"Looks like a QAV.
Naked GoPro only? No stabilization gimbal? No redundancy? How heavy is this? Flight time? How well does it cope in a crash?
I would think that something called a Cine Tank would both carry a higher quality camera, have video…"

"Hey LanMark, none of the things you're talking about (distance or altitude limits) would have any affect should the hardware itself lock-up. As was the case with my 3DR gear. A bug which we reproduced on video, a bug which subsequently was buried…"
I was done with this site but as per the commitment I made in my last post I'm back to question it's deletion. I believe I specifically pondered in that post how long it would stay active, I guess about a week is the time limit for dissent and Top…
"I guess it looks bad when all of the top content links to safety concerns. o_O"
"You just missed Kevin Finisterre... you two should have had beers. You know that is his turf."

Ok, I'm just going to cut to the chase here... I bought into this gear because of what I thought it would/could do and as everyone should know by now I lost my quad on day-2.My intentions for building this thing in the first place was that I wanted…
"I'll just repost part of my reply in the other thread as its relevant and apparently was glossed over::
"It is entirely down to the operator to examine their airframe and airfield and select an appropriate response to loss-of-signal.

"I know this thread has finally died down, but I wanted to post a relevant thread for anyone who may find this one in the future. It would appear as though the Turnigy 9x was NOT to blame and that the fly-away was directly caused by the APM.…"
"So to be clear - I bought the kit from DIY, as-is, and what came with it is what I used.
I specifically bought this kit BECAUSE of all the safety/auto shit that's included, but didn't enable or investigate for any maiden flights.
Now that I know…"

I finally bit the bullet and ordered the 3DR kit. #excited I should preface all of this with the fact that I'm not a hardware guy, software guy, r/c guy, hax0r extraordinaire, FAA commander, or anything that would make me particularly qualified --…
