    A First?? Mode S/ADS-B Transponder on a small UAV, UgCS

    Been using Sagetech's stuff for a long time. Good products but I don't think they have FAA manufacturer certification yet.

    Fuel Cell, 2 hours, and a Go Pro

    I suspect that won't happen until after the military has been using it for a few years.

    Speaking of negativity in the news, the link is one of the worst I have read in some time. Not because of who it presents as using drones in a bad way, but because it fails to note that governments are using them in exactly the manner they are condemning the bad guys for using them. If we...

    Ridiculous Proposal Courtesy of California

    Yep, rejection of politics is acceptance of the trend politics is taking any given subject. DJI, in conjunction with AirMap, have just effectively appointed themselves as the government accepted caretaker of U.S. airspace and flight safety management. All without anyone firing a political shot...

    Horizon Chroma Drones Sale

    Rick, that state was a given two years ago, when all the uninformed figured their "work" to be featured on the next cover of Nat Geo after buying a Mobius or Go Pro. The only problem with it was all the real professionals managing to stay alive until the children raced to the bottom.

    Horizon Chroma Drones Sale

    At the consumer level, perhaps but the longer term focus is flowing to commercial application development. Our gov has been throwing a whole lotta federal grant money to some colleges for advanced development of commercial level sUAS technology, heavily weighted towards agriculture and...

    Horizon Chroma Drones Sale

    Had a conversation with a dealer yesterday that alluded to exactly that. Those predicted massive numbers of multirotor sales for Christmas did not happen. In fact numbers were far below the 2014 stats. All the dealers had ordered and stocked considerable inventory in anticipation of large...

    He has to cash them. When provided legal ID in a store that accepts payments from the Feds and state for Medical and other medical insurance he is bound by a bunch of legalities. He has reported the fraud at state levels many times, with no apparent action from the state.

    CES - Qualcomm Snapdragon autonomous FC

    From what I can gather we're going to be seeing more and more of this type of control system and less and less of what we have today. It's not going to come cheap.

    John, I wonder if that is really true. Every time I speak with people at home none of them fess up to voting for people sitting in the state capital. I'm sure some did but the percentage that will admit to it is just not high enough to have carried the vote. Who's really counting the...

    Study on bugs in drone software

    One of the first "study" threads that's been started that has a foundation of research points that make sense and could do more to advance our flight controllers beyond what they already are. Not to mention what it could do for manufacturer transparency.

    I could tell you what happened to initiate it but I'd be called a racist within seconds of doing so. The second part has a lot to do with vacuous minded movie stars, with the third all about greed.

    I'm still waiting to find out what you came up with after Miss Piggy in a tutu.

    Alta Price goes UP - A LOT.... $11,995.00 WHAT?!?!?!

    I don't have an Alta, or a need for one, but I certainly understand nobody goes into business to trade a dollar and their time for a dollar. Keeping the doors open, paying the employees, the tax bills, and having something else to take care of your personal commitments is not something that can...
