Very nice.  What do you have to do to get your commercial drone license?  Would be great to hook up with local real estate companies to do aerial shots!!

A test and a $150. Got to pass part 107 of the FAA thingie. They keep hanging the rule so fast. I'm not quite sure what you need right now.

Bear. I'm not sure just how far my quadcopter can go. I guessing about a mile or two. As far as cost, well, I built this thing trying to save money. That and no one finances UAVs ;) So, I figured building one would be easier and cheaper. WITH the GoPro 3+ Silver that I use. It rounded out to just over $900, but, the camera was $400 and theres FAR cheaper options for the camera. I just happen to have two GoPros so,,,,. I could had saved a couple hundred on it if I'd went with a cheaper transmitter and receiver than Futaba, but, I wanted the best or as near to it as I could get and the money hit just at the right time to get the one I got. That and I picked up a $375 Futaba for $200. Cant help myself, it was a KILLER buy.

Flt #4 Just s short hop to test my gimbal setting.

§107.31   Visual line of sight aircraft operation.

(a) With vision that is unaided by any device other than corrective lenses, the remote pilot in command, the visual observer (if one is used), and the person manipulating the flight control of the small unmanned aircraft system must be able to see the unmanned aircraft throughout the entire flight in order to:

(1) Know the unmanned aircraft's location;

(2) Determine the unmanned aircraft's attitude, altitude, and direction of flight;

(3) Observe the airspace for other air traffic or hazards; and

(4) Determine that the unmanned aircraft does not endanger the life or property of another.

(b) Throughout the entire flight of the small unmanned aircraft, the ability described in paragraph (a) of this section must be exercised by either:

(1) The remote pilot in command and the person manipulating the flight controls of the small unmanned aircraft system; or

(2) A visual observer.


§107.51   Operating limitations for small unmanned aircraft.

A remote pilot in command and the person manipulating the flight controls of the small unmanned aircraft system must comply with all of the following operating limitations when operating a small unmanned aircraft system:

(a) The groundspeed of the small unmanned aircraft may not exceed 87 knots (100 miles per hour).

(b) The altitude of the small unmanned aircraft cannot be higher than 400 feet above ground level, unless the small unmanned aircraft:

(1) Is flown within a 400-foot radius of a structure; and

(2) Does not fly higher than 400 feet above the structure's immediate uppermost limit.

(c) The minimum flight visibility, as observed from the location of the control station must be no less than 3 statute miles. For purposes of this section, flight visibility means the average slant distance from the control station at which prominent unlighted objects may be seen and identified by day and prominent lighted objects may be seen and identified by night.

(d) The minimum distance of the small unmanned aircraft from clouds must be no less than:

(1) 500 feet below the cloud; and

(2) 2,000 feet horizontally from the cloud.

Whew, I was worried they were going to make me put on a clean pair of tightly whites before every flight.
