    FAA registration for an N number

    According to the FAA, you do. However, the argument could be made that in many cases you don't. Take this with a grain of salt as I am not a lawyer, and this is in no way legal advice. According to the FAA, "While Section 333 grants the Secretary of Transportation flexibility with regard to...

    How to convert a Phantom 2 to have FPV and data of a Plus ?

    Re: How to convert a Phantom 2 to have FPV and data of a Plu A little late, but it turns out that if you make the radio conversion like you have, you can use the 2.4ghz Wi-Fi module and range extender for the P2V+ along with the Vision app. Besides those two parts, all you would need is a P2V+...

    A question for some techies (more experienced than me)

    You would probably need some kind of controller on the drone end to receive messages and interpret them as open ciruit/close circuit. Think like turning on an LED with an arduino, but using a remote.

Getting a live feed is the easy part. My plan is to remove the stock anti-interference board and replace it with the...

    ISO Broken Gimbal or Good Motor

    Yeah, that's pretty much what happened. I don't know exactly what he did because I wasn't there, but from what I understand he didn't read the manual and never did any kind of calibration. Supposedly he took his fingers off the controls and it went off on its own and crashed into something...

    ISO Broken Gimbal or Good Motor

    I am very new to quadcopters. In fact, I haven't flown one yet. However, I am learning a lot about repairs. My company got a Vision 2+ for "fun." When all of the legality of drone commercialization is figured out, we have some plans for it, but for now it's just a hobby that people happen to...
