Sakujo, I think that Asthma Warrior was sharing her wish list more than thinking in a practical nature. Ways of flying have been discussed in a lot of places on a lot of boards. Likely because it’s the #1 wish when it comes to super powers. While like you say most crime occurs at ground level it does come in handy on occasion. Like locally when the cops used a helicopter to spot Marijuana growing in the center of 1 of our local cornfields. So far the best and most practical I have come up with for flying a person is a radio controlled ultralight. For those who don’t know an ultralight is basically a hang glider with a motor. Adding the radio controls would insure a return trip after you were detached from the quick release harness on it. Still not all that satisfying from both practical and aesthetic standpoints. If I ever do figure out how to do for real the 3 steps and jump method George Reeves made popular on TV I’m sure going to give it a try. Lord knows I have the perfect outfit for it. L.O.L. If I survive it I promise to post the how to’s somewhere on the earth agent’s site, along with a video if I can make 1 and figure out how to upload it on line. But for now from both practical and aesthetic angles I recommend a radio-controlled flying model with a small camera and transmitter attached. Easily stashed in your transportation when not being used. It will give you the occasional aerial view you may need.
Now Patriot I too read and appreciate everything you put on this board and everywhere else I know about as well. As far as I know all of our regular mods / admins do as well, as part of checking out and safeguarding the sites. Like Sakujo I often lurk without commenting. Often it is because I don’t know enough about what you are talking about to make an insightful comment. Last thing we need is me spouting off about something I know nothing about. It just screws up the system. Another reason I often don’t say anything is that I want to see what others have to say first. A lot of times (maybe because many perceive me as being "In charge" of this) folks try and say what they think I want to hear. Well for the record, "I’m not so in love with my own ideas that I don’t want to hear what others have to say." I already know what I think and for me 1 of the purposes of being a part of this board or any group is to find out what others think. We are a group of widely different folks with different ideas and ways of doing things. I’m looking to tap into that as a resource in here. To me ideas and ways of doing things are like questions. The only bad ones are those that aren’t voiced for fear of censure. While not all of them (including mine) are going to be gems, how will we know till we see or hear it?
Sakujo, seeing your interest in this particular post I get the idea that you have something you consider right dandy to attach to such a switch as we think is in the force trainer. As you are among friends here I would love to hear what it might be. If you are shy about saying just what on an open board please tell me in a PM.
