[WTB] APM 2560 with IMU rev. H
Started this discussion. Last reply by Ryan C Smith Oct 27, 2011. 2 Replies 0 Likes
I was testing alt hold and my quad took off like a bat out of hell and I lost it. I had a broken GPS on it so I couldn't track it. Needless to say I need a new APM set up. I have one with a faulty…Continue

Harry commented on Ryan C Smith's blog post Full size helicopter pilots see a RC pilot crash his P-51 high into a tree and fly down to save the day."It's good flying no doubt. They got the thing out of the tree, they could have just as easily put it there and we didnt see that part. Enjoy, I cant. "
OlivierD. commented on Ryan C Smith's blog post Full size helicopter pilots see a RC pilot crash his P-51 high into a tree and fly down to save the day."So, guy crashes his P51 up in a tree on purpose so they can do this video. Yeah, right. Who in his right mind would crash a P51 gasser willingly up in the trees? I flew light GA aircrafts and it is easy to spot RC planes from the air, this is for…"
Jason commented on Ryan C Smith's blog post Full size helicopter pilots see a RC pilot crash his P-51 high into a tree and fly down to save the day."Fantastic! What a story the RC pilots have."
Jesse commented on Ryan C Smith's blog post Full size helicopter pilots see a RC pilot crash his P-51 high into a tree and fly down to save the day."@Harry; my dog probably wouldn't bark at the helicopter either... the instructor is clearly an expert, the way he just parks that thing in the tree tops as tho it was sitting on the ground is impressive; skill only seen in military training,…"
"Yeah, the Left Pilot in a Heli is co-pilot, where the CFI will sit during training, so I'm guessing training flight too. While this wouldn't be normal ops or anything, given the weather it didn't look too risky for an expert…"
Mike Bristol commented on Ryan C Smith's blog post Full size helicopter pilots see a RC pilot crash his P-51 high into a tree and fly down to save the day."My dog grew up around planes. He never showed the slightest bit of suspicion around them. I've also flown probably hundreds of dogs in my career and very few are nervous about them. It's just like a car. I would…"
Peter Meister commented on Ryan C Smith's blog post Full size helicopter pilots see a RC pilot crash his P-51 high into a tree and fly down to save the day."The pilot of that R-22 is either ex-military or offshore ex-heli-pilot for the oil firms..It takes some skill to plop down on top of trees and grab an RC plane first shot.... Some one owes him a few rounds at the bar..... :)"
Jan Detlefsen commented on Ryan C Smith's blog post Full size helicopter pilots see a RC pilot crash his P-51 high into a tree and fly down to save the day."could be ex military, i mean that where you are likely to end up when you love to fly full size aircrafts."
Harry commented on Ryan C Smith's blog post Full size helicopter pilots see a RC pilot crash his P-51 high into a tree and fly down to save the day."I'm skeptical still. Maybe a dog wouldnt bark immediately but showing some suspicion of 30 foot blades spinning is healthy behavior, man or beast. Nobody seemed surprised. Another thing is how the pilot went right to it. …"
Crasher commented on Ryan C Smith's blog post Full size helicopter pilots see a RC pilot crash his P-51 high into a tree and fly down to save the day."@Harry
Really? I've had plenty of dogs that don't bark at things over the years. They aren't particular interested in cars, busses, trucks etc, I don't see why a helicopter would be any different."
Harry commented on Ryan C Smith's blog post Full size helicopter pilots see a RC pilot crash his P-51 high into a tree and fly down to save the day."Staged, still good flying but prearranged. Notice the dog had no fear or nervousness around the helicopter. That dog has been around full scale helicopters before, possibly even that one. Most dogs would be suspicious and…"
james sowell commented on Ryan C Smith's blog post Full size helicopter pilots see a RC pilot crash his P-51 high into a tree and fly down to save the day."where were they at? looks like the east coast"
"I am thinking the pilot is ex-military. This looked like a training flight turned RC rescue.
An OUTSTANDING moment captured in time."
Crasher commented on Ryan C Smith's blog post Full size helicopter pilots see a RC pilot crash his P-51 high into a tree and fly down to save the day."I just want to buy that instructor a drink, you know that would be a late one!"

This isn't Drone related but I saw this on reddit tonight and thought you guys would get a kick out of it.
Warning there is some adult language in this video so I shall mark it NSFW.

Woke up this morning and saw my shipment was sent...20 min later fedex at the door. I just received my new APM 2.0. One of the perks of living in SoCal is fast shipping from DIYDRONES. I got 2x so one is going into sim mode and the other one is sitting on the bench waiting for permission to board my…
