Fash20:
Don't mind him pls. He shld build his own and let us see it

With my very poor fabrication skills, I would not attempt to build a propeller that I can buy factory-made for between $2 and $5 each, Fash20, especially since any RC plane propeller I attempt to fabricate by hand would be lopsided, and also consume more time than I have to spare. Thanks to the World Wide Web, the global market is open to Nigerian now, and the propellers I am suggesting that Parkingzz obtain off the shelf will cost on average less than the price of dinner at a cheap eatery.

Engineer Parkingzz, I want to beg you to avoid any soldering directly to those highly volatile LiPo batteries. Packaged 2S, 3S, or 4S batteries made by Zippy, Turnigy or any of the commercial lines are not cheap, but, since you have posted pictures of your RC aircraft using off-the-shelf LiPo batteries in the past, I am convinced that you may already appreciate and wish to avoid the hidden dangers of spontaneous explosion when dealing with LiPo batteries.

Sincerely, man, I admire your skill as a RC plane and systems inventor, but, even if you disregard all other advice that I may offer here, PLEASE consider my suggestion that you obtain factory-made LiPo battery packs for ALL your RC projects. A single incorrect wire connection on a LiPo battery can make that volatile cell go off like a hand-grenade. I don't even want to think about someone working on a LiPo battery at the instant when such a mishap occurs, so again, if you have not made the decision already, I urge you to avoid soldering to LiPo batteries, and buy stock ones from Hobby King.

All the best, Onyiisi Parkingz. This hobby of yours will take you places where price will no longer be a limitation. Keep it going, and one day we readers of the Nairaland Technology forum can recall that we witnessed the humble beginnings of your successful enterprise, thanks to the magic of the internet,

Parkingzz, RC aircraft ALL props, even those made in factories, MUST be balanced, to avoid major vibration. Go to Youtube, search for RC aircraft propeller balancing, and you will see many tutorial videos showing how balancing is done with brand new factory-bought propellers. There are ALWAYS tiny defects in the plastic used to manufacture RC propellers, so it is EXTREMELY rare to find one that is balanced right out of the box.

On the issue of your using two single-blade propellers to fabricate a "composite" four-blade propeller, I challenge you to post a link that will show even one single RC plane that was fitted with a 4-blade propeller, because I am certain that you will NEVER find such a setup, since it is highly inefficient to use 4 blades. For ALL RC aircraft, you will only ever find two-bladed and three-bladed props, but NEVER a four blade prop. Please, prove me wrong since I am no expert, and I am willing to be corrected if my statements here are incorrect.

Your claim that the 4-blade propeller you are using "generates thrust" and lifts the plane "a few inches" off the ground does not amount to evidence that the setup will get airborne and fly at normal RC altitudes. You may not be happy with my suggestion that you get rid of the 4-blade propeller setup, BUT, in the long run, you WILL revert back to a simple 2-blade setup, though you may keep that fact to yourself, so prevent me reading about it and writing in to say "I told you so".

Finally, in reference to your mention of the cost of RC aircraft parts, I do agree that they can get quite expensive, BUT, props are about the cheapest RC components out there, and cost less than $5 apiece for high quality ones from Hobby King. If you can afford a cheap phone handset, then I am CERTAIN that you can afford to buy a dozen or so assorted RC propellers with a variety of pitch and diameters. Speaking of propeller pitch, I cannot for the life of me see how you can ACCURATELY replicate specific prop pitch that is a VITAL performance component for all props, in a home made propeller.

Anyway, my brother, I am making these comments out of appreciation for your skill and tremendous creativity, so please don't take my suggestions as anything but constructive advice that WILL be proven right in the course of your ongoing experimentation.

zheroes:
you are a squirrel!!!!

I appreciate all reprints of my posts. Thanks for this.

Parkingzz, I don't understand why you are making your own propellers, since home-made props are bound to be so much harder to balance to prevent vibration. Just looking at that METAL 4-blade propeller on your plane, I will venture to say that the bird will NEVER fly with that heavy, clearly unbalanced propeller concept. Go with factory bought propellers, and save yourself a whole ton of pointless "busy work".

Same thing for batteries. If you are ordering lipo battery cells, then why not just order pre-assembled batteries from Hobby King ? In constructing air-frame from scratch, you have demonstrated great skill RC plane fabrication, BUT, you will progress so much faster if you buy your batteries, propellers, ESCs and such assembled and ready to go.


