This stuff is coming along nicely. http://www.uasvision.com/2016/01/18/fuel-cell-quadcopter-flies-2-hours-with-4k-video/?tc=eml

Note the gentleman filing the suit has done so as an individual since no other entity had elected to file by 12/24/15, when he filed. The absence of any following support info from organizations like the AMA and manufacturers is concerning. If this guy puts out a plea for financial or amicus...

Just watched the new Point Break movie. The folks that handled the aerial work, I think it was Digicopter, did some nice work in difficult places. I think it's better than the original.

Came across this at another forum but it's interesting enough to repeat here. These could be quite useful tools for some applications.

Found this in my spam box this morning. It seems that businesses recognize what people want. OTOH, at least this business sells products people that make our little aircraft have use of. http://hosted.verticalresponse.com/787367/ef7a8e9c96/1481061889/cead33b518/

Folks, This is a consumer review of another consumer drone. No manufacturer or distributor contributed anything to the creation of this review, the entire system was bought and paid for on my own. I have no personal or professional association with Horizon or Yuneec, so this is totally...

Of some interest. Time will tell if the group becomes effective. http://www.uasvision.com/2015/10/05/uas-insurance-association-founded/

Seems Mr. Schulman has taken a vice president's position with DJI. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/innovations/wp/2015/07/15/dji-brings-on-leading-drone-lawyer-brendan-schulman/

I just noticed Progressive RC is an advertiser here at MR Forums. I don't do this very often but I'll say here and now that if you need stuff in a hurry Progressive is a good place to go. I've ordered from them through their Amazon advertisements and have always received the orders fast. They...

The linked article sheds some light on what's happening with air carriers and shipments of lipos of late. The number of carriers that have already banned bulk battery shipments is worrisome. If more join that group the only method of transport will be by sea carrier. What is referenced in...

A well laid out description and history of "drones". http://www.salon.com/2015/04/11/americas_insidious_drone_dependence_why_theres_no_going_back_partner/

So, being one of the officers in an RC club I went to the monthly meeting tonight, one always held in the local hobby shop. On a whim I bought an Dromida Ominus while I was there. Soon after the battery finished charging I found I had made an immense mistake in buying this thing. I'm afraid...
