I'm pretty sure they are not the same thing. The director of national parks put out the ban for the parks, but don't think he has any say so over the forest. But I haven't been able to find out anything where the National Forest Service director or administration has banned them.

I know we are banned from National Parks, but what about National Forests?

Re: what to do when someone calls to complain about you flyi It is only an offense in Texas if you are flying with the "intent to conduct surveillance of the individual or property captured in the image". If you are simply flying and capturing video without a specific intent of surveillance...

Honestly the best advice I can give you is to simply practice. But since you are probably looking for more, go to a kids football field. Hover it at the goal line. Walk to the various yard lines to get a feel for the distance perspective. For height I guess you could fly along side a...

Was that on opening day? I considered flying there and then but decided against it because of the high winds that day. On one other note, I hope Johnny law did not issue a citation. That land you were flying over is City of Arlington park land and there is a city ordinance prohibiting any RC...

Just an FYI for those trying to figure out how far they may get with their FPV system. I got 2025 meters out of my FPV system today. I'm using the DJI 5.8 VDL set with the circular antennas. I did add a 90º connector because I read it is best not to bend the coax and I wanted the TX antenna...

I'm just waiting for the class action lawsuit that is bound to happen. I mean, their website pretty much says you need the Bluetooth Datalink which is available. OH, THEY FORGOT to put in the small fact that the firmware isn't available yet. On the bright side, as Bill Mentions, they have...

Ok, a lot of people seem to be kind of criticizing his list. Yea some of them are common sense things. But now go search the Fly-Away threads and see how many people haven't done something that was common sense. :D

This is a new question but FPV related so I'll keep this thread going. If you can't tell, I'm really enjoying FPV. My next upgrade I'm thinking of is a dual antenna system on my ground station end. I'll probably get a helical antenna to go with the omni directional one that came with the AVL...

My DJI AVL TX is reverse polarity so I had to find a RP SMA adapter. But I found it here if anyone needs one. http://www.data-alliance.net/servlet/-s ... ale/Detail

I was unaware of that! Thank you for this information! -

And if you are already above 60' when it loses a signal, it will remain at the height you are currently at before it comes down.

I have the standard DJI 5.8 transmitter. (I ordered it here, http://www.heli-world.com/detail.aspx?ID=10932) I'm not sure what the transmitter power is. The only specs I have found on it say it's tranmitter power is "28 dBm ± 1 dBm" I'd love to know what it is if someone knows maybe they can...

I've always had it pointed down. Everything I've ever read said to point it down. I did have it going off of the side originally, but still pointed down. I didn't have the greatest of luck with it there BUT I only had a few flights with it that way and I really didn't try to take into account...

Wait a minute. He said if he is NOT in Naza Mode. I thought that if he wasn't in Naza mode Home Lock would not function no matter what the position of the left switch is. I may be misunderstaning this or simply misunderstaning the terminology. I am assuming NAZA mode is set in the Assistant...
