So my Wisdom Teeth surgury went very well, I could even say it was a good experience! They had me on IV sedation which basically made me feel really sleepy and relaxed through the whole thing. What felt like 5 minutes was actually an hour and a half, and eight needles! I'm still swollen and my teeth hurt a bit but not as much as I originally expected.
In the mean time I've been working on small projects. I built and painted two plastic models, and today I built the hovercraft kit you see in the picture. I've had it for a long time and never got around to building it.
The assembly was obviously easy, but when I turned it on, the thing barely moved, with the back end scraping on the ground. The 4 fresh AAA batteries I had installed just didnt provide enough power.
Solution? Stick a 9V in there. Man did it fly, even over carpet which suprised me for a kit of this type.

As you could imagine though, the motor with the AAA's demanded a lot of current, and with the 9V, it sucks it like no tomorrow. Between the low resistance of the motor and the gradually increasing heat of all components, I'd say you could run this thing for 10, maybe 15 minutes before it would not have enough power. And 9V batterys are expensive!
That's all for today. Ill get back into my other projects soon.
