Yeah, You're basically buying a sticker for $35, plus they have your personal info to boot.

His shirt said laid back, easy going. And then they have to go and get all serious and stuff, sheese....

Radios and receivers are typically one way communication only. Your radio broadcasts a command and your receiver receives it and sends it to the FC to be executed. That's it. There is a thing called RSSI (received signal strength indication) or something like that. It lets you know how strong...

LOL the wife bought me the Tremors (movies) series. Burt Gummer is the man!

Doesn't surprise me at all.

Aerial photography and videography using drones by Eric Cheng The wife bought me this book for Christmas. The price on the cover is way more than I would pay but we have a amazon prime account and it was on sale to boot. The author has been in the industry since 2012, he is a underwater...

I don't think a balloon (or a powered parachute) certificate will do. It needs to be a pilots license. I flew ultralights for a while but sport pilot kinda killed them off and I sold my plane and haven't followed the industry since. I'm really hoping that when the new rules come into effect in...

That's a fair assessment. I was on another drone forum a while back and we would constantly get these college kids that would come on and ask questions because they took on an engineering project and needed help. I don't have a problem with helping out but some of them just wanted you to tell...

I second jfro's comments. I think a hex that has 12" props would be too small for what you want. So you will have to go larger than a 680mm. You need a larger hex or octo to carry a DLSR but the bigger you go the cost goes up exponentially as well. Also there are numerous little decisions to be...

I can hardly watch a movie anymore without wondering how they got a certain shot. Love the "Planet Earth" type nature shows with the slow flying shots over a herd of bison or something like that.

The media really hyped the drone thing prior to Christmas. They claimed that the sky would be full of them by now with rookie pilots being irresponsible and downright foolish. What they failed to recognize is that probably 90% of those "Drones" would fall into the toy category or what I call a...

6. throttle, yaw, aileron, pitch, GPS/attitude and IOC but you can add a fail safe too so 7 ch, which means you want an 8ch radio. but 6 would be the minimum. weather its a quad, hex or octo wouldn't matter, it would still be 6ch minimum.

I'm sure there are some flight characteristics that differ from the different styles but a lot has to do with getting the props out of the view of the camera if your filming.

I wouldn't go with a pre installed program for a specific model if using a naza. If you have expo on it it may not allow the motors to arm. There are a ton of good taranis help videos on you tube. The only thing that model download probably helps with is gain settings. Start with the videos on...

I have never been able to arm and operate motors when connected to the naza assistant. But when I disconnect and try it everything works fine.

Well I started with an 8 ch radio and found myself wanting more. My interest is in photography so I need gimbal and camera control. I just bought a Taranis which will do 16ch's. Its a $200 radio and comes highly recommended from many in the know. For the price you probably couldn't do much...

Welcome Jim! The mini 250's are definitely an easy way to get into this hobby without a ton of money up front.

Ok, So i'm at 209 603-2920 (John Coffield) j.coffield@sbcglobal.net Would love to get together for a coffee or whatever when our schedules align..

Whats your first name?

I am starting my night shifts tonight so I'm out till new years. I will put you in my phone though. I get a long stretch off starting on the 8th.
