"A UAV launched in Scottsdale would run out of power about 1/3 of the distance to the stadium in Glendale. This rule is nutty."
"John, Did you ever get an answer to this question? I, too, would like to know what the regulations are before I head across the border."
"The article seems to be devoid of any facts. I'm glad to see members of this forum that have actually been to Kenya comment on this drek."
"Could you provide the doc file in PDF format?"
"Bill, you've helped me troubleshoot problems with other R/C issues in the past. I look forward to your posts on this transmitter. One request, please be brutally honest about this radio"
"Your suggestion to get active is the best course of action. Residents of Eu countries, one of your brethren is asking you to help - support him!"
"Nevermind. My setting on the minimOSD was NTSC and the switch on the camera was PAL. Once I switched the camera to NTSC - the problem was solved."
Anyone had a problem with this camera, where the video signal comes through without the digital overlay? But then when I jiggle the camera - I have no video signal but I CAN see the digital readout of the OSD. Problem is I can't get both the…
I was out today flying in Manual, Stabilize, RTL and Auto mode today and evertything started out OK. The Auto mission had 7 way points and a home location. The altitude of each way point is 100 meters. I started out in manual and when I reached…
I have APM 2.5, MinimOSD 1.1, Fatshark transmitter with a low pass filter for the battery connection. I configured the placement of gauges to my liking and they are showing up correctly. I'm getting a 0 to -.1 amp reading in the current meter on…
Seems as though the ratio of articles about peaceful, productive use of UAS technology to fearful, war themed, police state articles is running about 1 to 10. This one takes the time to interview people that have ideas about using them for good…
Found a neat little plastic box at "The Container Store" for 99 cents. Fits the UBlox LEA 6H in width and height perfectly. May need to stuff a foam spacer on the length wise side. Just tried it in the backyard and the GPS got a fix in about 30…
"Mike, This location is at: 33 43 36 N 111 49 23 W (East end of Jomax Rd. on the north side of Tom's Thumb in McDowell Mtn Park). Would love to fly over the McDowell Mtns, but I'm afraid of getting fined:)"
"I bought this one at DIY Drones store:

Not sure it would fit the Bixler 2. I hear that the Bixler 2 canopy is larger than Bixler 1.x, which is what I have. Question for you,…"

"Flying a Bixler ARF 1.1 w/ 30A ESC, 2200 mah lipo, 2220kv motor.
I did change modes very often as I wanted to make sure it performed as expected. Went out today with a mission programmed in and it worked well. I did have a little anxiety as it…"

I waited until I was able to get the Bixler Chassis installed before I went out on a flight with my APM 2.5+. Once I turned it on, the uBlox got position really fast. It was really windy today. I took off in manual mode, flipped the switch to…
