    Speedwolf Varja-80

    Eh...it looks ok I guess. You can tell its not that great though. the frame is plastic thats made to look like carbon fiber, the battery looks pretty unique so you would probably have to buy spares from them only. It probably does what it advertises and it looks cool but you really need to read...

    Increasing Flight Time of Hexacopter

    It could be a solution but I have never seen 10" 3 bladed props before. Hopefully the 5500 mah battery works out well for you. Do you know what your craft weighs and how it compares to other 550's?

    So how do yall feel about drones flying over your property?

    I fly my drone in front of my house occasionally. My neighbors all know me and dont seem to mind. I am not interested in whats in anyones backyard and would never hover over one. I would feel like my privacy was being invaded if one were over my backyard but would never shoot at it. I took...

    Increasing Flight Time of Hexacopter

    I would defitnitely lose the propeller guards. You could lose the landing gear if you think its too heavy. You may want to experiment with a different propeller pitch.

    Cameras .... GoPro or uav manufacturers

    At one point I had an SJ4000 and I thought it was nearly as good as a gopro and better in some ways. I tried to upgrade the firmware and killed it so I guess thats a negative. Theres a lot of you tube videos of people comparing the go pro knock offs and other sports/action cams. Some are...

    Flight Controller UpGrade Options

    I have heard good things about the Naze 32. If your familar with the CC3D then the Naze 32 would probably be an easy switch for you. If your comfortable with the set up and using GUI's then the Pixhawk would be a nice upgrade although more costly.

    What Would Make a Better FPV Experience?

    There's always room for improvement but if you look at the open pilot GUI for the CC3D FC its amazing what you can tweak. You can really dial up the settings.

    Question about payloads

    When you talk about how much payload a MR will lift are the batterys usually included in that number? For instance, if someone says a MR will handle a 3kg payload is that the gimbal and camera only or is it the gimbal, camera and batterys? I have been having a hard time finding the max payload...

    FAA Sued, sUAS Registration Rule

    I had heard from someone else that the "Old Guard" of the AMA wasnt really supportive of FPV which is closely tied to drones. I dont know if thats true or not. One thing I have seen with long standing clubs is when the times change and new things come out there is resistance to accept them with...

    FAA Sued, sUAS Registration Rule

    I'm not an AMA member but I would think that their members feel somewhat betrayed that they are not defending them, after all it's a lobby organization.

    New Advertiser!! MultiRotorMania.com

    I will put in a good word for multirotormania. They're local to the Sacramento area (not far from me) and I have been ordering from them since they first opened. The thing I love about them is that I can place an order and get it by mail sometimes the next day. They have continuously expanded...

    What's "SDK"? But no I don't think it's possible.

    My 15 minutes of fame!

    Now every time they need a quote from a "drone guy" they will call you. I'm serious. There's a guy here in the Sacramento area and he reached out to the media or they found him, either way he seems to get on the news anytime there's something drone related. You are now an ambassador to our...
