The FAA requirements at times go a bit over the top. MilSpec should be plenty good enough. If you remove the words hobby, hunting, boating, golf, airplane, jewelry, and photography from the descriptive uses of a MilSpec component the price drops by a factor of 5, at minimum.

...Because that's the way hobby stuff has been produced in that area for a long, long time. If the market was willing to pay a little more for a better product they would be made elsewhere and with better quality.

If you can, obtain some small bubble levels from the hardware store. I prefer the small round ones with the bubble in the center. Set the copter up on a level surface, verified with one of the levels on the frame. Find some place on the motor or arm to set a level to check motor level. Check...

If flying a Pixhawk, yes.

There are several good choices between the different brands. I won't suggest one brand or model over another because that usually kicks up a personal preference thing with different people. You can search the better brand names with the various good reputation vendors and check the spec sheets...

Classic "toilet bowl" action generally caused by a flawed compass calibration or gains set much too high. Work on the compass calibration first. Also verify the GPS and EMU is facing the correct direction (towards front of copter) and that X-Y-Z data for GPS has been accurately entered in the...

I suppose that depends a lot on the copter and what the owner wants to use it for. A very small machine, like a 250 racer, has a very limited amount of deck space so on a boom is possible but a very small cam on the frame is more likely. A racing quad would put a camera on a boom at pretty...

Eagle Tree systems are all about telemetry and FPV. E.T. markets a very capable ground station designed to function with directional equipment to maximize range and control/video quality, all of which is pumped to their OSD systems integrated with their flight controllers. Telemetry and FPV...

Better have a real long power cord if your going to try that with a multirotor...

They pulled the video but the media already had their teeth into the story; http://news.yahoo.com/enrique-iglesias-concert-injuries-worse-feared-180802953.html#

Probably more the operator was blind and dumb.

Two federal legislators have already proposed a bill that includes a liability insurance mandate. Really not a bad thing but the insurance industry is woefully unprepared with such offerings. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Question; are you applying throttle very, very slowly when to start up the motors? It the craft level when you apply throttle, if so and if not, with the props removed rapidly apply throttle with it level and see what happens. Props removed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you see a ~36' black toy hauler with "UAI" bold and in gold all over it make it a point to stop. Y'all speak the same language in more ways than one. Based out of the Austin area.

I have a lot of friends with an aerial company over your way doing the same things you are right now. You're right on about the military family. Doesn't matter what you are, we're all the same and look out for each other.

Although I completely agree with the need for a political group the problem is in paying for it. Many people will join an organization and have good intentions with supporting it, right up to the moment they find out there's a need for them to send money to support it. People that organize...

Best of luck in your search and may it turn out well. You folks in Texas are having a pretty rough time right now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
