Background Earlier this year I noticed something interesting. XAircraft had a new US distributor and was releasing new products. If you were just bitten by the multirotor bug during the last year or so, the name XAircraft might be a new one to you, but they have been around for a number of...

It looks like you are getting some good range there for 5.8! How are you supplying power to your video transmitter?

You can call it what ever you want, but I can 100% guarantee that if the media or a politician talks about it, it's going to be called a drone. When the laws are written, it's going to be called a drone. When you are approached by the police, they aren't going to ask you about your multirotor...

The biggest impact you can have is to show how this technology has many, many uses that can save lives, money and create jobs. I always find that I get the most traction when I point out how the US is falling behind the rest of the world in a technology that is going to be a big part of our...

This is an attempt to get new members of the AMA and fight the image that they don't care for FPV or MRs. They have been making the rounds on all the big events lately with this same pitch.

I love this argument. It never gets old. ;-) For what it's worth, everyone says how dangerous Trappy & crew are being, but have there been any incidents? They have flown hundreds of flights, yet no incidents, so if anything, I'd say the experience argues the exact opposite of most people's...

Full frame. That's pretty sweet. The price will drop on that soon, I'm sure. BTW Yuri, I'm on a plane headed your way right now. I'll drop you a line this week and see if we can link up. -Terry

Wow, thanks for the feedback everyone. We searched and searched trying to figure out if anyone else had done something like this, but wasn't able to find anything. I'm glad you guys pointed it out. Looks like we were the first in the US though? Am I correct in that statement? It looks like...

This sucks. Sorry to read about it, Dave. To be honest, I don't see things changing with that company anytime soon. It seems they are focusing all their efforts on the Phantom demographic. I saw Collin at a conference this weekend, and the new generation of the Phantom was his main talking...

Wow, this board is amazing. That is for the support, everyone! We have always focused on stills over video, so the idea of a book just felt like a natural progression. We are happy to see people who are interested in the idea as we are.

Thanks, Andrew! I appreciate the support. -Terry

Hey Gang, Some of you know about it, but I wanted to post about a project we have been working on for the better part of 2013. We took a long hard look at our body of photography work, and organized it into our first book. We picked the subject of Baltimore for the first one, so we had to leave...

Thanks! My wife and I are actually speaking at a conference at NYU this weekend, and I'm sure the topic of regulations will come up. I'm on top of the state of things here in the US, but I wanted to reference how things are being done in the UK as a example of how the US might move forward...

Hello. McFly?

What's that weigh in at, Treg?

Hey gang, I wanted to ask you lot about existing UAV regulations outside of the US. I know that the UK has a full system in place, as do a few other countries, but I don't know many of the details about how they work. I'm interested in a high level overview of what steps you have to take to...

I say this with all due respect, but if the 550 is too rich for you, consider another hobby. 3 years ago I thought I could build my first tricopter by investing a weekend of time and a few hundred bucks. Since then, I don't even want to know how many thousands upon thousands of dollars I've...

I make it a point to never read the comments section of any public news site. It hurts my brain to see how stupid people are these days.
