    quad picture contest

    What luck? Seeing the link did not impress me. A free magazine subscription is hardly a worthy prize for the effort put into getting that winning shot. I get more substantial prizes at National Coney Island...

    How big of a hassel ordering parts from China ?

    They ran out of coal to power the steam locomotive running the freight train. Sometimes modern convenience is inconvenient.

    How big of a hassel ordering parts from China ?

    Everything I know of comes from China. It is easier and faster than the stuff that comes from North Korea I'm sure.

    Drones are able to navigate around city streets..........

    The Star Wars Episode 2 I think had multi-level lane for various flying craft. I guess we'll have to wait until the 24th Century to find out if that will be the norm.

    Drones are able to navigate around city streets..........

    Another good idea is deploying the drone from the roof of your car to search out why traffic is so slow and perhaps an escape route is possible. Then, it would return to the roof of your car to recharge for the next deployment.

    Drones are able to navigate around city streets..........

    I would think that in heavily trafficked areas the drone would fly at an altitude say 'streetlight high' That way it would be a good spy and not subject to attack like possible at the street level flying.

    A picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth a billion words.

    One question I have, How do you control the gimbol's movement while operating the quad from the controller? It would seem impossible unless you have a third control on the controller just for the gimbol.

    Getting your quad out of tall trees the easy way

    With my luck, the arrow would go right through the ESC. Sort of hooking a fish in the butt hole.

    Beyond frustrated. Please help!

    When it comes to all this I am qualified as stupid! Ask me how to design a web site and a database and I can flabbergast you.
