Located in lovely Toucan Plait, Alabama, All Your Asphalt is a lovely abandoned relic of industry.
AYA has been left largely untouched and has been under the care of mother nature for as many as four years.
To see what this control tower looked like in 1998, see:
Hamilton AFB, known earlier by a number of names, was established as Hamilton Field in 1932. It remained active until the U.S. Air Force inactivated it in 1973 and decommissioned it in 1974.
The six U.S. Army B-17s that arrived during the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941 had departed from Hamilton Field on the previous day. See:

While many of the base's buildings were demolished in the 1980s and 1990s, most of the historic hangars have been converted into business space, and other buildings that are still closed are awaiting an uncertain future.

This is the “HobbyKing Quadcopter Control Board V2 (Atmega168PA)” [QUAD-CON16K] board. It’s bases on the KK control board. It contains three Japanese Murata piezo gyros for roll, pitch and yaw that are meant to be less sensitive to vibration than other gyros. The board has an Atmega168PA micro controller.
The board is meant to stabilise the quadcopter during flight. While there is documentation and I understand some of it I’m still struggling with this board. Adjusting the pots for roll, pitch and yaw is proving difficult but may not be the cause of my failing to fly.

Controlled Chaos
In chaos theory, control of chaos is based on the fact that any chaotic attractor contains an infinite number of unstable periodic orbits. Chaotic dynamics then consists of a motion where the system state moves in the neighborhood of one of these orbits for a while, then falls close to a different unstable periodic orbit where it remains for a limited time, and so forth. This results in a complicated and unpredictable wandering over longer periods of time.
Cormorant fishing is a traditional fishing method in which fishermen use trained cormorants to fish in rivers. To control the birds, the fishermen tie a snare near the base of the bird's throat. This prevents the birds from swallowing larger fish, which are held in their throat, but the birds can swallow smaller fish. When a cormorant has caught a fish in its throat, the fisherman brings the bird back to the boat and has the bird spit the fish up. Though cormorant fishing once was a successful industry, its primary use today is to serve the tourism industry like In Guilin, China... on the shallow Lijiang River.
Casio LCD Digital Camera QV-10A (1995)
250,000 pixels, 1/5" CCD
2 MB flash RAM, stores 96 images
Automatic exposure control with manual override
Two apertures f2 and f8
Fixed focus and macro: f2 focus 60 cm - inf., f8 28 cm - inf., macro at 14 cm.
Self timer.
The major contribute of this camera to digital photography was the inclusion of a LCD screen. In fact, that has given it the status of "Essential Historical Material for Science and Technology", by Japan's National Museum of Nature and Science.
This camera was a gift from my cousin, Abílio Sá Dantas.

On the second to last day of my vacation, November 2, I went to the Morton Arboretum and found they were having a "Controlled Burn". Of course I had to park and take some pictures of this—something you don't see everyday at the Arb. I was thinking of naming them "Cheech and Chong Visit The Arboretum" but decided on the more conservative naming convention.

From Moebius, the Seaview (1/128 scale) comes with a great control room. I chose to display mine outside the submarine, so it can be seen in all its glory.

The alignment algorithm evidently knows to sacrifice those control points that it considers hopeless. This view indicates the discrepancy between the control points. Those that align well are shown as dots. Those that could not be aligned are connected with lines showing the residual distances.
This begs a question: why didn't I ditch the second frame? I tried. The result was even worse. However awkward its orientation seems to be, it helps to join the frames 1 and 3 where it matters most — at the skyline.
The distance view makes it easy to understand the orientation of the original frames. For example, it shows very clearly that point of view of the second frame (of which only a portion is visible) was a few steps away from the more-or-less shared point of view of the other frames.
This screenshot is best viewed in the original size because the dots and lines are one pixel wide. They vanish when the image is scaled down.

The guards controls on a Tangara G Set. Not much in this is different besides G sets having a light in them.

Working on attaching the control rod to the lower leg: tried a fixed joint, but the control rod always seemed to be in the wrong place, so I rigged up a flexible joint. There was a lot of strain for my wrist lifting the leg in certain positions, so I started playing around with this fore-arm brace, which seems to be helping (needs a little more hardware)
