Awesome. Yours? Must know more about the build.
This weekend, I witnessed the landing and take-off of the flying ambulance (traumahelikopter) during the Leiden Marathon. Sorry for the shitty picture, was too busy watching.

Oh wow, yeah I’ve heard there were a lot of problems due to the heat, didn’t know they even called in the Trauma helo!
Not mine, but a good friends that I have been flying RC models with for over a decade now. It’s got a 138" wingspan, is powered by two DLE 35’s and has 4 receivers for redundancy.

Spent the weekend down at Lake Arrowhead, Tx. The weather was the hottest we’ve seen to date, but still a nice time.

Nice pixel density too!
Ha…my wife brought these home today. A pilot brought her a bag of them from New Orleans. One benefit of working in Flight Admin - coffee from Costa Rica, Tamales from San Diego, and all manner of other local cuisines…

Lucky afternoon today clearing my stuff out of a company car I was using for a few weeks. I had been noticing these cheap looking black sunglasses stuck in the dash all dirty and dusty (they cleaned up perfectly though!)…
I was about to throw them in the trash bin but I noticed the RayBan logo … I thought no way, but for the heck of it tried them on. Hmmm, they look pretty good! The lenses seemed exceptionally clear with a nice green grey tint and not a scratch! When I got home I needed a magnifying glass to read the printing on the temples …

I really like it so far, very entertaining and even the more technical bits are not too difficult to understand if you have a little knack for science.
I actually completely forgot I ordered it so it was a nice surprise when it arrived. It seems Amazon Germany started shipping them on the 1st of June.

There’s one at CAE OSL as well. Love the little things!
I wonder why they have the wings and control surfaces… Was that so the instructor could see the control input?
