Since I don't read legalese-doublespeak, did they include fixed and heli craft as well? Or just our corner of the field? Also, as far as sUAV's purchased before 12/21/15, what constitutes the actual vehicle? FC, motor, ESC, frame, etc? I plan to go DIY for my first build.

The forum needs a vomit emoji.

Ok. Thanks. I'll fly around for a couple of minutes then put em back in the bag. I'm not really sure of a good way to verify half charge on these.

I'm not going to be using my Dromida for a few weeks due to weather, time, etc. I'd charged up both 1S 700mAh packs and placed them in a LiPo "safe" bag prior to this. Is there anything I need to do to make them 'behave' while collecting a little dust, as they say? TIA.

I still see a lot of marketing hype in the video. It might not be a "simulated" run as they claim, but the behavior that's actually shown in the video tells me they never turned off the vertical thrust for any of the shots. Can that single motor really propel that thing sufficiently with the...

Or try to insulate a flyback transformer (tesla-type project) output with radiator hose. The juice will track right up the nylon strands.

Wonder what the penalties for "civil disobedience" are going to be.:oops:o_O

And I can just guesstimate why DHS would want such a list. :rolleyes:o_O

Ugh.

Went with the Dromida fpv. Should be here next week.

Any luck on the archive?

Oh snap. I was looking forward to hearing the guest speaker from SAR. I only had time to catch about 10min at about 10min into the show.

Wire twisting helps to prevent interference between the power wires and the other electronics on the craft.

I like Ahmed and Walter.

Thanks to whomever corrected it. I looked in the edit options again. Must have missed it.

And in a not too good location to boot. http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2015/11/18/drone-strikes-truck-linden-new-jersey/ [and I typo'd the subject line. super.]
