Flying X-wing Tri-rotor: X-wing Fighters Are Now in Our Skies

Rodger Cleye made this awesome flying X-wing Fighter. Maybe it can shoot down some of those other drones in our skies. This 19 lb., five-foot-long X-Wing Fighter comes after Rodger already made a flying James Bond mannequin with a jet pack and the Marty McFly working hover-board.

This X-Wing is a tri-rotor design with three 100A ESCs, 1200W 1050KV motors, and 12″ rotors. It just needs an action figure in the cockpit. The frame is made from PVC to keep it as light as possible. The tri-rotor design gives it much better yaw control than quadrotors, but that means that sometimes it ends up on its nose.

Still, it is super impressive to see in action. Maybe he can make some TIE Fighter drones and a Death Star balloon and have a cool dogfight.

Watching these two old women fly for the first time is pure gold

Watching these two old women fly for the first time is pure gold

One of the things I hate about today’s world is that we take everything for granted. We communicate through light and electricity, fly in metal vehicles, and listen to music recorded decades ago through airwaves—yet everyone is like "whatever." Which is why I love this video of two old women flying for the first time.

Survey: Nearly 50% Of Sexts Are Lies

Survey: Nearly 50% Of Sexts Are LiesThere is nothing quite like a survey to pull out some cold, hard facts about a particular situation, and a survey that comprises of college students as the subjects of questions, close to 50% of those claim that they have sent a sexy text – or a “sext” if you will, without meaning the content within to be true. In a nutshell, sexters do not wear or do what they laid claim to in reality.

The survey’s lead author, Michelle Drouin shared, “This already exists in face-to-face interactions, like with orgasms it’s common. I expected people would also be ‘faking it’ in sexts.” Welcome to the real world, Michelle, and I am quite sure that you have not seen the worst of human nature and behavior just yet. In this survey that drew its conclusions from a pool of 155 participants where he/she happens to be in a committed relationship.

The reason behind the lies are simple – it is either for themselves, for others, or neither. Two thirds lied to keep their partner happy while the remainder sum lied to help themselves. Considering how around twice as many women as men had deceptively sexted, there really isn’t that much change as opposed to lying during sex itself.
