I call "Uncle"... When I fly for ABC/ Disney, they call us the "Drone" crew.... so I accept your logic.... Commercial Drone???? Professional Drone??? Plastic POS drone???? Oops.... I've gone bonkers!!!! Happy Holidays group!!!

John.... I concur as stated in my earlier posting "I hate the "Drone" label.... It makes me think of a kid in the backyard with a plastic quadcopter.... Small UAS/ sUAS/ Multicopter/ Aerial Video Platform/ Aerial Photography/ Videography..... something that sounds a bit more professional." Drone...

Mach, My suggestion is simple.... Leave the engineering to the professionals unless you have the experience or education to design a safe aircraft. Otherwise you will spend a lot of money and time beta testing your designs. Do research on several airframe/ aircraft manufacturers and contact them...

This forum needs to obtain a Pixhawk 2 and do a complete article on this FC with testing & set-up videos!!!! You want content..... This would be awesome content!!!! Ranting again....

I come & check here regularly, but the vast majority of our clients (Pro Level users/ Part 107 pilots) have moved to Facebook Closed Groups that limit conversations to group related topics. I believe the "Group" that started the old MRF with Bart are now focused on building businesses based on...

Please make certain that all firmware.. Especially the RX in DJI assistant are up to date. RX should be at 1.1. I have 8 aircraft that use the A2 with "real" Spektrum satellites and DX8 and DX9 TX and all has worked flawlessly for years. For spektrum, you can only us the satellite connections...

two pounds (=/- 1000 grams) is not much payload. The challenging part is to figure out all of the item weights that comprise the total aircraft or all under weight (AUW). Things usually ended up heavier than the calculation would prove out. There are many things you need to consider. Have you...

So I have started a poll to define the current opinions on what standard is preferred for aircraft lighting and orientation color markings. Now that part 107 is issuing COA for night flights, I wish to see how the community feels about the preferred standards for aircraft lighting. Choice 1...

WKM & A2 are being flown on thousands of aircraft without issue. I have had several myself and still fly them. If you are experiencing a Roll over at power up, then something is set-up incorrectly. When setting up a WKM or A2, there are many things that need to be done by the user to make it...

For T-Motor the recommended products are on the T-Motor specific motor page with all of the accessories at the bottom of the page. For KDE they state the ESC pairing at the top of the page. If you are looking at other brands, I recommend that you contact the Mfg. and ask for a tested or proven...

With all of the new small camera bodies... like the Sony A6300.... there are MANY midsized aircraft options that do high end stills & 4K video.... Contact Vulcan... they have a strong presence in the UK..... they should be able to help you dial it in.... Consider the Gremsey H3 gimbal.....

I am really loving all of the advancements in HD video downlinks.... It just keeps getting better.... Connex.... I'm liking all of your new offerings.... your really making this industry move forward...

I am a BIG advocate of using & recommending mfg. matched or recommended pairings. I am not saying this to be difficult, but rather from experience. Each mfg. has specific differences on how they approach timing, esc refresh rates & waves. Funny enough when you have been around as long as some of...
