    There was a documentary last evening on ABC called "The Royals". It reviewed the Royal Family from Queen Victoria through the present Monarch, Elizabeth II. Lot of emphasis on Diana the Duchess of Wales. Also a comparison between King Edward VIII and Prince Harry, Duke of something with Megan...

    I don't have a Passport and it can stay that way. I can't even go to Canada which is a few miles from where I live. I could go, but I need to have a Passport to re-enter the USA.

    Moz. I give you credit for being a gentleman. Us Americans are still fighting wars. If you want to come to the USA, I'd welcome you, just look out for everyone else.

    And the Earth is flat, right? The sun orbits the Earth? The moon really is made up of Green Cheese? The Americans are liars? And the Americans didn't save the Brittish Arses in WWII! Stay on your side of the pond. We sent you home in 1792 and we'll do it again!!! Never piss off an American!!!

    One good outcome from WWII was Von Braun being captured by the Americans. If it weren't for that happening the USA would not have been the first on the Moon.

    Yes, that too and even slicing though a jugular vein. I've seen some cases with neck nicks. and side burn retrims. What ever happened to the rotor guards? Both my Quads have them.

    Quads are very cool ! But this is............

    I keep my AMA membership up because my R/C Flying Club is a AMA sanctioned club and I'm covered with the AMA Liability Insurance for 2 Million Dollars. I guess I'd have to destroy something really big to use that much.

    There always seems to be some idiot that takes a good thing and turns it into a bad thing. This all goes back to the 1800's when our enemies were arming the local native Americans with muskets instead of bows and arrows and tomahawks. Now their taking our Quadcopters and turning them into...

    Quad wont lift off...

    Can the polarity to the motors switch? Something wired incorrectly, with the ESC getting the right flow but the motors not?

    Quad wont lift off...

    Here's a simple test, set the quad on a flat surface, put some corn starch under each motor, run the quad. If the corn starch blows out and around, you've got the props in the right direction. If the powder blows up or not at all, you've got the props on wrong. My granny taught me that for some...

    Brief drone survey

    Commercialism at its lowest level. See, we're a Quadcopter Forum (Drone is as it sounds: Drones on and on). We're here for our members, both regular and new. Our goal is to promote owning and flying Quadcopters, not help some guy start a business for manufacturing "drones". So, push your survey...

    Regarding Site Authentication

    Is it a secure web site? In other words does the URL begin with "https" or "http"? If it begins with "https" it is designated as a secure site using credit card encryption. Otherwise, forget it. Also, on site, check their encryption credentials like they use PAYPAL, be conscious that not ever...
