Seems like funny timing to me. Honestly what good is an organization that goes silent when things are legally up in the air. I want an organization that I can trust won't fall silent again if the laws change. They should have been leading the fight with the FAA.

Few days ago I was shopping for some specific screws and nuts and was amazed at the wide selection of fasteners available on the internet. Has anyone tried non standard fasteners with good results? Has anyone tried using the nylon screws and nuts? Might reduce weight and vibrations, however is...

These articles are very heavy on the military aspect. With all of the regulations going on worldwide it might go a long way to change public opinion by adding other uses of UAVs and sUAVs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_unmanned_aerial_vehicles http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UAV

Might try these. http://aerialpak.com/ http://transportrisk.com/uavrcfilm.html

Would that be advertising commercial services? Perhaps instead have a juried list of demo reels and an open thread for submissions.

I completely agree that flying over people and traffic is a bad idea. Having some rather good flights is not sufficient experience for the difficult flight conditions around the space needle. Don't try it. It is a small area, lots of people, and rapidly varying wind conditions That said I...

Just wondering, but I thought it was best to have the flight controller centered on the CG?

I recently posted an article on my blog about getting started with multi-rotors for film and would like feedback on it. This is my first blog post. Let me know if you see anything that I left out or any remaining errors. http://bit.ly/19FUp4V Thanks Richie

Thanks for the info. It's funny but there are some indications that Disney has purchased high end multi-rotor camera platforms. I wonder if they are just using them outside the USA?

Building my own frame. Seems like everytime I start working on this something around the house breaks. I will post plans and photos as I go.

Sounds like a great idea. Should make it an annual event. Each year a new location. Would love to see a trade show with this. Shopping multi-multi-rotor vendors all in one place!

Talked with the Bank today about these fees. I was told they are conversion fees or conversion corrections. Basicly it is because they have to convert the money from one currency to another. There is no way to avoid them. They will vary depending on the country and the conversion rate at the...

I need to find out what big names are using multi-rotors in major productions. Link to sources are very important. Also need links to companies providing insurance in the USA. I have heard of a few but could only find a website for one. Thanks Richie

The answer that I just got from HK is that it is an Absorb fee. Last time I checked those fees were illegal here(Washington State), not sure if that is a federal or state law. Does it even matter if they are international? One of the things I still don't understand is that I was charged more...

Looks like I have almost everything that I need. Of course there are a few things that I will have to purchase before it will fly, but I am ready to start now.

Any ideas? If there is a reason I would not mind. But I sure don't like random extra charges on my bank account. 08/13/2013 DB DEBIT / 08-11-13 HEXTRONIK LIMIT HONG KONG HK $115.70 08/13/2013 FEE / POS 0813 0206 539293 HEXTRONIK LIMIT HONG KONG HK $0.92 08/12/2013 WITHDRAW / PAYPAL...

Thanks for the feedback. One of the orders that had an extra fee was shipped from the USA warehouse which is in the same state that I live in. The other was shipped from Hong Kong. One order was on debit while the other was paypal. I don't mind extra fees if I know about them. What I don't...

I made a couple of orders from Hobbyking recently. Later I was surprised to see to extra and separate transaction on my bank account. Both less than $2 US. I contacted Hobbyking and got a cryptic response and that I should check with my bank. My bank is checking into it. Have you ever had...

http://joinaria.org/ http://www.rcapa.net/ http://nadse.net/ http://parcap.org And I am sure there are more. Most of these look like they are dead. Parcap at least has recent news. None seem to be an open organization at all. We are reaching a point where we need a strong organization to...

Have all the parts for the frame and most of the electronics are in the mail. Spent way too much time window shopping before making a purchase. Let the fun begin. Photos coming soon. Richie
