Not true. I've found that traveling with a firearm in checked baggage pretty much assures your stuff is going to get searched with a fine tooth comb. It will either happen in front of you or out of your sight, but it will be detail searched. As a person that believes every citizen of the...

Personally, I think the only reason airspace integration of UAV's hasn't happened yet is because the language hasn't been perfected that locks the small players out. Just suppose the FAA actually manages to permit "homebuilt" aircraft as they did with full scale homebuilts, they would end up...

The AMA has sent an e-mail out to all their members covering the subject. Text of the e-mail is below. <tbody id="yui_3_16_0_1_1403752158773_2250"> <tbody> </tbody>...

I think you're pretty close to the mark. The thing to me reads like a brief to the court that will be used during an appeal process. If the court accepts the points contained in the brief as accepted points of law then the FAA wins the case on appeal and those points in the "advisory"...

Okay, so one of my associates put the Cinestar in a tree the other day and "forgot" to tell me until more work is coming up. Checking the usual places I can't find a set of Xoar 14-6 to save my whatever. I'll take 4 or 8 sets of 14x5 and even consider 4 sets of the APC 14x4. multirotor...

Tahoe, I ran into a sync issue at the top end of throttle travel using a U8-135, Phoenix Edge 50 ESC, and Futaba 14SG with no FC included in the test mix. After calibrating the ESC no matter what I did the RPM peaked before the throttle did, and full (100%) throttle travel generated an RPM...

There's a difference between between being near maxed out for voltage and maxed out for current. Those differences pretty much dictate which wires end up the longest, motor or ESC. 12awg wire should be the minimum standard for high current motors and ESC's, and that wire should be low...

I like that! Everyone selling a gimbal has the greatest that's ever been but few really provide much demonstration to validate the claim. A base test standard would be a very good thing.

Thanks! I've been involved with unmanned stuff for quite some time now and every aircraft component I deal with that's flight critical has its own param file. A leeson learned long ago was always to save the original param files for the avionics in case some new component failed to work as it...

Interesting about the need for a fan. I don't have any experience with the U7 motors, only the U8-135. However, I experienced a very similar screeching sound at start up during testing with a U8 with Tiger 30 and Castle 50 ESC's using 28" T-Motor prop. That sound might not be generated by the...

Dave, Not quite true. Although you and I pretty much agree on the quality level of the A2, on the hot melt thing you're off a little bit. I fly giant scale RC, and have for decades. I also used to fly military/government grade UAV's and have a little over 2200 hours of flight time as a...

Hoping not to appear ignorant here, but what's the possibility part of the problem is the ramp up and down speed of larger props combined with slower motors, meaning inertia issues? The next question pertains to the U8-170 using a 28" prop and what's available to obtain similar response match...

That default 333Hz is what stopped me from buying a SuperX.

Something to consider. When one has an FC that seems to be doing everything much the way things should be, before updating software take and save a few screen shots of the previous settings so you have something to fall back on if the upgrade doesn't function as advertised. I try never to...

The frequency monitor may be a real good idea. You could be dealing with a HAM operator or two that lives in the area. They can pump out a lot of power that might have the ability to swamp our low power use frequencies. I live near/fly a couple of them and there are days where I can't get a...

There are several U.S dealers of Vulcan products, one of which is a sponsor on this site. Just for informational reference, I started conversing with Addictive RC about frames and the requirements I had for my build. We spent a few hours over the course of several phone calls and e-mails, with...

The Seacraft set up is indeed really nice but exercise some care with the monitor mount. It's pretty fragile. Adding some top to bottom support for the upper cross bar would be a good thing. Another upgrade would be slightly enlarging the top over hang on the transmitter handle clamp...

Looks like the throttle never drops below 16%. Is that correct?

Aside from the crash, how do you like the 650 Pro? I've been looking at that as a possibility for a Go Pro and FPV.

Do you have Mission Planner loaded on your computer? If you do it should be easy to bring up Mission Planner, connect your FC/AP via USB, select a baud rate or select "auto", click "Connect" at the top right corner of Mission Planner, and go to the Help menu. Bear in mind I'm flying APM but...
