    Drone and rescue chopper nearly collide as drone crashes mount

    This is not an issue of taking work from each other. It's simple common sense that a seemingly large percentage of our species lack. If you have ever been in a helicopter and saw a flock of birds you would know the feeling these guys might have felt seeing a UAV next to them. It's a lot...

    F450 legs and gps holder?

    I do a flat rate international shipping of $18. Im curious why the GPS holder has become so popular. It seems it adds un-needed weight. What's wrong with the standard carbon pole Dji includes? Or just mount it direct to the frame?

    F450 legs and gps holder?

    I've been making them since day one. Do I dare call them "the original" leg and batwing?? Anyways, I always keep them in stock since they go so fast. http://www.irisaerial.com/products.html

    Choosing a flight controller

    I'd pull names from a hat. Seriously though, if you were thinking of writing software for a controller you will be best with the APM. I've never owned it but from what I have read and heard it is pretty versatile at a good price and is nice and small. They just arent as easy to setup as say...

    $30K Mistake

    Would be good to know what went wrong if something other than pilot error.

    XAircraft SuperX on heavy lifter

    My personal experience which is mostly all coaxials, is that the alignment is not so critical that being a degree off changes much. but I know there are many that will disagree with that. I have had much more noticeable results from balancing props/motors and/or changing props. After all this...

    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS is much better now

    My first controller was from Xaircraft and it bombed on me mid flight. I then went to DJI and wasnt overly thrilled though it was the best I had up to that point. Then I went Hoverfly pro and was so happy there was a superior USA made unit that was bullet proof and dead reliable. But their...

    XAircraft SuperX coaxial X8?

    I realize that. The point is that if it can accommodate an asymmetrical quad I see no reason it wouldn't work with 8 motors since the other 4 are in the same location respectively.

    XAircraft SuperX coaxial X8?

    From what I understood it didnt like the asymmetrical XY8 config but was ok with a Y6 or X8. Which is weird because they have their own model with asymmetrical arms.

    What would be your ideal heavy-lift AP machine?

    Nice Bart! I'm jealous. Do the telescoping arms twist at all? It would be great if there was an oval carbon fiber that sleeved.

    GH4 Arial footage

    According to the interview with Zacuto ,done very recently, the Panasonic rep said he could edit 4k on his core2duo. I think 4k coming out of a RED or BMPC is a lot different. the bitrate is only 100Mb/s so its nothing near the rates coming out of some of the real pro cameras. And thats not...

    I did a News Interview this morning, Video

    Yeah man, no one is knocking you. You did well. Just think of it like parents telling you to use a condom. Kinda annoying even though you know it's true. If we were all in the same room we would be shaking your hand.

    Aluminum arms for dji flamewheel frames

    thats friggin insane! I've never flown more than 12 minutes with my f450 and a 5500 4s. kloner, what heli does that flight time? obviously 6s and large props.

    Hoverfly Something BIG coming soon!

    I think it's very possible that someone will come out with a direct servo drive that has excellent stability AND can quickly adapt to varying weights and off balanced cameras. But the fact is that Hoverfly chose to post footage that was comparable to not having a gimbal at all. They are not...

    I did a News Interview this morning, Video

    I was more worried by the APC thin's. Next to Graupners those props will do the most harm. Perhaps for public situations like this there should at least be some guards on the tips or props that snap off when they come in contact? Dunno. I'm not out to give you a hard time. It's not just...

    Twin Red Epic 3D gimbal made and flown....

    I guess that answers my question if you used 2 motors on 1 axis if they would work together. That's just too much money in the air for my nerves.
