    Sony a7rii yuneec tornado h920

    Which drone for Real Estate?

    The Yuneec 4K will work just fine but it has the same "issue" all drones have when it goes up. The lens viewing angle is much too wide. R.E. agents do not want to show the entire neighborhood, or the property next door. They want the one, and only one property or structure. Lenses can be...

    Thunderpower part needed

    Long time getting back to this but Hitec markets a balance board that provides connectors for many different connector types and provides balance taps for 2S to 6S batteries. About $20.00 at better hobby shops.

    Recreational Use in a No Fly Zone - HELP!!!

    Unfortunately you failed to perform your "due diligence" prior to purchasing the product. You might not even be in a legitimate "no fly zone" but DJI elected to design software that prohibited flight in many areas where such prohibitions are not actually present, and require constant...

    Yuneec Breeze

    Haven't been over here in awhile. Nice to see a thread getting started with Yuneec products. Been flying a couple of H's since they came out. Nice aircraft.

    Thunderpower part needed

    Doesn't have to be Thunderpower. There are lots of different versions of this on Amazon, Tower Hobbies, or any of the FPV outfits.

    Survey / Mapping / Inspection / Post Processing Hourly Rate

    I did read your previous from top to bottom and the rates that were reflected indicated the fee structure was significantly lower than most professional level hourly rates. Where site flying/inspection has a two person crew going for less than a single person operation suggests something isn't...

    Survey / Mapping / Inspection / Post Processing Hourly Rate

    I have trouble understanding how a group of "civil engineers" are having trouble establishing their value. It's pretty easy to determine what your hourly rate would be as an independent contractor and add to that for services additional to your engineering specialty. Sent from my iPhone using...
