Does anyone know if the NPS allows multi-rotors within the parks?

Love this FPV flight by Robert McIntosh. Looks like a crash at the end. https://vimeo.com/34676743 Great piloting and cool music.

Thought I'd share some of the recent still photos I've published to the Web. After shooting with a Canon 5D and 7D for a few years, I must say I'm disappointed with the image quality from my GoPro Hero 2. I hope to be flying a Cinestar 8 someday. On the other hand, I am well aware that given...

Interesting, especially at about the 23 minute mark http://youtu.be/20JCGDwBt7A

I want two more batteries for my DJI 550. I currently use a couple of Pulse 6600mHa batteries (one at a time) I get about ~9 min flight times with my light landing gear and the GoPro mounted. I'm considering ( 2) Turnigy 5000 mHa from HobbyKing.com but after reading about HobbyKing on...

As users of RC craft capable of aerial photography and video, how will we know when the FAA makes a ruling on the use of or RC or UAV's for commercial aerial photography? Where are these laws and regulations on the web? Thanks in advance for any help.

I've been flying my DJI 550 for a few weeks now using the 2 Pulse 6600 mHa 4S batteries I have. (1 at a time) These cost me $129.00 each. They are heavy batteries. I get about 10 minutes flying time with a total weight of about 5 lb, ~2260 grams (aerial photography w GoPro) I want a couple...

For Sale: Pheonix RC 4 Flight Simulation ( used ) This RC flight Simulator hooks directly to your radio (if your radio has a trainer port) Works with most Spectrum and other brands. I bought this new for $129.00 just a few weeks ago and I no longer need it. I'm willing to sell it for...

Trying to figure out how to get my Hyperion 720i charger to get my Pulse 6600 mha battery at the proper storage voltage. The charger manual is not very clear, especially about "store". Up until this point I've been using my batteries within and hour or so after charging. I run then them down...

Trying to accomplish my first flight with my recently built DJI 550. The craft wants to lift off at varying angles and not come up straight. I have not had a successful take off yet. Flipped it over a couple of times. :-( I know there are lots of variables which could be causing this. Props...

Before my first flight, I'll be installing Graupner props on my DJI-550. The prop bores need to be opened up to the 8MM size of the motor shafts. A 5/16 drill should do the trick. 5/16= .312" and 8MM = .314" I have a small vise on my drill press to hold the prop in place while drilling, so as...

Hi, I'm new to RC and I'm in the process of building my DJI 550. I won't use the supplied props. I have a set of Graupner 1326.9x5. I have a battery which I think will be too heavy. It is a Pulse 4S 35C 6600 mAh. (this battery was given to me and it's brand new) ( battery= 737 grams) I...

I'm new to this forum and I joined because I plan to buy a multi-rotor for aerial photography and video. I hope to make money at this. I've been making money via the sale of my stock images for over 10 years, although that income is only supplemental to my other sources of income. The...
