This Channel focuses 100% on the Apprentice 15E S. I got into RC flying in May 2015 and taught myself with the Apprentice.
I share things I have learned about modifying the Apprentice and RC flying as a newbie.
[Some of my flying knowledge comes from 40 years flying first airplanes then hang gliders and then ultralights. About 50% of the time on floats.]]

I see people are still comment I on this video. I learned this trick back in the early 1990s from P. Allen Smith on PBS station. 1 oz of Dawn and Tbl spoon of concentrated lemon juice in a hose attachment sprayer. The Dawn won't let them land on water, like you said, and the lemon juice let's the grass breath. Where I lived at the time, my neighborhood was next to a Creek. I would come home to a yard full of kid and they would say "your yard is the only one without mosquitoes". I would usually repeat the spraying after a rain to keep it mosquito free. I still practice this, to this day .
It doesn't have to be dawn, any dish detergent will work. and it works well. you can even put out a bucket of soapy water in the shade somewhere and mosquitoes will flock to it and drown.
You should use a little Dawn on your garage floor bro.
how many oz of Dawn per 1 gallon of water?
So I can’t water the lawn for 10 days?
Thanks, esp for all the text at the end about rudder authority at speed.

Any dish soap works
Dawn of the Dead
same two "laureths" in shampoo
Yeah I really feel like doing this every day, I will stick to my mosquitos torches.
Dawn = ,
What quantity is needed? How frequently we will need to re-spray over the pond?
The problem iis that it does get the job done but its the fact that to lay eggs the female still will come looking for it. Then it looks for the barrel with the Dawn. It means the mosquito has bitten .
spray dawn and water on a mosquito watch how fast they die. LOL anyone who says otherwise either hasnt tried it or is lying to you. It takes max 30 seconds. This guy semms like a smart guy and all but the fact he claims it doesnt kill mosquitos is very interesting. I suggest you try it tonight and update your video when you see how fast dawn kills a mosquito! other than that nice video!
Its not just dawn its all detergent
Dawn also is a contact killer of any beetle. I Spray on Japanese beetles all the time.
Very informative and well explained video. Great job!
Second comment - Just as with fruitflies, when the mosquitos go to land on the water, theyll sink straight to the bottom. This is how/why it works
I had this hypothesis for a while but (as Im about to impliment) it's neat to see it confirmed. My thinking was that since feuit flies are treated with a similar technique, it should work with mosquitos. I'll be adding a squirt of dawn to the rain sewer drains that wont drain and crossing my fingers
Ive never found a bug that dawn doesn't kill. They don't die immediately but they don't live long. I used it when my house was covered with thousands of stink bugs. I sprayed them all and when i came back a little while later they were all piled up around the house dead.
this won't kill my lawn? Thank you
Mosquitos use standing water in ponds, marshes, puddles, tires, buckets, etc... to lay and hatch their eggs into nymphs that later turn into mosquitos. Spraying Dawn on your lawn will kill the grass, but putting a few drops in buckets of water around your property to encourage female mosquitos to lay eggs and drown in those buckets is the right approach. Spraying your lawn is the oddest suggestion I've come across.
It’s actually polarity not surface tension that prevents water from mixing with oil
For those of you who are interested. Soap breaks down water particles. In layman terms for example: it takes a drop of water and turns it into hundreds of finer water particles. Like crushing a grain of salt into finer granules. That's what soap does to water. The irony of soap is that it doesn't actually clean. It's the water that cleans because it has been broken down so small it can get under and through the crud that is there. You might say it's a water thinner, and that is how it works.
Soap DOES react with grime and grease to make something that is soluble in water. If your theory were correct, then we could have used the same soap again and again several times.
@@user-hs3rp6ri4x It's not a theory, it's fact. Years ago I watched a program that showed the molecular level of water before and after the implementation of soap, and they showed that soap doesn't actually clean as we have been lead to believe. But what it does is break water down enough that it can penetrate and go through and under objects like dirt and grime which allows the water to do the cleaning. I told my co workers about it the next day, and they suggested I "get a life" and not watch programs on soap and how it works. Yet here it is many years later, and I still haven't forgot. It's not a theory.
@@antichrist_revealed rubbing alchohol is what i use to clean and wash my hands with, i dont trust soap lol
Your method stinks.
Great insight, unfortunately our houses are so close together, every neighbor would have to do same thing.
But problem is all around others need to do this too
Carefull you don't want to start a fire in the sun either not good for dry dead grass. Waterdroplets create a magnifying glass.
It breaks surface tension and they drown.
. . . wait, I can put this in a water gun, too? LOL.
I'm gonna screw up some Mosquitos at high noon tomorrow.
does this work on noseeums??????????
I put dawn in my waterfalls, and this is July 8, and I have no mosquitos.
It's funny when city people pretend to know things
Sulfates are harmful to the environment What does this do to all the other bugs like bees etc
Bug whacker time with fine mesh.
And buy DUNKS. Mosquito rings you float in standing water.
Every dish soap or regular soap does the same thing with the surface tension of water. I still can't understand why Dawn is so special?
Thats why I cover myself in dawn every time I go outside. That way they can sting me but they sure as hell arent laying any eggs.
What if I don’t have a lawn….
you have 1.35 k subscribers and NONE OF THEM have suggested you get a professional mic...or at LEAST one that my 9 year old daughter doesn't have??? OMG, c'mon man, you got viewers who want to hear you. LET THEM HEAR YOU!!! (my consulting fee is 1/2 of what you bring in for the next 6 months, of only the NEW subscribers. Of course, only when you get the new mic. Need me to buy it?)
What about all of the mosquitos coming over from your neighbors unsprayed lawn. You think mosquitos just stay in one yard? Especially if you have a "party" of people breathing out C02 (which attracts mosquitos).
Ajax dishwashing liquid cuts my roach problem way down. But I think they just don't like walking on it. I just spread it all over the kitchen undiluted and redo it every couple of weeks. It's way better than spraying poison all over the place. I keep some diluted in a spray bottle and get the strays that ocassionaly show up. It slows them down so they're easy to squish.
Brevard county used to use Marvel's mystery oil vaporized at the back of a truck until people found out that they're using Marvel's mystery oil vaporized out the back of a truck driving up and down every road
I put a couple drops of Dawn in a white pan of water then hang a light bulb about 6” above the water. It catches fleas, knats and other insects that get in the house. Same surface tension theory drowns anything that touches the water.
Most any dish detergent will work, not just Dawn. All dish detergents alter the surface tension of water. If your neighbors do not treat for mosquitoes, you will still have them.
I solve my mosquito problem with bifenthrin.
The mosquitos got me at dawn.
Today is June 29,2023. Dawn just went full blown woke with a pride month advertisement in my local area. Sorry, you just got added to the ever expanding boycott list!
Boo hoo
