Wikipedia is some fascinating ****. You go there to look up dome details on the MADI audio spec, and an hour and a half later, you're reading about precision guided munitions of WWII.
Did you know that smart bombs aren't a recent innovation? Both the US and Germany actively deployed several variants during the later years of the war. Some were infrared-seeking, some were active radar-homing, others were remote controlled by the bombardier after release, and a few development models of the latter actually provided realtime TV feedback to the operator.
And they did all this **** without DSPs, without microprocessors, without any solid-state electronics of any kind.

Ive been thinking about this for a while, but I dont know what to make the final product out of. Could do sheet metal, but I have nothing to cut it with. Thought about some type of resin on the cardboard, but it will look like ****.











Bout to go harbor freight and get some cardboard boxes so I can mock up some **** for my radiator. Temps are too ****** high!
