About Me:
I have recently re-ignited my interest in R/C airborne craft. I think it was the FPV & AP systems that hooked me. II work in special effects for film & T.V. I'm no longer a kid but I still enjoy R/C boats and planes, model rockets. I also like photography, boating (being around water), motorcycles & electronics.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

"The Xbee 868 has a low data rate, 24Kbps, & if you enable AES encription I believe it will be reduced further.
If the telemetry serial data rate is greater than the radios' RF transmition data rate there will be lost data.
Maybe try reducing the…"

""If you would like professionally produced labels for your drone as one way of complying with the FAA regulations then go to Drone Registration Label who can provide them for you."

"Wow , that's great!
It looks so surreal [ @ 3:10 ] to see the plane just 'hanging' there as though it were hanging on a string.

"Nicely done!"
"I have an e-flite QX200 for indoor flying and I have to raise the throttle shortly after arming or it will dis-arm itself. "
"My favourite FAQ from the FAA web site.
Q. If I don't have a scale and my drone doesn't appear on the list is there another method to tell how much it weighs?

"I think that its pretty neat that APM has influenced the creation of a radio system that is marketed specifically for APM.
That being said, I will now risk 'judging a book by it's cover' and say : That I think this particular offering is most likely…"

"With a normal RC setup for a plane channel 1 is for aileron, channel 2 is for elevator, channel 3 is the throttle and the rudder is on channel 4.
If there are no ailerons then the rudder servo should be connected to the aileron output , CH 1.
