Ok, I used to like Mythbusters, but not after I saw an episode this evening.

I like RC stuff. Doesn’t really matter what it is, and I especially like high end hardware. Well, Tori, Grant and the chick were working on some myth about a postage stamp on a rotor blade making a heli crash. First off, that’s complete bullshit. Anyway, on their scale test they got some 50 or 60 size heli with a 5 blade aluminum head. It looked brand new. They bolted it down to a table to test blade deflection with a scale stamp. Logic flaw #1: adding weight to a blade will affect lateral balance (every heli pilot knows that), and not up and down deflection (that’s relavent to blade pitch, or tracking). But I digress.

The test showed that there was no affect on tracking (duh). So what do they do to this nice piece of equipment? They bolt on some stupid amount of weight and test till failure. WTF? Did they do it to feed the idiot masses that like destruction and senseless carnage? Or are they so callous and rolling in sponsor cash that they don’t give a shit? Fucktards, the whole lot of them.

It just pisses me off to see something nice get destroyed like that. Senseless and stupid.

At least I racked up some achievements on the XboX after I turned off this waste of time show.
