Hi Rob This is a great article. I've had a keen interest in the RC hobby for 40yrs+ especially the aviation branch. I like your approach of how you have added a huge fun and adventure factor in your overall approach to flying that includes the not so glamorous side compliance side. I'm a big...

Hi Posters Wow, as I a newbie this stuff applies to me as both a recreational and wanna-be commercial operator. Based on the 3 pages of posts I found both scientific and practical experience from a number of operators/pilots and will try to apply what I've learned. If I'm better informed and...

I'm a newbie too so you never stop learning. Oh, I guess it was a calculated risk. Hopefully, one of the Mav Community suppliers can assist. I've read alot of excellent posts and positive feedback by THUNDERDRONES trying to help out the Mav Community. I like how they try to help out especially...
