    I'll guessing you got permission to film/fly, on the agreement that you present the Ark in a _favorable_ light. Well, BOY you did that.
    That's probably why you didn't mention the obvious...
    NO ONE is there. And the state of Kentucky, which gave it 18 MILLION in tax incentives, will CONTINUE to pay the Ark 'park' 1.8 million for the next TEN years. Based on the first year numbers, it will take FIFTY Years to pay off this 'investment'. Now, they plan to make a "PHASE II !?!" I wonder who will pay for THAT, and of course its inevitable bankruptcy? Christian or not, just stupid.
    *But hey... nice drone footage.*

  • @chriskahle5863
    @chriskahle5863 6 лет назад +6

    Dang. You didn't show the dinosaurs and humans together. Ken Ham who created the park literally believes the Flintstones is a documentary. So you flew a highly advanced drone that is based on scientific understanding and flew it over a park based on scientific ignorance.

    Love your videos Ken, not sure why you're helping to advertise this awful monument to superstition though. Built with taxpayers' money in direct violation of the first amendment; full of myths presented as fact; and portraying an event that science has demonstrated never happened.

    Glad you had fun, Ken. Ark Encounter seems lonely on a Sunday afternoon with such empty parking lots, entrance ramps, and long, wide hallways devoid of people. So it's nice that Mr. Mustache had you to talk to that day. Anyhow, since I'll probably not visit either, Ark me Ken!

    Wonder why the design needed a rudder, because with no propulsion system, or even oars, the ark was not moving in any direction and thus didn't need to be steered. In fact, that makes it difficult to tell which is port and starboard.

    At 05:01 you are probably thinking of the Trestle Project at Kirtland AFB near Albuquerque NM. This "trestle" is a bridge to nowhere, actually an all wood platform over an artificial valley. It is also called the World's largest example of Civil War era railroad trestle design. The project's purpose was to support huge AF planes in mid-air on a non-conductive platform and expose the planes to high-level electronic pulses (like you might get from a nuclear explosion). I helped build it circa 1974. It would make a great video subject, but I doubt the AF would let you fly the area.
    BTW, another great video; you have a keen eye for lighting and perspective.

    But do you have any videos about things that you recommend to do to practice flying a drone like exercises and techniques?

    Another great video report Mr. Ken. When you do things like this you always have great facts and interesting points.

Do you have any suggestions on how/ where to get that information which doesn't pop up on the 1st page of Google?

    @muzikmon2267 6 лет назад

    I have a question for you and I'm asking you here because it's your newest video so you probably respond quicker..
    I see how you compass calibrate your drone I don't understand why you do it that way.. talking to DJI and in the instructions they told me I'm not supposed to go in a circle the way that you're doing it in your videos.. they said you're supposed to hold the Drone in one place and spin it with your hands.
    What makes you do it the way that you do it? is there something I'm missing? I noticed your friend does the same thing too..
    I'm just very curious?

    • @kenheron
      @kenheron  6 лет назад

      I do it that way because it's easier and faster. I haven't had any problems with compasses in over 4 years doing it that way. I'm sure it's fine either way.
      Just makes me a bit dizzy!
