Chris I am new to APM and would like your advise. I too fly delta wings and the APM 'out of box' configuration is for Skywalker. Please could you tell me what configuration changes I have to make on my APM to…

Hi, I wish you the best of luck. I've tried several times to generate interest with DARPA but haven't yet managed to tickle their fancy. What market will you be aiming your device towards? Julie

Hooks Don't know yet. I will receive it in 2 weeks time. I am primarily using this to record in HD. I will let you know about AV when it arrives. I will also run a Fly-cam-one Eco on the plane.

I am glad that this has been mentioned, '2.4Ghz RC plus 2.4Ghz video transmission'. How do you get around this issue?

The owner of Maja recommended this motor: Brushless Outrunner motor PULSAR 20 is suitable for model airplanes with flying weight of 1200 ~ 1800g * It can deliver comparable performance to a .25 size glow engine * mounting hardware and…

The Maja is German and like their cars, not cheap but well designed. Take a look: http://www.borjet.de/xtc/product_info.php?info=p31_MAJA-Traegersystem.html

Eye-in-the-sky commented on Michael Donat's blog post 'Dynam Hawk Sky Brushless/Li-Poly/4ch RTF $119.00 EasyStar clone.'

Firstly, I agree with Peter Meister on a purpose built platform. There is enough 'brain power' and experience in this DIY Drones site to get this done. Well as for my Cloud Axn, it has crashed many times, including snapping it in half and…

I fly one of these and they are only $59 each. The Cloud has alot of room in it and is robust. I am using it as a testbed for a camera first. This guy in Hong Kong sells…

That's the way it goes.
