Beautiful So Called Dollar!
Upgraded my AR Drone 2.0 with fibre carbon blades and gear bumpers. This drone has taken flight in Hawai’i. Originally purchase for fun, but later became a Engineering class teaching project. It has buzzed over the heads of future engineers…
As for the doubled Kamehameha, I purchased this from a dealer. Star without rays with doubled right arm…Nice addition to my no date so called dollar collection…
Now the meal as prepared by my wifey…
