    An Argument for RTF

    Nice testimonial. But keep in mind that that everyone does not have several thousands of dollars to invest in an MC. Some of us have to go a less-expensive route. And with regards to your somewhat arrogant quote above, what's this...

    Licenses to shoot commercial AP and AV in the US?

    Disagree. The answer is out there; people just don't like it. Everyone wants to find a loophole or some interpretation that will allow them to market their aerial pictures or video. The rules are the rules, and discussing them to death won't change them. It's not complicated at all; you just...

    Here's a link to a pretty good summary to the FAA rules: http://www.suasnews.com/uas-regulations/ Just scroll down to "USA." Jack

    Storing Lipos at full charge warning??

    Wonder why. I've been storing my lips fully charged for years. Haven't seen any adverse effects. Maybe a TP-thing. Jack

    Raw aerial at an event rehearsal

    Sean, In browsing your list of threads and reading through a few things become apparent to me… You did very little research prior to jumping into this hobby. You want the benefits of doing AP without taking the time or effort to learn properly. You want instant gratification and are not...

    Raw aerial at an event rehearsal

    With people and horses in a covered arena, I'd sure be careful. This has the potential to get ugly. Good luck. Jack

    All up weight configuration and mounting location

    That's a good question. I have no idea what parameter you would modify by simply changing the weight of the MC. Changing the X, Y or Z parameters on the Mounting screen could be necessary if you changed the CG, but that's not AUW. Based on the poor language used in the manual, I would not be...

    Couple Newbie Questions / Observations from my DJI F550

    Dale, I have read all the posts including #24 where you stated, "Because of the overtightened cable tie it had caused the plate to short on one of the board components - but only occasionally and randomly!!" As I nay have a similar problem, I'm just curious how you determined the bent ESC...

    Couple Newbie Questions / Observations from my DJI F550

    You may have just solved a similar problem I'm having. How did you verify that the ESC was shorting, or did you just assume because the problem want away after removing the cable tie? Jack

    AP Hexacopter - advice needed

    Couple key questions: Have you flown R/C and/or MCs before? Is there some reason you want to start with a hexa? If the answer to #1 is No/No or Yes/No, I'd suggest getting something like an F450 and learn to fly a MC before you worry about hanging a camera on it. Besides at some point, you...
