    Redundant FAA Registration?

    Hi- I contacted the FAA about the new registration process. They told me the registration process is separate and that you need to register the drone even if you have an N number and valid 333 exemption? I would think the N number would suffice.

    Flying under ground?

    Use a piece of pvc pipe as a bar and lower the unit with 2 Mason lines. On top, have a second pvc pipe and small pulleys and small cleats to tie off the lines. The orientation of the top pipe will match the orientation of the bottom pipe.

    FAA registration and form AC Form 8050-1

    P3P maximum height?

    As you ascend, the air gets thinner, giving the props less to bite into. An airplane has the added problem of generating less hp as it ascends. I'm not sure of how much of a performance hit the P3 will take, but even if it had unlimited power, there would be a point where it would stop...

    My aircraft -- Doesn't match your serial number on the bird?

    Mine doesn't match either. Wish I had seen that before I registered it with the FAA. I used the box S/N.

    iPad Mini vs Full-Size iPad

    I started with the iPhone 6+ on a Friday, moved to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 - 7" on Wednesday, then got the iPad mini 2 a couple of days later. This took me from a 6" to 7" to 8" display. IMHO, the mini is the perfect size and weight. If I had the Air, I'm sure I would have used that. Also, the...

    Updating firmware for REMOTE CONTROLLER

    Delete the txt file and try again. That looks like the log file from the aircraft. It should take about 60 seconds for the controller to start updating. Also, it might already be up to date.
