Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Looking for a hobby that is fun and I have always wanted to have a R C airplane, looks like a lot of fun. Love the concept of the UAV, pretty cool technology. Want to learn to fly and then build a fairly hi tech one to check crops for my brother.

"Just an update to you all. I finally found an R C instructor in my home town. Kind of funny how it worked out. I had the Radian Pro and 2 other nice planes and a lot of gear that I had bought from a guy who no longer flies. I gave up finding…"
"Yes. You are absolutely correct, however the non representing representatives in Government have forgotten their place and their oath of office. They will do whatever they want when it suits them to do so."
Thought I should share this.http://globalguerrillas.typepad.com/globalguerrillas/2012/02/get-a-...
"Very nice ... tell me what you have done here..... FPV or autonomous ? Autopilot? What air frame is that ... it looks very compact and transportable."
"Dear sir,
I am wondering about your auto pilot. Do you build them from scratch and are you selling them. My project is very similar to yours. I am light years behind your expertise but wanting to learn. I am wanting a platform that can be…"

"We don't have to "do" anything with our UAV's ..... this is a hobby mostly. Technology has allowed us to do extra-ordinary things with small aircraft ... to program them to fly themselves, to give us beautiful pictures of earth that we cannot take…"
"I understood your point, and yes ... we have every right to express ourselves. Over-reaching government attempting to control every facet of our lives is never a good thing. I too worry that because of a terrorist attempting to fly a remote plane…"
"If I am to understand Ellison correctly, on his comment, "This is why most people feel that things like assault rifles and high powered hand guns are more regulated than hunting rifles and why toothpicks are not a licensed weapon." that so called…"
"It seems that there is always the sensationalize a story to make it more ..... palatable, hard hitting, whatever. The Media always have been and always will be liars of the highest order. If it is something that is exciting, OK but then if it is…"
I have just bought 2 hand built (wood and film) airplanes from the original builder. They are very beautifully built and the guy is a perfectionist in everything he does. They have not been used for quite awhile and I was cautioned to "loosen" the…
Well I took my brand new Radian Pro out for it's maiden flight this morning. I had gone over everything that I could think of and did my checks pre flight. Had a nice field of alfalfa about 6 inches tall and a gentle breeze, a bit of fog yet but I…
"I think I am going to keep the 6 channel, if I mount a camera I can piggyback on the rudder servo to move it. Saw a guy doing just that on youtube. My budget is tight, if I shell out for a 9 or 10 channel my budget is gone. I am really excited to…"
I finally decided on my first R C Plane, a Radian Pro. Everything I have read about this model is good, but I just read an article that recommended at least a 7 channel TX for mixing. I ordered a 6 channel Spektrum. Have I made a mistake? Should…
"Please excuse this comment, but a 2 kilo payload doesn't seem like a great payload for that large of an airplane. I assume that is full electronics package loaded and fueled."
"It looks like it has a long nose that would hold a lot of gear and fuel. Would love to do one about like that."
"I like this design, it looks very robust from the landing gear up. The motor location is in an interesting location, cooling will be very good for sure and the cargo bay looks huge. Nice."
