The Rush Room is a Tardis with a Holodeck!
It’s been a busy month around here! My office has moved to its new location. It’s almost 3x the size as the old place, and this opens up a world of possibilities. Think Dr. Who and toss in some Star Trek. The Rush Room is not only larger, it’s now bigger on the inside! Confused?

A little over three months ago I joined a weight loss challenge. The goal was to lose the biggest percentage of body weight. While there were only two of us participating in the event I still took it seriously. A side bet ($100 to the winner) was an added incentive.

My Wednesday morning started out like any typical day, then I received a Facebook IM which made me stop and smile. I should preface this by saying Jimbo and I have never met, nor have we ever spoken before.
Read More →Diet Day 62 of 90
We missed our ‘official’ weigh in last week as our judge was out of town. Checking in regardless, because now we have less than 30 days to go on the diet challenge! The bad news, I’ve only exercised five days since the last check in (about 20 days ago). The good news, I still lost weight. […]

JBabes (my sponsor, and better half) calls my office The Drone Room. Hmm… Well, that’s not happening. How about just Drone Room? Okay, guess I’ll stick with The Rush Room. Did you know you can get to this website by going to either www.KDRush.com OR www.TheRushRoom.com? In fact, you don’t even need to type the […]
Read More →The FPV Rollercoaster – Karearea Drone Build
The Karearea (pronounced) drone design is a bit radical, at least compared to the current FPV market. It has wings. Is that a good thing? I’d love to find out, but my build ran into a problem before it ever really started.

ET100 Drone Review
The ET100 from LDARC you see me fly in the video below was purchased four months ago (12/2017), and during this time I’ve crashed it more times than I can count.
Read More →Armattan Chameleon 5″
The Armattan Chameleon 5″ was the first quad I flew that felt more like a bird than a brick in the air. The design was a game changer at the time, and it was undeniably gorgeous. When I look at it now all I see are the hassles I’ve had in rebuilding it. More on that […]
Read More →REVIEW: Onslaught: The Repulse Chronicles, Book One
One of my favorite indie authors, Chris James, blends science fiction and history in this futuristic prelude to a world war. The story works on many levels, from a political/military drama to a wondrous blend of technology that many sci-fi lovers will no doubt enjoy. Onslaught: The Repulse Chronicles, Book One captures the imagination and […]

Oh, Hail – The Story
[Scene] When I first heard the noise it reminded me of tree branches scraping the roof. Which worried me. We don’t have trees close enough to scrape the roof.

This thing is a blast to fly! I only had three batteries for it, and I can tell you that wasn’t enough. It has WAY too much power to fly inside, but this little guy is a real hawk outdoors. It’s as nimble as you would expect without being ‘floaty’.

This is the quad I intended on building at Kwad Camp, but I got sick four hours into the first day and ended up back in the hotel room for the next two days. The flu this year is the worst I’ve experienced in a long time. I finally put this quad together last […]

This is the first ‘small’ drone I’ve actually liked. It’s not as small as the Tiny Whoop, but it can do acro better. -Rush

I took the Chameleon out for the second time after adjusting the rates and the hang time on this drone kept throwing me off. I’m so used to drones falling fast and hard when I let off the throttle, but I swear this thing seemed to have wings. Sadly, I must have clipped one of […]

Regrets
REGRETS (1,920 words) The reporter pulled out her tape recorder and, with practiced precision, used her thumb to flick it on and adjust the volume. Terrence listened to the sound of his voice being played back. “…he knew I wasn’t going to let him live. That’s when he really started to struggle. But I knew […]

Drone Flight of the Year
Paul Nurkkala is a drone pilot with nerves of steele. His confidence shows in the way he flies, and if you watch a couple of his videos you’ll understand why he’s one of the top drone pilots in the world. He is a champion racer and has won multiple events, but that’s probably not what […]

Johnny Schaer (Johnny FPV) is one of the top drone pilots in the world. He may not be the first to do a particular trick, but he damn sure does it with style. He calls the style, “juicy”. I call it amazing.
