If I had the change lying around $200 for the motors alone for mine if I ever get to 100hrs. I'm sure someone who was down because of parts you have left would pay more.

Thanks, turns out I'm pretty far north and only going to get a partial and the way the weather goes around here it'll probably be cloudy. My camera is a Fuji HS10, not quite a DSLR it's got an alright non removable lens but the screen and viewfinder are LCDs. Can I burn the the image sensor or...

My dad is a welder and we have poly carbonate plastic 4" X 4" tinted (shade 10-12) cover plates can I stick a fresh one of those in front of my handheld camera or cut one with a holesaw to make a filter? we might have some shade 4-6 1.5" rounds for for torch googles too?

Not sure about all model but when my buddy manged to bypass the OA on my P4 and back it into a wall it killed all motors as soon as one made contact so far as I could tell.

These type of motors (brushless outrunner) are very sturdy by design. The four things you could damage from impact it would be inoperable or make noises, vibration, broken windings, bent shaft, damaged bearings, or dislodged magnet(s) from the can.

I get this in my own yard, rebooting the AC gets rid of the looping messages. Mines funny because I have a 0-6500ft restricted area to the south that's a really odd shape, DJIs warning and restriction zones only come in circles. There solution was to put a circle that covers from the centre to...

No, I don't get jokes, especially bright and early in the morning.

Good call, are there many plugged connections inside the AC, what quality of connectors are used? I'm doubting the use of automotive or aviation grade connectors based on the "don't fly in the rain" in the instructions.

I had to look up VRS in the AACU thread, that lead to some interesting Wiki, did you know there's only one IRL heli that has enough thrust to weight to power out of VRS? the Sikorsky Skycrane, unladen of course. Anyways now that I've read the article this behaviour freaks me out a little...

Definitely could, could also cause icing under the right conditions. For what it's worth I've flown mine in fog and light rain with no problems, you actually make more lift with less power when it's cool and/or humid because the air is more dense. I haven't dissembled my P4 but from what I can...

Of course it is, it'll be like the Canadian gun registry. Scare the law abiding users out of a "registration fee", drag it out as long as possible and bleed lawful users until it's proven the system is doing nothing to stop the people who were using the thing unlawfully, "scrap it", no refunds, lol.

Thankfully I don't like strangers touching me, no matter what they look like, lol. Seriously if you fall for the what "what you're doing is sexy" scam in any capacity you're a born mark and deserve to get robed.

If he was my friend and could wait until next Friday I'd have 2 P4s.

Fair enough, my understanding of micro controllers is limited but my ears don't lie. Something with how the loop of checks and balances is applied on full down stick descent has changed.
