I will know in the next few days if I am staying in Sydney or relocating.

I like the idea of some company to help make these machines work well.

Now that I have my small quadcopter flying OK, I would like to get FPV working well too. I am trying to put 2 cameras on the quad, a Hero GoPro and a small Sony CCD. I like the idea of being able to switch back and forth between them.

A Sydney group would be good, I'd join too.

Maybe you should start a group in Sydney, I'll join!

Are there any groups in Sydney playing with quadcopters for a hobby?

When and where?

Hi Jay, I think the media will give a good crack but I don't think they will succeed.

I am from Adelaide out near TTP of north east road.

Hi to all, my first post here great to see an active forum for AUV's in Australia. It was mentioned CASA has begun overhauling the rules, does any one know when this might actually happen. I also liked the letter by David, this paranoia of drones is just the beginning, id say they better get used to it, exponential growth in this technology is imminent.(Any one from South Australia)

This is also where AUVSI's media unit could help... you could try alerting Melanie Hinton, Senior Communications Manager, to these articles and see if you can't get her (or her team) to talk to The Age and offer them some credible information on the industry and the usage of drones.

Comment by Jean-Baptiste on February 17, 2013 at 6:56pm

David, that letter looks great.  It would certainly be fantastic if we could get the media on our side, to forestall any fear-mongering and the resultant hysteria/paranoia like what is happening in the U.S.
