Why of coarse. LOL Do you know not to fly in GPS mode when there is a forecast of any solar storms in your area? That is a good one. You will be flying in GPS mode and suddenly the quad goes off on its own. You can stop the fly away by simply switching to attitude mode or to manual. That is a...

I know. I can't belive the amount of new things we have to learn at the cost of a crash. I can't tell you how many times in my past I have said something like, Oh Crap, Oh No, Not My, Clablammo! That stinks I wonder how much that mistake is going to cost.

I flew around my home town of Nelsonville Ohio. Enjoy,

Great shots my friend. Love it.

My friend who cuts my H4 Hornets out just created his own 3D printed mini racer frame. He flew it for me it it was extremely fast. Pretty cool for being 3D printed. I like the posted video and showed friends at work. Very cool guys. I would so destroy a little bug like these. I don't think my...

AND WE HAVE A LIFE LESSON LEARNED. Been there and didn't like it. I hope it didn't do to much damage

I call it the H6 Hornet V3. I will be selling them on my site soon at www.longrangerc.com. It holds two 8,000 mHa Lipos. Right now I get 18 minute flights with only one battery so I can't wait to see what it gets when I by my second one.

I am already working on that and it is more than likely going to go. There is also a company in my city that might donate the money to me to get one. Right now I have to use the FLIR we already have. Our department has two but they are for everyone to use so one can't just be assigned to my...

Hello everyone. I am the owner of Long Range Rc and a full time Police Officer. It took a long time but I was able to get through the FAA red tape. I can use my multi-rotor for search and rescue after a year of hassles...

Hello everyone, for those of you who have seen some of my previous posts about the challenge of getting FAA approval for flying a drone, my wait is over. I have finally got a COA from the FAA and I am cleared to start using one of my drones to help in search and rescue missions for my...

HERE IS A PHOTO OF MY NEW CREATION OVER OUR SPECIAL RESPONSE TRUCK.

I am going through this whole FAA thing so I will be able to hopefully provide people with a good unit they can trust and one that will give them a good mind set that they will have some type of defense if something goes wrong. As of now there are only two small units like mine approved by the...

Lets say this. If you are flying any quadcopter in the USA and you are flying it for the Hobby to have fun. What happens when you crash it onto something someone owns like a car or a house and you do some damage. The first thing they do in a law suite is say you were doing something recklessly...

When Mine get FAA approved any one I build after it, as long as it is identical it is covered under my approval from the FAA. That would mean anyone who buys one wont have to go through the FAA approval for flight readiness. The other question you ask about my Quads. No, they are not approved...

I use these that I made from the the tall crab leg gear. I cut them on a band saw and placed them on my chopper. They spring very well on hard landings.

Hello, From my understanding, all multi rotors work on the plane mode of the transmitter and not the heli mode. I did notice in the video on the page you linked to, the instructor said ailerons. If he said ailerons he must have his controller in the airplane mode. Helicopters do not have ailerons.

I have spent several years improving my Hornet Line of multi rotors. Here are a few pictures of what I think is going to be my final line. The version 1, name: H-4 Hornet V1 Single Axis Gimbal for GoPro Hero 3 Noted by the White Stripe on the vents and 12 inch blue blades The version 2, name...

Hi Everybody, Jason from LongRangeRC.com here. I have some information to hand out. I have noticed that one of my quads was making a high pitch squealing sound so loud that it was to annoying to fly plus I thought my motors might be bad. The motors were 570 KV and new so I didn't want to trash...

Hello Guys, If you remember how I told you in an earlier post that the one Hornet I had the Tarot 2 gimbal on kept having a high pitch squeal followed by a uncontrollable turn? I think I figured it out. I noticed that the speed controllers I have had a setting for the timing of the motors. If...

Ok, I have an answer. I had this problem with one of my raptor 50 helicopters. Some receivers go into a failsafe when a voltage drops to a certain level. If it goes into a failsafe and you don't have your failsafe idle set to a good hoover speed it could drop. That is one explanation. The other...
