"Gary:It's in evidence, as seen from this story, that the Federal Gov't (FAA) wasn't the entity that was addressing "imaginary horrors of their own making", they are an entity that has to respond to concerns of all the…"
"Gary / Ernst,
thanks for the link for the safety vests. Those are brilliant (*no pun intended?*). I have been trying to find a cost-effective UAV fashion for some time, and those are just what I was imagining.
Gary,
although I agree that…"
"Federal over-reach, got it. Yeah, that seems the fashionable boogie-man lately. Boogie-woman?, hmmmm
We cannot address all the boogie men in y'all's closet. FAA vs. volunteer SAR was the question posed."
"My point: a person could volunteer with a SAR effort within the US controlled airspace withOUT a 107. That decision of whether he/she is walking a grid with a flashlight or participating in UAV operations is left to the PO that is in…"
"I concur with that assessment by the FAA
SAR is not a 'hobby'. Any lost person search effort should be coordinated by a public governmental entity tasked for that responsibility; i.e., fire dept, police dept, parks services.…"

"Hello everybody!
I would like to use the stabilization provided by Mini Apm Pro for a servo gimbal. Which pins can I use? Which settings I have to do in Mission Planner?
Thank you!"
"Well, it all depends on how fast you fly and how often you're willing to replace motors. These little brushless wonders are only good for 1 to 2 hours total. If you push a 35C battery with a hotter motor, you're sure to puff…"
"I recommend using high quality batteries like these from Turnigy: https://hobbyking.com/en_us/graphene-750mah-1s-w-2pin-molex-connector.html
Also, I like the separate receiver unit for FrSky. I went with the long-antenna version here:…"
