Looks like Flying-Cam got their waiver, but check the battery use restriction. http://www.auvsi.org/13102014/17102014flying That sort of leads to something I got wind of yesterday. Seems some in mega aerospace are already stating that hobby grade products are not going to be able to meet...

The 3dR X-8 will do the job for sure. One has been used carrying "after market" components and using the Mission Planner flight plan software for some time. However, APM/Pixhawk software requires the user to take some time in learning how it works as opposed other FC's where you load it onto...

I was referring to a quad carrying a Black Magic pocket cam or an MSI. A full on DSLR would not allow a 48 minute flight with the craft I referenced..

To make it work requires some association with people that make Lidar systems of reduced size. Even then pretty much complete re-configuration of everything under the deck plates is necessary. Some custom building skills come in real handy.

For those in the area and so inclined to attend a meeting covering in's and out's of the 333 waiver process, the following; http://www.auvsi.org/events1/eventdescription/?CalendarEventKey=99e297ec-7a1a-458a-b7e6-9c8673ce87ef

It would prolly fall into the 1000mm size class. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Can neither confirm nor deny use, but it can be fit.

48 minutes actually. Thanks for the explanation about development Robert.

One might think the "illegality" is something that is being established via public perception. Tell a lie often enough and with conviction and eventually people start to believe it. This is way deep in political manipulation of the press and other media but such has been the case for again...

I can see this being combined with Lidar and creating some fantastically accurate imagery.

Sorry to say, but ignoring legal precedence and Constitutional process has been much too common over the past 6 years. You've got a shot at helping to fix that in a couple weeks. I feel for ya man, I really do. A lot of notices went out to big companies some time back advising them that...

Enough people come together and a class action suit could be filed, but two things are assured in that. One is that it will be years before seeing a court and the second has the plaintiffs receiving at best a very small individual judgement in their favor if they win. They might even get the...

Another tip regarding a button hex head cap screw. Never, ever use a ball end driver to tighten or remove. Only use a square end hex driver.

That's been my experience with 28" props using 170kV motors as well. 1260mm Vulcan quad folder with X8 capability. Hey, at least Vulcan sets his plates up where you have the option of adding more arms. Few others do that. For the record, the original Naza worked fine in up to medium winds on...

Regarding the production company, what you can get away with is totally dependent upon "who you know".

Interested in a lot of it. In particular the 810, motors, ESC's, X-Aircraft, and Tarot PDB arrangement. Will you ship out of state?

I did and joined somewhat over a month ago. Haven't heard a word since. Any organization will have to be extremely active to accomplish that which needs be done. A new organization will get off the ground with a lot of planning, document prep, and goodwill but from that point on will require...

Hate to sound political but you've just run up against the Chinese business model. Someone over there found a hardware supplier that sold their wares for a couple cents less per thousand. You've found out how they were able to do it. Lower grade materials.

Believe it or not, McMaster-Carr sells a fairly comprehensive line of good metric hardware. I usually replace stuff that comes with Chinese hardware with stainless products from McMaster. Micro Fasteners is another outfit that sells in singles and bulk at somewhat reasonable prices.

Threads or hex socket stripped? If the socket try putting a layer of tin foil between the hex wrench and the socket. Use the wrech to shove the tinfoil into the hex socket. The tin foil will conform to both sides, the wrench and the socket, to and provide a better fit. Alternate is use a...
