"No different than flying anywhere else, except you have a long walk if it crashes."
"Tom, are you in the USA? If so, call your local FSDO (Flight Standards District Office)...they may/should have the answer...remembering that really no rule is ever for sure until decided by a judge.
I know the FAA allows a businessman to fly his…"

"Yes it is...absolutely...home-made quadcopter fall under the exact same laws."
"Perhaps the servo functions needs to be set to the correct motors... See if this helps:

"Very nice...where can I find more information?"
"Can someone explain how all the electronics have been waterproofed? There's also mention of "redundancy" in reference to electronics getting wet...that seems to be saying if some electronic component gets wet and fails, that a backup will take over?…"
"James did you figure this out? I'm wondering because I would also like to know if MP and QGC can be used interchangeably. Thanks..."
"Many of the flight controllers typically associated with Betaflight, iNav, etc, can be flashed to arducopter. I use a Kakute F7 all-in-one...but there are many others. All these are FAR smaller and lighter and integrated than the Pixhawk world. A…"
"Hi folks...I just thought I'd drag up this old thread to see if there's been any new thoughts or developments about an emergency backup battery, and whatever switching is needed. (Like Tom said, backup power supplies for computers exist, so it…"
"OK...what I did was use a y-cable from the SBUS out port on the X8R...sent one to the Pixhawk of course, and the other to the SBUS input on the Storm32 card...in this way I avoided using PWM. Other possible solutions I heard for using PWM is that…"
"I wanted to clarify a bit...
The Pixhawk IS recognizing the control inputs from the radio...but it is NOT passing those control inputs thru to the gimbal.
I can see, for example, RC8's input PWM value change...I can also see the bar move on the…"

It's amazingly difficult to find information on this subject.I'd like to control the pitch, roll, and yaw, of my gimbal (Storm32 controller), from the control outputs of a Fatshark Trinity headtracker (mounted in Dominator V3's), using a Pixhawk,…
Maybe this has already been mentioned, but...I balanced my props and did the HDMI cable mode...and I still have micro jitters. So I tried Prodad's Prodrenalin V2, which is supposed to address micro jitters and such...(version 1 did NOT address those…

I'd like to control the Solo via 3DR telemetry radios (perhaps for greater control range vs wifi). Is there a way to connect a telemetry radio to the Solo? Thanks...
"Thanks for that Chris. I was hoping to connect with telemetry radios specifically...perhaps for longer range. Shoulda made that clear in my first post.
