Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I am interested in working with kids on the autism spectrum to build and fly quadrotors for several purposes; 1) as an opportunity to socialize with peers, 2) to see the world from a different perspective using mounted cameras, FPV and OSD, and 3) develop technical skills that may offer employment options down the road.

All,I successfully performed several flights without incident only to have the Iris+ come down very quickly between the 4th and 5th waypoints. It sort of looks like a failsafe landing due to low battery but I can't confirm. Would love any…
"Which line is the 5V power wire in the DJI ESC?"
"Thanks a bunch Mike!"
"No responses via this forum I'm afraid. I am in the process of doing this project but I've been making pretty slow progress. My primary research right now is whether I can run the 6 stock DJI ESC's (and DJI stock motors) into the 3DR Hex Power…"
"@Mauricio - I'd love to see a sample SFOC and how you've dealt with that."
"Thanks Jay."
I have been successfully flying a DJI Flamewheel F550 with a Naza controller, DJI stock motors/ESCs, etc for about a year now. I love it. However, I'm interested in autonomous flight utilizing waypoints and flight planning software. Because of…
All,I did some searching through the forums and couldn't quite pin down the info I'm looking for. Feedback requested. I'm looking for suggestions for a brushless gimbal that can house a DSLR camera such as the Samsung NX210 or Sony NEX5. I fly a…
"Still waiting on the funding to come through from KickStarter (they say it takes about 2 weeks) but we're making progress on several other fronts; organizing parents and defining project components that meet the needs of the kids and practicing on…"
"Joshua - Thanks for passing this along! I hadn't seen it and it's very interesting. I did some more digging on the authors of the research and intend to reach out to them. Thank you! I guess we all respond better when there is an intense level…"
"Oliver - thank you so much for posting this. Very good stuff. I haven't any experience on that front yet (just learning to fly) but I'm building a hexa soon and would like to take it to this level.
I'm curious, how are you operating the 2 servos…"

"thanks for sharing Richard. It looks just like we talked about. How do you know the TV won't blue screen when the signal is weak? What brand is it?"
"Any footage that show people's expressions and comme RS as they experience the process. Do you have anything like that?"
"FWIW - There is a really nice overview of FPV issues in the RCGroups.com forum for FPV with the title 'How to be successful in FPV'. Might be too beginner-ish for some but there is A LOT of good content there in a series of videos.
I'd also be…"

I'm looking for video of people experiencing FPV (either via watching the heads up display on a laptop and/or using goggles like the FatShark). What would be even better is if that person then comments on what it was like. Does anyone have video…
"A local radio show on National Public Radio was doing a show on drone use int he US and the government's perspective on how to use that technology to stop terrorism. Lots of good discussion on privacy issues, limits of government, etc. After…"