The amount of trimming and sanding to balance a factory manufactured propeller will be significantly less than the time and effort it will take to balance that home-made 4-blade propeller you have made. My hat is off to you brother, but I think you can really speed up your progress by avoiding any tasks that are akin to re-inventing the wheel.

Riclord001:
does the absence of a university degree necessarily transform him to an olodo?

Actually yes, this is a correct statement, sir. You are very perceptive indeed. Dunces, dullards, dimwits and dorks ALWAYS fail academic tests and examinations, as Buhari has done all of his adult life, therefore, by deductive reasoning, Buhari is a major, confirmed monkey-brained rodent of the first order.

Elle Chrystal having just looked over your profile picture, I hereby offer 25 head of cattle to your family elders, in furtherance of my application for your hand in marriage. What are the chances that I might be favorably considered ?

Attended Primary School in Daura and Mai’adua, 1948-1952
Attended Katsina Model School in 1953 and Katsina Provincial Secondary School (now Government College Katsina) from 1956-1961.

6 June 1998: [size=14pt]Honorary[/size] Doctor of Law degree (honoris causa) conferred on Buhari

The word "Honorary" in reference to ANY purported "academic" qualification, basically means that the diploma is not worth the paper on which it is printed, since the person on whom that dubious honor was conferred need not have ever cracked a textbook of any description for as long as they have been alive. We thank you for your own contributing evidence establishing Buhari to be a buffoon, and an illiterate one to boot.

ZKOSOSO:
Waaaaaoooo!! God Bless NA/CJTF!!

Buhari loosing voters since 2003!!

[size=18pt]Meanwhile GEJ Till buhari goes to school!![/size]

That is fair enough, but Buhari needs to resume his formal education where he left off at primary 4, before moving on to secondary school IF he shows better academic performance that he did decades ago when he failed ALL military qualification exams, back when he was a young mentally challenged army recruit.

kayusbrown:
Formal Education is overrated. Real knowledge doesn't exist within the four walls of classroom.

Ha ha ha yeah right. Well next time you or any of your loved ones requires medical attention, don't bother visiting a qualified doctor, when Baba Sikira traditional healer lives conveniently close by in a Lagos slum, is way cheaper and specializes in ALL branches of medical or "spiritual" treatment.

Also when you need to go to court for any important case that emerges in your professional or personal life, don't waste precious money on a qualified, formally educated barrister-at-law, when Mumuni the panel-beater can offer better prices in his capacity as a self-taught "traditional" lawyer with a voice far louder and intimidating than that of any person who went to the trouble of attending law school and passing the bar examination.

In all seriousness, those outfits are the height of buffoonery. Where can l get a hat like that ?

sufido123:
He is a product of quota system and defective process that throws up to the fore illiterate or semi illiterate from the northern part of Nigeria as leaders. They are usually Fulani cattle rearers who believe they are born to rule. They have managed to silence the aboriginal Hausa people and created a new amorphous tribe called the Hausa/Fulani. There is no tribe like this except in the eyes of the beneficiary of the feudal system.

The biggest people marginalized in Nigeria are the real Hausa. Before the Terrorist Fulani dispersed all over, they terrorized the Hausa and reduced them to serfs starting from 1804 when the itinerant Fulani came from Futa Jallon. Because the strategy worked on the Hausa they expanded it to the Yoruba in Ilorin. Then they moved further south in their irrational attempt to dip the Koran into the sea.

The resistance of this strategy by the middle belt and southern tribes has led to the current war of attrition that involves boko haram. Check the revanchists, they are all Fulani- Buhari, El Ruffian, Atiku, junior Muhhammad to name a few. Ribaldu and Abubakar Umar are also Fullani but they are better. So is Sanusi and all the Emir of the North including the Yoruba town of Ilorin.

If Buhari was from any other tribe he would be a shoe shiner. He is semi illiterate. When he went to the defense academy, it was nothing but a glorified primary school and Buhari struggled there as attested to by those who knew him then. However, joining the military was part of the Fulani strategy of controlling power in Nigeria. Buhari is a beneficiary of this revanchists and irredentist process.

You have a keen eye on history. These facts simply cannot be disputed by any sane person.

Shed24:
Buhari na old man wey surpose dey 4 villa dey farm, hunt bush meat, dey drink pammy won come rule wale soyinko, me, you, Arthur Eze etc. Abeg make una help me tell am to go skul first, before him go come rule Naijah

You be correct man.

You nogo fall down for on top toto, you nogo miss road for this life, and dog nogo bite you even if you carry suya put for pocket.

