About Me:

R/C Aviator 20+ Years Fixed wing, 2 Years Rotary.....Looking to expand my horizons. Started my interest in robotics with the Basic Stamp 2 Years ago...then moved to Arduino and learing C C++ 1 Year ago, now I am jumping feet first into UAV tech combining my interests. It's all about the challenge and learning!


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

My primary reason for getting involved with UAV's at DIY Drones is for the technical challenge. However I plan on using my UAV for aerial photography and videography with perhaps eventually a FPV platform.

Nathaniel Caner commented on Andy Jensen's blog post Last-sell for many legacy 3DR product
"I don't mind the fact that 3DR is "growing up" and changing it's business model in order to keep pace with the demand and economics associated with scale-ability, I just think that if you want consumers to invest $1000+ in something you sell then…"

Nathaniel Caner commented on Andy Jensen's blog post Last-sell for many legacy 3DR product
"I'm normally a pretty staunch 3DR supporter, however I must say I am very disappointed in 3DR's decision to simply discontinue all the legacy products with no future parts support. I purchased a Y6B kit in late 2014 (October) and expected to be able…"

"Hi BC6,
I own an Emax 250 with the 1806 motors running on an CC3D board. Are you running CC3D or have you found a mini APM/Pixhawk you like?

"Isn't that in oxymoron, "sensible logic"? Well at least as far as a US bureaucracy is concerned. :)

Nathaniel Caner commented on Gary Mortimer's blog post U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx Announces Unmanned Aircraft Registration Requirement
"So basically Pilots in category #1 foot the bill to pay for educating everyone in categories #2 and #3. Nice....not. I don't think registration is a bad idea, I just don't think it's right to require me to register each and every aircraft…"

Nathaniel Caner commented on Gary Mortimer's blog post U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx Announces Unmanned Aircraft Registration Requirement
"@Tony
Not sure where you were going with that...but my point was simply that the vehicles aren't the problem. By themselves they don't pose a threat to anyone. It's the operator that puts the aircraft in harms way (fly aways aside).
Regards,…"

Nathaniel Caner commented on Gary Mortimer's blog post U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx Announces Unmanned Aircraft Registration Requirement
"As long as I don't need to register each individual aircraft accompanied by a fee, I'm ok with it. If I had to pay a registration fee for each aircraft I own, I'd go broke! I've been in this hobby for over 25 years, and as anybody who has been in…"

Nathaniel Caner replied to Christopher Jones's discussion Battery Low Voltage Alarm.
"While I agree that everyone should configure their fail safes to work as designed, personally I would hope never to use them unintentionally. For me the purpose of the audible alarms these and other battery alarms provide, is to give the operator a…"

"Technically speaking, it's not click-bait in the traditional sense. They are upfront on what the reader needs to do in order to have a chance of winning. They are however using the blog to drive people to their site, which is click-bait esque.

Nathaniel Caner replied to Christopher Jones's discussion Battery Low Voltage Alarm.
"It's really simple to adjust, simply plug in a battery then press the button repeatedly to cycle through the settings: OFF - 2.7v/cell through 3.8v/cell in 0.1v/cell increments.
This had me stumped at first too, the instructions were typical…"

"Great story P2P thanks for posting this. I live about 90 miles due West from where this took place across the lake in NY state. As a matter of fact as I'm writing this there is a story about the derailment on TV right now!
Let's hope we see more…"

"Kurt,
I can't take credit for the idea, someone here led me to the same information, paying it forward as they say! If you can't feel any additional end play, then it probably isn't a major contributor. Still worth looking at, but not likely to help…"
