    Christmas in October...

    First from Team Legit, a PDB for my ZMR 250: (first on my to do list is finish the ZMR) And from Santa Trappy, this for my Disco Pro: (TBS got this to Michigan from Hong Kong in 3 days, Banggood takes 3 months to arrive, no more Banggood, I don't care what their prices are like. 20 some odd...

    Oh great... is this true? (registration)

    Can't decide whether it's time to say screw it and sell it all or buy everything I want while I can....

    Oh great... is this true? (registration)

    Well lets see, they didn't say "drones" specifically, I believe it was "unmanned air craft" or what ever, so does this mean they intend to register the possibly millions of RC planes also? After all I can be just as much a hazard with an rc plane as my M.R. God only knows how high my 120"...

    Oh great... is this true? (registration)

    One question, maybe I missed it, but what exactly is "National Airspace" everything above a foot AGL, or what?

    Like a farmer in his field, outstanding.....and waiting

    The story of the 12000 acre family farm makes no sense to me. If they are using the MR for their own farm and not selling their services how can this not be allowed? A member of the family fliying over his own land seems legal enough to me. Now the people who want to go provide "drone"...

    MICHIGAN FPV ROTORCROSS

    Not sure how I missed this thread. They're flying right in my backyard and didn't know about them.... I'll be watching for future events, lots to learn there I'm sure.

    Thanks, looks good. Just ordered with the tablet adapter now I can mount either to the radio or tripod. Never had a way to mount tablet to tripod before. Thanks again.

    Autonomous success, almost....

    That entire flight except take off and landing was done with spline WP's as you can see they're still not very smooth... In MP you can insert additional wps but in Tower you can only tack wp on to the end and then move them around.. Much easier to make a smooth arc if you can insert wp's...

    Autonomous success, almost....

    Ok you asked for it, the entire flight was in auto, from takeoff to landing. Hopefully some day I'll get good at this video stuff, it's the reason I've spent all this money on these things. Still haven't figured out how to make the flights not be so "jerky" It's hard so far to make the...

    Autonomous success, almost....

    Tried videoing the bridge again. My flight made it all the way across the bridge then a RTL occurred. Have to check the logs to see why but my money is on the Geo-fence, I upped the limit I had my fence set to but when I calculated the distance needed I measured to the center of the bridge...

    Taranis Plus + Iris + = ????

    I agree, I love mine. Time to sell the Futaba T8FG Super. If it's for the Iris+ it already has telemetry with the Pixhawk, getting it to the Taranis, theres the issue. I did buy a Mavlink to Frysky module to send telemetry to Taranis but it needs a receiver with Smarport which the Iris+...

    IRIS + First Autonomous Flight and RTL today

    LOL That's not dusty, you should see my FW 550, it embarrassing... Thanks for the pic, I'm going to order one for mine, easy to set up? And here's a video from today, I flew about 6 different autonomous flights today , trying different things with ROI and creeping up on longer flights. The...

    Didn't you put a different GPS on your Iris+ (M8N I think) If so I'd love to see a pic of it mounted .

    IRIS + First Autonomous Flight and RTL today

    So after a few months flying the Iris I finally got up the nerve to try this. First I did a short flight and initiated a RTL... PERFECT! Landed almost dead nuts on the home point, in fact I did probably 8 - 10 RTLs today and was never off by more than 3 feet or so, I'm impressed. Next flight...
