    FAA Cancels Model Aircraft Standards Of Operations

    LOL, Not a problem. I've been disagreed with many times and probably wrong just as many but those are my thoughts. Pardon my skepticism concerning someone who wants to take on the machine but I have contributed to enough Don Quixote's to fund half my retirement and got very little out of it...

    FAA Cancels Model Aircraft Standards Of Operations

    People who are filming for money, and I don't mean a $50 real Estate snap shot, have professional photographer/videographer organizations who can fight for them. They are expensive to join and unless you are making real money they probably won't give you the time of day. I firmly believe that...

    FAA Cancels Model Aircraft Standards Of Operations

    Of course this takes money and lots of it. What are the unique qualifications you have to be an organizer of the magnitude needed to take on a federal bureaucracy? People posting in a blog are not likely to be enough. Personally, I believe someone with the background of J. Edgar Hoover, who...

    FAA Cancels Model Aircraft Standards Of Operations

    You are not incorrect. We have become as corrupt as any 3rd world country and have no one to blame but our own greedy selves since we started voting in politicians who valued dollars more than people. Especially those who bought votes to get in power in the name of doing it "for the people"...

    Old Man, (I am one too), we may agree on many things but I have to disagree with your viewpoint concerning the AMA. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. They have organization and they already have lobbyist in places we can't get to without spending 10's of thousand or more. What we need to...

    And here I was thinking that those who fly for hire may want to band with us since they seem to forget their own humble beginnings. If we all work together and set aside our personal preferences for the common good we may have a stronger voice. Also elections are here. If you have a Congressmen...

    Ultimate GoPro platform?

    It's a really well built frame and I like it. It's been far too hot for me to go play in the sun but with cooler weather coming I hope to get some nice beach and inland videos. I must admit, I was given the motors and esc's by someone who bought them and had no idea what they were buying. They...

    Testing RTH on Assistant ??

    If you test it in flight by turning off the radio, you may have to wait too long for the radio to start fully and will not have the option of regaining control in the event that it does not work. Testing it on the assistant and NEVER turning off the radio is the very best policy. My Spektrum...

    Paparazzi are going to ruin our Hobby/Work for us.

    How about Israel's Iron Dome? It seems to work OK. While they are entitled to a certain amount of privacy, going to the bathroom, having sex with a stranger, or giving birth, they have chosen to be celebrities and are darn well compensated for it. many worth millions for acting or singing. It's...

    I'm not a wealthy man but, after having similar experiences with some Chinese companies, I basically consider anything I buy from them to be, sad to say, disposable. :upset:
