    Yet another "drone near an airport" story

    I'm the imbecile. No idea why CBS Atlanta linked to the wrong video. This is the video that caused the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5en716JIYn4 . In this video, I went to 3,600. I have made it 4,000+. Zero mods, just a Futaba 14SG radio and a full battery.

    I was investigated by the FAA for flying in Class C airspace

    Re: I was investigated by the FAA for flying in Class C airs Very nice, thank you. I've been looking at the maps on airnav.com but this is much better.

    I was investigated by the FAA for flying in Class C airspace

    Re: I was investigated by the FAA for flying in Class C airs No worries, I completely agree. I just compared the FAA employee's phone number with the number listed on the contact page below and they have the same area code and prefix so it's definitely not a hoax. I think they had to follow up...

    Re: I was investigated by the FAA for flying in Class C airs Not trolling. Here's the envelope it came in. Not sure how else to prove it.

    I was investigated by the FAA for flying in Class C airspace

    Re: I was investigated by the FAA for flying in Class C airs I thought so too at first! It definitely wasn't. It was just a local FAA being forced to deal with a complaint that stemmed from an immature Internet argument.

    I was investigated by the FAA for flying in Class C airspace

    FAA Letter: http://i.imgur.com/OthKCf9.jpg TL;DR: Posted stupid video on YouTube/Reddit, got reported to the FAA, they contacted me and said STOP. 10 days ago I submitted a YouTube video to /r/djiphantom of my Phantom 2 ascending 1.1km (3640ft). I also linked the Flytrex data which included...

    EzUHF with Futaba 14SG

    This is 100% accurate. Ordered the EzUHF prematurely. I just assumed the Phantom 2's Naza allowed PPMs since the Phantom 1 did. Very disappointing. On the plus side, it appears I really don't need it. I'm able to consistently get 3km+ with the stock receiver and the Futaba 14SG. With the Phantom...

    EzUHF with Futaba 14SG

    Tomorrow my EzUHF tx/rx and Futaba 14SG comes in. I can't find any clear-cut instructions so I'm wondering if anyone else has went this route and has any "gotchas" to share. The one thing I'm seeing is the Futaba 14SG battery is 6V and the EzUHF Tx input is 9.6V. I understand I could power the...

    New to the hobby and FPV. Did I buy the right stuff?

    I've done a lot of research and reading but just want to make sure I'm not missing a component to make FPV work the way I'm expecting. I *think* I've bought the right components to do FPV to from my Phantom 2 to a FatShark w/ mini-iOSD overlay. Would you guys be so kind to look over the list...
