Is the AMA still giving problems with announcing these on diydrones?

What funny up-side-down planet do you live on?

Is a nice way to say that you were not flying in high altitude. Upside down it's negative, eh!? :P

Jack, as far as I know the AMA doesn't care, since this isn't an AMA field or event.

FPV footage from that day. Sorry no editing. Both videos have the most interesting part around 3:00.

Mentions of future east bay RC events are conspicuously absent from diydrones.

Jack: We announce them on the SF Bay Area UAV Fliers mailing list. (It's in the Members tab above) Sign up!

Regards to Charlies video... how did it arm if it was at full throttle?

I gotta get me a quad.  I can't believe that.  If my heli fell like that, it would be completely destroyed.  My last crash, it just tipped over on the ground, and did more far more damage than yours suffered crashing from 1 mile up, onto pavement.

:(

Mark (and everyone else, in case you didn't know) -- You can fix the video orientation in youtube.  Go to the video, click "Enhancements", and you should see some rotation buttons.

You can also use the "Stabilize" button to help with handheld shakiness (I wish youtube would give viewers the option to do that on all videos, regardless of whether the video creator used it).
