The flight service number is the best way to go because you describe your route of flight and the airspace that would impact you. There is a caveat. FSS deals with pilots and airplanes so you need to come up with a real aircraft tail number, like a Cessna 152 or similar. You introduce...

The AMA tries to keep the big TFR info up to date and posted for modelers. Typically that's for those times when the president is flying in and out of places. Notices To Airmen (NOTAMs) "The following list of high-profile NOTAMs is provided as a courtesy to our Members. This is not a complete...

Some also use a factor to obtain a relative number with a small buffer. They take the 100% thrust power, multiply X 1.2, and divide by 2 to establish the designed total lift capability at 50% throttle. If basing lift capability on 100% power then that capability decreases as the battery sheds...

Didn't mean to scare everyone away...

No surprise at all if one considers government wants airspace cleared for more expensive "toys" that have been lobbying with mega dollars for use of that airspace. Yes, I do believe in conspiracy theories;)

There's a couple of very good points in several of the posts above. Addressing, from my perspective, Carapau's post, is what the FAA is trying to do will not effectively nor accuratly represent a very small class of remotely piloted aircraft that are significantly limited in range and/or...

I've been working sUAV's for the last 10 years with a fair portion of that spent in sandboxes. It's a REALLY big money industry for the major players and I thinks what's happening now is all about giving them something back for all their lobbying money, and due to that rectum Trappy that in...

There's a saying; "You can't engineer out stupid". Unfortunately vendors make their living off the "stupid" so the condition is self perpetuating. They have no impetus to educate the buyers for if they did they would have fewer buyers.

Been there, done that. Currently writing up a waiver request that includes FPV and commercial operations. I've rocked the boat so hard it's been taking water over the sides but too many don't want to put on a life jacket. I agree with you, it seems that nobody cares or they think that the...

We'll see what happens with this latest help request. The issues just keep on coming with an RTF X8 order. The FPV will not render color imagery regardless of channel or video settings and the Tarot gimbal tries to twist itself apart during power up. No amount of firmware and configuration...

Or use a custom mix that activates with a switch position. I would think throttle to throttle would do it.

It's all perspective. I've used a P.I. before and was grateful, though saddened, to obtain the results. OTH, had a P.I. been used against me I probably would not have been so receptive to their activities;)

Tiger and Sunny Sky are one and the same, just re-branded. Look also at KDE. After you review all the numbers select the one that provides the most thrust at a higher RPM for the current used. That RPM value is one of the items that will determine how well your FC stabilizes the aircraft...

Actually, most are not even minimally versed. They know one exists but little beyond that.

You get a pass:)

A reply borne of ignorance. Sad indeed.

Regrettably, this type of activity is not uncommon with DJI. Go to You Tube and watch the Gold Rush set filming footage of the DJI 800/1000 doing the same thing.

All the fly aways suggest they are:)
