Hi,I'm looking to read and learn more about how video transmission works for UAVs. I'm specifically interested in learning more about the types of protocols that are used to transmit video over radio to a base station.Is there any information you…
"Haha Chris that link is hilarious!!"
"That's great news Chris. I'm excited for what this will mean for 3DR and the drone community as a whole."
"Okay perfect.
So yes your calculations are correct. If a tricopter was flying exactly like you have drawn, where the servo motor is at the exact angle $\alpha$ to balance out the the moment in the z axis, the triopter would have a single force in…"

"I can help you out. But first I want you to draw a full tricopter diagram so that way I can better explain it to you by referencing your own figure.
So draw a tricopter from a top down. Include all the the prop rotations, the resulting moments, and…"

"Interesting. I notice he focuses on zoning over commercial areas. I wonder what residential areas would look like zoning wise. I believe very few non-RC people would want any sort of UAV flying between 30 and 700 feet above their homes. That means…"
