"It depends on your skills, from the sound of it I would say you should give it a shot on repairing, make sure all the test work out on the bench and just be cautious if you ever fly with it. But almost always worth the shot"

"Im a fan of the V antenna with low pass filter. Range video sells both of those. I get a pretty good reception at distance. Im planning on getting a patch antenna on the ground side too."

"can't complain too much, after all it is free money. though I did not like the luck aspect, last year I could at least get something. This year it was a few too many frustrating hours for nothing. Still a cool thing for a company to do."

"Yeah... the current "Captcha" system many people use is so frustratingly unreadable.  Most of the time, if a site uses that Captcha system, I take the exit and won't even register."

"For all things about amateur Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)"

So I propose a irc channel where veterans of diydrones can idle and walk people through some of the easier tasks. So I would like to invite anyone who would like to join me… Continue
