"The rc pilot shouln't be flying there, period. Nobody is saying he was ok there. The title is biased, agree. The officers are with the rc pilot in the moment the heli fly over the quad. Maybe the quad was not so freaking dangerous, I gess the heli…"

""Sir, could you please bring back your rc aircraft and land it?" would do the job. No need to put the rc pilot in a situation in that if the full scale heli had and accident, law enforcement could blame him. Common sense in "both sides", please"

"Lower your gains and do the autotunning. That worked for me all the times in differents sizes. My smallest size is a 330mm though. If autotunning doesn't do the job, clear your D gains and tune P and I for smoth flight, and when it becomes…"

"I had an APM2.0 in a 300mm frame and it was perfect. At first i had a hard time making it just fly, but you just need to lower your PIDs like A LOT! once I realize that, it flew like a charm "

"Nothing new, just a reminder of since theres is a lack of specific legislation, actual laws apply, and actual laws of course covers aerial space, public endangerment and privacy. The problem is the great visibility UAVs are gathering due to these…"

"@titeuf007, as @Sgt Ric said,i would't call that a clone. And in the end, price, reliability and support would be judges. Good to hear,keep us up to date"

"I have seen a few media companies in my city, (in Spain), using hexas and octos over the crowds on popular festivities and music/sports live events, along the last year. As far as I know they are not RC people using their knowledge for profit, they…"

"Great! Some folks here recommend using different prop size on top and bottom. I.e. 3dr coaxial frames use 10 inchs props on top, 11 inchs props on bottom. I assume they made their tests to get to that configuration...Woul'd be great to see the…"

"Hi Michael,

On APM2 I have JP1 not installed, and RX powering the board from the input rail. RX power from 5V UBEC. Right now I have opto ESCs and all is working great. Just a month ago I was using linear BEC ESCs, and all four ESCs had the power…"

"Ops! you are right, mine is a V949. no camera :(
As for yor budget, I think 800$ is more realistic. Can't advice you what plantform you should go fo. I'd say I like the APM a lot!"

"mmmmm that's right Tim, I never count battery, charger, radio, and a few other common things in the budget. If you've  none of them, I won't say cheaper, but the price of the Phantom wouldn't be far away"

"What camera are you using on your V959? A keyckain maybe?
