Here's a video of a Phantom operator who was forced to land by a police helicopter. The operator was detained for an hour and fined $70.00 for flying at a national park. He was also flying within 30 miles of Washington DC's no fly zone. YouTube: http://youtu.be/smxql2PXehI

I just saw this MIT study done on variable pitch quads: YouTube http://youtu.be/VIkqqVr_u9U i love this!

I recently crashed my Y6 after my craft went into stage 2 voltage protection. Im trying to test the flight system before putting it back in my Y6. What does a solid red light on the Main Controller mean?? i can't get my system to write, or calibrate the transmitter. I can start the...

Well... Just had my Y6 fall out of the sky when it hit DJI's 2nd voltage protection. My lipos were old and I've been tracking shorter and shorter flight times. Does anyone think that DJI's 2nd level voltage protection is a little too aggressive in reduction of power? I would rather have...

Is it possible for a battery to go under voltage per cell during flight and trigger DJI's voltage monitor even though only 30% of the capacity has been used. I know the battery voltage drops under load, but i haven't touched the 80% capacity of my battery.

I found this site while looking for an alternative means to increase flight times: http://www.horizonfuelcell.com/#!advanced-technical-kits/c720 I think this company has been around since 2007. They design hydrogen fuel cells in a solid state ("safe") to power UAVs progects, etc. They also...

My Sony Actioncam is behaving a little strange. It randomly powers up and down when left unattended. I turned off its wifi signal in case it was receiving interference from nearby routers but it keeps doing the thing. Anyone know what's causing this?

I have a 10.1 inch Leadstar monitor, but I can't use the RCA to mini AV jack. The only thing I see is a blue screen. My HDMI connection works, but I need the AV jack for my video transmitter. Is there a solution, setting, or work around instead of getting another monitor? Your help is...

I found this on YouTube: http://youtu.be/UxxZYgqzyEM I like to know what other features the new gen of flight controllers have. (I'm sure DJI will take the video down. It seems to happen every time they upload a video. They'll take it down and then repost it.). sweet...

I was thinking about the features that DJI implemented in their updates. The one I like most is IOC (Intelligent Orientation Control), and RTH (Return to Home). What do you think about an Auto Land feature for setting the craft down safely where ever it's at. I think it would be great for...

Here's a worst case video: Youtube: http://youtu.be/opZDKXybZGE

I just found this video on Youtube of a waterproof multicopter frame: http://youtu.be/8SY48lfuhFs

After reading through the forum and hearing complaints/wishes on DJI's multirotor system, I thought it would be great to hear ideas for improving safety features of DJI's flight controller. What are some of those ideas? I think the enhanced battery failsafe should determine height above...

DJI just posted this video on Youtube: http://youtu.be/PjGIvtjKD60 I hope this also works when a prop breaks.

I've seen where DJI WKM/NAZA users have pointed offset the arrow on their GPS/Compass to correct toilet bowl issues. Do you think it would be possible for DJI to implement a software fix for those that have that issue. Instead of manually turning the GPS unit to try to fix a circling issue...

Im starting to think that smaller and lighter quads are better than these heavy ships that I see and have built. They use less power, fly longer, are easy to transport And don't cause quite a stir when you fly them. Plus the stress factor goes down knowing that you don't have eight pounds of...

Are Graupner e props worth the money? I haven't heard anything bad about the props. I'm building a Y6 and don't want to risk another prop failure.

While looking for Y6 frames, and home builds I found this: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1675974 Youtube: http://youtu.be/aobfOtA2Auo http://youtu.be/2p4Yb_zqPHs http://youtu.be/vvnbme5_R0Q

Tested the RTH feature again today and I'll say that I'm so impressed. The first time that I tried it, my craft landed without intervention. The second day of trying it scared the crap-o-la out of me when it started circling wildly to land. I couldn't regain control of it (because I didn't...

I want to rebuild my flat Hexa (which crashed after a prop snapped) into a Y6. Does anyone know a good company that makes frames (besides Droidworx). I wanted RCCarbon, but I don't think they still exist.
