Please share how you have your radio mapped. A photo of your radio or a table with what switch, knob, etc. goes to what function would be great. If you have any explanation of the method to your assignments that would be great as well. @BogotaMatt made a statement on another forum:"I'm going...

Did anyone see this posted on the Linkedin UAV Entreprenurs group? The post started by Mark Cocquio: "Australian clean sweeps the first US Drone Nationals Just for back from an amazing week flying at the Drone Nationals in Sacramento. Privileged to be a part of this groundbreaking event, thanks...

This just came up on my regular mailing from University of Nevada, Las Vegas: Unmanned Aircraft Systems Certificate Program "Be on the forefront of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) design, operation, and policy. UNLV’s UAS Certificate takes an interdisciplinary approach, covering not only...

Has anyone else noticed that the www.understandingsUAS.com webpage is marked with "This Account Has Been Suspended"

I want to propose a group purchase of the Aeronavics (Droidworx) redesigned dampeners for USA members. There are two new harder classes that have been added recently: Hard (Part No. 406-0324) and Very Hard (Part No. 1406-0235). I have the ones that came with my gear rail assembly. I have not...

Are there any good mechanical connections for our UAVs available that are practical for our build projects (light weight, small)? Specifically I am thinking of: bullet connectors, lithium polymer battery connection, and other large gauge wiring connectors we use?

I have been reading forum posts for about a year, looking at current threads and researching the archives. I have seen mention of soldered connections versus mechanical connections; some have argued that mechanical (crimped) connectors last longer than solder joints on our vibration prone UAVs...

On my heavy lift 6S system I use 2 XT-90 connectors to plug in a pair of 10,ooo mAh batteries and there is no way to keep the first connection from sparking that I have found. The connection shows signs of electric erosion (I imagine it is a small amount vaporizing metal). Also I believe I am...

I am a member of American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP). They have a sUAS class series. Many of us could probably teach this but I thought it was interesting that this has become part of the ASMP. http://asmp.org/e-learning/UAV#.VAeeVNq9KSM I thought the link via one of the...

Hey everyone - I had a bad crash about a week ago during the testing phase of my heavy lift hexacopter. I intend on disassembling the copter and check the software and hardware to try to figure out if it was operator error or a component problem, I was using an A2 FC. While I make these...

Does anyone use the A2 system to control a multirotor and gimbal with one radio? How do you do it? I am using a Futaba 14SG to link to the A2 unit and would like the ability to link a second Futaba receiver (mounted on the gimbal) to occasionally fly and control the pitch and roll of the gimbal...

I have seen a fair amount of reference to motor or ESC temperatures. I would like to know how the multirotor community measures these temperatures? Do any of you calibrate your heat measuring devices? - Brand name and model would be helpful, along with your satisfaction of the unit. Cheers!

Does anyone fly their multirotor using a tether or know of another person using this technique? I understand there are situations where the tether can supply power and that FAA rules are different for tethered flight. Thanks

This New Build of a HexaCrafter 1100L is going to be a slow project. Currently multirotors are not my business but I would like to explore the possibility – and here I am. I have started some phases of this project so I thought I might as well get my introduction and project goals out in the...

I am going to be getting a set of 10,000mAh 6S 25C batteries. I typically install XT60 ends on my lower amperage 4S batteries and have a parallel charge board. I always make sure that all the batteries are within 0.1 volts of each other, and have not had any problems. I want to be able to...

I am building a heavy lift XY8 platform to do aerial photography for survey work, HDR panoramas, and possibly remote field public relations video (construction). I mostly work in the southwest US deserts; often remote locations. I need to have the system built and ready to work for a project in...

Has anyone heard of this gimbal? http://ditogear.com/products/omnihead/advantages/#Upsidedownoperation It sounds like it can be balanced easily; though it is a belt drive that appears to weigh 2.75 kilos. The verbiage states that it can be mounted upside down and it appears to be about...

Hey Everyone, I have seen so much great video from inexpensive cameras to cinematography equipment. I am wondering what is the gamut of software people use? I know Adobe has Premier, and Apple has free software with their latest operating system. I also see YouTube videos with text inserted...

Hello from Las Vegas Nevada, I work out in the Mojave Desert often and spend some free time capturing landscapes of our unique terrain. I enjoy the grand view but often there seems to be something in the way. When we had the fire in the local mountains, at the end of this last summer, I was...
