Sounds like I should be glad I wasn't following the thread closely. I like to believe that I'm super-easy to get along with most of the time. Life's too short to get miffed over small stuff. I may come across as a jerk sometimes (actually been told that), but it's unintentional 99.9% of the...

Yeah, I'm trying to express my opinions/feelings on the matter in a mature way (as opposed to a manure way:rolleyes:). That being said, if a mod deems my emanations to be odiferous then please feel free to educate me on my lack of manners. I tend to spout off a lot in real life to friends and...

My plan is to go with PixHawk and probably a Taranis radio. Of course that may change as I learn more, but I like the idea of open source hardware.

I have that on mobile, but I can also scroll down to the list of days. Odd that yours doesn't load scroll bars on the right. Will look when I get to a PC in a bit. Edit: yep, yours isn't loading today's prize or the calendar grid between the page header and the buttons at the bottom. Have any...

When I followed the link, there was a table of days. Click the most recent day and it should pop up the fields to enter.

Finished the last 50min on my way into work. I think Patrick was spot on re:FAA.

Sullivan regulators are heavy (1.50 kg) and 24-36VDC; not really practical for any but heavy-lift MR applications. Though I guess the weight wouldn't be that much of an issue when a 50+cc engine is aboard.

Seems like the FAA getting involved will just take the fun out of it all. I have a cousin that got his commercial license and I have no clue how he has any fun in a Cessna with all the stuff to worry about. Guess full-scale is a mentality apart from mine. Would be nice if everyone held to the...

I know... the old Supercharged O.S.(?) Glow engines. :rolleyes:

I had to give up. Youtube app kept freezing in a constant spinning circle. Probably on my end. Sometimes just vid would freeze. I'll catch the archive.

Streaming issues on my end.

Pixhawk isn't in the list. :(:rolleyes:

Based on the summaries at the bottom of the analysis, it looks like the regs are here to stay. It'll take someone or some body (AMA? nah.) with deep pockets to get it nullified.

Convert the glow to diesel? I remember kits advertised to do that from 20yrs ago. But yeah, I ran some SWAG calcs on power (~2600W) from a post Ferdinand made and came up with a need for at least their mid-size unit to just hover. Then there's the regulation and governor systems........ It's...

Or, civil disobedience if you're really gutsy. What's that quote about standing together or hanging separately? :rolleyes:

Hehe. Mine has good filters. :confused::eek::rolleyes:

Are you using a Sullivan generator system? Those, so far, the only ones I've found to be anywhere near light enough and still produce a decent power output.

Doesn't say it requires a unique email for each name does it? Or did I miss that in the terms/rules.

I like the idea of a legal challenge to the legality of what the FAA has done. I can see thousands of human 'drones' just walking in lockstep to the registration site. While lots of us who would otherwise drive innovation in the field either pack it in or just not enter in the 1st place. So much...

Old Man, I read those earlier today. I try not to assume anything when it comes to fed dot gov, but it read to me that everything under the AMA 'umbrella' falls into the net as well. I get the implications of what's been handed down. It just saddens me that another freedom in this Country has...
