Seems a lot of the 200mW transmitters are really inconsistent in quality and capability. The HK antennas can be pretty dicey too. I strongly recommend IB Crazy Bluebeam circular polarized clovers for a starting point. You can play with the directional stuff after that.

Keep an eye out for spiders and snakes. Oz has some of the most lethal of both in the world. Oh, don't try to pet the Joeys...

Why do you think the FAA is setting the stage for air vehicle certification? That "top of the pile, top quality" will be a much loftier position than anyone can imagine, and only those that can pay the price will be allowed in the game. From my perspective this is a case of hoping you don't...

Your signature line brought back memories, and reminded me of my first child...;)

One requires a radio system that has the appropriate features that would permit accessorizing. Most of the small store bought RTF quads don't have the capability. The copter in Rickey's post likely has more receiver channels that are being used in the current state so one similar or higher in...

Publish a comprehensive user manual use a language and syntax format appropriate to the language of the country the unit would be sole in. So many manuals lack adequate content and even worse, the language translation loses much of its continuity going from one language to another. In essence...

Pretty easy really. Set up an Aux channel of a receiver to trigger a lever release like what is used for the tow hooks on RC gliders, and away it goes.

I haven't used a Naza in a long time but if either is a 5v buss it will work. Same applies if you plug into a receiver channel that would provide tilt control.

You'd take payment in any media outside of child dependents;) Count me in, I'll do what I can. I'd prefer more of 1 on 1 teaching of the actual flying and acting responsibly. Hood River, Oregon area most of the time.

I think that figure is an extremely low estimate when one considers the numerous areas an unmanned flight unit could be used for. What's out of hand are the people calling themselves UAV CFI. At the moment there is no such title that has any legitimacy. Something people that are interested in...

Everyone has to start somewhere, and you came to a forum with a lot of knowledge to learn from. You can take advantage of all of us by asking all the questions you were afraid to ask and end up saving a lot of time and money. You can give back later;) Welcome!

Ziv, I finally got to see Expendables III tonight. Great job man!! Sorry we didn't buy the used unit you were selling earlier this year, the crew decided not to focus on cinematography and went with something easier to modify for the task. Pat

Back at ya with a Happy New Year for good measure.

Glad you dropped in, welcome to the fun house. Gotta love it when we of an older generation re-discover the fun stuff!

Sheesh, I can only reply with Feliz Navidad, and Merry Christmas. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Set up with 6s and 8000mAH, 14" 3 blade folders, two Vtx or a one Vtx with a video switch and OSD dialed into/through the Pixhawk, with motors and ESC's done right flight time should instantly jump to ~49 minutes/ The slow flyer props gotta go.

Felix, To answer your question about Pixhawk components, they are not bad, just "standard" in quality level. They could be more robust but they would of course cost more. Everyone wants "the best" quality money can buy, at least until their money is what will be paying for it. The Pixhawk...

People should also check their spam folders and move what may be there into the "In" box.

You do know that as soon as you have that dialed in I'm going to be badgering you for your PID settings, right?:)
