Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I grew up on a corn and soybean farm in Illinois that my dad still operates. I joined the air force after high school and flew to 72 different countries as a C-17 loadmaster. After getting out of the service, I chose to get a bachelors degree from SIUE in geospatial information systems. As we learned GIS fundamentals and techniques, we studied remote sensing and it's real world applications. Once I graduated and got a job as a lock and dam operator on the Mississippi River working a swing shift schedule, I decided it was time for me to purchase a UAV to start my own precision ag/remote sensing operation.

I have a gently used cabbage case for sale. I crashed the plane I used to house in this case and moved to a larger frame that will not fit. The box was originally bought for an event38 e384 (1900mm wingspan and 1300mm length) but I bought a sky…

Hi, I bought a quanum 2axis gimbal for a Samsung nx1100 but I can't identify the board. The one they show on the website shows a simplebgc but that's definitely not what this is. I tried flashing new firmware and seemed to brick it. I suspect it is…
"Due to the mii scattering effect of blue light, it is going to be difficult to normalize a ngb image from the day to day. I suggest trying to use a calibration board to normalize the nir and green bands and hope the variations in blue light received…"
"Posting from a phone. The exclamation was supposed to be a question mark. Hah"
"Thanks for the input. Yes I've been plagued with compass variance and mag issues since the beginning. I'm beginning to wonder if the sensor is bad? Any suggestions on testing it's operational status!"
"Are those ESC's OPTO or do they have built in BEC?"
"As for building your own, there is a TON of information you'll have to learn way before you're able to successfully fly a mission as you describe. If you're looking for a all in one solution that is pre-programmed to do just what you're asking,…"
"I did just switch propellers. I went to a thread on dji 9450 and the CCW props felt kind of tight threading on (no I didn't crossthread them), but it's VERY possible something happened with that since it was the only thing I changed on my rig…"
