Thanks!

Probably isn't cat proof though.

We've all sort of gotten off track here. In model rocketry, we had a simple device that we used to measure altitude of a rocket. It was called an Astrolabe. It worked by sighting through two apertures at the rocket when it deployed it parachute. There was a gauge strip that told us the angle at...

What is 'rssi'?

I assume they use fuel cell tech for the power.

Before 9/11, things were different. Now, everyone is afraid! The terrorists have won because that's what they set out to do --- make us afraid!

The third suggestion is probably the best. I'll just do that!

May Werner Von Braun and Charles Goddard bless him. It will probably take as long for him to develop the technology by himself. One thing that puzzled me was the engines and how they ignited. Unless he packed the engine tubes himself (which I think he didn't), building a solid fuel engine is...

I am a videographer by trade and do movie conversions. One of the services I perform is uploading videos to iPhones and Android phones. There is a bug-a-boo that Apple designed into their iPhones for uploading, music, videos and photos. It requires the installation of an APP called ApplePlay...

This video on the Falcon Heavy Lifter is stupid. He didn't have to do all that BS, Estes Industries has a Falcon Heavy Lifter Model that actually flies, not blows up two feet off the launch pad! We built rockets for fun, not to compete with SpaceX!

I was building and flying model rockets at age 15 through about age 22. I belonged to a Model Rocketry Club called the Wolverine Rocketeers of Detroit. We had a few members the built telemetry rockets with movie cameras in them that reached well over 5,000 feet. There were no restrictions then...

We'd have to check with the NAR (National Association of Rocketry). I was a member and I'll check it out.

Having one with follow me option set would be a bonus to our ground forces.

Stupid is as stupid does! Guess that gave them something to think about! Probably can't change that feature without destroying the ESC.

Neither of my quadcopters nor my fixed wing Super Cub, have that telemetry. That is why I brought up the point. My Model Aircraft do not possess those types of navigation telemetry. Many other model aircraft do not possess that type of telemetry but are still subject to the FAA restriction. So...

Since the FAA has established the 400 foot altitude limit it has puzzled me just how can one determine what 400 feet in altitude is? Unless the quadcopter has telemetry that indicates altitude (even in meters), how can we know what 400 feet is, by eyeballing it? What do you compare it to? Yeah...

Can it be used to flip burgers on a grill? Open and deliver cans of beer? Butter Corn on the Cob? Chase flies away from the picnic table? Tend to screaming babies, change their poopy diapers? Anything else would be useless.

WOW! A model "T" Drone. 21 years ago, there wasn't even an viable web site about them, let alone a non-dialup Internet.

For as long as I have been on this forum, you'd think I'd know that! But I didn't!
