A flight simulator. The Aerosim has 12 different multirotor models including every kind, some with "+" motor mix config. Batteries deplete in real time. The program can be customized to match your own craft and transmitter setup exactly. Fpv with osd can be activated. The sim Gaui 330 flies...

Here I have to write that I've never been in phone or email contact with Patrick. I learned the quality of his business several months ago and simply placed my online order. My order arrived in three days. (we're located in the same state) I ordered the heavy lift conversion kit for the dji...

Has Chinese economic strength become so strong that they can overwhelm all the other innovators in the field of hobbies? Hobbyking, Goodluckbuy, etc. Not just DJI. Innovators in other countries seem to be falling behind the Chinese juggernaut. The mainland manufactures and Hong Kong...

Turn off the GoPro WiFi. How to do it: http://abekislevitz.com/understanding-your-gopro-part-2/

Remember that the Chinese read sentences from right to left. Don't know what side of the road the Chinese drive. A famous American geologist studying asteroid craters in Australia forgot where he was and was killed while driving on the wrong side of the road. Thank goodness Canadians and US...

The cruise line may have purchased a no picture taking zone from the government. Speculation.

I guess I was just pointing out the obvious. (slapping forehead) :02.47-tranquillity: The RTF's seem to fly okay because they're built and programmed by people who know what they're doing. On the other hand, we newbies who build them ourselves seem to be the people who experience whacky...

My current observations suggest that people who build those craft and then sell them RTF know something that other hobbyists don't. i'm still trying to build my 450 without help. I can manage. Thx

Ditto to what IrisAriel wrote. I have had all my 450 parts in for a long time and I'm still a month away from seeing it fly successfully. I had to relearn how to solder and get the soldering tools. My project is delayed because I destroyed several sets of connectors just learning to create...

You would want the white thingy to free fall a long way before deploying the parachute. Or the wind would carry it away. Lots of model rockets with chutes are never seen again. I agree that would be a fun project. ... For someone with a moneybag. (All in fun)

How high would it go? Can it become invisible?

You won't find anybody.

Now I'm scared. I received my Maytechs from a dealer in Colorado several weeks ago. My building is very slow. They're 40 amp optos preflashed with SimonK and exactly what I wanted. My motors are 2814's said to be a tad better quality than Avrotos. Avroto rhymes too much with AXI. Heh...

May I ask what Z coordinate you guys enter in assistant when the puck bottom is flush with the top plate or arm? - Rob

My little suggestion: A stiff section of coat hanger bent to an L shape. The bottom of the L bent upwards. Tie a bowline knot loop at the top of the line. Slip that over the wire. Attach a weight to the snipped treble hook. If the Phantom is stuck then tilt the rescue craft and the line...

As a noobie myself I want to address the mishap a different way. I'm not qualified to hoot and laugh at the guy and point at where his Phantom ended up. Can the thread be turned around to be constructive? How would we use a more powerful MR to retrieve that Phantom? With a line and grappling...

The journalism guild has its own dictionary. In Journalism words are spelled differently. In the real world, a process that separates pure water from sea water is called, "desalinization. Look at any media article and the media spells it, "desalination". The correct plural for "cactus" is...

I agree that some of it is about semantics. I've described my project to friends where I work and the common response is "drone". My camera carrying future build can be called a "drone". My friends at work have always known I'm building a "drone" and they're all eager to see it flying. It's...

I watched the video more carefully. I'm not sceptical about it anymore. Just amazed.
