    Rogue drone crashes into Ferris wheel....oh brother

    Hey @John Doecliff . Yeah, I think you find bottom feeding scammers in just about any sector you can think of. I'm seeing it a lot here in Europe, asking outrageous prices and promising the best experience ever since sliced bread! Pathetic, really.

    I'm probably going to hell for this one........

    LOL! At least you didn't include a swastika on the tail.;)

    Rogue drone crashes into Ferris wheel....oh brother

    Bingo! Exactly. Maybe when a MR of a certain size (ie Phantoms, Yuneecs, etc.) is purchased, the FC could be extremely limited (ie, governed) in both altitude and radius until the newbie can at least pass a simple written test (both basic flight and written would be better). Then once said...

    Rogue drone crashes into Ferris wheel....oh brother

    Sorry, your statement simply defies all logic. Guess you know something the rest of us don't.

    Rogue drone crashes into Ferris wheel....oh brother

    That's a hell of an analogy (Boeing 9/11) I simply reject and don't agree with. Just seems to me like 8/10 or 9/10 of the clearly blatant violations are clueless DJI owners. I realize there are responsible owners as well, but IMHO they are few and far between. This latest incident clearly puts...

    The headline from the lamers over at MSNBC(doesn't matter what corporate news outlet it comes from, they're all equally worthless): From NBCNews.com http://www.nbcnews.com/video/rogue-drone-strikes-ferris-wheel-crashes-below-565153859721 Rogue Drone Strikes Ferris Wheel, Crashes Below DJI, the...

    NEW!! Xiro Xplorers

    "5.8GHz transceiver with holder" I don't understand why the Tx would be in this band. Isn't this just inviting connectivity issues? And what about range? Even with unimpeded LOS it has got to suck! Don't mean to sound like Debbie Downer because overall, I like the specs of this aircraft and...

    Oh great... is this true? (registration)

    Calm down there, Field Marshal. Obviously, directed sarcasm doesn't translate well in text mode. The only post missing from this thread is the "Blue Helmets, black helicopters (sorry, 3DR), and FEMA concentration camps are next" posts. I'll give it a little more time.;)

    hoo boy....1.9 million civil penalty! that's a lot of photos!

    When did this happen? I mean, how old was Bob when this took place and how old is he now?? My god, he appeared to be in his late 40's when I used to watch his act back in the 80's. So he's still alive then? Wow!

    hoo boy....1.9 million civil penalty! that's a lot of photos!

    Is this the same Bob Hoover that used to fly an Aero Commander at airshows? The guy would take this twin engine bird to 3000 feet or so, cut the engines, fully feather the props then dive the craft down to the deck buzzing both the airstrip and crowd. All you could hear was the sound of air...

    3DR Radios

    Wow. You know something? I used to be a real "fanboy" of 3DR in general and Pixhawk/APM in particular. As of late, however (talking about the last 12 months or so), I've become a little...disillusioned with the company. They seem to be consistently dropping the ball WRT customer service right...

    hoo boy....1.9 million civil penalty! that's a lot of photos!

    Ok, I'll bite. What attorney are you referring to (PLEASE don't say "F. Lee Bailey")?

    hoo boy....1.9 million civil penalty! that's a lot of photos!

    ??? This "hobby" (ie, AP) went "viral" (I prefer the term, mainstream) many many moons ago.

    How to install led lights?

    The buck suggested by moto will work but is way overkill and adds additional weight to your rig. This is what I use for LED's and some other stuff as well: http://quadquestions.com/product/qav250-bec/# It's really the bees-knees and works like a charm.

    You do realize you're living in a Police state there, don't you Sparky??

    Introducing The Splash Drone Pro

    @UrbanDrones You made me work a little bit to find a link to your site plus your pricing. Maybe include link next time?;) Can't find any info on your FC. Is this proprietary?

    OK, WTF!

    @cootertwo IMHO I see absolutely NO difference between the Chinese communist/crony Capitalist model and American multinationals. Their behavior is remarkably similar. So WTF is your point here?
