"Wonderful, another case of reckless endangerment and more evidence for the FAA - you Americans don't know how to keep a low profile - do you. Read my thoughts!!"
"Adam Williams apparently commented that I am retarded. He must know my ex.
I reject your reality and substitute it with one of my own.

"OK - I googled it. Damn that is clever.
I am surprised - not a hoax."

"Hello - did I miss something?
Where is the windage on the rocket? Where are the clouds? Landing the rocket vertically? And the constant volume of the rocket engine - please.
What about the smoking candle effect from the rocket on decent? What about…"

"This guy deserves all he gets, he might as well have thrown a lawnmower of his balcony. It sucks that this might impact the hobby adversely."
"Hi,
I have bought all of my flight controller stuff to date from DIYDrones but everything else comes from HobbyKing. I have to look for best value for money when I can. My next APM2.5 is likely to be from HobbyKing since, in over $8000 of orders, I…"

I have APM2.5 with 3.01 firmware on a HK X525 quad frame with Turnigy Plush 18 amp ESC, 2212 1000KV motors and 10/4.7 props. All calibration by the book. Works well in Stab, Loiter and Auto but I still have severe wobble when the quad descends at…
"I hope the NYPD nail this guy for reckless endangerment. I know that most drone hobbyists and the professional drone community would endorse this view. I am not a citizen of the USA so I can do nothing - but you guys in the States could make you…"
"My Afro ESCs have arrived - thankfully in slightly less green shrink wrap. Looking at the firmware available, am I correct in thinking that flashing with the "reverse" version does just that - causes the motor to run in the opposite direction?…"
"Jay,
Thanks for the reply. it is true that LRS do not speak Mavlink natively but I am not certain what is purpose of the two-way function of LRS systems - I am assuming telemetry. I will have to look into that.

Hi,I would like to use a 433 LRS system with an FPV plane (X8) but the alternative 3DR 900 Mhz telemetry hardware is not permitted in Germany even if you have an Amateur Radio Licence as I do. The 800-1000 Mhz band is widely used by mobile phones…
"If you have a second camera, try attaching that, it will give you some idea if it is the MinimOSD or something in the video stream, sync pulse etc. In addition, try to match the resolution of the video screen to that of the camera or a multiple…"
"Agreed - APM is amazing - but it can only work with what you give it. I am a drone newbie and have spent a number of hours flying my APM around the room on a piece of wood to get my head around what it does. Although I have a shiny new toy still in…"
"Any delays on current orders?
