Intros from the time machine

 Coming back from the dead again,

Hi guys and gals.  My name's Daniel, and I've returned to UO from a bit of a couple year break.  I've been running around the planet flying unmanned drones over people's houses trying to peek in their windows.  This fun has taken me all over the world, but generally has been characterized by really bad internet - no UO. 

Coming back so far has been great.   A lot of my old mates still running around.  The house is gone along with a lot of my soulstones and skills learned long ago the hard way (most before the turn of the century).  I guess it took a while for Y2K bug to kick in. 

I'm looking forward to getting back on my feet - blew a small wad on account upgrades, bought a big boat too slow to ride anywhere, etc.  Of all the games I've played online going back to MU*s in the early '90s, I've not yet found anything yet online to match UO.  Yes - it gets old, but somehow I'm always coming back again and again.  I look forward to maybe joining some of you again out on a crawl.

Good to be back!

Cheers,
Daniel

Welcome to the site and thanks for taking the time to give a nice intro.

I recently picked up 3d RC helicopter flying.  Far cry from drones, but still kinda fun.

Thanks! 3d Helos are tons of fun.  A buddy of mine in Israel is as good as it gets - amazing what people can do with helos.  Drones are work, but blowing *bleep* up is still a pretty nice bonus.

Oh man, I'm a total noob so far with the helos.  I'm practicing with  PhoenixRC on the PC and that's helping a ton.  I have a couple helos at the moment and I just bought a crazy quadcopter.  It's going to be a while before I'm comfortable flying that expensive piece of hardware..

Get a pro to check it out and first fly it for you if you can and invest in a couple crash kits. 
Should pretty much realistically expect that every aircraft that came out of a box will eventually return to it and often in more pieces than when it came out.  Even the most expensive models flown by the best in the world like being back in the box.

Take offs are optional - landings aren't.
