    Can One Fly Two Quads At Once?

    My grandson and I have a pair of Promark VR70 that will bind to the same transmitter if you aren't careful. Just for grins I attempted to fly both at the same time intentionally. What an exciting experience that turned into. Sounds good in theory but the reality isn't so good. Minor...

    911, what's your emergency.....

    I don't have to be wanting to hide anything to not want to be watched.

    Looking for drone enthusiasts as beta testers to assist in testing & improving our new product

    Your post is pretty vague. Who are you? What are you? What type of drone?

    Can a City Enact an Ordinance Regulating or Restricting Quad Flight?

    I initially didn't see much wrong with this ordinance, but the more I look at it the more it bothers me. The FAA is the licensing authority for things that fly, to include UAVs. The FAA sets the criteria for when a pilot is required to have a license. This city is requiring you to have a FAA...

    A Drone-Flinging Cannon Proves UAVs Can Mangle Planes

    The impact forces are the same whether both objects are moving at 100 mph or one is stationary with the other moving at 200 mph.

    Can a City Enact an Ordinance Regulating or Restricting Quad Flight?

    I've read the ordinance and can't really see anything that objectionable. I've seen some pretty reckless flying done around people. While not everyone is at fault, the innocent often pays the price for the guilty. If I was in a public park or on the beach with my family, I'd not care for...

    Can a $20 camera take good video?

    It's not a UFO. It's a unidentified Stationary object. It shows up in the same spot every time the camera fov passes by the sun. Massive sunspot? Black hole slowly eating our sun?

    Long range DIY autopilot drone, mainly Pixhawk questions

    The QX7 has four 3-way switches. How many do you feel is needed for long range? What would they be used for? The S9D has six.

    Flying cars? You know they will be really a QUAD! Just bigger.

    Low pressure, direct application to problem area.

    Flying cars? You know they will be really a QUAD! Just bigger.

    True, but I don't think these operators would be considered pilots by today's standards.

    Flying cars? You know they will be really a QUAD! Just bigger.

    This is an interesting concept but I doubt it will fly (00ps). The infrastructure required to support it in any meaningful way just won't happen for several reasons, cost probably being at the top of the list. A system like this would likely have very limited paths. People that want to fly...

    Flying cars? You know they will be really a QUAD! Just bigger.

    Flying through the trees isn't what I have in mind. Its movement would be pretty much limited to vertical with little horizontal movement. Like I said, the whole thing may turn out to be dumb. It wouldn't be the first dumb thing I've tried, nor the last.

    Flying cars? You know they will be really a QUAD! Just bigger.

    Not quite the same thing but I'm mulling over a quad design to be used for spraying trees, primarily web worms. It will be tethered to a ground based station that provides power and pumps the spray up to a extended boom spray nozzle mounted on the quad. No need for the quad to carry the...

    Props may be mounted right, but are the motors turning the right direction?

    I Modified my Phantom 3 to Launch Rockets

    Nobody said G.W. mounted a gun on his quad. For this thread to sidetrack over to the story about the Connecticut kid that mounted a pistol on his quad and posted a video showing it firing is pretty natural, don't you think? Regardless, firing guns, rockets,... from RC vehicles is foolish and...

    I Modified my Phantom 3 to Launch Rockets

    Last I saw the Feds were still trying to figure out if any Fed law/reg had been violated. https://abcnews.go.com/US/gun-firing-drone-subject-federal-investigation/story?id=32585072

    Practicing power loops, some proximity tree dodging

    You would probably find that a lot are younger video gamers that grew up with a game controller in their hands. When you put the goggles on how different is it from a game?
