    Fly around an object at set distance

    Three systems are capable of this that I am aware of. APM 2.6 and up, Pixhawk, and DJI A2. The one I know from experience to be absolutely reliable for this function in Pixhawk. The one I know from experience to be expensively iffy is A2.

    Section 333

    I view the subject matter of this thread as something seen from the view of an extremely naive individual. He can't see the reasons not to try because he doesn't want to. From the perspective of someone immersed in the current regulatory processes it't clear he has no concept of how our...

    Ronan, Rumor has it Friday might bring a big announcement from the people that have been making things difficult. As for this other thing, people have been trying to dream up a million ways to beat the system, most of them trying to earn pennies when big money is the penalty for being wrong...

    New to Multirotors? A general guide for the new user.

    From the friendly folks at ACUAS.ORG comes a simplified statement for the new multirotor enthusiast that expands a bit on the FAA/AMA use video. The text has been copied and pasted from the site in two posts to fit the 10,000 character requirements but the PDF it attached in full to the first...

    It's sounding more and more like an end point issue in the transmitter. It may also be a channel reversing issue. Check in the Assistant to be certain the Tx throttle up relates to throttle up in the Assistant. You may have to alter the lower end point for the ESC's to recognize the stick is...

    Of course there's all the law firms that will charge their usual rates for this stuff. That can be quite expensive, running up to $7000.00 or more. I've been setting up such a service and I have heard of a couple of others. I don't know of any other outfit that actually understand multirotor...

    I don't have any idea how the Phantom Realtors have managed to get approved. The first one had to have been written by a 4th grader. The original 6 firms were the foundation for the current format. They didn't file because that was the approved way. What they did and the way they did it...

    Exactly! What he said had little or no value compared to what he did. We should study this guy's actions and use him as a poster child for what not to do when you operate a multirotor. If you don't know how to fly in manual nose in and nose out you certainly should not by flying inside a room...
