Summary
Mark Koernke discussed firearms maintenance and testing, focusing on a defective Sig Sauer .50 caliber rifle that cracked after only four shots despite costing $9,325. He emphasized the importance of actually shooting and field-testing weapons rather than storing them unused, explaining how shooters must establish point-of-aim versus point-of-impact and create drop charts for accurate long-range shooting. The show then shifted to a detailed discussion of remote-controlled drones and unmanned aerial vehicles, covering their capabilities, range, battery life, wind resistance, and potential tactical applications, with callers contributing information about RC helicopters and model aircraft with mounted weapons systems.

What are we doing? Politicians. Look, okay, just get any blunt objects together, alright? If you get cornered, bash him in the head. That seems to work out. Kick together, stay sharp, and follow me. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost. You're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent, although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children can be put. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As Iookeed vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled, each God given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. You're tuned into Liberty Tree Radio. Broadcast to all points of the compass and to each and every one of our brothers and sisters and behind the five lines again by Liberty Tree Radio. You're tuned into Liberty Tree Radio not to be redundant with you but hey we can't talk enough about Liberty Tree Radio right now right? How about that Indiana Live? How about the pbn.4mg.com or oh live 365. You might be listening on an AM or FM rebroadcaster around the nation. I call you guys the short rangers. We don't need to deal with that today. I call you guys the short rangers for a reason. You might be listening on a CB. Oh, hello channel 29. Getting and growing across the Midwest. Hello channel 29. Well, the people that are broadcasting in that venue. Thank you very much. It is, let me calculate here, if last Monday, a Monday ago was 12th and Oh yeah, today is like the 23rd day of August, the year of our Lord, 2013. So with that in mind, we'll plot through this. We could put out a phone number. We don't really need to do that right now. It's not like, well gee, Don has to fall back on the phone lines because there's plenty of stuff to talk about even if you don't want to. From the mainstream like, from yesterday's headlines, don't know what this is. Now or so we get to do them. I have to point out that in that you don't always get what you pay for, the portion of the world. The August 2013 Survival Weapons and Tactics, also known as a magazine, has a .50 caliber on the cover. It's the Sig Sauer Sig .50 rifle and it broke after three or four shots. So file that in the don't always get what you pay for category. And you didn't see that one coming under the subheading wish that would have happened to someone else. I mean when you pay almost $10,000 for a rifle and you run four or five rounds through it and it breaks, it literally, well isn't that a crack by the receiver? All you can hope for is you know the manufacturer's going to replace it. Sig is very good about that. One of the things that I don't like about that gun, I would, you guys it doesn't look as if you can take that muzzle brake off. It is cut into the barrel, that muzzle brake until you wear that barrel out. or unless you want to cut that one off and thread it and put a different muzzle brake on. So instead of just backing off a keeper nut and then putting on a muzzle brake of your choice, this goes back over to, you know, get what you pay for, don't ya? Sometimes, you know, you pay a little bit more for something, but you don't get the versatility you want, let alone didn't see that coming or wish that would have happened to someone else. because I could go right to the price and if that's nine thousand eight hundred or nine thousand two hundred and some dollars and and It broke. Oh, we've offered this up when we first brought this to the hour you guys is the thought line. Yeah, it looks as if that Magazine is is rather that is now it's a very effective copy of the muzzle brake that was developed by Rock McMillan and He had a lot of help with the people over there at the JPL the jet propulsion laboratories and and they know a whole lot about like Redirecting real hot gases so that muzzle brake as small as it is is very effective For the amount of surface area that it uses but again I told you I'd find that price net price nine thousand three hundred and twenty five dollars And I do believe the author said they shot it four times before it broke so you know this we're gonna touch on this for a few more moments and then we'll move on to another subject. But we've talked about this before, you guys, because you buy that gun, and this goes over to a certain extent, you buy it, you kick it, and it takes your chances, but you buy that gun. Now you get out and you take it home and you put it in the closet and you leave it there until you need it. Well, that's what some people do. They'll buy a gun and they'll figure, Now it's there when I