Title: Southeast Electric Flight Festival
Post by: COndor06 on April 30, 2012, 11:37:51 PM

Ok, So I slept in my trailer and flew RC aircraft for 5 days, does this make me a nerd. I also filmed the event from my drone and made a little video.

Rolex, Its always a pleasure my friend to hear from you. Things are getting a bit crazy since Obama passed the Aviation bill last Feb allowing the commercial use of drones. We will be providing aerial security for the Democratic National Convention this year so yeah, I think we are going to do well. Its been way too long coming.

  Very nice smooth looking video.  :aok  What amount of weather/wind can your drones handle? I can see the use of video drones increasing in the near future.  :O

45 mph on the quads and 75 mph on the helis. We can shoot stable video up to 35-40.

  Awesome, I was wondering for search and rescue because half the time weather is a big factor.
