Re: drones on calhoun
I too own a multirotor and these people are giving a bad name to the hobby. All the new quadcopters such as DJI Phantoms allow any novice to pick one up cheap and fly. The blades on any helicopter or multirotor easily have the ability to cut through a canopy or even cut lines when tension applied. I...

Re: Rochester's playground
Awesome photos! I'm defiantly hitting this place up next time I'm in town. Now I'm upset I didn't head over there instead of ride the icy snow here in Winona.

Re: Frozen pump
I used to use silicone spray, but I found it gets dirty quickly. Now I use air tool oil (the stuff used to lube air nail guns) and it performs much better. But I don't know how it holds up in the cold. I haven't had it freeze on me yet.

My personal private kite spot
I just started water kiteboarding this summer and had to find somewhere close. After searching everywhere I found one that I like. I live in Winona MN so the closest lake is Pepin, which is an hour away. My spot is located here: https://maps.google.com/maps?q=44.227119,-91.905448&hl=en&sll=4...

Re: Lake pepin conditions?
Thanks for posting Jason. I was having troubles finding that page. I joined the group. I can't believe you needed your big board. We headed up north of you to the sand bar point by Frontenac. We had consistent 25mph+ winds. I was a little overpowered on my 10m Switchblade and 146 plasma, but overall...

Re: Lake pepin conditions?
Was there really enough wind today? I was thinking of going but looking at the weather stations they hardly had 6mph average and it looked gusty.

Lake pepin conditions?
Just wondering if anyone knows the conditions of lake pepin? Is the ice safe? Is there enough snow? My buddy and I are thinking of heading up there today.
