South Florida's number one live and local conservative talk show host ripped into the FAA today for their illogical drone regulations. It started out to be full segment promotion to get the general public involved in raising funds to support a lawsuit against the FAA, a promotion where Joyce...

Tell him to take his C&D letter and stuff it where the sun doesn't shine, a Federal Judge has just ruled the FAA has no jurisdiction over model airplane operations be they commercial or not. http://www.kramerlevin.com/files/upload ... cision.pdf Wayne

Another idea is to disconnect the LED's and replace them with LED strobes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq8rOCwjuNc Wayne

Sounds like you lost a prop. Wayne

There's nothing wrong with using Loctite on the screws but it must be used in a small enough quantity to not spread beyond the metallic inserts. A drop can be literally too much, it works best to just allow the Loctite to run into a couple of threads in the middle of the screw and then allow it...

I did something similar and built strobes for my Phantom which work well even in bright sunlight. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq8rOCwjuNc Wayne

I just checked with the shop I do business with in Hallandale Florida and they have them in stock $69.95, open Mon-Sat, I think 11am-7pm and yes they do mail-order. http://ct-motorsports.com/Products.html Wayne

Consider yourself lucky, trees never lose and sometimes Phantoms do. Had an oak tree get in my way and the results where not pretty, suffered a shattered prop and destroyed the lower shell. The little white and red dots are not part of the damage, just overspray from it laying under the spray...

Re: Preventative Maintenance checklists The screws retaining the tips of the Phantoms arms are 2mm x .4 mm x 8 mm standard thread. Technically, once a locktited screw has been removed or requires re-torquing the old locktite should be removed from the threads and replaced with a new touch of...

Do you have a link detailing how to do that? Wayne

Amen, how true.

That should have read 14 watts and that would be omni. Oops. Thats why I pointed that out in my post, in an urban area the ERP is commonly lowered to allow for frequency reuse, whereas out in a rual area the power is many time cranked up sometimes way up and when he took a boreshot of that...

A lot of panel antennas look like that and are still in service, none the less it could very well be decommissioned. The maximum "legal" power for 2.4 gHz is 4 watts EIRP, but Clearwire/Sprint use licensed frequencies in the 2.5 gHz band and are not restricted as such. As deployed the ERP...

Thanks for posting that, this is something (interference and Phantoms) I am quite interested in learning as much as i can about. Wayne

It all depends on what is up there. Where was the video posted? Wayne
