Hugues commented on Jake Wells's blog post 1.2 Ghz FPV with 2.4Ghz control- Weekly Video #6"Lol what an epic story. Lucky you found that guy to climb in the tree! Honestly i think that even with a higher muscle/weight ratio, you would not have made it.
Have you had time yet to check out what you could do about the project we talked about ?"

Jake Wells posted a blog post1.2 Ghz FPV with 2.4Ghz control- Weekly Video #6
Last week(week 5) I tested out a new FPV system using 1.2 GHZ. It works great. The only problem I had was that it was locking out my 2.4GHZ control. So for the video I used my old 72mhz radio. Let's just call it glitch. It glitched me right into a patch of stinging nettles. So I ordered a low pass filter from Readymaderc.com.

Jake Wells commented on Jake Wells's blog post An Officer and a Boxcopter"They did say that the posts need to be about autonomy not FPV. So I got them in with the DIY aspect. "
Jake Wells commented on Jake Wells's blog post An Officer and a Boxcopter"Not sure. The moderators disapproved my last three weeks of posts because they where about FPV. I have to change the wording to get the video posted. They even deleted one week after it had already been posted. :("
Jake Wells commented on Jake Wells's blog post An Officer and a Boxcopter"Very cool Robert thanks. I won't really be posting on here anymore. It's too hard to get a post approved. If I mention Jesus or FPV the moderators kick it back. So I'll be posting on Flitetest.com and FleshPilot.com from now on. Hope…"
Robert Tilden commented on Jake Wells's blog post An Officer and a Boxcopter"Thanks Jake for sharing your RC experiences. Big Bear, one of my favorite places, the location of lots of memories for me; I was stationed nearby at Edwards AFB. FPV is a great way to photograph beautiful locations. Keep up the…"

Jake Wells commented on Jake Wells's blog post Field of Nettles - Weekly #5"Hi Hugues,
No video breaks. I was really surprised by the quality I got from the stock antennas."
Jake Wells commented on Jake Wells's blog post Field of Nettles - Weekly #5"Hi Kabir,
The moderator who disapproved my first submission of this didn't like the write up so I'll post it for you here.
When I started back into the wonderful world of RC I was hooked by the idea of flying FPV. I hadn't flown my…"

Wednesday, May 8th 2013
My wife made a comment about it taking a long time to assemble the BoxCopter and get into the air. So I figured I'd come up with a new prototype. This is it. A balsa h-copter that can fly with or without a box. Making things lighter and modular made for longer flight times and faster assembly. I did make things more simple but…
