Maybe we should start using them? The questions described above do seem mildly relevant. I am not approaching this from a standpoint of passing the test only. I think there's a good opportunity for education with it too. I'm learning some things I've never thought about before, and I've been...

I agree - learning to fly manually and even in acro mode will really help when (not if, but when) your bigger drones lose their GPS connection. Everyone should be able to fly manually by line of sight. Losing the FPV and the GPS at the same time does happen. I feel sorry for the folks who are...

Is that even possible right now? I don't think the test is finalized.

I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7-inch, and everything works nicely, except I had to use a bit of foam to get it to hold tightly in the bracket on the radio. The screen is bright enough to use in Arizona, and the image is big enough for me.

I've seen that article before. They are kinda missing the point. Theoretically, a person never sees individual pixels while looking at a TV screen no matter what. The difference in sharpness can be noticed without seeing individual pixels. I have a 4K TV, and I can tell the difference between HD...

It is freekin incredible. I'm amazed by the quality of this community every single day. Mostly :) I think this is going to go just like the web explosion did back in the early 2000s. We're going to see a lot of hacks trying (and failing) to make a business for a while, but those folks will die...

This is a weird thread for sure... I mean, Youtube isn't a private video archive, it's a video sharing site. Presumably, if your video is on Youtube, it's because you wanted to share it, either with friends and family or the whole world. Either way, sharing it again on Facebook isn't that big of...

I don't think you should set the controller down. Someone needs to be controlling the thing. Pretty sure it's adamant about that in the manual. Since it would be operating in a GPS-dependent mode, you need to be able to take manual control quickly if something goes wrong. If you're the only one...

Here's the video I used to get that photo... it shows the layout of the park. It does have a nice runway!

Yeah you get the props and arms in it, but when you're doing panoramas you can crop that out of each frame and still stitch it good enough. Photoshop can fill in the missing corners with impressively realistic results :) Thude Park is an electric field, there's a clear sign about the rules...

Hello, I'm a long-time APM user, but just "upgraded" to Solo and so far I'm loving it! And I know... I hate to drop in with a question right away, but... How do I unlock the gimbal angle to point "up" so I could have got the tops of these clouds? Where is the best place to search for stuff...
