    The I'm going out flying thread 2016

    What a great day of flying at Friendly Flyers in Jersey, GA today. Temps started frosty but climbed steadily to the mid 50's. A bit of a breeze from the South/South East kept it brisk all day. Had our annual meeting at 9:00 this morning and after the meeting, most everybody drove across the...

    DA 50 Fuel Tank Size?

    What size tank would you recommend for 10-15 minutes of mostly 3D flying? I'm not talking the high energy, wtfo, flying. Harriers, hovering, rollers etc... BJ Swope

    AMA and Multirotors

    From my conversation with him, I think he was looking at jtec's email like it was simply giant scale complaining because multi-rotor is getting much of their focus. I had to explain multiple times that was not our concern. We are concerned that regulation on multiple levels will negatively...

    AMA and Multirotors

    I called him to clarify our concerns and he began the conversation thinking that we were upset about how much attention to sUAS the AMA is focusing.
