I only know of two and they were both caused by RC Helicopters not multi rotors. What I'd like to know is in the 100 years or so of RC models being flown, how many incidents have there been with full size aircraft? I'm asking because the FAA and CASA claim that they must have a role in...

Simply unbelievable.

A year on and I'm wondering why I didn't invest in a blimp rather than multi rotors. I could shoot anywhere and not have to deal with CASA/FAA. Probably a lot cheaper as well.

If multi rotors are so dangerous then why not simply require them to be limited in the height and distance that they can travel? It's easy to do in software as DJI has already demonstrated. No hobbyist needs to fly autonomously or over 400 feet beyond line of sight. So limit the hobbyist by...

very cool kloner. that's an amazing adventure you are on.

Curious what country you are in? If it's the USA then how did you get FAA approval?

An X8 with 26" props and you are worried about the weight of wires? What are you lifting with that monster?

What's _really_ scary about this is how it could have so easily been much worse. I don't think we have really learned from it all.

Very interesting. I've been going for name brand simply to eliminate one more 'fear factor' given I didn't really have the experience to know the differences. I am surprised at your results though as I assumed that no name motors were probably made by the top brand manufacturer. I'm also...

Well, you have my interest. I'm interested in anything that adds to safety and preventing damage to my equipment is great as well. I've been considering using two MARS chutes for some time now but couldn't figure out how to kill the power when they deploy. I'm also interested in having the...

Interesting you would say that. I agree with you. Have a look at this article I ran across yesterday that cross checked the reports and found out what we all expected, that the reports are grossly over stated.

Enjoy your journey. You have to start somewhere. But don't fool yourself, to do this commercially is a very expensive and long process. There are legal issues to consider as well. Once you've done a business plan and a cashflow analysis you may very well change your mind about doing this...

That does sound like an issue with the baro. I'd take that foam out and see if it performs better.

I'm still feeling positive about SuperX and do hope that they add some features. We get great support here in Australia. They are easy to set up and fly well. I think like everyone else they are simply going for the biggest part of the market as a priority. That's just business. I'd love to have...

Is there a way for me to reverse the order of the thread postings? Also, the email notifications I receive about threads I'm following don't contain the actual post like they did before, just the notification. I much prefer receiving the actual posted message in the notification.

Couple of quick questions. Is it possible to reverse a thread so new posts show first? The email notifications I receive about new posts don't contain the actual post like the use to. Is it possible for notifications to include the actual posted message? Thanks for the great work. I bet it...

Up in the clouds somewhere

What can be done about this? I keep reading about these issues and really it seems unacceptable that such expensive equipment can end up as junk through no fault of the owner. Can you imagine the outrage if a certain brand of car just decided to steer in to oncoming traffic once in a while? You...

Or if you live in the nation's capital city!

Stunning. Lovely work and great flying. Thanks for sharing it. The flying over people did make me nervous but sure looks like you know what your are doing. I hope that some day Australia will be advanced enough so I can actually enjoy viewing such work in 4k. Unfortunately we still use crappy...