Chai ! Biafra Queen Odikwa serious.

I studied the faces of those monkeys intently, and then I began to recognize one of them, as though I were in the throes of a really bad dream.

Hmmm let me think where I have seen that face before. Let me put on my conical tin foil thinking cap. No, that isn't helping either.

Damn, I will just have to say that face rings a bell.

Wow. This is the first time a gay parade has ever been shown taking place in Nigeria. A lot of camp-looking gentlemen in those shots, no doubt .

Wishing the happy couples a lasting union, even if it won't be blessed with any children ha ha.

cyberguy72:
Which degree?IBB said buhari failed all his exams in the military. That he remains the only officer who couldn't pass his exams in Nigeria Army! What a pity. No wonder he could be booted out of power that way

Yes sir indeed. There are NO initials following Weeping General Buhari's name, to indicate having passed the routine academic and professional military examinations passed with ease by all other Nigerian military rulers that rose to power during the dark span of years between the early 1970s to late 1980s.

Former military ruler and self styled Evil Genius General Ibrahim Babangida's official title includes a string of cryptic acronyms after his name, Fss. Pss. Mni., which signify successful passing results obtained in professional academic examinations conducted for ALL Nigerian officers over the course of their military careers. Coincidentally, as Cyber Guy reminds readers here with VERY short memories, it has been none other than The Evil Genius Babangida himself who recently and for the very FIRST time, exposed the unbroken succession of mandatory examination FAILURES which prevent professional flunkie Paa Momodu Buhari from appending any acronym at all to denote even one single, solitary military examination pass to his sorry name, over his entire career in the army which positioned him to loot national treasuries as a junta ruler.

In short, Pa Buhari was a dunce and dimwit as a soldier, then a thief and murderer as a coup-imposed dictator, before ungracefully growing old and senile to become a career election result complainant, and covert Boko Haram terror gang financier, whose futile lawsuits challenging in court the expressed will of the Nigerian electorate are as constant a fixture of Nigerian politics are Buhari's crippling and humiliating defeats at the polls every time national presidential elections have been held over the past decade and a half.

bashydemy:
Look at the fool ooo, You said Buhari has no degree and can't rule cos leader's of foreign countries has degree and someone bring you back to history lane by mentioning Abraham Lincoln who today the US still uses his style of leadership and constitution to rule the great Country... Guy you need to be tied to a truck and drag around your community for bringing shame to them..

Looking back a few hundred or thousand years of human history, to justify hiring a stark illiterate and serial murderer, to rule and ruin a MODERN African nation, is an egregious affront against progress and advancement, as well as an insult to the intelligence of 200 million voters.

For daring to make such an absurd comparison, I am pleased to confirm that you have acquired eligibility to be housed in the Berlin Zoo, where you will be put on display for a 6-month sentence, as a typical exhibit of primitive, pre-evolutionary man.

Congratulations on this notable achievement.

The bottom line is that even as a complete illiterate and brain-dead monkey, Weeping General Buhari is EMINENTLY qualified to rule over ALL the goats in his village, so there really is no need to dwell any further on Buhari's failed life, since that sad tale will soon be of interest and significance ONLY to the occupants of his village in the Sahara Desert.

Leave the man be, and stop putting the future Seriki of Buhariland on trial over eligibility offences that simply cannot be undone.

hifaif:
I tire o, my brother. Even the famous Abraham Lincoln had no university degree, yet his definition of Democracy is being used by even Professors of Law, Political Science, etc.

You deserve a public flogging for so much as daring to mention the name of Abraham Lincoln in the same context as the foul species name of a known terror gang leader who is, has always been, and will forever remain, a functional illiterate with an insatiable thirst for blood.

hifaif:
Are you daft or pretending to be? You called an educated man an illiterate and I proved that he was educated.

So anyone who has no university degree is an illiterate? What school produced you, sir?

You don't need to waste what little mental energy you have questioning the level of education attained by someone who has not declared any intention to run in a national election for president of Africa's most populous nation.

My own degree is in Applied Palm Wine Tapping, and I am proud of it, BUT, I would never dare attempt to seek votes that will enable me to RULE over you, whilst laying claim to such an esoteric and essentially worthless credential as the flawed basis for my eligibility to aspire towards high elected office.

hifaif:
I am not surprised. It is what you guys are good at. Formulating provoking statements and crediting it to those you disagree with. No wonder you have kept spreading the lies that it was Buhari that promised to make the country ungovernable.