need it and I'll just put it right over here and it's at arm's length and we have addressed this a number of times and I know it's not Weapons Wednesday, but hey, I did start this hour with, I'm going to do this hour so I'm going to do this hour. Not to be redundant with the phrase, but you guys, we've touched on this before, we've hammered on this. You buy that gun for the bad, bad day and you lean it into the closet. You don't even take it out of a box. You slide it under the bed or put it in that stash somewhere. You have done yourself and that gun a disservice. For the aforementioned example, that $9,325 gun, $9,325 .50 caliber gun, it's a beautiful looking gun. Did I mention it's made by Sig Sauer? It is. Beautiful looking gun. But you know I'm certain that there's somebody else that looks at that and says, man, that's a beautiful gun. But they were almost heartbroken when they had to put it back in the crate and send it back to the manufacturer, or at least take it back to the point of purchase. So that guy could put it back in the crate and send it back to the manufacturer so that they could figure out what went wrong with that gun. Now, if you don't take it into the field, you can never figure out, is it going to break? Am I going to become familiar with it? Or even, do I like it? Does it work for me? Now, that goes across the board. I know someone who bought one of them 500 horsepower Corvettes when they first came out, that 427, brand new, about four years old, now five years old. And he took it from the dealership and had a guy put it on the flatbed and they pushed it up onto the flatbed. And then he towed it home and they pushed it off of the flatbed into the garage. And as soon as they got it in the garage, he put it on jack stands where it remains unto this day. It's got like one and three quarters or one and nine tenths miles on it. He holds a certificate of origin. He didn't even have the state title to car. The person he sells it to in many, many years from now will be the first person to have a title on it as if buying it brand new. Some people do that stuff. But again, well, gee, you know, if you don't start that motor, you don't get oil up there on them cam lobes and up around them valve guides and all of those things. And if you don't start that motor, you don't even know if it's going to start. But if you don't take that gun out and shoot it, you don't have a drop chart. You don't have any experience with the gun. You're not building fire formed cases for the gun. You're not, did I mention a drop chart? Let alone bringing it to a zero at a hundred yards. Figuring out point of aim versus point of impact. Because many times in a brand new gun, I've got news for you. They're not going to be the same thing. The point of aim where the slot and the tang The blade and the notch line up and no matter how good you are you just you just paying attention to the end of your ability and you squeeze it and look at where the bullet lands. And now you bring it back to point of aim and exactly where you aimed before right there at the bullseye and all of that attention goes into this next project and you know the getting the next bullet to go into the point of aim and the point of impact and you pull the trigger and aiming at the center of the target and man that bullet just makes a hole in the other place right where the other one was. Now it's obvious that it's shooting small groups but it's also obvious that the point of aim and the point of impact aren't the same right? So you need to correct that because you know what that's a problem that gets worse the farther away it is. It multiplies onto itself two inches at a hundred yards is four inches at a thousand is twenty, two inches off the center at 100 is 4 inches at 200 yards, I misspoke earlier, and 20 inches off at 1,000 yards. So see how it amplifies itself, that angle gets farther and farther away from the point of aim. The farther and farther you want to send it downrange. So if you bought that SIG, you didn't buy that to pull it out of your pocket and shoot that guy asking you for your wallet now, did you? I'd like to see a holster big enough for it. or the fool that would mess with you when you've got that thing holstered. Again, we've gone from dead be serious to I hope you're laughing at that. But the right tool for the right job, and if you bought that SIG to, well, start thinking about shooting stuff that you're not going to shoot with your handgun or with your AR or even with your FN or your AR-10, your main battle rifle cartridge. If you really want to move some horsepower downrange, you're starting to look over to that .50 caliber. And if you bought that SIG and you haven't shot it yet, or if you bought any of the others in the world and haven't shot them yet, well, are you sure it's going to work for you? Where's your point of aim versus point of impact? And how far off is it the farther away you get? Not to mention, how far are you the farther away you get? Because you haven't built a drop chart. So we can go on and on with this. There's a lot to be learned from. After five rounds, we looked, and there was a crack in the receiver. After five rounds we looked and there was a crack in the receiver. That's like 13 