    Pilot reports mystery black ‘drone’ at JFK

    Could you please post the video. I think it's a good idea to see what this video is showing. The lights flashing and all is very good for DJI owners, but we have to remember that there is more than one one system out there and they all used there own methods and lighting patterns. I think it is...

    IMU Calibration

    I did this with my unit and it still didn't work with IMU calibration. Mine was so bad that I could tilt the Hex by 45 degrees and the drift didn't change at all, my calibration didn't even respond to any kind of movement the calibration didn't even work period. I think what you've mentioned is...

    Pilot reports mystery black ‘drone’ at JFK

    So what do you think Admin? Can we pin a Preflight checklist to the "New Member's Intro Page" Some basic rules, how to perform preflight, post-flight checks and general good flying practices. I'd be willing to contribute a little something. If anyone likes I can post the Transport Canada Staff...

    Pilot reports mystery black ‘drone’ at JFK

    Well said Helloman. I do the same. This is something we can put out as the steps we take. People trust planes now because of the flight checks, regular maintenance and the hoped competence of pilots. Just letting the public know that serious UAV pilots do the same is helpful our cause. After...

    Beautiful work Kari. Is that done on the Cinestar?

    Pilot reports mystery black ‘drone’ at JFK

    I agree with Helloman. So moving along. Is there a way that we as a community, can turn this negative image around for ourselves. Can we create a responsible group or attach ourselves to the AMA and MAAC. I'm a MAAC member and fly at some AMA fields every year. (I use the term "community"...

    Pilot reports mystery black ‘drone’ at JFK

    Great experience with the buzzards. I agree with you about the education system. I grew up in Florida. Because I stuttered and had dyslexia I was put in a school for the the mentally handicapped. When I was 17 I moved back to Canada and worked in a dump, taught myself to read and at 24 moved to...

    Pilot reports mystery black ‘drone’ at JFK

    I worry about the same thing. I think we need to band together and have an international multirotor club one with rules like AMA and MAAC and have insurance to fly at multirotor fields. I know Transport Canada is talking about licensing and I think this is a good idea. It can push out the wing...

    Helicopter versus Multirotor for Aerial Photography

    I just got offered an Amazing deal on a Burgen Intrepid EB with Ace One. I love my multirotor anx have been thinking of building a larger one. But this 800 sized heli looks too good to pass up. Anyone know how this works for video work?

    Pilot reports mystery black ‘drone’ at JFK

    We have an idiot here who got a prebuilt F550 Didn't want to wait for the GPS to calibrate and just took off flying. Something happened and he lost perspective, apparently put it in RTL and it just flew away. Gone! Some guy saw it fly over his house and filmed it with is smart-phone, saw the...

    Pilot reports mystery black ‘drone’ at JFK

    Remember the good old days (like 2 years ago) when we would fly fly around a buddies cottage or some vacant sand dunes or through the forest. I remember building my quad and using the Open Pilot Copter control board and learning all the settings and what it all ment. Now any F~<king idiot can...

    IMU Calibration

    It's really up to you. It should fly just fine if the board is working properly. However, if you are going to mount the board on a non-horizontal surface then yes you will need to calibrate the IMU. But if you are mounting it on a Horizontal surface than give it a try. If it drifts, Calibrate...

    I have the same gimbal and hate it so much. It was cheap but I find I have to add a ton of post stab.

    Which gimbal is this? Is there any post-stab added?

    IMU Calibration

    OK, Wow, that's a strange one. If you are using a gimble than I'd use a Bec. I have a bec supplying power to my roll and pitch servos. Well, I hope the new Naza fixes your prob, but if you had the same prob on two different machines than it must be the Naza, or maybe the GPS. I sure you...
