You might look at using a low power spread spectrum 900Mhz radio, less interference, no frequency coordination with FCC required and line of sight is ...

There is another paragraph in ORS 837.380 that would seem to allow a surveyor to operate over private property. (3)A person may not bring an action u...

Not much to report, the transaction was smooth and the pole I bought better than I could hope for (a carbon fiber pole for about 20% of new, that was ...

Very true. I finally took a job driving commercially in 2013 and that took me until 2015 when surveying here in Oregon got busy enough to support me f...

Leica has had that offset going back 40+ years, why it wasn't adopted by everyone is a bit of a mystery. Once you understand why they did the 34.5 mm ...

Canada, not US based, but they ship to US and while I have only purchased once, it was a good experience. SHG

@pkm04558 yep, but not all UAV's are set up as nice as the Wingtra, definitely a nice platform and actually some thought into mapping by the engineers...

@flga-2-2 true, but that seems impractical for every flight. I understand the 400' AGL and it is a good rule since other than take off landing cycles,...

Based on the FAA exact response; "The 400 ft AGL operating limitation is based on the altitude beneath the drone at any time", I think it is obvious i...

@james-fleming FYI, we have been known to travel 🙂 One plane is in California this week. Last year we did acquestion in MI, CO and UT and a couple we...

This is all theoretical, no specific project in mind, but do see where it could be an issue and why I asked the FAA. Bottom line is the pilot must nev...

Well yes that would be best, then you could make sure to not bust the 400' AGL. I suspect most either don't worry about it, or fly considerably under...

James thanks for reaching out. Just to close the loop for future readers, we made contact off line. SHG

I know this is a old thread, but Isn't the Wingtra in same general price as a M300? I know with the L1 the M300 is between $30-40K all in. The wingtra...

Certainly not time to sell if you bought when it was up 20%, at this point unless it goes to zero you haven't lost that money yet 🙂 Time to sell was...

I have now inherited another mostly complete RCS setup, the controller on that 2nd set is dead, but between the two sets I have all bits and parts to ...

Gene, I have one with about a year of experience but haven't used the imaging too much, only to get coordinates on some aerial control that was in tra...
