my comment wasn't Directed towards you, or anyone in particular. I genuinely just want to educate and ensure that our passion gets the chance to grow into the amazing thing it is and can be. I'm not out to "get" anyone. I hope no one feels that I'm attacking them, just the mindset.

Knowingly and blatantly going against the FAA and the regulations will result in only more regulations. There won't be any distinction between the actions of a few and the actions of the many. If one person decides to push it, it may cause the death of permitted general use of UAS systems...

They do own the airspace, this is not a claim. If I came and hovered over your house you would have to go through the FAA for recourse. You respect it, by as a community, making it a huge no no to fly outside what the FAA allows. Take it on yourselves to be more safe than necessary. Give the...

I'm not calling anyone a tool, I don't think anyone here is. We all want the same thing, you don't think I want to be able to fly at 1000 agl if the mission calls for it, or pilot out a good distance? I want to see UASs reach their full potential. What we are saying, because we have the...

Helicopters operate in that area out of necessity... In aviation, especially with helicopters there is very very little done without very good reason.

I agree completely that there needs to be a dialogue and a real effort made to create suitable and safe regulations for multi rotors. That is why part of our exemption is to report and work with the FAA to help grow the industry. I am very interested in getting a real working set of guidelines...

Former pilots? I'm not an airline pilot, nor am I a former pilot. I am a helicopter pilot, I fly regularly. This is, whether you like it or not, like trying to explain to a child that running across the freeway is a bad idea, and the child responding that they have done it before and it was...

There's what I was looking for, the legalese. I am in no way a proponent of going against the ACs, was just trying to make the point to anyone that may mistake the FAA suggesting 400 feet as them not having to adhere. If the FAA says to do it, do it. Emergencies not withstanding.

Oh, I understand what you are getting at, I say it is a recommendation because in the AC it is written as "The FAA recommends..." Now there are a few things like this in the world of dealing with the FAA, yes they are few and far between, but a recommendation from the FAA is not a...

What part? Können Sie deutsch?

Yes as an attorney you can better explain how an FAA recommendation is not really a recommendation. As a pilot all I can do is point out that despite it being stated as a recommendation, it is not really a request but a nice way of saying you will; which is what I was trying to explain. Staying...

I believe you meant ground level, not sea level.

I haven't been able to find a DJI Inspire 1 parts diagram, preferably an "exploded" diagram for all parts, or multiple diagrams if needed. Other than the patent diagrams I haven't been able to find much. Anyone have anything, or know of where one might be? If not, is anyone willing (someone...

Ha ha ha, never heard of heli driver... More like constant emergency management and control specialist Lol. But yes, guilty as charged. Nothing like turning and burning. BTW nice pickup on the screen name quad. My wife gave me the nickname, should I be concerned?

To clarify, AGL is Above Ground Level, or the terrain directly below the aircraft (not buildings, not trees, but terra firma). This means that if you take off, and fly up a canyon embankment till reaching the ridge, though you may be 3000 feet above where you as the operator is stationed, so...
