Very stable so far, although I…"

Marque Cornblatt replied to Scott VanFossen's discussion Problems with Aquacopters. Buyer Beware!"On the most recent version, there is a small vent on the top just above the apm, as well as a covered slot for the USB cable, so it's not truly "airtight". It does produce a bit of heat inside, but this frame is designed for…"
Scott VanFossen replied to Scott VanFossen's discussion Problems with Aquacopters. Buyer Beware!"Hey, that is pretty sweet.
Questions:
How big is it
How do you control the heat inside
How do you control the airflow inside for the pressure sensor
Will it hold a gopro 2
What is the cost of something like this?
Thanks
Scott"
Marque Cornblatt replied to Scott VanFossen's discussion Problems with Aquacopters. Buyer Beware!"I've been chatting with the owner of Aquacopter on and off for a few months. I got the impression that they were not able to handle the order load and so I never placed an order with them. Instead I was inspired to make my own frame…"

Hello everyone, I am wondering if anyone else has had issues with their purchase from Aquacopters. I know several people have posted on other forums that they have experienced many delays and have even had to file claims against them for non-receipt. Here is what happened to me:I originally placed my order on Feb 25th. The website states orders are delayed 3-4 weeks. I didn't have a problem with that. 4 weeks go by and not a peep from Aquacopters. Week 4.. I sent them an email asking for…See More
Scott VanFossen commented on Dez Socks's blog post Nice entry level FPV Quad"I don't have another 5.8 system to try to pick up the signal and unfortunately the documentation that came with this is severely lacking.
Here is the manufacturer's link for the Ladybird FPV. There are some really good photos here of…"
Scott VanFossen commented on Gary Mortimer's blog post Model aircraft owners drawn into privacy debate on drones""While the technical differences are important, the true distinction between a model plane and a drone stems from the motivation of the operator."
This is a very important statement in the article. It seems to me that this is the…"
Scott VanFossen commented on Dez Socks's blog post Nice entry level FPV Quad"I bought one of these a few weeks ago and it is a blast. I haven't gotten a feel for FPV flying yet, but this little quad is crazy fast and nimble.
I tried flying FPV outside the other day and was having fun until I lost the video signal…"
Scott VanFossen commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Infrared camera for less than $300""There is no way you could find a thermal camera for 150 dollars"
Hey, all I am trying to say is you get what you pay for. I'm not saying it's a scam either. I am sure you will get some really blocky thermal images. But…"
Scott VanFossen commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Infrared camera for less than $300"Oliver, its the same as the other one. You get blobs. Also, the frame rate is so bad on those cheapies, you couldnt really do anything with it. I watched the video and he made bad examples for the home energy part. You cant see those things without…"
Scott VanFossen commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Infrared camera for less than $300"I also contacted the developers about this. I run a home energy audit business and use a FLIR camera on the job. When I asked him about the images that they show, he freely admitted that you would not be able to use something like this for anything…"
Scott VanFossen commented on David Anders's blog post First city in the US to pass an anti-drone resolution"Of course, FAA rules trump local laws, so this doesnt really mean anything."
Scott VanFossen commented on Gary Mortimer's blog post Activists’ drone shot out of the sky for fourth time"Peter, That is exactly what I am curious about. Why hasnt the FAA stepped in and slapped the operator of the drone with a fine yet?
Other questions I have: Why does the FAA have to control drones in uncontrolled airspace. 500' and below should…"
Scott VanFossen commented on Gary Mortimer's blog post Activists’ drone shot out of the sky for fourth time"This is an interesting thread with lots of things to consider.
To me, the biggest issue would be whether the activist's use of the drone constitutes a commecial useage.
As was stated before, the FAA has complete authority over drones and…"
