    Looking at it, and what's included, causes one to think it's too good to be true. That makes people worry. Need more info. Builder, flight time on the motors and ESC's. more info on gimbal.

    Feasibility of a work class UAV in USA

    You have some great questions, ones that are more appropriate to offline discussion for some of them. Several questions are easy to answer. It's very easy to license a "drone" pilot. Currently only an FAA licensed pilot can operate commercially and there are zero additional training criteria...

    Pretty darn hard to fit garters, hose, and a G string on a 4 legged cat. The effort would be a kick to watch tho.

    Good find with the GE commercial:) All ideas start out in the rough and most of them unveil to discover unforeseen kinks that require a little additional attention. It's only the desire to succeed, dedication to improvement, and perseverance that allows any new idea to flourish. I liked the...

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

    No special sauce, just well set up engines and clean air frames. You'll understand if I have to remain more than a little cautious where questions about this stuff is concerned. I'm not keen on the militarization of anything and everything either, but that's where all the work has been for...

    It was in Reuters so it was a public press release and could be seen outside. A little not so secret secret, they've been pretty active up in Alaska, along with Aerovironment, flying oil pipelines and fields for some time now. The FAA is a constant watchdog. I know all too well who the...

    "Drone" Radio Live....Launching Oct 28th!

    Fengshuidrone's post got me to thinking about flight safety a little more. Why not a show, or more, that explains the air safety rules as established, in plain language, to assist the so many that are oh so ignorant of what they are, why they are there, and why they were initiated? Lay out the...

    Dromida Kodo will not take off

    I doubt there's a lot of difference between the fancier body Kodo and other Dromidas of similar size. I planted one of mine in grass taller than the props quite a few times and found out the grass was stronger than the motors, in turn burning out one of the motors. Meaning they aren't really...

    Perhaps we should direct this thread back to the original topic. That might keep be out of the hot house. Waaay too many temptations for my demented sense of humor:)
