    XAircraft SuperX Orientation

    This has been debated to death but I've been flying long enough that I don't NEED IOC but it can make single pilot AP a lot easier. Nevertheless the SuperX is so much better than anything DJI has even with IOC.

    Editing Software ??

    I don't use FCPX but if I did that link to Izzy's Tutorials is a great find. Thanks for sharing.

    Looking for a inexpensive Gopro Gimbal. Suggestions?

    The Stella gimbal. http://xaircraftamerica.com/products/stella-2-axis-brushless-gimbal I've had the Stella for about six months, for me it was literally plug-n-play, no tuning, no setup, just mounted and plugged it in and it works really well. This is a video where I was testing flying to a...

    Tethered MR Flights - does anyone use this technique

    Can you guys beat each other up elsewhere? Despite opinions regarding safety Tethering is a way to circumnavigate potential FAA restrictions, however I checked with the local FAA FSDO and they told me that the Tether had to be more than just a constraint, it had to provide either power...

    Women BEATS UP drone operator at the beach, old or new?

    Its just not PC to say she probably deserved to get her a$$ kicked. Its unfortunate that we live in a culture where people feel entitled to view everything of someone else but when it comes to a themselves their perception is that you don't have the right. Although its hard to tell, and I...

    Considering you didn't have a gimbal this was much better than I expected. I think some of the limitations your running into are the GoPro itself, one thing that you can do to make the image appear a little sharper is add a bit of contrast by raising the whites and lowering the black and reduce...

    Switching to Superx from DJI Naza-M

    I didn't set mine (SuperX) to a specific throttle % and it works fine. Now I'm worried... SleepyC is about as impartial an advocate for anything MR there is, me, not so much. Prior to the NAZA, fly-aways on any other controller was a rare occurrence, now thanks to DJI its part of the MR...

    Product Review ** JETI HiCopter 30A Opto ESC

    This is also over my head but I can certainly appreciate the effort that went into this presentation, great work. Im also curious about running longer power wires to the ESC to mount the ESC below the motor.

    Gongrats to Aerial MOB and Mr. Kloner......well done

    I don't think anyone is saying that regulation is a bad thing, well not all bad anyway, but what the first court case pointed out was that the FAA had not gone through the required legal process of defining an RC as an aircraft and therefore did not have the jurisdiction to regulate them...

    Gongrats to Aerial MOB and Mr. Kloner......well done

    I totally agree, unfortunately I'm not sure this will ever be resolved in a manner that would prevent some administrative pinhead from putting us all out of business with the stroke of a pen. I also have nothing against those that are trying to gain clarification and wish them luck -- BUT -- IT...

    I usually spend Saturday mornings shooting pictures with my niece, last Saturday a friend who built an RC Turbine replica of one of the local firefighting helicopters asked if I would shoot him showing to the crew of that helicopter. We had about two hours to shoot and had a lot of fun. And...

    Recommend a charging station for me!

    Anyone using or considered using these chargers? I'm new to all of this, been flying on 4S and I'm now considering 6S and I didm;t think about how much longer it might take to charge a 6S. Quinton, that Lipo Safe is a great idea. I have a DIY safe made out of cinder block and Lipo bag but I...
