    DJI files patent suit against Yuneec

    Interesting... I was thinking of a Typhoon H myself. In honesty I have not been flying too much these days as I have been spending a lot of time studying for a certification exam. I have been in a mix of building a racer & checking out the H when it is released.

    Racer project

    We will have to see how much I really want to put one together. I have not really been flying too much these days. Been studying for another certification exam which is taking a lot of my time.

    Racer project

    So from the last fun fly day I went to I thought the 250 racers were pretty slick. I think that I want to get one together and all. I see a few threads here about 250 projects folks have done and I just wanted to see what things people have had luck with. Out on getfpv.com I noticed they have...

    Phoenix Area Drone users Group fun fly

    Here is a video someone shot from today's event. FPV racer near miss. I am not sure if this was when I was there or not.

    Phoenix Area Drone users Group fun fly

    Today the DUG hosted a fun fly event in Gilbert. I went to check it out, took my 450 up once. Met a few folks there, in all it was a fun time several guys had some smaller racers set up for FPV flying. One guy was really good with the racer, flipped it several times, no crashes. in all it...

    Web Comments...

    Personally I have never had anyone respond negative when I have had my multi-rotor out either.

    Web Comments...

    I ran across this article today while looking at some other stuff: http://woub.org/2016/01/17/lawsuit-seeks-to-resolve-drone-privacy-debate/ The article is not really the part I found interesting, it is the comments below the article. These kind of discussions always bug me a bit. I think...

    Typhoon H

    I read there was the FAA lock out. I expect to see that more and more on consumer product (just my feeling, no real data behind it). I still think it looks neat, waiting to see if it is neat enough to be worth the money in my mind. Almost 2k is kind of a pricey toy.

    Typhoon H

    I have had an F550 air frame here at the house for quite a while, but so far I have not had the motivation to get that project off the ground... I will wait a bit and see what the story is with the Typhoon H. I don't really have a consumer type drone right now, just my F450 (unless you...

    Typhoon H

    Saw a bit about this on the web. I was thinking of getting the 4k Typhoon's but may wait for this guy. There is mention of the collision avoidance system for the Typhoon H, which is the feature I think would be really slick. http://www.yuneec.com/ http://www.cnet.com/products/yuneec-typhoon-h/

    ND Police get Drone/Taser Authorization

    I don't have any background in law enforcement. I have been interested in multi-rotors for law enforcement and search and rescue. I know I have had the taser idea myself, but if it is a good or a bad idea I can't say, someone who works in the field would better know. I don't disagree with...

    Glad to see the AZ area

    I will see what I can do to help grow the community. If anyone out there is in the Phoenix metro area, where do you like to go fly now? I live in the city of Mesa, there are some spots to fly but given how many people are in the city it is a little hard to get away from it all. I know there...

    Thanks Bart! I hope this will be the start of a strong Arizona community! I am local to the Phoenix metro area and would love to meet up with some other people who are also in to multi-rotors. Thanks again Bart!

    RealSense Demo

    I am not sure if this has already been discussed, but the first link is a youtube to the committee on Energy and Commerce where a multi-rotor with real sense was demo'd (starts around 36mins) The second link is one to real sense...

    DJI - Phantom X Concept

    Here is the one I was thinking of: https://www.lily.camera/ Have you guys already talked about this one?

    DJI - Phantom X Concept

    I saw a similar product I think was called lily, or something like that. Basically you had a transponder and it would follow you around and such. Myself I like to fly them, so I am not too sure how excited I would be to have one that basically follows me around and such. with that said I do...

    Yuneec Q500 RTF AP/AV Heli

    I think a comparison to the Phantom 3 is valid, but the last time I priced an Inspire 1 with a 4k camera it was around $1,300 more than the Typhoon. Looking one up on Amazon quickly the 4k model Inspire is like 2 Typhoons. If I decide to pick one up I will post something here about it. I have...

    Yuneec Q500 RTF AP/AV Heli

    Sounds like you have a bit of a history with the company. Should I decide to pick one of the 4k models up would you be interested in knowing my thoughts on the product?
