Welcome Jim from Mass. I will throw out another option for you too. Buy yourself a DJI 550 and learn to fly. That is a great ship and building it, flying it and crashing it will teach you tons. When you get fairly confident you can easily fly a Hero2 and have lots of fun and get good training...

That is awesome Feridnand. Such an impressive gimble. Money is currently being put aside for mine :) Looks like a gorgeous place to fly too.

Kloner that would be the lens, try and answer a few other of your ques too. you will be happy, you will need hdmi converter for fpv, it is 14.2 Mega Pix vs 16.1 on the 5n (I probably could not tell the difference, especially whilst high speed flying on the front of your wing) That 16mm is a...

thanks - hmmmm a smart phone as remote shutter and view finder?

Kloner I was in the same boat recently. I know the Canon stuff ok but I wanted to get a sony nex. Here is a review I read prior to choosing the 5n - it has a good explanation of things. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonynex5n Also, it seems they are about to come out with another version. I...

there are some great video online to help you out as well. one of my favorites is from patrick at aerial media pros. it is a 550 build - hexa not quad (same setup as you have just 2 more motors) but it is super informative and i bet it would help you. good luck and keep us informed. Aerial...

To date I have not had 1 single problem with my DJI 8 inch props on a stock 550. I have seen lots of problems related to 10" and a few 8". I would not try 10" DJI but my 8" perform real well. I have been thru several sets now, basically because I have abused them. I just replace em when I chip...

Kloner i started working on a RC project with my new station today. My sons RC crawler getting a new motor, and batteries on top of front axle. Station seems to work perfect. I am thinking you will like it. I am not going to throw away my old solder gun though, it is quite a bit more portable...

did a bit of research and stepped up my solder station last month. ended up buying a digital weller from amazon. it seemed to get some great reviews and parts for it are readily available. I had a very basic setup prior to this and did not really realize what i was missing. So far I have only...

This looks interesting. Says range is 100 feet. None the less, I think I might have to check this out..... http://cheesycam.com/flashpoint-8-hdmi-lcd-wireless-remote-shutter/

To tall that is certainly interesting to think about. i always chalked up the added power needed with forward flight on a MR to...the SRH blade makes for 1 big wing generating lift. instead of the numerous props on a MR. As the heli moves forward more lift is generated from said wing. Not sure I...

Kilby I did a bit of research and ended up ordering a 16mm pancake two days ago, to fly with. Will post some pics in a couple days. For those extra wide ground shots, you might consider some stitching software as well like Hugin. I have been having lots of fun with it lately. Here is an Hugin...

+1 on kloners recommendation. Patrick is a great guy, lots of skills, lots of knowledge - customer service top notch.

Kloner if you can get your wing to fly straight and level, you are lightyears ahead of me. I am starting to become convinced that it is all in the build...and im not a very good builder :)

here you go. http://golden-rule.org/category/mainstream-news/ given what us private individuals are capable of, i am rather sure that tech exist that is pretty amazing and perhaps these claims are not too far fetched. none the less, i for one, happen to be glad they are not flying at the RNC...

Aerial Drones No longer just used in the tribal areas of Afghanistan and Pakistan, United Drones' 4 1/2-foot-wide Aether Aero, a tiny-looking helicopter drone, will be provide "intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance to government agencies" during the Tampa convention, reports The Tribune...

yikes. that is a bit scary. as a private pilot and MR user, please consider this statement further. One bad accident and none of us will be flying MR's. Not to mention the terrible accident that could happen. Keep it under 400', please...and sorry about your crash.

here is the lego prototype. Sorry if you have seen this. I just saw it today. Amazing and for some odd reason - I wanna try something similar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8RN8wMnQpg

Not familiar with the gaurdian (will do some research), have you given any thought to trying it on a wing? seems to work like a charm. im guessing it some kind of leveling system. can you adjust it on the fly? meaning letting it have more or less input?
