    Any CASA RePL qualified pilots here?

    Did my training with Ross at Aviassist. Was a great week. I could already fly UAVs, rc hellis and planes so I did the prac stuff pretty quick but the sit down content was very interesting

    Wetsuits ????

    Electric motors are fine to get wet and even submerged, the only thing you have to worry about is rust.

    Wetsuits ????

    If it’s made out of wetsuit material than it’s not water proof, it’s meant to trap a small layer of water between the material and what it’s protecting to keep warm so totally not cool for a mavic. It lets water through and actually keep heats in. Why are people so eager to fly in rain and snow...

    Car charger

    This is similar to the one I have I think mine is 9-15 in and 13.8 out at 10 amps. Looks the same though https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F263223115525

    Car charger

    Dc to dc is the way that I found that has the least wasted power to charge a battery if you don’t want leave your car running or you have a computer controlled alternator. If you have a fairly modern car with smart alternator then you will need the dc to dc converter even if the car is running...

    Car charger

    Using an inverter will flatten your car battery quicker than just using the 12v charger. If you use an inverter then the car will have to run.

    Need recommendations for Drone Cinematography Courses

    How long will it take you to drive to a class,attend the class and drive home? use that time instead to watch a few videos on YouTube. When you start seeing different people saying the same thing then write that down, it must have some merit if 2 or 3 people are saying the same thing. You will...

    Car charger

    The engine doesn’t have to be running, buy yourself a dc to dc converter. You will need one that does 9-15v input and 13.8v output at 10amps. U will not have to leave the car running that way, if people say your car battery will go flat, false. U would probably have to charge up 4 or more...

    My car charger is acting up

    If it’s a computer controlled alternator then there will be a whole new set of drama. The computer will disable the alternator when the battery is full to save fuel. Best to get a 10amp dc to converter rated at 9-15volt input and 13.8volt output.
