All legal now! Just in time to make the 1st payment on the van! Now if the weather would just cooperate, I could get some flying done.

My conversion will definitely b homemade! No$$ left after buying the van. Lol. Have my solar panels mounted on the roof with quick disconnects. Made an antenna tower out of an old transit level tripod, with a 15' piece of sch 80 plastic pipe. Use it for the weather station sensor &...

Got that sprinter rv conversion download. Huge resource! Thanks again!

Thanks pixl45! I've seen the sprinter conversion you mentioned. There are several on pinterest. Good thinking on the booster, I rely on cell for my net connection.

I'm commercially insured to the hilt, required by my clients. Nice setup Chris!! Love your 4 legged car alarm!! Running 2 lithium ion batteries, 200ah, with 2 85 watt panels on the roof. Full office capabilities, printer, mobile desktop, weather station, net connected. Will b doing...

Setting up a mobile studio in anticipation of 333 being granted soon!! It's been almost 6 months since I applied. Purchased a sprinter van to kit up for mobile office/studio. Gonna have computer, 50" 4k display, solar for the lithium batteries, inverter, dedicated storage for uav's...

Most companies that will hire you will require commercial and aviation liability insurance. Shop around, there's lots of range in pricing. Pretty sure your COA requires a visual observer (VO). Keep that in mind when you're pricing your services. Happy flying!!!! For $25 hour, AND...

Conga rats Sancap on your 333..!! Been talking with several in my area. K-State UAS program grads are getting 40-50k year right out of the program. Better then they can make with a commercial pilots cert in most cases. A local 333 holder has been paying $25-40 per hour to pilots that have...

Spoke to an inspector at the local fsdo yesterday. There's no consensus about what the new rules will look like or when they will be coming down. He's of the opinion (somewhat informed), that there will not be any flight profiency requirements, only a written test. He's also not heard about...

There are no FAA approved training courses at this time. Timeline for approved courses is June 2016, but I don't think they'll have them in place by then. They may grandfather in some curriculum from accredited schools (Kansas State University has a uas program). Schools and instructors will...

Anyway, could go on and on. Let's give them some credit, its safer to fly commercially then it is walk across the street!! That being said, it's still a huge gub'ment agency that's not very able when it comes to changing fast. When the rules finally come out (they say June 2016, don't hold...

The FAA is tasked with regulating the national airspace (NAS). Commercial air travel is the safest form of transportation in the USA, mainly because of the safety rules & regs implemented by the FAA. No small feat! With the explosion of uav use in such a short time, the safety of flight...
