Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I'm interested. Building for several years. Many quads, one that even flies. And now a hex. A hex on me.

"Thanks again. When I get to radio calibration I get nothing. sometimes it is all black. several times i get the green areas where it starts but no response to stick movement. No little red lines. Large frustration. Something you said made me decide…"
"thanks for the reply.
I have watched all 9 of these at least twice and the 5 for pixhawk more times than that. But because of your suggestion I got the Cube (pixhawk 2.1) out and followed the videos exactly. My 2.1 connects to Mission Planner and…"

I had a hexcopter with a pixhawk over a year ago. I was using a Taranis X9D back then. I was able to build it, set it up, and get it working back then. Then I had to stop using it for quite a while and now I am trying to get back at it and I am…
"Euan,
Could you provide a URL to "Your Book" so we all have access to Euan's definitions? Sorry, I don't have a book but use others like dictionaries.
And of course I feel it is YOU that miss the point. You have all sorts of arguments and…"

"And pigeons do not hurtle through the air in a ballistic trajectory like a baseball or out of control quad. Your total lack of ability to understand as evidenced by this obviously unrelated example is why I, for the most part, support the FAA in its…"
"Euan,
I didn't comment on the commercial aspects because there are only so many hours in a day.
Where do you get the idea that these are punitive rules? They are just rules. Because you don't agree with them you call them punitive.
I do not…"

"Bill,
Thanks for making my point. This is analogous to our problem with UASs. Just because you can buy a recharge kit doesn't mean you have a clue about the law. And if some guy (shadetree mech.) wants to charge you to use said recharge kit he is…"

"So move there. I think you'd like Switzerland. None of these damn oppressive agencies. Heck you can keep a gun in your house. In fact you have to I think.
Oh and the AC? You need a license because they want to make sure you can recapture the…"

"Euan,
You got me. How could I have been so closed minded? Damn the FAA. I'm going flying. I don't like the law so I am going to disregard it. I think I will speed on the way to the field. That'll teach 'em.
Dr Marty"

You know the answer to all your questions. You just don't like them. There ARE safety issues, you just choose to ignore them which is exactly why the FAA needs to step in. We should be thankful congress told the FAA to leave our hobby alone.…"

"Uh, Jamie -
This is exactly the FAA's point. Education education education. This is why they think we need guidance. When they talk about altitude they mean AGL - Above Ground Level so on an 8000 foot mountain you can fly 8400 feet MSL - Mean Sea…"

"Well then what is APM Planner 2.0 for? How do you choose? When to use one or the other? For what?
This is one of the confusing items about this system.
Any help on which to use and why would really be appreciated.
Thank you."

You don't say what you did to get FW loaded. Please post what you did."

"You are courageous, especially with other people's money. The fact that one case was decided in a very lower court does not I think make it legal to charge whatever you want. 'Tis a bold statement to say this "unequivocally".
I think again that…"
