RC Quadrocopter

RC quadrocopter, is the latest development in radio controlled vertical lift platforms that are able to take off vertically, hover, and fly in all directions. As the name suggests, there are 4 propellers arranged in a cross type configuration. RC Quadrocopter is also called quad rotor RC helicopter or multi-rotor.

There is no single large collective pitch rotor or tail rotor which is used  on a conventional RC helicopter. These propellers are fixed pitch, two will spin clockwise and the other two will spin counter clockwise. By precisely and accurately spinning these four propellers at different speeds, all the common directional movements of a standard helicopter are attainable - Hover, forward/backward movement, left/right movement, and yaw (turn rate) movement.

Panoramic View Taken Using IOS 6

For those who already upgraded their IOS to the latest IOS 6 will notice that there are a lot of new features being presented. Firstly, it is just a breeze to upgrade the operating system as compared to previously where the devices need to be attached to PC's  in order to do the downloading and upgrading. Now, IOS 6 can be upgraded through Wi-Fi connection only and the downloading is not very long.

One of the features of IOS 6 is the ability to take panoramic picture. I had tried taking the panoramic picture using Iphone 4s and the result is as shown in the picture above. Use the Camera application of your Iphone and then press option and select Panorama. Just follow the instruction on the screen and make sure the arrow on the screen must be kept on the centre line. The software is intelligent enough to ask you to slow down if your movement is too fast.

Safety + First

It is a well known fact why the word "SAFETY + FIRST" is written on this type of vessel. Without such a reminder, repeat of similar incident involving a tanker carrying methanol that recently exploded while berthing at Labuan, leaving one crewman dead and four missing could easily happen anytime.

During recent incident, it was believed that lightning strike started the fire while the vessel was being loaded with methanol.

Maggi: Taste Bhi Health Bhi

Found this kiosk selling several varieties of MAGGI products at the departure lounge of Chennai Airport, Tamil Nadu, India. The motto of the kiosk is "Taste Bhi Health Bhi".




The soup, noodles and beverages are reasonably priced. Noticed that all prices are in rupees. Also the Noodles varieties are Masala, Atta and Cuppamania. I am not really sure what they are since I haven't ordered noodles from the kiosk.






Large pair of spoon and fork at the corner of the kiosk.

Planet One

Planet One is one of a luxury boat anchored at the Kuching Waterfront. The boat looks very impressive with an aerodynamic body design indicating that the boat can travel very fast in the open sea.



Communication and weather monitoring system is very sophisticated with the boat of its size. TracVision is an antenna system to pick up satellite TV design for boats and yatch. I am just wondering who is the owner of the boat.
