True that!!!

I'm not saying that flying wings are bad. They are just usually too fast for me.

Too used to rudder and elevator. Everyone tells me you just need elevator and ailerons, but I am old school.

just get a easy star put ailerons on it and put on your equipment and dont worry about the rest a easy star will fly its self all u got to do is fine tune the direction a bit you wont be sorry you can use some henerys cloth and 3m90 to reinfoce the fuse under the batt bay so your equipment will be protected it is a good flying craft i have 2 of them getting ready to order more for 73 dollars thats not expencive at all and if you do crash it you can use medium ca to glue it back together again and fly it again in a few minutes of repairs unlike a wood kit you crash it it is destroyed but good luck anyway keep us posted

well grammer is not the end of the world on this forum. flying illeagel uavs in the united states is what you half to worry about not grammer . i work for the state of missouri and i checked in on it and it is illegal to operate in the nas system .you can only fly it in line of sight and no auto flight is allowed only thing that is allowed is return home .just like aerial photography for hire is illegal the faa has got to give approval for such uses and that take a lot of hurdle jumping and money to do and the arc has not ruled on any of the new rules to allow except for the military they are not goverened buy anybody . but if you do fpv you might be able to get away with it and then there is a size and weight limit on that . i dont own a uav i own a plane for fpv 3 or 4 of them

but i do fly and do pictures for my friends and family it's not my fault if they grease my pocket book i dont charge they give me gas money so i get around being considered commercial . during my off time with the state i'm off all summer prime flying time and good friends always show up in summer time for thier exchange of gas money for a favor ....

Getting gas money is considered benefit, that is commercial work.

RolandS888 · Nov 09, 2009, 03:46 AM

Yep, thats correct, its commercial, make sure you declare the income for taxation purposes.

I ran out of breath at about line 4.

wbuttry · Nov 10, 2009, 07:53 PM

its not commercical if you do pics for free they just wanna see me fly and pay me for the gas to come out for them to watch me fly my little plane anyway. i own a 75 ft mast. and im also employed buy half of the real estate agents in town to do photos for the agency im employed by. plus do yard work for them cut trees so i get paid for that stuff to not just the aerial side its all good. by the way there is periods at the end of every sentence no capitals but there are periods thank you for not noticing
