Isaac Sloan commented on Quadrocopter's blog post Hobby King does it again!!
"@swift @Artem It flies pretty nice but I haven't put any equipment in yet. One of the first things I did probably inspired by the HK promo was to barrel roll it a few times on an assent. I think I might have even gotten it tighter than in the video.…"

Isaac Sloan commented on Simon Kerr's blog post Concerns about lack of UAV regulation in New Zealand - complete with sensationalist headline.
"I don't think it would be terrible if some sort of regulation such as the FCC has imposed on Amateur Radio would be a bad idea. Pretty much just have people take a test on rules and prove that they can fly and get licensed. I've been a Ham Radio…"

"It was quite windy today so I can't say for certain but I remember the RVJET being more stable at cruise speed. All in all I'd just say its a different plane. It handles better in some area's and worse in others. I don't think its really anymore of…"

Isaac Sloan commented on Quadrocopter's blog post Hobby King does it again!!
"I got to fly the RVJET a couple months ago and it basically reminded me of an X8 that didn't suck as a plane (great payload and handled well). I just received the Go Discover from the US warehouse and got to fly it for about 5 minutes before it…"

"What and ass! He's probably just mad that he crashed his Phantom. If I can't fly then nobody can!"

Isaac Sloan commented on Bill Bonney's blog post Welcome to Taranis!
"I think we're looking at different manuals. The opentx one seems to be more informative. Oh well.I also got the 1800 LiFePO4 battery but will have to get some sort of adapter or a 2s balance plug to solder on. I had an adapter for servo plug to 2s…"

Isaac Sloan commented on Bill Bonney's blog post Welcome to Taranis!
"Are you sure that 9.6v packs can be charged in the Taranis? In my experiment they only ended up charging to 1.357v per cell. Versus 1.453v that the same cells charge to in an Eneloop charger. From the Taranis Manual: 
PLEASE NOTE: The radio has an…"

"Does anyone have a pids file for this platform? I think I have it pretty close but this is the first wing I've setup with ardupilot and I probably did something wrong."

Isaac Sloan commented on Murat Piker's blog post check out Parrot's new drone
"I talked them at CES. Definately 20k. I also saw a 550 quad that was going for 50k. Sort of blew me away."

Isaac Sloan commented on Jason Short's blog post Arducopter 2.7 Auto-Flip
"Not quite an acrobatic but I would love to see a fast/stable descent feature. The PIDs for stable hover and climb are much lower than the PIDs for stable descent. "

Isaac Sloan commented on Gary McCray's blog post Using a DJI 450 FlameWheel Quadcopter with the APM
"Gary: just to clarify the graupner 10x5 are already 8mm hubs. No need to bore them. They work great on dji motors. That one English company I linked is the cheapest place I've found to buy them at about 8 dollars a prop they also sell them in sets…"

Isaac Sloan commented on Gary McCray's blog post Using a DJI 450 FlameWheel Quadcopter with the APM
"Tim: To answer your question. I can easily carry a gopro as well as a 6000mah 4S battery on mine. It comes to almost 1500 grams and I can still climb at 15 feet per second on a charged battery. I'm using stock motors and esc's from dji but I've…"
