So I've filed for my 333 exemption, I expect to recieve it in about a month or so. In the meantime I've signed up to get my sport pilot$ licen$e in order to be fully legal to use my UAV for my business, I expect to finish that in about 2 months. But I'm now googling around and it seems like the...

If I could poll the pros, I'm starting my 333 filing soon and I was wondering if there is any advantage to getting the exemption for my LLC as opposed to in my name? I was just planning to file in my name because the way I see it, if I get myself personally exempted, then I can do business...

Since my other thread spawled off topic and there are multiple people interested I thought I'd move the question over here: People in the USA, what companies do you use for insurance? Personally I seem to find lots of places that provide liability coverage, but I'm having a harder time finding...

I'm tiptoeing back into this pool and I don't have all the specifics of a build all put together yet, but as I ease back into heavy lift, ideally I'd like to build something that could handle a Movi with Red (or similar) payload, that I can use to lift much lighter (thinking of trying a Gremsy...

Hi folks, I apologize this is kind of a long read, but I wanted to finally share my story: I'm a filmmaker and video professional that's been working in the industry for almost 15 years. I've been doing the UAV thing for just about 2 years now... It started out as a curiosity and hobby that...

As a long-time video professional getting more and more involved in multi rotor systems, and beginning to form business plans of my own, a (possibly noobish) question keeps popping up for me: With larger, more expensive, and more dangerous 2-man AP systems... how do you prefer to fly...

I love my F550, but it's just so unwieldy to transport for a go pro system, so I was looking to repurpose most of the parts into a more portable frame with similar or better performance. I suppose I don't need hex, I'm considering quad, or even Y6/X8 options. I like the idea of a lower profile...

Just curious because I see a lot of lighting inconsistencies with different builds - I use Red-left / green-right to be similar to full-size aircraft standards - but I see a lot of red lights out front? I know what's most important is what works for you as a pilot, but shouldn't the multi rotor...

Hi guys, apologies if this topic has been done to death, just looking for some piece of mind. I'm trying to stock up on batteries for my new heavy lifter, and I'm puzzled by the differences here: http://www.getfpv.com/batteries.html?battery_voltage=332 I've been shopping a lot of places but...

I know it's kinda hard to get a consensus on this but: I have a bunch of Lipos that are awfully puffy looking. I got them used, so I unfortunately don't know their history. However, all the cells are balanced, and when I do an IR measurement using my icharger 406, they read no more than 5 milli...

I have a potential opportunity where a client wants to stream live IMAG from a drone flying at an event. What do people consider the most reliable VTX systems out there for Live HD video over the air, ideally with rare/no signal disruption? Is the lightbridge up to snuff? Are there other options...

So I just charged a zippy 4s 5000ma that has been in storage for only about 2 months. When I put it on the charger (ge power b6) the voltage read about 14.something - I didn't note it, just hit go. But seeing as it was over 14 for sure I was unconcerned. I always charge while I'm in the room...

I'll try to keep this concise, I've been strategizing for a while about trying to lift a panasonic LX100 with my F550. I'm about to pull the trigger on the Aimdroix extended arms, and some T-motor MN3110 700kv with 12" props. I'm considering the TP100 gimbal...

Just wondering - I've been testing a possible setup on ecalc, and it's hovering at ~30% throttle, and saying that it can support an extra 3000g payload. Is this acceptable for aerial photography? Or does it lead to problems with stability or otherwise? I'm looking to upgrade my F550 with some...

So I pulled a couple Lipos out after about a month of non-use, and they smell (not too strongly, but noticable) like a sweet acetone kind of smell. From what I've read, that means they are punctured? It's really weird because I've never crashed with them and always handled gingerly - no reason...

Kinda noobish question but, I've been running an f550 naza v2 with the new e300 system at the default naza gains (125,125,100,100), and it's been running pretty well, just slightly sluggish. I see on other threads most people running f550 at like 170% gains across the board! So I've decided to...

So when I first starting building my f550, I picked up a 40W soldering station, per the advice of a bunch of folks... it worked fine for assembly of the drone, but now the problem is I've purchased a bunch of new Zippy Lipos that come with bullet connectors that I need to swap out for my own...

This might be a dumb question but I couldn't find a thread where it is clearly discussed. I'm still new to this but I think I'm building decent flying skills rather quickly... although I mostly fly in Atti mode. I read a lot on here from the professional aerial video guys about flying in manual...

I've gotten mixed answers as to weather we officially call it the Y axis or the Z axis, but I'm talking about top-to-bottom of the craft. I've been flying an F550 for a while now and originally had it configured with a gimbal below and the battery strapped to the top, it wasn't perfectly...
