Nice views of the city though. Not being supportive of all that had to occur to make the video but it did have a lot of appeal.

Go here: http://www.faa.gov/licenses_certificates/aircraft_certification/aircraft_registry/aircraft_regn_forms/ Open each document number you want to download or print. Near the top right corner there is a selection choice of "Print" or "Share". Select either if one of them is your choice...

We don't know that nothing is being done about that flight activity. The process is ponderous and they don't comment on them until they file.

Some don't have the funding to support multiple levels of platforms so they put what they have into units that allow flexibility of function. Just a thought.

I would not be tuning anything until the current loading was established. PID's will never do anything to correct an electrical fault. Place an ammeter in line with the battery power leads, weight the copter down with enough weight so it can't lift off and run the throttle up. Check the...

To be completely legal I suppose we will have to tattoo that registration number on our backsides in order to show the law each registrant has numbers in the aircraft that match those assigned to the person. Let's see now, I wonder what script would best fit the registration numbers FLIMFLAMMED?

A good reason to invest in a hot melt glue gun.

How many amps is the system pulling at higher throttle settings? It may well be too many for the system's design. ESC's are simply lots of tiny switches and you may be over loading them, or the motors, with a 4s.

Something equally important to safety is learning to fly in the manual modes. Anything man made is subject to failure and having the ability to take over in a manual mode if and when automated flight fails is a skill all should have.

And two days later there will be some great deals on "slightly" used equipment. Merry Christmas and a Happy/Happy back at ya.

"omg I love how its so big and thick. I bet it's gonna make the drone I build fly for a long time." I'm out

I'll get slammed by some for this but one brand of controllers have inherent software code issues that leave them as a poor choice when reliability is a determining factor. The proof of that statement has been demonstrated a great many times over and over with all their different FC's, having...

Roger that.

I work for a company a long distance from home most of the time but manage to get home periodically.

Agreed, it was Italy but you might be surprised in how much commonality there is between foreign military and government operation of UAV's with our military and government ops. With the exception of the Israeli's we've spent over a decade teaching the world how to do much of this stuff. I...

I fully agree.

I'm with you on the blow up thing, but it was my understanding 3DR was having all the parts shipped to their Mexico and San Diego locations where final assembly of their RTF aircraft was performed. All of their motors and ESC's have been of Chinese manufacture. I can't begin to prove it but my...

The above might be applicable to how the ski event aerial operations were being conducted.

Thanks Rick. I copied and pasted your reply to an e-mail along with your contact info and sent it to my boss. We'll see where it goes from there. Merry Christmas!
