diydrones vs rcgroups vs runryder

Posted by Jack Crossfire on March 24, 2008 at 6:25pm
Rcgroups & runryder definitely seemed to dry up after diydrones appeared. They're now more focused on promoting businesses while diydrones has attracted the hobbyists, but Ning really needs more organization than the Latest Activity list. Here's a robotic copter update.

Had to point into the wind for more stability. That's also where the sun is.

    Well, thats great for forums which have lots of very different topics for all different kinds of users, but at DIYDrones, all the topics seem interlinked and of great interest to me, personally.

    I would have to subscribe to all the topics regardless.

    At RCGroups and RCUNiverse I subscribe to Aerial Photo, to electronics, to UAVs, and to FPV posts...but here, I can read them all.

    The best VicaCopter media is on http://vicacopter.com/media.php

    Software image stabilization is a workaround for lack of money. Procerus & rotomotion sell realtime versions. We do it on Cinelerra offline. A proper gyro cam, heavy airframe, & commercial autopilot should always be first priority but it's an economic dream.

    Rcgroups & runryder have a subscribed topic list & a list of all topics sorted by activity. A list of all blog posts sorted by activity & subscribed blog posts would be the way to go.

    Jack,

    Do you have any suggestions for better organization? I've got some flexibility with the Ning platform (and it will continue to get better without any effort on my part)
