"I have flown my Quad within 3 feet of my Hives with no signs of the bees getting aggressive. I have also flown my Quad (and landed on) a friends hive that tends to be a bit more aggressive than average (the hive started as a captured swarm). There…"
"The problem is simple but difficult to correct. In a vertical descent the aircraft is moving through the dirty air caused by the propellers.
There is no good solution other than a slow descent rate, or some horizontal movement while descending to…"

"From the lessons I have learned from setting up a few airplanes with apm 2.5
1. without the APM installed, fly the aircraft and trim it so that it flys straight and level, tweak your linkages if needed to reduce trim. Fly multiple times to ensure…"

"I am running a Tricopter with a roll and pitch gimble.
The APM 2.5 is powered via the power module.
The Jumper is removed.
I am providing power to the output side via a BEC on CH 4 out. The BEC is from one of my ESC's.
I have servos on the output…"

"Great work. I will be using this in my own application. Thanks"
"I just pulled the trigger and ordered the Skywalker from BEVRC. It came at an extra price, I had to buy a new dishwasher for my wife. I also had another choice pay $50 for shipping or pay $50 for a FALCON EPO Fly Wing and free shipping. The choice…"
"Thanks for all of the comments.
Mark - Is the Version 3 your modified Skywalker or is it commercialy available?
After my own research and comments, looks like the Skywalker will be the way I go."

Airframe #2 - Decisions and path options I decided to follow parallel paths to my goal. The first path is to continue development on my own airframe. The second path is to use an off the shelf airframe to work on the electronics end of my…
Airframe #1 – Flight #1 – Who’s the U-boat Commander? To make a long story short…Flew, crashed and ended up floating in the irrigation ditch. After 2 weeks of 20 gusting to 50 winds I finally got a chance to fly… Winds were calm, a beautiful…
Airframe #1 - A starting point I have spent some time looking at military and non-military “drones” and have determined a direction to move in for the airframe. Currently, I am envisioning a twin tail boom airframe, a high mounted wing and a decent…
