Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest

New to UAVs, just assembled my R10 quad via the Kickstarter project... UPDATE - I've also build a 3DR quad and hex with APM 2.5 and telemetry. Loving this hobby!

"For what it's worth, I went out tonight and bought a Galaxy Tab 4 so I could try out Droidplanner. I've never used an android device, and like most guys, pulled the tablet out and turned it on and proceeded to try to connect without reading any…"

Hey everyone. In the past I've built a couple quads and hexes from 3DR using APM2.5. I recently bought the RTF X8. I didn't choose to include radio and receiver but instead to use the DX8 I already have. The X8 came in, I did the minimal assembly…

"I've never used an Android device, just curious how the telemetry board and antenna plugs into the tablet. Do they come equipped with USB? I'd love to be able to take something as small as a tablet to use instead of a bulky laptop."

Ty replied to Ty's discussion 3DR Video/OSD troubleshooting steps
"After some troubleshooting with Joshua from 3DR, it appears the 5v and video signal wires were reversed on my cable. If you ordered the 3DR Video Kit, be sure to check your cable before turning on!"

Ty commented on AKRCGUY's blog post The Phantom Has Competition Now $496.99 RTF
"I saw a review of E-Flite's Apprentice airplane (with the same SAFE technology) on Flite Test's YouTube page. The SAFE technology features worked really well!"

I am tidying up my hex, making room for my video transmitter. I am going to put the video transmitter on the top layer of my stack. My telemetry board and antenna are on the top layer as well. To avoid crowding, I was going to mount my GPS module on…

Ty replied to Ty's discussion New APM 2.5 has pink foam...
"Thanks for the replies. Is the foam something I can pick up at Radio Shack and cut myself?"

Just got another APM 2.5 in the mail today. This one appears to have a piece of pink foam inside the case. My original APM 2.5 did not have this foam. Is this something new? Does it need to come out? If not, do I need a piece in my older APM…

"Hi. As of right now, there are 114 pages and 1367 replies to this thread. Getting overwhelming and hard to follow. Was wondering if there was any chance a new Arducopter 3.0 Category could be created so that individual issues could have their own…"

Ty replied to Ty's discussion Compass interference still high
"As you can see in the pics, I have a 3DR radio attached above the APM. Will this contribute to the mag field?
Also, would it help if I mounted the ESCs to the bottom of the arms rather than the sides?"