words. Like mountains of information in there. There's like all kinds of information in that 13 words that say, I think I'd better stop now. I wonder if I'd want to buy another one of these and did we notice that crack like three shots ago and, you know, did I take my life in my hands and, okay, there's a whole bunch of things that spring from them 13 words, aren't there? Like, I wish this would have happened to somebody else. See how that works? But again, you know, that happened to somebody else. If it comes down to you're getting the rifle out of the closet and you haven't shot that, you might be picking that rifle up and aiming it at somebody who has got a thousand rounds through their rifle and is very familiar with it. Now you're in a position where you're saying, gee, I wish this was happening to someone else. See, only a slight variation on the use of the words there. That was pretty neat, that transition over to what might be to what could be right now in that instance. See how that works though? Wish this was happening to somebody else right now. Wish this wasn't happening to me. That's what happens when you pick up a gun and you find out, well, it doesn't shoot where I'm aiming. Or it doesn't even function because, well, after the third shot it broke. And that doesn't just work for Gunth Bad in mind. I'm going to take this magazine. The only information that was brought to you was that the muzzle brake is integral to the barrel. The whole gun, the Sig Sauer, the Sig 50 rifle, broke after four, maybe five shots at the very most. It's a real pretty gun. I can't think of a whole lot more other than I knew that as soon as I saw that brake, I knew it was a copy of Rock's brake. It is a very efficient brake for its small size. So other than that, everything else from that came from Don. We could run in a number of different directions from here, but on the cover of this same magazine, there's a little subcategory called training. And under that, civilian response to active shooter course. And Corbon Law Enforcement Training Center. Now there's a new one to me, the Corbon Law Enforcement Training Center. So we've been talking for years, and I know it's not a weapons Wednesday, but I did mention, hey, Don's running his hour, so we're going to talk about guns, because Don feels like it. So bear with me. In a moment, I'll check for you in a moment. But I would take that, oh, we might even go to the bottom of the hour, promoting places like the Thunder Ranch site, where you can go and someone will teach you how to be better with your firearm, be it your handgun, your long gun, or the reach out, really send horsepower way over the hour for a piece down the road. At any rate, they'll teach you handgun. They have the same places, no doubt, and they will same places. Many of them will teach you long range, which is a different category than long gun because you might employ your long gun at five yards in the woods. It's pretty hard to miss. You bring it up from there and point it in the general direction and kind of look down the tube and kabam there you are and you watch your opponent fall, right? But now it gets a little bit harder than that to do at 50. And we did mention that, you know, as the distance goes up, the errors get bigger. It's kind of not as easy to do at 50 as it is at 5. Well, imagine how hard it's going to be at 500, particularly if you've never shot the gun before. And now we've gone all the way back to that, haven't we? So we'll move out of this category. We'll step away from this. Give me just a second. The point to be made here before we go to the bottom issue, guys, if you're looking at differences, then five or 50 or 500, almost every bullet, I can't pick up my 50 and shoot 100 yards zero and take that and just do that same shot to 500 yards. There is a good bit of drop in the interim. Now it's not like the height of my body. Well, it's not like the height of my body. It's not like 6 1⁄2 feet. It's not even that. You know, it's, well, I'm not 6 1⁄2 feet tall. The point is here, if you're shooting at a helmet-sized object, what's 100 yards zero? And when you're trying to do that holdover at 400 or 500 yards and you're even not familiar with it, well, you're probably not going to hit that target. And that goes back over to you are doing a great disservice to a gun you buy and do not take out and shoot. Bear that in mind you guys. Now if you've got a number of the same type of gun, even like as example, boy, I got three ARs and they're all just the same, but externally they might look the same. But what about your twist? Severe is that through the board. Do you have that one in nine twist or do you have even faster twist than that? We've addressed this over the years and one will sustain a better twist and accuracy with a particular size weight of both. compared to the other which will do real good with that way to bullet into its per inch. Again, we can go in a number of directions, but we're going to go to break here in just a moment. I kind of got that idea that it won't be long. So we'll be right back you guys, the intelligence report. Real spraying, chemtrails, the modified atmosphere, heavy metals and pesticides, carcinogens and chemical fibers all falling from the sky.

