Hello, do you have cool parts for drones or need any?
I design 3D models for everyday use and want to model drone parts to post on my website. i will offer them free to the public but need ideas and technical info. I'm not selling anything!
i will make

We are very excited by all things RC and Autonomous RC and aerial photography has us very hooked.
Please check out our website and request things you want to print if you can't find the models on the web, or you can't make them

Is it reasonable to expect drone manufacturers to add more technology to reduce the number of dangerous drone flights? Specifically, should manufacturers make it much more difficult to fly their d

According to Randy the know issue of altitude loss after a high speed run is at its heart a frame issue.This seems to me a very worthwhile discussion to have.Once the majority of us understand this, we will be less likely to muck up other threads.Tak
