Pixel the Micro-Helicopter
Flying radio controlled models in a living room, who has never been dreaming of it? What about a looping above the kitchen table, or a touch-and-go on the carpet, wanna drop some sugar in your coffee with a switch on your transmitter...?
During autumn season in 1996, some European modeler magazines started reporting about a new wave in our hobby: slow-flight. Slow-flight was another substantial shift in what could be expected as possible, much alike when quarter scale hit our existence some 15 years ago. Some very inventive people had broken all 'standard' rules, and made planes fly that weigh no more than 100 grams or so, batteries included. They called it 'slow fly', because those planes flew slower than walking speed. On a calm evening, one could now expect to go out walking with his micro Blériot, rather than just letting the dog out. I learned about the new technologies used, and found out about what I thought to be impossible till then: 3.7 gram proportional servo's, 10 gram propulsion motors, 2 gram speed regulators, 4 gram receivers, 30 gram battery packs and so on.

Mystery Thai fireballs a damp squib
Almost half a million people have flocked to witness the annual rising of fireballs from the Mekong where the river snakes between Thailand and Laos, but the phenomenon turned out to be a damp squib. A four-hour downpour from twilight on Monday put the dampers on the show for most of the crowd camped out along a 10-km (six-mile) stretch of river bank opposite the Laotian capital of Vientiane.

Happy Birthday, Mad!
What, Me 50? Mad's Half-Century Of Poking Society in the Eye
Does this mean that Alfred E. Neuman is now eligible for membership in AARP?
Like many 50-year-olds -- and I speak from personal experience here -- Mad is a bit creaky, a tad cranky, a little set in its ways. But at its best it can still lampoon the ludicrous with a hilarious, dead-on parody.
