    Just curious, is shooting a bottle rocket from a multi-rotor illegal?

    You guys are killing me. I'll just build one out of a turd. That would be an engineering feat. A dog turd. Wonder if PETA would make that illegal though...

    Just curious, is shooting a bottle rocket from a multi-rotor illegal?

    " Why would you even consider doing something so crazy?" I dont think its crazy. 90% of the fun I get from this hobby is challenging myself in the builds. Most my builds, (tennis racquet, shoe, cardboard box, and so on) I only fly once or twice then move on to the next thing. "Remember that kid...

    Just curious, is shooting a bottle rocket from a multi-rotor illegal?

    First off I'm not going to do this. Just want to see how far these crazy FAA laws go. This is only a discussion. I understand actually doing something like this, even if its legal, would bring negative light to this hobby. I enjoy making strange multi-rotors. So far I have a tennis racquet...

    They seemed to be the best motors on HobbyKing, but they didnt have any 4s motors. I only bought them because I wanted to buy everything from the same website just to get me going. But whats a good website to get 4s motors? Also what size ESCs do you recommend? The ones I bought are 20 gauge but...

    Ok so I placed my first order to get me started. Spent all day yesterday and today learning as much as I could. I for sure could learn a lot more before I purchased parts but I'm too impatient. As of the last 7 hours I've been researching FPV equipment. If anyone wants to add to my list of...

    Thanks, and trust me I want this to consume all my time. I'm averaging $14,000 per year on my drag racing hobby and working on that project every weekend just to race 4 times per year. This hobby could possibly be my savior. Those links are a huge help so thank you very much. "FPV" was the...

    Hi guys and thanks for reading this. My main and only hobby has always been building drag race cars from the ground up, but for Christmas my father bought my brother and I some cheap $70 drones (is that the proper name for these?) with an extremely cheap camera. I couldnt tell you the name of it...
