Next time I'll know better than to get it out in that kind of wind. At least until I can remember which way to move the sticks to compensate. The quad can handle a stronger wind than I'd guessed otherwise. Thanks for the recommend @Bartman

You're not THAT boring.

It finally happened. Was out getting some scenery shots after the whopping :rolleyes: 1" of snow that fell last night. Guess it was either the wind and/or me getting disoriented, but the quad ended up on the roof; hard. Pure luck that it landed upright. To its credit, it did try to lift off when...

We had fun back in the 'big ugly dish' days watching the live, off-air feeds from the 1st Gulf war. Didn't take them long to scramble those however. A CNN anchor let his emotions get the better of him a few too many times.

OM, I agree with the education of the "Lo-Fo" consumer and some sort of accountability. They, along with the mfgr making it so easy for them, have caused quite a bit of trouble for the rest of us that just want to go out and have fun responsibly. I don't believe that there is any way that...

:eek: Wow :eek: Do you list the specs somewhere on the forum? I see the date is 5yrs old unless you forgot to set it. And stable enough to make adjustments in the air. Is that typical of most higher-end MR or just yours?

Maybe people could possibly use the search option in the corner to look up "Drone Radio" and the answer would manifest? Not that any of us really mind explaining it. We were all uninformed at one stage or another here. I will say, of the pages I've been on this AM, I haven't seen the banner ad...

I can see @FerdinandK making use of it when he gets an opportunity.

Wonder when the price point will reach consumer/hobbyist level.

"Patience, Grasshoppa."

That's the way most 'competitive' business arenas go. Seeing it in the power industry for years.

Saw the system last night on the Flight Test channel on youtube.

Sounds like they were more in the wrong than you. Shame on them.

Didn't mean I'd take a shot at one, but if it gets close enough for a water hose or a broom... all bets are off.

Much ado about nothing. o_O:mad: Now, if I see a MR w/ camera loitering on/above my property (under 200ft say) the owner better hope I can't reach out and touch it. Google Earth isn't realtime, but the resolution it provides can easily pick out a medium-size shrub. I figure that's the limit of...

Drone Wars!!! :rolleyes: Sacrificial or just buzz by to scare him/her? :eek: I've been doing some "high" altitude test flights trying to get a feel for landmarks in the area while I'm learning to compensate for wind, orientation, etc. I've noticed after watching the recordings that I've...

Wait... 80kg? That thing could lift me!!! Yikes.

Return-path flight is a mess for me as well. At some point I'll have to buckle down and learn, but for now I just try to keep the red 'eye' facing me.

Not to judge a book by its cover, but I got that impression from the Drone Radio interview with their reps.

That's a recipe for a nightmare.
