"I'm having a really hard time believing they take stable video. "
"I'm not going to argue that you can do it.. the military does it...it's just a silly idea if a faster and cheaper analog system exists. I've flown an AR drone before. That was highly unpleasant experience. I have a 600L NTSC camera on my machine.…"
"The military drones have serious video lag. It's one of the reasons why the events of "Black Hawk Down" happened. They also have very very good autopilot systems. I would say that if you want to transmit HD you need an HD transmitter. Most…"
"As far as I know there is not an option for an HD analog system. You just have to use two cameras. Sorry. It's just one of the issue we have to deal with. It is really the best way. "
"As a scientist this is not an acceptable test.
1) We don't know anything about the video systems other than power. Are the frequencies standardized? Are the Antennas standardized?
2) There is no measure of video lag. You cannot say anything…"

"I think I already said that if one was using one of these devices on a pre-programmed route it would be "acceptable" .... there are a lot of folks that think these are suitable for normal FPV and that just isn't the case. The AR drone is proof of…"
"The debate about sending a signal digitally for FPV has been had a number of times. The consensus is unless you are willing to tolerate a significant time lag (e.g. you are flying a pre-programmed drone) do not attempt it. This is very unlikely to…"
"I believe the original batch of X-8's were made of EPP. Most people seemed like they were very unhappy about this. If you contact bev-rc you might be able to find an EPP model in stock. I know no one seemed to want one in that material. "
"I think they are talking about in relation to balsa planes. Still it is good to see the x-8 a few dollars cheaper. conventionally they cost about 240$ to get from BEV-RC. One thing people have to realise about these things is that they are huge.…"
"I do airsoft as well, so I'm very close with the gun crowd. There is a huge amount of immaturity among gun owners, but you would really really have to try very hard to piss one off enough for them to start firing on your drone. Yes, they are…"
"I also don't see this as much of a risk. There is the odd trigger happy redneck in my area, but honestly .... I don't think I'm at any risk of being shot down anytime soon. I can see a risk if I was flying in my backyard in a populated area, but…"
"If a person wants to shoot down my drone he/she has the freedom to start up his own website calledwww.DIYantiaircraft.com where him and other anti-drone and pro-privacy guys can gather to produce open source solutions to the drone menace not limited…"
"WANT ! "
"Better yet write "free candy" on the side. Either way. Nothing of any value."
"I hate these videos. Put a real child up there or don't post it. "
"Bixler/Skysurfer/Easystar or Skywalker are the first two planes you should think about owning. Both are good. You should have nothing to do with a fiber body until you have a lot of experience. "
