I'm from a R/C airplane background, total losses are just part of it. It's no wonder anyone with time and money invested into R/C aircraft find the time to double and triple check before each flight no matter how rich you are. Try losing an airplane you have hundreds of hours into building, on...

That is the weirdest article ive read about drones so far, i would reccommend that we all start calling them R/C helicopter's again before this gets out of hand.

I seen this reaction probably seven years or so ago with an old wingo with leds on it, we had floats on it and were flying from a pretty small pond. It was all LOS in those days lol if you lost sight it was all over. I recall several people at there back doors pointing at something probably 500...

Nice read, that did it for me btw. Im one of those guys at the r/c field that loves a tear or two unless its my own.Seen a guy dumb thumb one of those giant scale B17's years ago, i still dout that he's ok. We really should be able to adjust the RTH altitudes and network options... Glad its...

Awesome man your great, have a good day.

The motor appears at first to be lose from the mount but closer inspectin reveals its a little bit of play between the top casing on the motor and the...

Did you make this happen? pics? Sounds very cool i wanna seeeee!!

Military surplus ammo cans with a little hole drilled in them work well enough for charging,cheap enough to buy a few to keep them seperated etc. Keep in mind companys around the world keep lipos in stock inside giant warehouses without issue. Its when there damaged or charged incorrectly it...

That sounds like an automated response, or the response of someone who failed to read the entire message. Typical in email support communications. I'm pretty disappointed with all the DNG hype and let down. DJI has made a wonderful platform for AP dont get me wrong, maybe they should focus on...

Were going out to shoot at a park today, completly open shade right now. Were gonna leave the polarizer on but might not need it today. Its attached very carefully with electrical tape at this point, centered well and slightly raised from the fc200 lens, its causing vignetting at the edges but...
