Don't we already have a lost of acronyms on QuadCopter Forum?

I've seen this before and that's what I]m talking about, something other than being an aerial tripod!

Here's a problem with all these drones that take pictures and shoot videos: soon they will be as common place as the Smart Phone with little else to be done with them. They will become all consuming and contribute little to society similar to what Kodak did. Kodak doesn't make camera film any...

Could be like homing Pigeons, flew home to DJI!

True, but remains to be seen as the power of the vote has, in recent times, put the squeeze on various Republican Congress people to not mess with the Affordable Care Act. What says that the Drone Lobby doesn't have a similar power on their side. Ah, I just love politics...

The US FAA just had their registration rule repealed by the US Congress. Now they have to refund the fees paid by everyone who registered their R/C/ Aircraft under the dumb rule. A greater expense now (the fee and printing checks and mailing them) because some bureaucrat was thinking with...

Sure, my quadcopter is named "Chain Saw". That's because it has a marked propensity towards cutting down every tree it can find. It must have a "TLR" circuit I don't know about. Thats "Tree Locator Radar". No matter which way I direct it to go, if there is a tree, it goes right for it and tries...

When you get it, don't name it Titanic or Hindenburg. Those are two names associated with catastrophic results on maiden voyages.

I would be more into performance drones, those I can compete with. An P4 would be nice, but I don't see racing with it much. That would be like putting a Mack Diesel Truck against a Shelby Cobra Mustang.

I am a LOOOOONNNNGGGG WAY AWAY FROM THAT EXPERTISE!!!

In our new "Drone Club", We have several members who own Phantom 3's. A couple want to get the Mavic Pro, but are leary about the price vs. performance over say the Phantom 4.

I guess that depends on what you consider being applicable to a quadcopter. What I would like to see is a quad that could perform a barrel-roll maneuver while flying forward. I know that most can do 360 flips, but they are basically entering automatic hover and then continuing on it it's flight...

Sometime those toy grade drones are sneakier than those multi-million dollar drones. Like the old British "Mosquito" bomber, treetop entry and fast treetop exit.

It is often said that "discretion is the better part of valor..." Taking into consideration the outcome of doing something with less discretion, would it be less valorous if one was to be indiscreet at Area 51 or any military reservation for that matter? The test is doing it and not getting...

OK, then tell me about area 51 and what would happen to a civilian who intrudes on that military installation? Hollywood or not, I'm sure the consequences would not be pleasant, unless, of course, you don't agree and you should then test that theory.

I would think the military would be more interested in following the flight path of the drone, right back to the operator, where upon, said operator, would find him or herself in a military stockade awaiting transportation to a federal court and other security institution, where upon flying a...

Hey Jackson, the last of the video at the 10 minute mark is just flying. What exactly are we supposed to see there?

Since my trip wold be more likely 75 hours ( Clinton Twp., Michigan), I doubt the drive would be practical for me. What's a Joshua Tree?

Get a Phantom 3 or 4. The heck with the cost. You got a cattle ranch? Splurge!

Cool! I'm going to pass the link on to all my model flying friends.
