Roland Rock Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Ok, so it's early and I can't sleep, bizarre thoughts are swimming around in my head, so here's an entirely non-serious question. Bass gear can be heavy and awkward to carry. Remote control helicopters seem to be ten a penny these days. Is there a remote control helicopter on the market which could lift, say, a 20lb head? Imagine just walking behind your airlifted rig, guiding it across the carpark into the venue and setting it down neatly on the cab, then landing it on your Gramma Pad (modified with a spray-painted H) You can have that one for free.

anDy LAKIN Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) would a radio controlled car/transporter not be easier, like a mini optimus prime pulling the cab and equipment along or even a customised pallet loader Edited January 17, 2015 by andy159 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anDy LAKIN Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 and another random though slightly related, do really fat people need bigger coffins and bigger graves or do thet just get squeezed into normal size ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Apparently they burn hotter when cremated. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2154897/Dead-obese-woman-body-fat-set-building-cremation.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si600 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 The problem I see with the pallet loader is getting the kit out of the car means manual intervention and what happens if there are stairs up into the venue. I think helicopters are definitely the way forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
