Route the camera wiring away from the GPS and there should not be any potential issue. A board or surveillance cam is not usually a radiating issue.

Drill new holes or obtain some G-10 or carbon plate to cut new mounting plates better suited for your motors. It's not hard, just time consuming.

We will continue to see an increase of this until people once again become self reliant.

Think a pimple on your a$$ is irritating? Wait until you get a carbon micro splinter in the same place. Misery!

How's everything working out in the warmer weather? The twin receiver set up was a good idea.

It does look cool. The square tube arms are quite practical, making for easy to obtain replacement if damaged. They also allow for a lot of length experimentation if desired. Looks like a little imagination will be in order when mounting motors though.

It's supported by every group that stands to lose revenue to drone operators. http://www.globallegalpost.com/big-stories/drone-sector-could-be-stifled-by-proposed-us-safety-bill-205079/

Not intending to misdirect but have any of you tried the Eagle Tree Vector yet? It's working out pretty well on an 810. Way point navigation looks to be on the near horizon and the OSD is outstanding.

What kind of flying would you prefer to do, racing or aerial video?

Considering you want to fly low and fast something a little smaller might be more prudent. Record video if desired from something like an 800TVL FPV cam instead of an under slung and expensive gimbaled Go Pro. Banging into the ground or other natural fixed obstacles is pretty common in the...

I would not store batteries with anything else I wanted to keep.... Remotes and similar do well in Pelican or similar cases. Treat the stuff like professional equipment instead of like a junk drawer in the garage and things will function as they should a lot longer.

All it has to do is function reliably, provide solid control stability, and always come home when it's told to, and have good customer support. Way point navigation would be a bonus. If all of the first four points were in place it would be more than competitive with DJI.

Seems like our legislators are making individual moves to enact legislation that will impact us all. http://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2015/6/feinstein-introduces-bill-to-improve-safety-of-consumer-drones

Perhaps the reason is sales volume. It might be hard to justify investing a lot of time and money into developing a product that may not generate enough sales to recover the investment and turn a reasonable profit. Gimbals for cameras larger than a Go Pro are not big in sales quantity, and...

It's very much possible. Tethered flight has been done many times and has been the difference between a super long duration heavy lifter and basic heavy lift of very limited duration. The downside is being limited to a fixed location. Wire size will be determined largely by the length of the...

ESC's function at best efficiency when run at full throttle. Although most efficient the current increases dramatically, in turn running down the battery much faster. What you gain from the ESC is offset many times over from what you lost in flight time because of battery drain. It's all a...

Best one I've used to date is the 3DR version but it's not as tall as the usual stick antenna.
