1. The FAA has been over-ruled by the courts when they have tried to fine someone. (At least from the ones I have seen so far) 2. Texas already has a drone law that is not difficult to live by from a "commercial" standpoint. (Just be smart and get permission) 3. There is a strong need for...

Just got a hit off of the website for a recurring construction gig. Thanks! How can I edit my listing though? I'd like to add some things to the description.

That is KSAT. Weekend stories are even worse with spelling and grammar errors.

Have not had any issues when flying my Phantom. I keep the software is up to date and am patient when waiting for satellites to connect and I do a compass calibration before the first flight of the day even though I may not have to. If I land and just swap the battery I do not do the compass...

Here's my hauler. Your every day run of the mill F150. I was at the lake playing with the camera. Thought it looked cool.

Ask the guy at UT that was arrested and had his Phantom confiscated. The school said the property was private and that the pilot broke Texas law when he took photos. He was flying over the crowds in the stadium during a football game. At a minimum I would ask for permission before taking off.

Austin has a motto "Keep Austin Weird" Well this is keeping with that motto and it has a drone twist. http://www.ksat.com/content/pns/ksat/news/2014/09/03/police--man-assaulted-neighbor--damaged-his-drone.html

I apologize to Tom. I felt he was disrespectful towards someone that was trying to help him and I called him out on it. Turns out I was called out. Again, I apologize.

Good story. Thank you for sharing.

I am not big on mods but I love the telemetry you have on that thing. I was also getting into the soundtrack on the return. How much battery did you have left? I have to give you props Rich. You made a mistake first time out. Owned up to it and made the necessary corrections. You even took...

So let me get this straight. Tom, you are new to this and you are (by your own words) "Overwhelmed" by the knowledge of the people on this board. You ask questions which is cool. When a member with over 550 posts offers you an answer with a link to your questions, you challenge him. Not so cool.

There isn't a law. The FAA prohibits the use of unmanned aircraft systems for business purposes. Below is an excerpt from the January 6, 2014 FAA Fact Sheet. Model Aircraft Recreational use of airspace by model aircraft is covered by FAA Advisory Circular 91-57, which generally limits...

I see you mounted your camera guard above the skids. I stuck mine in the slot of the skids.

Wow. It was screaming on the return!
