    Pilot's license requirement might not be so silly afterall

    Do you think you should obtain an A/P license to perform any maintenance on a UAV? What about avionics & a FCC endorsement for work on anything that emits radio frequency? It took me a little over 2 years to obatin my A/P license and FCC license with an endorsement. That was in 91-93' and costs...

    holy.. DJI's new MG-1 drone released, for agricultural application

    Yamaha has had the RMax out for years & their new nodel the Fazer is fuel injected version both are RC controlled. Starting price is around $120k. Were still waiting on entrance to the us market but they aready are approved by the FAA. So it's not new & you should have been spooked a long time...

    Los Angeles UAS Ordinance (LAMC Sec 56.31)

    So now the ATC are managing UAV traffic, yet they have no transponder, no way to ident, no two way communications, & there's no provision for UAV's in the FAA's NexGen radar system? I guess they'll have to go back to white boards & magic markers for the interim? Seriously, did the mayor even ask...

    Inspire 1 new propulsion system with 420KV motors and new prop mounting/locking mechanism

    Has anyone thought the reason for dialing back the speed on the Inspire's is to accommodate for the new motors & the various configs? For example if the old inspire achieved 30m/s with an X3 &. a 4500mah. This would represent the fastest config. So now comes V2, new motors, props, heavier...

    USA FAA Form 8050-2 Bill of Sale

    Tsk.. Tsk.. It's okay, they'll get it figured out in time. Certainly not near as fast as the we'd like nor as fast as the rest of the free world but when America does something we ALWAYS take it to the extreme, biggie size it & beat dead beyond recognition. It's excess American style, the FAA...

    Another firmware update problem :(

    Turbo, you can use Prussian blue (used for metal scraping & engine valves, etc.) to transfer the exact point contact from the spring hinged pins to the PCB gold pads. AutoZone, AdvancedAuto, or PepBoys should carry it, comes in a tube, a blue paste & a little will go a long ways. Wormwood

    Positive article from WBUR (NPR) about drones

    A dolphin has horizontal tail & sharks have a vertical tail....? Right? Anyway, InterMurph, you've managed to accomplish what most others are trying to do before the gov't snuffs out any remaining creativity thru regulation, taxation, & outright repression. I wish I had a t-shirt & coffee mug...

    Ipad overheating with intelligent flight options

    Okay with the Ipad setup as recommended & caching disabled, I'm still noticing the Ipad 2 Air being very hot, although it hasn't brought up the overtemp screen it's has to be pretty close. Thinking about a heatsink silicone gel that you can stick on the back casing since it uses the frame as a...

    Ipad overheating with intelligent flight options

    Thank you, never seen that checklist before. I've been doing most of them except the video & map caching. Gotta get a sunshade or make one that'll actually work.. Wormwood

    Ipad overheating with intelligent flight options

    Got a new Ipad 2 Air with everything updated to current & using the waypoint tools within the IOS app & the such. I got a message from the IOS stating it needed to cool down before I could continue using the Ipad. Anyone else overheating with new firmware? I've never had it come up before...

    Intelligent Navigation Modes

    Okay, well maybe he should have asked it another way... Where did you get the info that you posted? Where did you read it from. This existing manual?

    Firmware v1.4.0.10 - 7th Sept 2015 Released

    Has anyone ACTUALLY looked at the new app & can see where the new features are accessed? Please share how you access you use them. Otherwise, it's either not enabled for inspires, or maybe another goof up, perhaps it's enabled based on timezones now....?!?! My guess is DJI is techs. are so used...

    FAA MSA Definition Must Change

    There goes the FAA again doing their same old song & dance... Oh, yeah, ALL aircraft need to update to ADS-B. Nope, nope this is absolute were no giving any wiggle room on this, now head on down to your favorite avionics shop & throw yourself over the counter so they can stick it to you for...

    Inspire compass reporting 0 value after 1.3 update

    Take the camera off & make sure all the contact pads are clean & all the pins are not bent. Also make sure the pins are all spring loaded & they retract properly.

    Debunked! Drone strike with an aircraft...

    I don't see the over reaction, we frequently have guys who are wanting to buzz over their house while calling their wife on the cellphone to say high honey. Happens all the time, someone who either flying with someone or by themselves, (yes they're close enough you can count bodies inside the...
