    list of businesses helping with 333??

    No list but I can connect you to a writer that can ;design/write your documentation to specifically fit the federally preferred formatting. We've been discussing handling this stuff for some time and he is uniquely qualified for the task. I guarantee you'll have some of the best paperwork the...

    Grade A dingleberry

    Try the same thing with an s1000 and guess how much bodily injury would have occurred. The guy was an idiot in so many ways. Once someone develops a habit of doing dumb things on a small scale they end up doing dumb stuff in every thing they do. It's a defective thought process.

    That price is definitely reasonable for an FAA written test prep course.

    Bart and all, The way things are laid out at the moment there is nothing at all specific to sUAS in the FAR's. The FAA permits the logging of hours operating a UAV but none of those hours can be used to qualify for any aircraft or type rating or privilege. Kind of like getting all dressed up...

    The course can be taught with a certified ground instructor. It does not have to be a flight instructor. Both can endorse for the written exam. Again, this is referenced in the FAR's. FAR part 61.215 (a) (1) (2) (3) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    FlySafeTraining.org...anybody been through their program?

    The FAR's specifically reference the ability of a person to undertake the ground school course as a home study endeavor. One still has to obtain an endorsement but they do not need to attend a structured classroom study course. I'll post the applicable FAR when I get home. Study materials run...

    3DR vs. Blade vs. Yuneec vs ?

    Welcome! SOnds like you been through all the toys are want to try something with considerably more versatility. I'll relate what I know from experience and leave out things where I don't have any. I've been the DJI route (Wookong and A2 controllers) and will never, ever go there again. The...

    Yep, as a certified FAA Ground Instructor I could start up a multirotor/Private Pilot ground school.... At least the attendees could walk away with a signature that legitimately qualified them for something.

    Bart, Sorry if I seem cynical here but if an organization's training syllabus and certification is not recognized by an agency that sets the standards for training, what standard is the training organization certifying to? Does it provide type specific flight system training? A&P...

    horizon / autolevel setting in baseflight with flysky ct6b

    Don't know, I don't have all the minimum specification requirements for all your equipment. Start your research with answers to those questions and an immediate answer might be evident. If all the minimum compatibility requirements have been achieved then it's a matter of trial and error or...

    ALPA weighs in on UAS integration

    ALPA has been quite consistent with their public input for Part 333 waivers. So far what they have provided during the public input period has been consistently against issuing a waiver for the commercial use of sUAS. AOPA has not been any better and gone as far as issuing a letter making...

    X8 and Contra Rotating Efficiency - A simple study

    Yes and no, not like Sleepy's depiction. Tips remain =/= in separation but motors cant to the outside of copter center, outside tips lower than inside. Put an ammeter in line with each motor on a bench test pair of motors. Set up the test with a motor pair installed in the "normal top and...
