    KDE Direct has added Multi-Rotor Heli motors to their lineup

    I don't have a lot of time with the KDE ESC on the KDE 475's so I'm reluctant to add much to the conversation but using the KDE 35A ESC with the KDE 475KV motors and 15" props works well with the ESC's mounted in the frame close to the battery and at the end of the arms, although on my Hex,where...

    See and Avoid

    This is a non issue. For most the floor of the NAS is 500' if sUAS is restricted below 400' where's the conflict? The odds of a helicopter and multi rotor running into each other is very low. Just because some buroecrate throws around buzz words like "see and avoid" doesn't mean that sUAS...

    How to find number of Satellites in realtime on iPhone

    Not sure about this but I believe that iPhones use cells to augment GPS and don't rely on a large number of satellites.

    FPV Camera Order: Range Video

    Sorry to hear about this. Its hard to imagine that can happen. Not sure why anyone would request a picture of her card and ID, that doesn't prove anything anyway. Sorry but I'm a bit skeptical because this is your first post, but if this is for real, hopefully someone from Range Video will...

    OK, we can't all produce "Gone with the Wind.." A friend asked if I would help him shoot the last meeting of his VW club, since my niece has a VW and was excited to join in the fun, I agreed to help, she shot the stills and we had about an hour and a half to shoot the entire thing. No point to...

    Theres something you don't wanna see on set.....

    Sorry Gary, although I quoted you it was not aimed at you, but I did get your point and I'm pointing out that Wall street has more stupid regulations that has wreaked havoc with banking and caused a lot of average investors loose a lot of money. I get it, i'm just so tired of the FAA,

    Theres something you don't wanna see on set.....

    Lets not start the class warfare crap. Federal regulators are on top of Wall Street, where do you think they get the money for the FAA to regulate that "poor" AP Pilot? Its called trickle down regulation. The issues that we're confronted with are not a white collar vs blue collar, its...

    FAA Approved MR manufacturers?

    That's a little of my point, you still have to request the waiver for every mission. Sure the longer you work with them the easier and faster it should get but this process is not likely to scale to the efficiency necessary for you to be profitable. Obviously that depends on how much you can...

    FAA Approved MR manufacturers?

    Most of this is marketing hype which certainly has the potential to add to all the confusion. There are a lot of companies claiming that "their the nation's only FAA authorized UAS inspection company," that they have an "exemption to fly unmanned aircraft for data collection in Ohio," they show...

    Representation for Commercial sUAS

    I was joking [sort of], apparently the joke is on TGIF. Do you think that drone operator showed his drone pilots license to the people at TGIF? If the FAA wants to fine anyone they should fine the news Producer who told the dumb A$$ reporter who "flinched" to "catch" the drone, the idiot that...

    XAircraft Xaircraft?

    Just to be clear, my point wasn't that support should or shouldn't be done through the forums, but that if manufacturers are going to leverage support through forums then it has to be a part of a well defined [and communicated] strategy. I don't care for DJI but I think the way they are...

    XAircraft Xaircraft?

    Thanks Anthony, forums often get caught up in the negative, Ant provided great support when I couldn't reach XAA. Thanks again. I'd just point out that confusion is often exacerbated because manufactures often rely on forums for "unofficial" support so there's an expectation that when we're...

    XAircraft Xaircraft?

    If you go to http://www.addictiverc.com/, I believe they are located in Arizona and their phone number is on the website.

    XAircraft Xaircraft?

    Actually manufactures have all the control of their reseller channel, they can cut off any distributer at a moments notice or they can add additional margin for dealers that do a good job. Often times people with all the best intentions become distributors, in the first year everything is...

    XAircraft XAIRCRAFTAMERICA.com---Do Not Buy

    lots of people have ideas and opinions about things they like but that's not what this thread is about, nor is it the end of an "era." We don't know what's happening, Drew has not been forthcoming with an explanation nor have I ever seen any feedback from XAircraft (the manufacturer) in any...