Thank you for your prayers. It cannot be measured the value. Before, there's many a times we would hear me say or Mark would say, I ask for a prayer in a particular direction, much like the Centurion. You don't see how all you have to do it. We started that and since we've been back, there's been about four or more dings, so I'm curious if anybody knows our listeners or want to come on board, that star six will unmute you. for the aforementioned reason. But by the time September comes around, they're ready to print another one. So they do. November 2013, Popular Mechanics. There's good drone, bad drone. It's bigger. It gets a pretty neat picture. It's to be a picture of a drone that is just in the air for about 90 minutes can deal with a 30 or 40 mile an hour wind member, which, but you know, that's an hour and a half in the air. Deal with a 40 mile an hour wind. It tells me even if it's just a 30 mile an hour wind, you guys. That tells me, well, it's at least able, when the manufacturer says deal with, I have to give them the benefit of the doubt, but I also have to run up a particular measure. If it can deal with a 30 mile an hour wind, at the very minimum, I would expect it to be able to stay in one place in a 30 mile an hour wind. I would hand launch it, and it wouldn't just in the 30 mile an hour wind, the wind would not take it from me. The next step beyond that in expectations would be if it can handle a 30 mile an hour wind, I launch it, hand launch it, launch it from the platform over there, launch it from bare, smooth, doubt prepared ground, whatever, put it into the air, gain control of it so it doesn't get blown away in the 30 mile an hour wind and then add more control to fly forward upwind if I choose to if that's what it needs to be. Now that would be impressive, a drone that can stay in the air for, did I mention this is brake, rather battery powered, it's four electric motors, so again rather impressive. A five pound drone can stay in the air for an hour and a half. It'll probably go 30 if not 40 miles an hour. So that would put it off, it's an hour and a half. You're going to look at 45 minutes cutting that hour and a half directly in half. But I would urge a rule of thumb even that is applied for divers. It is also applied to a lot of airplanes, sometimes even more so as far as proportion. But if I want to go someplace, If I'm going to fly there and fly back, I don't want half of my fuel to get me there. I want it set up so it doesn't take me any more than one third of my fuel to fly me there. On the same line, it would take another third of my fuel to fly me back. Now, that's set up in order that you deal... Remember we mentioned wind earlier? This device can deal with 30 or 40. I don't remember which mile an hour winds. Either one is respectable. But let's just do this. If it can stay in one place over in the air while it's being subject to a 40 mile an hour wind, well that tells me if that's the best it can do, that tells me that it is probably in a calm or moving downwind it could actually get going 40 miles an hour and then pound more onto that tailwind. But in a calm it could at least go 40 miles an hour. And with that, again that one third out, one third back, Then you have that bit of reserve that one-third of reserve that well if I don't fly exactly back or oh I I need to spend a little bit of time over target, and then I have to fly back well There are some pretty neat devices out there now you guys you push home And it'll come back to its controller fly around and around up there around its controller. That's pretty neat if this If the device gets so far away that you cannot discern you can't tell which way it is pointed or it gets so far away that you can't see it anymore. Now you think, oh, this violates the FCC. Oh, sure it does. One of the things you're going to want to try to do if you're looking in that direction, we've pointed out, like go to FPV on the Google FPV or do a search for first-person viewers in RC, remote control first-person viewers. some viewers, you'll see some pretty neat things there. Some of them are capable of that you can buy. I could buy right if I was a rich guy or had that kind of money. I'd like to own one of these. There's a glider out there, you guys. It will write itself. It's real easy to fly. If you get it in such a way or hold the stick in such a way that you actually turn it over, it will write itself and continue to fly along. It's almost as if it is on auto pilot. But you put influences into the controller and it will fly in that direction. If you push straight down, it will probably fly straight down into the treetops, ocean, land, whatever is there. At any rate, you've got it. You put the device in. What can run in a number of different directions, you guys, as far as if you're going to go back over to 40 miles an hour. If it can go, you guys, That capability, if it tells me 40 miles an hour and you've got an hour and a half, well, run that to thirds. What's one third of that hour and a half? If it's 40 miles an hour, if it has the range, it's got a 20 mile an hour, rather, 20 mile range. Now, going back over to that earlier mentioned device in the Chinese thing that will fly right itself, you can pay like $400 and some dollars for that. It'll have a quarter mile of range, and it's a glider. But it's a powered glider, so you can turn the device off and catch a thermal climb and stay in the air for a good long time. But if you choose to fly it like upwind or acrosswind, you're going to have to crab. Pilots know what that is. You're not going exactly the way you're pointed, but you're doing that to counter the wind. Like $1,200 for the same device, you're going to get a backpack controller. Now, this leads over to other things about, I