    US FAA Guidelines for Multi-rotors?

    Banning them? I don't think so and here is why. Regulations, maybe but banning no. A few people kill people with guns. Are they banned? A few people violate peoples rights with video camcorders a bazillion times more than with aerial units. It isn't illegal to video anyone in public or take...

    Good flying today... 'til the crash.

    I am using the M-Lite. I will tell you this. It is very hard to lock it in and put the controller down the first time because of the money in the air. But it works and that is awesome. I locked it in gps lock mode over a whole in some trees and once it was locked I descended. I went straight...

    That is a servo, I didn't think of making gimbal motor mount but I can probably get it made. Might take a few weeks to design and fabricate.

    US FAA Guidelines for Multi-rotors?

    Ooh, good point. I think if you are going to make money from these things and fly them in populated areas you should have to pass an inspection to show you can fly. I don't want a 5 pound weight hitting me. lol. Hobbyist shouldn't be regulated who fly in good flying areas. Heck, I just saw a...

    H4 Hornet

    My last flight test was 25.5 minutes before it landed itself but I had the failsafe set at 14.8 volts. I can go down to 12.8 volts without damaging the battery but I wont do it. I set my failsafe to 13.5 and I will be testing it soon. I am guessing I might get 35 minutes of flight time on these...

    H4 Hornet

    This isn't a review as much as it is me sharing the quadcopter I have helped design and brought to life in my home town of Logan, Ohio. I have completed 4 prototypes as of 9-20-18 and I just put my 4th one together tonight. After putting this one together I must make on more trip to the laser...

    US FAA Guidelines for Multi-rotors?

    I have called the FAA in Ohio and found it is ok to fly them for hobby and you do have to be able to see it. I am not granted permission to sell the photos I take from my quadcopter because that would mean I was doing it for profit. If you apply for an experimental license you can fly them above...

    Which Frame Arm is better?

    I like the DJI Flame Wheel Arms. They are only $4.00 a piece and I have seen them drop out of the sky from 50 feet or higher and not get harmed.

    Here is a photo of my H4 Hornet with my detachable extra camera skids and gimble. My gaui 330x if the one that is smaller. Here is a picture of my H4 Hornet without the detachable skids. This is how I normally fly it.

    Good flying today... 'til the crash.

    I have my naza set up so I have a switch for fail safe. You can tell the naza to either stop in place and land or stop, go to 100 foot altitude and return home then land. The return home and land is a good feature unless your flying under trees and accidently hit your fail safe. It will climb...

    I am saving for a thermal imager at this time. For the one I want with the video out included is $1,700.00. It is the same one I use at work so I am familiar with how it works. the quad will lift it with no problem. I however have not got the nerve up yet to fly the departments equipment up into...

    Good flying today... 'til the crash.

    I just crashed my Gaui 330X last night during a night flight. OOOPs, watch for things you can't see. I have to replace one of my arms on it and that is about it. I flew my H4 Hornet as well. It has 12 inch blades with 570 KV motors and a 14V 8000 Mha battery. That thing is so much more stable in...

    Oh, How Funny. My mistake on the website comment. I went to a shop in my home town and showed them what I wanted. He designed it and cut the body out with a laser cutter and then I assembled and test flew. The guy who put it in cad and for the most part put what I wanted to life, liked it so...

    I build my own sites and customers sites from www.jasgad.com but the www.longrangerc.com site is my first attempt at a drupal site. I just changed the banner pictures to my H4 Hornet photos. My policerobots.net site is one I put together a few years ago. I think the issue of us as police...

    I work as a police officer in Ohio and I have been using my own personal flying models for search and rescue for several years. I don't understand why so many are getting upset over their use. I keep hearing the arguments about police using them to watch everybody, but with a 20 minute flight...
