    Yea I had no issues. There was a story on this a while back. I think the initial idea was real, but it got squashed by the local govt. Personally I think the idea had "bad" written all over it.

    Hoverfly Firmware Updates

    Just saw this thread, and it may have saved me from pulling my hair out. I was stupid and just flashed to the latest R3 Rom last night and tried to maiden a medium lift Hex today, and it was doing WEIRD things. i triple checked everything and was about to get a baseball bat out to "fix" the...

    Hoverfly Power filter released the magic smoke.

    It's on a 3S, And I too have one green board with the filter that is fine with tons of flights. This was a second green HFP board and a brand new filter. I have the opposite of good luck usually so I probably just got a bad filter. I'm actually glad it happened in the shop and not in the air!

    Hoverfly Power filter released the magic smoke.

    Hey guys, So I was changing my Y6 from a HF Sport to a Pro board last night and had everything mounted up and ready to go. I was starting to check motor spin and such and plugged in my battery for around the 10th time in 5 minutes and BAM magic smoke. I was totally worried it was the HF Pro...

    Time Magazine - Rise of the Drones

    This past weekend as I covered eFest for FG and RCG I spoke to Dave Mathewson and Bob Brown from the AMA, and they basically said that the 3 years worth of work they have done with the FAA has been side stepped by the individual states government. And Bob said "Sleepy, i know how much you have...

    Ohhh man.. I just saw what you did with the building board. You made it so you bolt down the bottom plate which in turn holds the boom block bolts in place so you can work without everything constantly falling all over the place. That is a great idea. OK.. that's three "DUH, why is this the...

    Sounds awesome. Can't wait to see some pics! I'm in Illinois covering eFest, but I'd rather be playing with/building Heli's! (I did bring my lil guy to at least get some aerial shots of eFEST)

    Hope you are not in Charlottesville - Drone ban

    This is getting scary. What about a little regulation. I'd be happy to get a license, or register my rigs as I only intend to do legal things. Or, well I mean, what SHOULD be legal things.

    Own a "drone" in Oregon? - Go to jail - Senate bill 71

    See I'm so conflicted about all of this. Part of me wishes there was licensing and regulations in place so those of us who are not morons could do our thing. But then, these regulations would need to be precise. It's almost like the gun control deal. I'm a responsible Multirotor owner. I'm fine...

    Yea dumb on all accounts. And it's *** pipes like that, that will cause our machines to be banned someday. This infuriates me. It's just as dumb as some of the FPV guys doing dangerous and stupid things.
