Looking at their product, I wonder how hard and how much $$ it would cost to make your own home-build type version?
I was trying to work out why there was something that looked like an LCD screen on the upper-side of the wing and then I realized that is just a regular point-and-shoot camera.
An EyeFi card (perhaps with an antenna built into the wing) would make a relatively easy upgrade from their current setup which looks like you have to wait to retrieve the plane before you can view the images.
As the website states local laws may not allow you to run a UAV domestically - anyone know what the laws would be here in US?
- Devilboy 16y agoIn the US you can fly AUVs like this one as long as you keep it in visual range at all times (and stay away from restricted airspace)
- cameldrv 16y agoNot necessarily true anymore. The FAA has said that using these for commercial purposes is a violation of the FARs.
- mableflapster 16y agoCan you provide a reference to this info? So you can't buy this for comercial purposes?
- Devilboy 16y agoYea you are correct, I forgot to include 'as a hobby'.
- chopsueyar 16y agoIs there an FAA distinction between fully and semi autonomous?
