"Sure go for it. I'm glad it's not going to waste :P."
"Adli Shahanza:
I had an issue very similar with my quad at first. Triple-check the correct wiring on the power distribution board. Make sure you have the orange and white signal wires going to the ESCs in the proper order (front, back, left and…"

"I'm glad someone is with me on this. I was starting to get lonely."

I don't think he specifically built this drone 'regarding a governmental flaw'. People are willing to spend their own hard-earned cash on the things they love to do. That's what all of us do here on DIY drones. We spend plenty of money…"

"Thanks for the video post! I didn't know about hackerspaces.org and I'm definitely going to check out the one near me."
"There's nothing illegal about what their doing. They did all their testing in isolated areas. They broke no laws.

"Put little snowboard-like skid plate on it :)."
"I like it. It does look like one of those foam Nerf footballs though :P."
"Great video! I'm glad you took some time to talk about it a bit more instead of just posting the video. It's like a smaller budget Planet Earth :)."
"Getting mass is space is not the same as getting mass outside of Earth's orbit. Sure, Russia can shoot unmanned probes outside of Earth's orbit with 1/8th of the funding as NASA. NASA is the only group that has sent humans outside of Earth's orbit,…"

"Best bet honestly is to get your hands dirty. Read through the wiki and order a APM and IMU. That worked best for me. If you're completely new to the RC scene, then start out with the cheap stuff (like the Turnigy 9X radio) and work your way up."

"The military wasn't too concerned withsecurity on the Predator drone was initially launched. Anyone with a TV tuner, a DirectTV satellite, and SkyGrabber could view the video feeds since they were unencrypted. Don't bother trying this now though,…"
