Interesting, had no idea they had RC variable pitch props, or did he custom make it I wonder.

Never could understand the impulse to jump out of a perfectly functioning RC airplane.

Tareq Alsaadi breaks reality again with his helicopter
I see these videos and wonder why this hasn't been in a "mission impossible" or "Ocean's 16" type movie...then I realize it's because it looks like badly done, totally unrealistic effects, no one would ever believe a human or RC helicopter could do that without seeing it in person.

I don't recall David and Goliath. (As cartoons)
Wait....do you mean Davey and Goliath, the basis for Moral Orel? Somebody actually watched that?!
I have tons of Speed Racer stuff....shirts, rc mach 5, die cast models, etc. The movie was a big disappointment and a treat at the same time. I actually used Speed Racer clips in a public speaking presentation describing how cartoons mirrored the evolution of cultural norms from the 50's to 90's.
I never liked Clutch Cargo much, but I knew it. Kind of a poor man's Johnny Quest.
I remember 1,4,5,6. Always sang the Speed Racer song when it came on.

If there is one thing I have learned from cinematography, NEVER believe the lighting condition! it is insane how many night scenes are shot in the day and color corrected to night in the final.
I think the cgi-ness is our brains trying to associate what we see with what we have seen in the past. This vehical seems to be;
a) Super light weight hollow body
b) DC motor driven
c) all electric
It is literally a big boy version of modern RC helicopters which also exhibit weird looking physics because the motor totally overpowers the mass of the body.
Obviously most of the footage is of the only way this vehicle can hover, on its back. Being all electric and light, the flight time is likely only minutes.
We have seen many vehicles like this, the only puzzle piece no one is solving is a sustained source of power.
Not just you. Also looks like a prototype being lifted by a crane in some shots. The propellers look too small to lift that mass.
I was also suspicious that they had so much footage under various lighting conditions. The twilight shots especially, which are dangerous conditions to fly under. Could be we're wrong, and just be artful CG for the sake of a fundraising video?

"On or about December 29, 2016, FLYNN called a senior official of the Presidential Transition Team ("PTT official"), who was with other senior ·members of the Presidential Transition Team at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, to discuss what, if anything, to communicate to the Russian Ambassador about the U.S. Sanctions. On that call, FLYNN and 2 Case 1:17-cr-00232-RC Document 4 Filed 12/01/17 Page 2 of 6 the PTT official discussed the U.S. Sanctions, including the potential impact of those sanctions on the incoming administration's foreign policy goals. The PIT official and FLYNN also discussed that the members of the Presidential Transition Team at Mar-a-Lago did not want Russia to escalate the situation. "
^The Trump campaign knew about him breaking the law conducting affairs with a foreign adversary but still kept him in the White House until it was clear he was going to be indited.
Also, Flynn and Kushner (again this is prior to swearing in, aka illegal) https://www.wsj.com/articles/flynn-promoted-nuclear-plant-project-while-in-white-house-1505328226

I can go through the rest, but see for yourself
https://www.justice.gov/sco
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^All the indictments hosted on the justice department's website.
I could go through all of them like I did Flynn above, but thankfully, people are already compiling a list of contacts and the denials associated with said contacts: https://cdn.themoscowproject.org/content/uploads/2018/06/14110352/MoscowProject-TrumpContacts-0618.pdf
---------------

And last but not least, those denials about contact that were made to the investigators arguably constitute obstruction of justice, the thing Nixon and Bill Clinton were impeached for.
Here's a quote from Nixon's first article of impeachment:
"The means used to implement this course of conduct or plan included one or more of the following:
making false or misleading statements to lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States;
withholding relevant and material evidence or information from lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States;
approving, condoning, acquiescing in, and counselling witnesses with respect to the giving of false or misleading statements to lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States and false or misleading testimony in duly instituted judicial and congressional proceedings;
interfering or endeavouring to interfere with the conduct of investigations by the Department of Justice of the United States, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the office of Watergate Special Prosecution Force, and Congressional Committees;"
http://watergate.info/impeachment/articles-of-impeachment
Honestly now, has Trump made any false or misleading statements about his team's contact with Russia? Has he withheld any relevant evidence?
Did he endevor to interfere with the conduct of an investigation?

So did he collude with Russia? who cares, no one is being charged or investigated with collusion.
Did he obstruct justice by misleading any US official or interefere with said investigation? That's debateable, and we'll have to see all that Meuller is going to put in the public record before anyone can make a clear decision. But it sure as hell looks bad, and it's very much NOT "Still no crime Still ZERO ZIP NADA"
If you look at the timeline for Nixon or Bill Clinton's impeachment, a lot of staffers (human shields) went down before the investigators got to the top.

So what is the connection with Trump?
Mueller has caught up some folks for past deeds, which is good. What connections are there with the election?
