Better idea, get the guy a gift certificate to a Nevada brothel.

Hope she doesn't marry the brother. The other looks too hard at his brothers girlfriends. As for why it's always Phantom owners, perhaps it's an "every thing has to be easy" mindset that's c'mon to the group, or they overly susceptible to mass marketing strategies. Sent from my iPhone using...

Perhaps you have a bad USB port and it's not connecting? Sounds like you might have to do some port mapping in the device manager if the input slot is working as it should. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks like batteries are going to run into more problems with shipping. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2015/03/03/airlines-stop-accepting-rechargable-battery-shipments-due-to-fire-risk/?intcmp=latestnews

Let's start over with a different sequence after disconnecting everything and exiting Mission Planner. If you have the telemetry radio module plugged into your computer, unplug it and set it aside. Do not connect the flight battery. Now open Mission Planner and let it fully load on your...

A brief, well, perhaps not so brief, word about that. In my work I'm subject to ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) and the amount and type of information that cannot be safely and legally shared in open and uncontrolled discussions is mind boggling. What's interested is even if...

Sounds like someone is looking for an education without having to invest any effort. People with a little experience/knowledge know that APM boards have pretty much been superseded by a more advanced and versatile system. Might be nice if the OP told everyone a little about himself and how he...

Those that have actually made one of the monsters truly understand what it takes to make one happen. Although lots of $$ plays a very big part, you haven't sweated until you take off the first time at 27lbs+ and learned the gains were way off and you have to land it, not crash it, before you...

I guess I was a little too delicate in the way I was telling him;) Glad you stepped up to the plate. Reminds me a bit of when I was a lot younger when my Grandfather told me my eyes were bigger than my stomach. I don't think the OP realizes he'd have upwards of $12,000-$14,000 into the...

Sure. Home now, it's 14:9 Pacific and I'm good for another hour or two. 209-481-2273

Propeller choices are VERY limited in larger sizes. Look at the motors from KDE and T-Motor for starting points and compare the performance data available from each company for their product lines. The data sheets list out some pretty good starting points for thrust generation with different...

You mentioned in your first post getting into the "inspection" business. The question of inspecting "what" significantly impacts the items that would be needed for the job. Roof inspections? A Go Pro White on a fixed angle mounted on vibration dampeners would work but a simple and relatively...

Sorry you took it harshly Chulagi, it was not meant to be harsh. Oft times the web causes intentions of text to lose the perspective intended to be related to the recipient. Since this is not a "beginners" forum in the typical sense I tend not to address things in a manner appropriate to a...

I like that very much!

I've done two using the 3DR produced videos and the Arducopter Wiki directions. My goal previously was an oblique attempt to get Chalagi looking at instructional material specific to Pixhawk and the OS that drives it. If you understand the system operations because you have quality reference...

Look up the power requirements on the monitor data sheet for accurate numbers but my 7" stuff runs for over an hour with a 3s 900mAh battery. They are small, cheap, available everywhere, and charge pretty fast so having a few will keep you going for a long time.

Kloner, Since you're usually on the cutting edge of everything perhaps you might be interested in discussing this stuff with a company up in Oregon. Hood Tech has done outrageous stuff with image stabilization and adaptive camera technology. The name Sony Handicam took on new meaning with...

I know this will make some unhappy, but some deadly accurate testing has shown the high amperage T-Motor ESC's are the best on the market. I cannot share the stats but I know the source and would trust them with my country. FYI, I am not a T-Motor fanboy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Try visiting the arducopter site, select "copter" and "Pixhawk" along with Ublox GPS for very complete calibration and set up instructions. They won't be Taranis specific but some things are not particular to a brand of transmitter. Although Pixhawk is an open source product 3DR provides just...

The 3dR X8 was my experimental foray into use of the Pixhawk. I figured if I build a new copter for a Pixhawk or bought one RTF the money would be spent either way and the RTF method was a way to get as much air time as possible to determine how well the FC functioned. I have not been...
