"@dr marty "uh Jamie". I don't need your condescending tone. The FAA does not regulate commerce.
The FAA is dragging their feet because they are a bureaucratic behemoth. Simple common sense rules. Based on their recommendations for hobbyists could…"

"To reiterate in my case everything was as it should be, props installed correctly. Based on the newer specs for the X8 from 3DR I can see that my suspicions about the batteries and the IMU were correct. They have both been upgraded. Too bad I am…"
"There isn't actually an enforceable maximum ceiling. If I am on top of a 8,000 ft mountain can I still fly? The FAA is reaching and they know it. They cannot restrict commercial use of a UAS. They can establish reasonable safety regulations and…"
"I've been flying Phantom 1 and 2 for about 18 months a relative newbie. I also have a X8 3dr. As much as I am rooting for 3D robotics, DJI is hands down the easier and more stable to fly multi copter. The Naza M V2 is a beautifully designed IMU…"
" @ ICOBJ "Anyone who really wanted a high quality drone to take on a risky mission like this wouldn't use a phantom or similar."
Sorry I have a low tolerance for BS disparaging remarks about a beautifully engineered quad like the Phantom. I have…"

"Look I don't mean to be argumentative, but the analogy does hold.
And if you do connect two buckets "in parallel" with say a 13mm pipe connected between them, the holes size between them would make no difference accept in the rate of…"

"Ok, why if both batteries were freshly charged would that it make any difference? They would seek the same electrical potential and then discharge together. After all no two batteries are ever identical. It's like two different sized water buckets,…"
"Hi so my crazy idea is to build a dirigible. The basic design would use a geodesic dome built with carbon fiber struts. I would use gas bags either helium or hydrogen filled. Lightweight fireproof fabric covering, Extending from the dome would be…"
"Was using a 4S 65 C 4000mah GenesisPower and a 4S 1500 mah 25C Zippy in parallel. The Genesis died. Honestly the Genesis was lent to me and I don't know it's history, but it charged up fine. The Zippy survived but I was lucky as I pulled it down way…"
"Nice,a new user with almost the same setup I can see how much I need to know. I can't keep mine in the air for more than 5 minutes right now."
"I do agree that we are in the Apple II era of autonomous vehicles of all kinds. These hovering ones I love flying have a huge advantage over land based craft as they live in the 3D world with ease. I am actively developing solutions for the Real…"
First is anybody else flying the X8? I bought mine RTF to do Aerial vids with a Hero 3D rig. I bought an brushless RCTIMER ASP 2-Axis Nex-GH5 . It was fairly easy to get a sound install and finally figure out how to power up the gimbal and it's…
"Daniel. I have just purchased a brushless gimbal kit RCTIMER ASP 2-Axis Nex-GH5 Series Brushless Gimbal from UAVObjects. I am not confident I have soldered up the motors in the correct wiring order or that I understand how to wire it to the APM…"
"Yes where do you get it?"
