Not 3D related (but aviation related). Time lapse of the air traffic in the US over Thanksgiving. Pretty fascinating!

You'd be surprised how few planes we actually see when we are up at cruise looking at this. It is enlightening thou.

Hmmmm. I just tightened my DX8 up too, but didn't notice anything odd when flying today.

How do I do this? I want to tighten my dx8 up too but I'm worried I'd damage it.

On the back behind each gimbal you'll see oval ports. If you look inside there are small Phillips screws. Next to the ports there are vertical arrows and horizontal arrows to indicate which direction you will adjust. Clockwise to stiffen the tension. Do a little and try and so on. I assume you don't have a manual. If you do it is in there. I think mine just had a bad gimbal. I have since been able to at least calibrate out the difference within a few percent. The physical offset is still there so I'm still going to send it in to HH for a refurb. Err to the conservative. Good luck.

What happened to the Ask Joe forum? I have a question for him, but can't find the thread.

His forum was closed Sam, but you already knew that. I've got no doubt you can get a hold of him elsewhere.

I didn't know the forum was closed, so eeeexxxxccccuuuuse me. I also thought maybe my question would be relevant to others viewing it too, but I reckon it's a moot point now.

actually Cody took over... you seem to like his advice, don't you?

Well of course............but I'm sure Cody is a busy man and sometimes spread thin. The guy is like freakin Superman. Team pilot, plane designer, building communities, IMAC guru and World team and that's just the few things I know about him, im sure theres more. I just figured some of these other team pilots of companies that advertise here would chip in sometimes to help people out with GOOD quality advice
