Not sure where the appropriate place is for this sort of thing, but recently I was having trouble with my MB1200 sonar that was shipped with my 3DR kit. No matter what the distance, I always received…Continue

Hi all:I'm having some trouble with to MB1200 sonar on my quad. No matter where it's mounted on the quad or how high/where it's pointed, the only value in the CLI test is 675 cm.My quad is the stock…Continue

Wondering what would cause my radio controls to become reversed after connecting to APM Planner to change out of simple mode. Here's what I did:My quad was in simple mode so I connected it via usb…Continue

Sure, the FAA has posted some announcements deeming any commercial use illegal, but how is it being enforced? How does it stack up against their own…"

Jason Tinacci commented on Jason Tinacci's blog post Above Napa Valley"I'm blown away by and really grateful for the conversation that's taken place on this post. And here I just thought I was posting a pretty picture.
As I mentioned earlier, the point and shoot camera I used for this image isn't…"
Skydog222 commented on Jason Tinacci's blog post Above Napa Valley"Hasufel,
This is a quote from this FAQ (http://www.faa.gov/about/initiatives/uas/uas_faq/) on the FAA site:
"Can I fly a UAS under a COA or experimental certificate for commercial purposes?
No. Currently, there are no means to obtain an…"
Hasufel commented on Jason Tinacci's blog post Above Napa Valley"Thank you Skydog, although the content of your link is the same as the first document I linked to (http://www.faa.gov/library/manuals/aviation/instrument_flying_handbook/media/faa-h-8083-15a%20-%20chapter%2008.pdf), however with a better explanation…"

Check out this site...it will explain a little more about the classes of airspace.

Hasufel commented on Jason Tinacci's blog post Above Napa Valley"Thank you Seth for always pointing in the right directions. How do you do that? :)
Those news regulations will indeed take much time... I take note and write down this infamous date of August, 2014 in my watch-of-the-north-wall agenda. "Drone…"
Seth commented on Jason Tinacci's blog post Above Napa Valley"Hasufel,
See section 2 of 8130.34A for the permitted operations under an experimental certificate. As to what classes of airspace you are restricted to, for amateur and hobbyist use, Advisory Circular 91-57A is the applicable document, and it makes…"
Hasufel commented on Jason Tinacci's blog post Above Napa Valley"wow Seth, 7110.65U is a keeper! Incredible amount of information inside it. Will take me months if not years to grasp the extent of USA air regulations with just this document :)
I didn't find any information as to what kind of Airspace we were…"
Seth commented on Jason Tinacci's blog post Above Napa Valley"Several points:
1. The FAA will haul Jason to court quite easily- they are part of the federal government. Ask someone busted for shining lasers into the cockpits of passing airliners how they feel about the FAA's ability to affect someone…"
Hasufel commented on Jason Tinacci's blog post Above Napa Valley"Thank you Jason for the picture :)
I'm in awe when I read the comments tho. The question of 'illegal' usage from 10 meters high arose quickly, until Skydog statements. Interesting, but as the situation seems almost…"
Skydog222 commented on Jason Tinacci's blog post Above Napa Valley"Jason,
Excellent photo! Great job on getting your quad up in the air to bring back such beautiful imagery! Isn’t it such a rewarding feeling to see it in action and then get these results!
Seth,
You are correct in…"

"I like to stay at Indian Springs in Calistoga because the unused Glider Port is an excellent area to fly. I did a 5km Easy Star flight there 2 years ago with the original Ardupilot and IR sensors. Seems like ages since I've been able to fly a…"
Jason Tinacci commented on Jason Tinacci's blog post Above Napa Valley"Lukas,
I too, have wondered how some of the aerial production companies that are providing commercial work are able to do it. Are they simply tempting fate?! Sounds like it.
When I was looking into a system to build and learn for the sake of…"
Jason Tinacci commented on Jason Tinacci's blog post Above Napa Valley"Seth, Looks like I posted just as your reply was in queue so you certainly provided an answer to my questions about selling aerial photos for stock use. I should have perhaps qualified my statement about being "familiar" with the…"

It really takes very little to become hooked on all this UAV stuff... Of course the learning curve for a complete and utter noob such as myself has been immense, but the payoff has been equally so. Being able to send my stock 3DR soaring above a sun-baked vineyard and have it return with a treasure trove of images including one like this, make all the time, frustration and money completely worth it!
Thanks to all of the developers, testers and enthusiasts…
