    Women BEATS UP drone operator at the beach, old or new?

    Public beach.....therefore no legal expectation of privacy. Take all the pictures you want. Bottom line.....she is three kinds of nutty. Hope she scratched him bad enough to draw a little blood. That would probably be good to get her an extra week or two in lock-up. Sounds like she needs...

    JR VS Futaba

    All of which matters only if you're sitting at home saying to yourself "I just gotta use SBus for something today". Again…… All the rhetoric aside, pick the one that suits YOU the best. That's what will make you the happiest. .....sT

    JR VS Futaba

    PPM available in both JR as well as Futaba (I'm using it myself with my XG11 and TSLRS UHF) S-Bus - Futaba X-Bus - JR Not a terrible lot of difference, except that X-Bus will address as many as four servos per channel. With a 14 channel radio that means you can address 56...

    JR VS Futaba

    Actually, that depends upon which JR system you're considering. If you're talking about the JR/Spektrum DSM and DSM2 kit from the past, then what Pete says is really quite true. HOWEVER, JR has recently introduced their newer DMSS format system which has fixed nearly all of those concerns. I...

    Landing gear for F550

    The AeroXcraft landing gear is not at all heavy. The full set is barely but a few ounces. And Rob (Mr AeroXcraft himself) is one of the best when it comes to support...tech or otherwise. Wish all vendors were as great as he is. ....sT

    F550 Landing Gear needed for shooting in 1080

    I've been using the AeroXcraft landing gear in conjunction with their VTR125 gimbal and a Sony NEX-5 for awhile now and have no complaints at all. FWIW....if you decide to go that route, PM me. I am about to tear down the 550 for parts on another build. When I do, I'll be selling the gimbal...

    Landing gear for F550

    Yes, that's the AMP kit. It is alright. It does what it's advertised to do. Had I to do it over again...I might have gone with a different set from another vendor. On the other hand, I really don't even fly this bird very often any longer. Have been seriously considering scavenging it for...

    Christmas gift for RC enthusiast: DJI 450?

    I would agree with Bart about the Naza V2. Truth be told, there isn't a huge difference between v1 and v2 Naza's. Should you happen to stumble across a NEW v1 at a good price, it would save you some $$. (However...as a gift, the v2 makes the bigger impact, of course). All of the above being...

    Show what you filmed - Post Your Video Here

    Well....certainly not up to the calibre of most of the rest found hereabouts. This was shot last week around the corner from my house (which you can see if you know where to look). NO brushless gimbals were hurt, harmed, or otherwise utilized in the filming of this video...

    A message from AMA president Bob Brown

    Make no mistake....the only thing there which was in earnest was that recruiting pitch. Talk is cheap. Anyone who welcomes me with open arms, but then says "now that I like you...give me money" probably wasn't being honest in the first place. ...sT

    DJI A2 Multi-Rotor Flight Control System Has Been Available!

    prop balancer

    The problem with the TopFlite balancer is that most of them have spindles that are out of true and therefore induce a certain amount of error in the balancing process. I went through six of them and each one had an out-of-true spindle. I finally gave up and threw the spindle away. I use a...
