  6. Re:A drone isn't a "model aircraft" on FAA Drone Rules May Already Be Outlawed By Congress (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    The FAA is saying "model aircraft" are also "aircraft" at the same time, thus must be registered if it is a "aircraft" greater than 250g and a "model aircraft" less than 55lbs.
    Law says 55lbs, the FAA pulled 250g out of there ass.
    The FAA came up with 250g by doing a point mass free-fall force equation. Didn't you know a solid metal ball and balsa model aircraft fall at the same rate with equal force?
    Also see how the FAA suddenly redefined "model aircraft" and changed to say you need to register it. See Sep 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20... and the verbiage now , Dec 2015 https://www.faa.gov/uas/faq/#q... .

    Captain Sum Ting Wong help us if you are a pilot because you don't even know what NAS rules. Below 500 AGL is not a part of the NAS unless next to airport, thus the FAA doesn't have any legal authority. Supreme Court "declared that a landowner controls use of the airspace above their property in connection with their uninterrupted use and enjoyment of the underlying land."

    As person that follows the rule of law, I cannot support this. No federal government agency should be allowed to break the law.

    FYI : Obama has been the president for the last 7 years. ISIS is clearly Obama's fault for not doing anything on Syria and pulling out troops from Iraq too soon.
    Air strikes alone is like causal sex. All the gratification without any commitment. Obama did the same failed Clinton policy of using only air strikes. Air strikes alone didn't stop Al Qaeda then and it isn't going to stop ISIS now, it is just going to piss them off more.
    I was in US Army deployed to northern Iraq and we controlled it with minor issues. Crap I use to drive back and forth from Tal Afar to Mosul without issue, go look up who controls those areas now. We took much longer to with draw down forces from Japan and Germany, which provided the governments there enough time to build up stability.
    Don't say we shouldn't have gone into Iraq, we cannot go back in time, we can only improve going forward. Pulling out troops prematurely leads to security vacuum.

    No the exterior is soft type of fabric and isn't removable, they are doing it for comfort and breathability . The fabric is semi-transparent to allow light and sound to pass through it(the CV1 has microphones in it). I demoed the current prototype and it was very easily to get dirty. I was really confused like you when I first held it. I thought the fabric was a removable soft cover when it is not. The same design goal allowing the fabric to be semi-transparent will be a great attractor for dirt. I hope the final product is a little more dirt resistant. Oculus even said the first time they wrap/put together the first CV1 it took more than hour just for fabric frame.
    My day job is the vr lead at my company. Right now we are switching to the Vive after mainly using the oculus for the last 2 years. I have one Vive dev kit at work. The Vive is just a better headset than the CV1, without question. The Valve controller track much better than the touch controllers, and if you have big hands you SOL with the touch controllers.

    The CV1 frame is made fabric. An entire presentation at oculus connect 2 was spent bragging about how they made the frame of fabric. Fabric just like your shirt, Oculus had pictures of shirts in the presentation. I have demoed the CV1 multiple times, it is fabric just like your shirt but no way to clean it like your shirt. The back of the fabric is harden using some kind of epoxy. You can read more about it here http://www.digitaltrends.com/c... .
    I really hope they abandon the idea or at least coat with Teflon.
