"I think that they should designate zones for hobbyists where they can legally fly BVLOS... If I want to go out in the country with no one around for miles, well away from airports and houses, why should that require a license?

"The receiver inside iris has failsafe capability if it loses the signal. If you set the failsafe so that Iris will RTL on signal loss, you shouldn't lose it, even if the WIFI is turned on. My Iris didnt have this enabled by default, but now I can…"
"I think the irony is that most of this legislation was motivated to keep the federal government from "spying" on their own citizens and keeping the government from intruding on our freedoms. Instead it has the effect of the government reducing the…"
"and this is why I rejoined the AMA after a 4 year hiatus... Like it or not, the AMA is our biggest advocate in Washington right now. "
"Im actually headed there this weekend! I will have to keep an eye on the sky...
Nice work!"

"I have done some printing with Ninjaflex and some of the other flexible plastics. Its a challenge in 1.75mm, but its doable. I wound up making a guide tube between the knurled feed shaft and the entrance of my hot end to keep it from buckling. You…"
"I have tinkered with the Pi enough to know that the power filtering on the board is not that good and it is easily subject to brownouts. I would have a VERY hard time trusting this an autopilot...
or am I way off base here?"

"the AMA's recent change of heart regarding FPV and autonomous flight is the ONLY reason I renewed my membership this year after a 4 year hiatus. The AMA has always been a great organization, but the FAA had them scared to death of FPV and anything…"
"tuning P using the logs seems straightforward.... too low P value and the values will undershoot. too high, and they will overshoot or resonate around the desired value.

the zippy packs I am using now fit quite well. They are rated 5000mah and measure 145x52x25mm. There is room on either side, so this dimension would even grow, but the height of 25mm is about perfect…"

"are you flying your iris on 5s?
Mine came with a 3s3500 pack (and not a very good one) but I have been flying it with a $22 20c 3s5000 zippy pack. this gives a substantial increase in flight time and the pack still fits inside the battery bay,…"

"the good news is that I think they need a congressional bill to solidify their real roles and responsibilities with civilian unmanned vehicles and the congress in office now cant seem to get anything passed.
Hopefully the AMA will help as well.…"

"I figured it out... Apparently the cheap GAUI speed controls I was using were putting out enough RF pollution to cause the GPS to lose lock. The interesting thing is that it must be coming over the ground because if I ran the system powered by the…"
