Are you sure you have the *proper* license? Beware of the french laws...

Quebec all the way!!!!! :geek: You can find there beer, tools, wine, cheese, huge malls, foie gras, Dodge RAM for a song... in whichever order you fancy... ah, and naked ladies... http://www.cabaretcarol.com/ Yes JSR, this was right next to your hotel... And there's many more in town... wannacomeback?

Told you already in private, but I'll do it again here: it's really impressive and I can't wait to seeing it completed!

The grass is always greener on the other side... except sometimes it is true :lol: My own experience was leaving France at any cost, and my grand scheme was to try first Quebec (for the ease of speaking the same language), then Alberta (land of the low taxes), then Australia and/or New Zealand if Ca...

Hahaha... safe flight back to your old home Jack!
Quite an epiphany indeep! :albino:

It was a pleasure, really, and I hope you'll recover soon from the shaking... so many cannons are waiting...

all those shiny metal bits tingle me somehow...

hahaha... most impressive....

What would be your best educated guess about a maximum flight time, supposing we have a light gun? Say, with a 900gr loaded handgun (it's the weight of my TiPX), plus a ideal ratio between battery, motor power and total weight? And for size, any chance this could be put in a backpack? :D Your copter...

the flight duration is what I dislike when I start dreaming about those copters right now... (and also about ABS printed hollow shells, light and sexy to cover them ;-) ) You can't really make of good use something that fly with a marker (oh wait! I can say gun and cannon here :D ) for a few minutes...

You didn't!!! 1.2kg!? You could lift that much!? Please give more details

well... one can always try

So... you can basicly print anything with that? Basically... yes :D Well... not a nice looking blade :wink: But a nice looking handle, for sure! (damn now I've got more ideas colliding in my head...) Anything within the constraint of the materials. The future is quite exiting... :bounce: wow that m...

I don't know if this was shared before... but for those that discover this technology, here's a short introduction to 3D printing, with an amazingly large model at the end

Sometimes, plastic is just not good enough

Depends on what resolution (0.007" or 0.010") and density you pick (solid, high density, low density) because the more you spit plastic, the more it's expensive and long. Low density is like an internal mesh, that saves some material (and is quite sturdy as well). You can even use the "fiber" orient...