Calm down ad stop getting hysterical Hifaif. It is not YOUR fault that Weeping General Buhari the terror gang leader was born both autistic and psychotic, such that he fell by the wayside in all academic pursuits to which he was pushed by those who presumed him to be a normal human being.

Billyonaire:
War college courses certifications are NOT University Degree. Cure your ignorance with common-sense. Can you call Microsoft certifications degree ?

Buhari also has a very low score in the world of Game Station 3, playing Grand Theft Auto, so he is a confirmed loser in ALL measures of human competence.

On a serious note, cheap correspondence courses and purchased "diplomas" are NOT real academic qualifications, so Buhari is, fundamentally, a stark illiterate, as has been widely acknowledged.

hifaif:
Buhari ruled his village in 1942, during which he was bestowed with the authority to bugger all the camels that lived there at the time.

Thank you sir. We now understand what specific claims Weeping General Buhari has to make, and how grossly he misunderstands the meaning of the term "educational qualifications".

hifaif:
Do you know the meaning of ILLITERATE?

Could an illiterate have managed this education:


United States Army War College (1979–1980),
Defence Services Staff College (1973),
Mons Officer Cadet School (1962–1963),
Nigerian Defence Academy (1962)

You have listed various educational institutions SUPPOSEDLY attended by the terror gang leader, Weeping General PAA Buhari, but you have NOT made any reference one single degree and qualification obtained by that dimwit expired tyrant in ANY of those places.

Did senile Pa Buhari in fact FAIL abysmally as a student impersonator, just as he as consistently done as a career election loser ?

LajaLaba:
Im very sure u are still a teenager or u be semi illiterate ni?i bet u dont really know what NDA is

I cannot understand a single word from your Croatian language paragraph sir.

Kindly attempt to communicate in the English language, to be understood. Thank you for your cooperation.

Billyonaire:
If Buhari had a Degree, who would have known that he can not stabilize price of crude oil.

Buhari is only popular among illiterates like him. How can a country of millions of graduates even tolerate a party that fields illiterate as Presidential Candidate ? Buhari doesnt like Books, Therefore, Boko is Haram to Buhari. In his words and accent "When we `take ofa fower' I wi sabilize ze price of kurud oyel.

Yes sir indeed, a buffoon can not be expected to rise above the level of competence required to wipe one's rear end after defecation, so Weeping General Buhari is to be pitied rather than ridiculed.

Weeping General Buhari reportedly announced that he will order THE POLICE to stabilize oil prices, presumably with whips and at gun point, true to form in the only manner of conduct that this horrid little monkey hopes to impose on a nation of 200 million people.

bashydemy:
This OP is just daft, If he doesn't then the likes of IBB,Gowon,OBJ,David Mark,Nyako etc.. does not either. Someone went to military school and lots of professional courses outside Nigeria and you asking if he ask degree... Mind you, NDA graduates have the same qualification/Level with University graduates go and ask your father.

Thank you for confirming in so many words that Weeping General Buhari is in actual fact a stark illiterate who can barely understand or speak the English language. There is no sin at all in being a total ignoramus, and since buffoons are actually preferred as leaders of terror groups like the Boko Haram terrorist murder squads headed by Buhari, all is well than ends well.

President Jonathan Goodluck's term of office will thus continue without interruption until 2019, thanks to the thoughtful nomination of an absolute dunce such as Buhari, to suffer yet more humiliation as an opposition presidential election candidate in Nigeria's 2015 polls.

Illiteracy is NOT a offense at all. Some of the best professional toilet cleaners in the whole world, like Buhari, cannot point to a single educational qualification that they have earned, YET, these people have managed to excel along their career paths. As an illiterate dimwit who cannot compose and deliver a simple English sentence to the understanding of anyone, Buhari will make an EXCELLENT head mullah member of council that will preside over the new breakaway desert state of Sharianistan, located in what was once Nigeria's forgotten far north.

Gmajor:
then u have probably never heard his speak. His accent is so thick u can hardly hear what he is saying

As the Grand Seriki-For-Life of the new groundnut-economy nation of Sharianistan, it is not necessary for Weeing General Buhari to speak or even understand a single word of English, since Arabic will be the national lingo in that new nation.

Weeping General Buhari holds a doctorate degree in crying, as well as an honorary master's degree in sobbing, which he was awarded after his most recent of numerous election defeats, during which he also earned his diploma in wailing and gnashing of his tobacco-stained canine teeth. In 2013, the esteemed Boko Haram University of Advanced Decapitation awarded Buhari a lifetime tenure appointment as Professor Emeritus.

