Flying in Mexico I will be visiting Mexico in a few weeks. Can anyone tell me the rules for flying RC there? Can we use 2.4g? Any regs about flying with a camera? thanks

Has anyone flown one of these? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IK_-yTrwNtU

I have a Bumblebee and I would like to replace the FC with a NAZA. The ESCs will have to be replaced becasue as I have learned connecting stock BB ESCs to any other FC and it will only go full speed and kill everyone around it. So.... Does anyone know of an ESC that will fit in the little...

If you use any FC other than the BumbleBee FC you will have to use different ESCs. I did the same thing thinking they would work. If you fire it up it will go full throttle and kill everyone in the room.

I want to be able to sound a buzzer either by flipping a switch or in a failsafe mode. What voltage buzzer should I get. Will this work? Any suggestions?

Ok, not directly on the topic of this thread but it has been discussed here a little. Transmitting video; So if we are hobbyist until the FAA lets us legally do it for a business, then having a HAM license covers us there (Yes, No, maybe?) Once we are legal to have a business of flying our photo...

Thanks. I like the tree trimming at 3 minutes. ;)

Thanks to Chadfish for the video. I have wondered what Jello was. I have a GoPro2 and I see that effect also. I assumed it was EMF from the wires to the motors. I get it when I mount the camera out on a boom. I dont see it as much when I mount it on the gimble and it is much further from the...

Thank you Gary. This is exactly what I was looking for.

Down here people will think you are talking about the RCMP. Royal Canadian Mounted Police. ;)

Oh how we digress. But a digression in the making of porn is always a good journey. ;) I have to disagree with you on the recording of sound. Those laws vary greatly from state to state. In some states as long as one person is aware it is taking place it is legal. In some states it is as you...

I meant low height restriction. I understand the high limit of 400 ft. Sorry, I should have been clear about that. and yes, from public space or private area with permission.

This thread is very interesting and brings up several issues that I would like to see cleared up. I am not implying that I am here to clear anything up. On the contrary, I will ask many questions and answer few. I have tried to determine what if any height restriction there is for flying over...

What voice radios have produced good results for pilot to camera operator communications? There is too much lag or delay to use cell phones. I am also looking for earpieces that don't have a mic boom. VOX is a must. Back in the 80s I had a set of radios from radio shack that had VOX and an...
