Learn your fucking lines, or ad-lib it, or buy a longer lens to make it less horribly obvious that you're reading from a sheet. Looking slightly off-axis from the lens like that makes him look completely dead-eyed, which along with his crushingly low charisma and wooden delivery makes him seem like an eerily realistic automaton rather than an actual human being.
And yes, get some bloody sleeves.

I thought you might have been talking about this - with a bit of SW controlled scanning it looks like it's possible to get decent results.

there is plenty of evidence of a historical 'intense airborne heat event' near that area if you check out some Egyptian statues, which clearly show melted exteriors and damage consistent with that sort of thing.

Incidentally, the songbird ID apps I've seen in use are mediocre at best at identifying songs. The main problem seems to be that they use AI that is trained on heavily US-centric datasets, and don't seem to take into account location (theoretically easy), or terrain (harder for an app).
I have a mate who uses one when walking his dog and regularly get asked whether it's possible that there's e.g. a Northern Mockingbird in woodland round the back of Brighton (vanishingly unlikely).

Your phone microphone is not stereo. It's a single mic.
With one mic you can only measure amplitude. To determine a direction you'd need to measure the phase difference between two (or more) mics.

Also the wider your ears/mics the lower the frequencies you can determine the direction of. We find it hard to determine the direction of bass because the wavelength is greater than the ear to ear distance. Elephants and whales could locate a tb303 with pinpoint accuracy.

The centre of mass needs to be at the tip of the nose to compensate for the centre of lift (really the centre of drag in this case) being positioned so far forward. I guess the engines on the real thing weighed a tonne.
I think for this to work you need to increase the thrust to weight ratio enough that it could take off vertically. Maybe even using gimbling rotors, if they are a thing.
In lieu of a wind tunnel, a thread, attached to a pin stuck to the ceiling, attached to the aircraft (I guess at its centre of mass), would let you do a more controlled flight test, albeit round and round in circles.

i will be starting the 1/24 build next week, this one will have brushless 6500kv motors and enough space to put all the electronics and battery in the nose. Servos for ailerons, flaps etc will easily fit into the wings.

(Too high, FFS) They have to go very fast to generate power (e.g. 11.1 v x 6500 = 72,000 rpm), you need lower kv with a wider diameter if you are going brushless, so they generate the torque needed to effectively drive some suitably matched props. High kv are for small quadcopters.

'more power, make brick fly' is about right. The way I see it you're dragging a plane shaped brick behind your engines. I'm not sure how useful the flaps could be, especially at slow speeds, hence my preference for thrust vectoring.
(, Mon 27 Sep 2021, 19:18, Reply)
As is being said above, I always err on the side of being nose heavy. You're much more likely to be able to recover a plane going nose down at 45 degrees over one that's just done a backflip.
But then I only know this from Kerbal, so real-world applications may vary.

Didn’t see the first clown for about a half-hour. Horn-honker. 13-footer. You know how you know that in the water, Chief? You can tell by lookin’ from the wig to the shoes. What we didn’t know, was that our bomb mission was so secret, no distress signal had been sent. They didn’t even list us overdue for a week. Very first light, Chief, clowns come cruisin’ by, so we formed ourselves into tight groups. It was sorta like you see in the calendars, you know the infantry squares in the old calendars like the Battle of Waterloo and the idea was the clown come to the nearest man, that man he starts poundin’ and hollerin’ and sometimes that clown he go away… but sometimes he wouldn’t go away.
Sometimes that clown looks right at ya. Right into your eyes. And the thing about a clown is he’s got lifeless eyes. Black eyes. Like a doll’s eyes. When he comes at ya, he doesn’t even seem to be livin’… ’til he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white and then… ah then you hear that terrible high-pitched screamin’. The ocean turns red, and despite all your poundin’ and your hollerin’ those clowns come in and… they tickle you to pieces.