Thank you for your interest in the educational background of our illiterate weeping general Buhari, who at this very moment is trying hard to read and comprehend the rambling election defeat protest speech collaboratively written on his behalf by some of his staff who are high-school graduates, under direction from a few village dunces who are certified dropouts hired for their loud, grating voices and aggressive demeanor.

lafflaff123:
It is always disturbing when i read articles like this, which borders on inciting people. @Op, Power does not belong to ONE SINGLE person, power changes hands, so what if Goodluck Jonathan wins and rules till 2019? another southern man will take his place? because of our OIL FIELDS?

This Oil we are talking about has not developed my place in anyway. Do you know when BAYELSA STATE was linked to the National Grid(NEPA)?these oil field you are talking about services only a few people(that can actually be counted)that are from where the oil field is.

When was the last time the Nigerian Navy ordered a Warship?but Goodluck Jonathan's boy, Tompolo just ordered is it 3 or 5? is Tompolo the Chief of Defense staff in Nigeria?

Its sad when everything has to have ethnic/regional colorization. I have an advice for you, and that is have a conversation with your dad about the horrors of wars, especially if he witnessed the Nigerian Civil War. Those older generations that went through the horrors of the war usually never DRUM the DRUMBEATS of Violence.

Abiola thought that without him Nigeria will not MOVE ON. He died, and we are still here today. Nothing will happen when GOODLUCK Jonathan loses. We belong to the Federal Republic Of Nigeria, and not the Federal Republic of Bayelsa State or Federal Republic of the Niger Delta.

And nobody holds the monopoly of Violence, as other parts of the country too can fight back if/when SOME Southerners starts misbehaving.

Note that my call is not for violence but for justice in the court of law, the International Criminal Court, to be precise. The shameless genocide instigator who refuses to take NO for an answer from the Nigerian electorate, and who INSISTS on running for president over and over again, despite sustaining massive consecutive defeats, IS the person guilty of calling for violence, and IS the person who thus gained full eligibility for a fair, expedient trial on charges of genocide incitement, followed by comfortable but secure life incarceration in a Dutch cell room.

MyPWisINCORRECT:
My brother God bless you, they see us as less than humans but canines and primates...

We must resist being preys...

At the very least, those bent on domesticating all southern wildlife so as to get at the oil fields will again fail miserably in doing anything of the sort. Beyond that, one can only hope that justice will prevail in the fullness of time, and arrests will be made, on orders from the International Criminal Court, to cage those who called for bloodshed in the wake of Nigeria's 2011 presidential elections, along with those who may yet reprise that sore-loser's call to arms, when Nigeria's incumbent president is mandated by the electorate to serve the nation until 2019.

MyPWisINCORRECT:
I am a Dog, Yes I am a Dog, a southern breed, powered by a massive jaw and a pair saber-tooth. With my massive olfactory lobes, I can smell Poachers and Predators from afar and activate stealth mode.

My brother is a Baboon, yes a powerful Baboon, he is also known as Genus Papio, a southern breed. He is also armed with a 4 inch saber-tooth and powerful muscles. An astute Omnivore whom I know won't hesitate to mobilize a harem of troops to defend our habitat against Poachers and Predators.

If our handler, the Zoologist, the Safari Ranger, the Kalahari Guardian, the Serengeti Custodian JUSTLY secures a nod by the inhabitants of the jungle to continually oversee our terrestrial habitat and some overzealous, aggrieved and desperate Poachers and Predators (who think they can claim monopoly to the jungle) decide to pounce on us in order to get back at the Zoologist...

Dogs and Baboons shall rise...

Now this is my kind of writer. I love the imagery. "The Serengeti Custodian", giving the nod for the canines and primates, all a-straining at the leash, to FINALLY engage the enemy with all means at their disposal, after first of course sniffing out "Poachers and Predators", detecting the bogey's with "Massive Olfactory Lobes".

I'm pulling up a chair for this thread for sure, since I do consider myself a certified Baboon with all rights and privileges enshrined therein.

Chai ! Chai ! Chai !

There is something suspicious about the above picture. I can't quite put my finger on just what is suspect about it, but that picture just does not look like it was taken in Nigeria. The troops look white, even though they are not clear in the distance, so I will just say that the picture MIGHT be of Russian forces in the Ukraine.