don't know if I'd want that back controller right on my back, because, well, It's able to control that glider with a really good camera on it. That glider has one camera pointed forward. It's like 90 degrees field of view, so it sets 45 degrees down, 45 degrees up. It does not seem, if I remember rightly, it won't pan across the airframe, look up or down either. You can't change its azimuth or elevation once it's in the air. But that 90 degree with 45 degree down and up and 45 degrees in each, that's very wide. field of view. Enough that, well, you know, it's not like a helicopter where you come to a stop, so you really have to be concerned with what's exactly next to you. Because when you come to a stop in the air, sometimes you're not exactly stopping, so you might be drifting a little bit, you might drift into something next to you. With that 90 degree field of view always going forward, as an airplane does, that's a pretty good field of view. And you have reasonable field of view onto the ground in front of you. If you wanted to look at something longer on the ground before it flies out of field of view underneath, you can point the nose down if you've got enough air under you that you could point the nose down and look directly at what you were curious about for, well, I would say a moment, but a moment is like 20 seconds. So again, but with five miles of range, you could be, oh, half a mile in the air. If you are 2,000 feet up and you are plodding along at about 30 miles per hour, you could point that nose almost straight down and hold it there for a minute. Well, maybe not a minute, but you could get a good long look at what you want to get that good long look at. That broadcast, I am pretty certain, brings that image back to you on analog television channels. first became aware of this device and started talking about it on the air, you run that out at five miles and you bring that back in a populated area, you might have somebody wondering what is interfering with, again, their television, their whatever home, what's setting off home alarms in a swath across the neighborhood. It depends on what that might do. I'm not certain that the FCC, you know, the Federal Communications Commission, is going to give up rights to tell us what we can or can't do with the old television channels. See how that works? They're still viable. If you wanted, you could start a television... Well, I'm not certain if they wouldn't moan and groan about that. Start a television station on channel two in your area. But this goes back, I digress a little bit. We were talking about drones and even drones that might function five miles away. Now you're starting to talk about something that is really tactical. And if you can carry a payload that we're going to really start to talk about making that drone worth a whole lot more. If you can carry a payload that will perhaps feel vision or a piece of thermal under the device. So, you know, you guys, there's a number of different ways to go. If you're looking at drones, well, the thing about that, you'd hate to see or think that, well, this thing here that's just flying over my, it just went overhead of this position. That guy might be 20, he might be 30 or 40 miles away. Now, we're not talking about predators here. We're talking about hand launched drones, unmanned aerial vehicles that you could probably put in the trunk of your car. By the time that gets up to a mile high, well gee, it might look like an airplane if you look right at it. It's the thing when something gets so dinky that goes over to, we've talked about night vision, we'll talk about field of view and oh, that minus whatever it is that is the upright, not the upright, B, what would that be? Oh, the standard there. At any rate, a number of things could be pounded onto. When you're talking about a five pound device, I do think they mention that it carries a camera, and I do think they mention that it might be an infrared camera too. Back to that, if it's got five miles of range, you could put it a mile in the air, 5,000 feet up, and wow, if you got into a 30 mile an hour wind, you would still have enough of controlled dome. the radius that you are away from, that the device is away from the controller, to bring it back down to a different level. You know, air works in boundaries and layers and we've addressed that right to, there's a number of reasons, right down to what one would call the boundary layer effect, how air works across the ground compared to, or the things that jut up out of the ground compared to just your normal high day out there. It barely had any action, like a regular Friday in South America. Other than that, you guys, there's a whole bunch of information. I'm pretty certain you can go and get Popular Mechanics online. Just bump right into PopularMechanics.com or something. I don't see it referenced here on the cover. Sure, they want you to buy the... We would be very happy if you would buy our magazine because the printed word is becoming a... People would just run right over to that computer. Computers of printed word or whatnot hey Don Burton if we've got it. Yeah, we've got someone in the back. What do we have? Hey Don. This is a homeless survivor, man. How you doing? Okay, what you got going? Have you seen the YouTube videos of RC radio controlled? Oh a number of things yeah Yeah, have you seen that have you seen that helicopter? It's one them. You know you're talking about you know piston powered They even have one that's turbine powered, I mean it's your turbine, but it has a 10-22 mount on each side. Oh yeah, we've seen that in a number of different ways. Even the, we mentioned the jackass videos where there's a paintball. Those guys couldn't do anything that good. But I'm saying, yeah, you