"Drone regulations in Europe generally are more strict but I still fly all over Europe. I just avoid Urban areas and places where drones are prohibited.
In the US noone will trouble you if you do likewise. I do think Urban areas are a bad idea but…"

"You are over thinking this. This is a tiny, tiny quadcopter. I fly a lot in the USA and I assure you if you do not fly where it is prohibited you will be fine. As for insurance, forget it. If you belong to the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) in…"
"Just avoid crowds and Urban areas and you will be fine. Do not use it in National Parks and check State Parks. But basically noone is going to care much as long as you are sensible."
"Dragonlink v3 does all of that with full bi directional Mavlink. 12 channels. If you get the 1.5W RX you can also have 40km of range. Not DIY though. Google ULRS if you want DIY. Roger Ronald said:

"If you are in the US get an XUAV x2 from mrobotics."
"Pity the URUS stuff was removed. I did not realize that. I wish the mods were just open about why this happened. I think it had little to do with stated reasons but likely the level of paranoia I saw. Why not just be upfront about it."
"Hiroshi, you are not being paranoid. They are out to get you !!
Relaxez-vous. Please."

"This is a very nice looking system. Well done.
Please do tell about camera integration. Are you capturing the shutter sync signal?"

"Thanks Charles. BTW: This is a Parrot Disco! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1Fpq4inefg
They are now available for $399 (clearance basically), down from $1300 on launch. They are a perfect candidate for 4G control. And you confirmed what I have…"

"Charles -- not sure if you are monitoring this thread. Can you take a look at this video and specifically the technical comments and advise if you think there is a data carrier (Verizon/T Mobile) whose 4G modem that could work with this setup. I…"
"You can easily fit a Pixracer. A 200g camera will make this plane heavy. It will fly. This is not a good mapping platform for serious applications. It will be knocked around in the wind. Too small. "
"Well I educated myself! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calibrated_airspeed
The question is would Arduplane benefit from having calibrated airspeed available?"

"Brilliant work. I love it. How did you design that without cutting your bixler to get the profile shape? Please tell. I want to do something similar with a Bixler 3. Is there a reason you did not choose a bixler 3? My objective is to have easily…"
"Combined telemetry and rc links are a compromise in terms of performance of course. TBH OPlink has not been a great performer for me and others and has not been developed for some time. I would not select it for a controller now. Dragonlink has the…"
"I see. Your price is fair enough. Good luck. It is a niche product. But I would think it would be great as a backup for someone that already has one."
