Here's my prediction, lots of hype as there was in Europe and then the discovery that they don't work in high winds at a drop of a hat and can be dangerous to all involved. Then the quiet withdrawal of projects. I have also said that until America has regulations none of this tech will be...

The CAA want to eventually introduce a CPL(U), several years ago probably too early we tried to set up a group for operators that had sensible, useful training for fixed wing and rotary operators. A syllabus and everything! It was already apparent that a monopoly was being created and we wanted...

Yep I am one of the sUAS News folks, glad your reading! I don't get here as often as I should, so much to see so little time! But am going to give multi's more time now, they seem to have caught on ;-)

Oh I should have said if you have content that you would like to add to sUAS News about your business you can always email me gary (at) suasnews.com. We have a free directory as well if you want to add yourselves there. i just have to remember to update it...

Hi all, The increase of multi stories has made me create a free web mag based on the content sUAS News has been posting. Its here https://www.google.com/producer/editions/CAowj_zjAw/multicopter_news This just pulls the multicopter feed and regulations as these are the only two I think...

As a slight aside, when planning fixed wing UAS missions I make sure I use a tool like this http://www.navcomtech.com/Support/Tools/satellitepredictor/main.cfm To see just how many sats are visible at the site, you really should be flying with more than six in the sky. Multirotors are a...

Sounds like noise issues rather than the almanac not staying updated. The very need for the stand points to that. What is the make of GPS used? A good start though.

Well..... if you don't know who they are you can't have been to the OP forums.....

Not from America you can't, you need to ask Matt in NZ or Dave in Melbourne. All boards in all other regions from this batch are now sold I believe so unless you have already reserved one, you will have to wait for the next batch.

James and David talking a bit ;-) Worth listening to if you want to get a better handle on what the project is about. Should be here

I don't understand why won't you need a power distribution ring of some sort?

That machine is illegal in the USA, full stop. If you want to join the organisation that sat on the rule making committee and thus has an idea of whats happening you need to seek out RCAPA http://www.rcapa.net/ You guys really should start bothering about the rules in America you only have a...

Difficult day for sure, I recently had the honour of taking Red 5 Kirsty Moores parents flying and had quite an insight into whats what with the Reds. Must be difficult for the entire team both aircrew and ground. They truly are the best jet aerobatic team in the world. Sad sad day.

Wonder who they got their COA from

Hi Dave Your not connected to Gene are you?? http://rpsearchservices.org/ they are acknowledged leaders for using sUAS in the USA in a SAR role. Gary

If you end up selling lots to "outlying south pacific islands"I feel there will have to be some sort of delivery quality testing or market analysis by the team. Maybe even an OpenPilot Team meet there. That just sounds so exotic as the wind blows and rain falls on an August summer morning in the UK.

Ok I'm in and will try and mod one of our tri frames next week, motors in or out on the tail, I have seen both ways.