know, that thing there, you look at those, it's amazing. The guy really did a good job. There's a couple of them that have them on planes too. Oh yeah. Something to think about. And tanks. And tanks. Track vehicles or wheeled vehicles. Some of the wheeled vehicles can be very fast. Like quarter scale model tanks. Like Abrams and stuff for a single barrel. I mean, that's amazing. You're right. A 10-round stubby magazine in there on each side, you got some ammo there and if you could line up the optics just right for the video, you could aim and shoot with that thing. They were doing it, actually. That's what they were doing. By point of aim, he was like off. He didn't have that sophisticated in this model. That was cool, man. You take a couple of 10-22 receivers and chop them down. You get yourself some, I imagine they had a what you call a coils not coils, but relays. To touch off the firing pins, yeah. To trigger the trigger, yeah. Yeah. The firing mechanism. That would be a solenoid. A solenoid, that's the word. Yup. Start your car. No, a solenoid that would be like a for your car lock, your automatic car door lock. on or off down. Oh, but now you're talking about a device that's probably going to weigh more than five pounds now, too. Well, they're probably going to outlaw it. They're going to outlaw it now and they're going to make it so you have to have a permanent eWatch. Oh, yeah. You can't have a model airplane. And these guys build these things from scratch. I mean, they're amazingly accurate. I mean, some of these helicopters and things. I mean, they're beyond me at this time in my life. But, man, they have really incredible accuracy and detail. For the rotors and for the pitch, they actually have pitch like the actual real helicopter. They have pitch and they have... Or you can scrub it down to zero lift like adjust your collective or adjust your pitch to move sideways forward or backwards. Sure. Some really cool things are going on there. By the time you're doing that, you're up around six channels of control to make a helicopter do some really neat things. at the minimum to have an RC helicopter that will fly forward, backward, and sideways. If you can fly sideways with a remote control helicopter, that's a lot more like a real helicopter can fly instead of like a car would drive around or a toy truck. You have to turn in a direction or be pointed in that direction to go in that direction. To fly sideways you need at least four channels for your RC. But now that's something that is going to be a... that might be a single rotor or it might be a coaxial rotor also. Generally by the time you get to four channels you're most of the time going to be a single rotor instead of a coaxial rotor. Hopefully it would be a rigid rotor and able to deal more with wind. The more you hang onto it, the more you want to carry into the air, the bigger the battery you're going to want. Now this goes over, this becomes a vicious circle because well, you know, I can put a big enough battery in something that won't even lift it off the ground. But man, it'll try to lift it off the ground for half a day. So again, it goes over to how much do you want to carry versus how fast do you want to go. And I think it's just like it's spelled just like it sounds, adreno. A D R E N O A D R E I N O it might be. But you'll find a lot of information. In fact, they share a lot of information. It's what do they call that in the computer world? Open. So you can go in there and find plans for this, that or the other thing. Three rotors, four rotors, two rotors, a single rotor with a tail rotor and basically your helicopters. And that is becoming far more the a better word, the fan, a helicopter, or rather a fixed-wing device with a camera on it. Like the aforementioned thing from Ali Mao is another place to see that five mile and out that five mile controllable glider. I think go to Ali like Mohammed, Ali Mao like Mao say dung, AliMao.com and you'll see an example of the five mile glider. Which is, now you're starting to get respectable compared to if the Op Force has that 40 mile an hour device that, hey, they can fly. Fortunately, they probably wouldn't feel too bad about sending it 10 miles away and keeping it over target for a while. See how that works? Five miles away and keeping it over can target for even longer. We should get the brake in just a moment here, but you know what? I got to leave at the top. That's okay, Spike's ready to jump in and help me with the next hour. Okay, great. Again, you guys, it could run in so many different directions. We could, hey, in the moments, gas mask. It's actually down here in Michigan, middle of Michigan, about 20 cents compared to what it was in the beginning of the week. But you know what, at the beginning of the week it went up 30. So if you can afford to put five, ten, twenty gallons away, you know, it's probably not going to get much cheaper. And we are at the top. I say thank you for the help, Eddie. And a homeless guy thanks us for the call. So we'll do it like this. As always, God bless the Republic. Death to the New World Order. We shall prevail. We are, rather the empires on the run, we are on the march both day and Monday. We are the sons, yes we are the sons, the sons of Liberty. Fade the price, they're asky-borns, always fade the time of sleep. Never give up the struggle, boys fight for the Liberty Tree. It's a tall old tree and a straw. And we are the sons, yes we are the sons, the sons of Liberty. Stand for the rights of man, bang the rights of freedom, boys. Liberty Tree, it's a tall and a straw. We'll go as we go. Be a song, we'll sing with a sting to our face. Why is liberty free? It's a power. HempUSA.org urges everyone to plan ahead for possible food shortages in the future.
