About Me:

I started to look into few years ago. Now I'am one of the resellers of drones in Lithuania. My goal is to build my own drone sometime. So here I'am.


Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

I think I'am one of those who thinks that UAV technology will be made more and more practical in our every day lifes. In some way I want to be a part of making them more popular and practical.

"I doubt that that buying another drone or changing company will change the attitude of the user. 
Yesterday I've had a chance to look into the Ph4. Decided that my other drone will be Hex or X8 custom drone based on Pixhawk(2). 
So far I'am very…"

Sigitas Ciapas replied to Justin M's discussion I'm ready to drop 3DR, go with DJI in IRIS
"Knowing about DJI low quality control I would suggest you to choose 3DR Solo. 
I was visiting a friend yesterday who builds UAVs and makes repairs. A lot of faulty Ph3s in there... 
Solo is way more robust built and modular. So repairs won't cost…"

Sigitas Ciapas replied to Donovan Silver's discussion Beginner drone options?
"Why not buying 3DR IRIS+ or buy X8 quad kit parts (Legs, Body, Landing) and set it up with Pixhawk by ardupilot wiki and load parameters?
