    DJI files patent suit against Yuneec

    Jetcrazee, I just got to see a very well done video shot with the H, unedited except for scene splicing. It was provided sort of back channel from someone overseas. Stick it out, I'm certainly going to. The video product is absolutely exceptional. There was no lens distortion I could see...

    Trouble reaching a private airport tower

    Under the rules aircraft have to maintain a distance of at least 500' from any person or structure in unpopulated airspace. If only you are around a pilot has to remain at least 500' from you whether he is aware of you or not. In densely populated airspace that separation increases to 1000'...

    Well it finally happened

    They do, and it has been well noted at just about every stage of the ARC committee meetings and in every Part 333 Waiver application. Putting myself in their shoes I can understand their fears of having small flying objects that are hard to see being operated by untrained and uncaring people...

    Well it finally happened

    Something people have to provide governments and lawyers. Not to be confused with the rumors, hearsay, and W.A.G's, the media politicians provide. The pilot of that A320 should have his medical certificate questioned. Seems he might have an eyesight problem that if left uncorrected might...

    Trouble reaching a private airport tower

    Create a log of the dates and times you made attempts to contact the airport operator. Maintain phone carrier billing records showing the number you attempted to call. Make one attempt to personally visit the airport in search of the operator. Purchase something at a nearby store that will...

    DJI files patent suit against Yuneec

    You too! Latest dealer PR message. This will be the last delay I tolerate. Bold emphasis is mine; Frank here with an update for all of that have pre-ordered the Typhoon H. The news is disappointing but not bad in my opinion. The Yuneec Typhoon H has been delayed due to high demand and...

    Well it finally happened

    I think some legislation about reporting news accurately instead of sensationalizing without verifiable facts might be in order as well.

    DJI files patent suit against Yuneec

    In that part of the world some "corrections" have a tendency to be permanent jetkrazee, I know what you mean, I've had a full pay pre-order riding with a dealer since 3/17. Virtuous is something I have never been accused of...

    DJI files patent suit against Yuneec

    You're call but perhaps hang on a bit longer. I have had a couple conversations with a dealer that spent some time with them recently. The reason for the delay has good cause, but the cause raises a lot of questions. End result may be that each and every unit is being test flown before...

    Well it finally happened

    I should mention I had a female flight instructor and I have never been, nor ever will, be politically correct;)

    Well it finally happened

    I didn't create that one, it was related to me by a UPS pilot back in the '80's when I was learning how to fly.

    If women were desired to fly planes they would have called it a box office instead of a co**pit;)

    I believe 3DR beat DJI to the active track thing back with the Iris.

    FAA NPRM - Do I have terrible timing?

    That would seem quite unfair considering what has been involved with acquiring a 333 waiver. But who ever said life was fair?
