I'm all for helping people out where I can, but I also know the world is not as friendly a place as I wish it would be. SO before responding to inquiries about the high levels of what we have and do I try to qualify in every way I can the background of the person asking the questions. I like...

Anything 100 watt hours or more is limited to 1, carry on only in passenger commercial aircraft. You exceed that W/h limit with your batteries. Ship them.

Haven't done a lot with them, however, there is a review of the Blade Chroma which is a Yuneec product. If you have a Q-500 or Typhoon and feel comfortable with it you might consider writing a review for submittal.

And the laws related to ITAR. We can import FC technology but we cannot export it. That includes the Internet medium. One does not need to be part of a company or corporation to find themselves in a lot if hot water with ITAR. It's applicable whether or not one is cognizant of it.

Two places to see a lot of MR aerial footage. The TV show "Gold Rush" and the latest massively tongue in cheek release of the "Tremors" sci fi movies.

John, You might be surprised to learn that a lot of those posts aren't made by engineering students working on a project at all. I get security briefings all the time and anything drone technology is high on the "want list" for African and some eastern countries. They have some pretty bright...

You might want to ask yourself if prop guards are really necessary. Will they perform the function they are intended for? Are they frangible, permitting them to break if impacted? Do they truly prevent personal contact with the propeller from more than one angle? Are they rigid enough not to...

The operative word here is 'Yet". In the beginning there were no tombstones for unsuspecting non participants with automobiles and airplanes, yet those did later occur. It's sort of like a spouse cheating on the other, because it hasn't happened does not mean it won't. Statistically the odds...

If they still have any 3D Robotics is selling their FPV kits for $99.00. Camera, Vtx, monitor, antennas, Vrx. The monitor alone normally sells for close to $150.00. It's a re-labeled Black Pearl.

I agree with the P.E. The 333 process follows the full scale registration standards and is part of the requirements listed in the 333 waiver if you get one. You'll register the aircraft before you operate commercially or lose the waiver the first time you're caught. If applying for a CoA to...

The solution will be a slow and painful process, but as more things go wrong individual liability becomes the ring that will bind them. So will shared liability. It's unfortunate but it will take a few injuries, or worse, deaths, for the customers to learn they will suffer pain along with...

That was pretty good, especially with a couple of nice tube rides.

I just finished a flight after a fresh snow fall and without some good gloves I have just about 1 battery of flight time in my fingertips. Did you see the Pe'ahi coverage?

Thanks for not taking offense with my reference to fly by nights and deep pocket amateurs. That was meant to be descriptive, not offensive and I'm pleased you got that. Everyone starts somewhere and grows their knowledge and experience base from that point. Issues arise when people are led to...

Use to experience that a lot on another forum. It's a massive waste of time having to cull threads of people that just want to play silly games on the internet.

I think it's a case of extreme professionalism. Knowing the equipment though many, many flights under many conditions. Understanding what you are working with and how to compensate for numerous different factors. Having a team, or the team review the flight zone and anticipated conditions...

Just watched the new Point Break movie. The folks that handled the aerial work, I think it was Digicopter, did some nice work in difficult places. I think it's better than the original.

The full scale registration process is what is referenced in the 333 waiver approval/request to obtain your hull numbers.

It has been applicable since 91.3 was first published.

If you want to see a lot of people become indignant and irate real fast, simply relate that fact to them. I've done so and had to just sit back in wonder about their naivete'
