    Project "Recovery" - Getting it all back

    Many of you know by now that I lost a plane the other day. This thread is NOT about that. I'm still looking for it and am not giving up yet.

    This thread is about RCLAB1 and a recovery effort for the loss of his plane. he cannot recover his plane or anything he had on it. It was essentially stolen.

    For those who do not know:

    RCLAB trusted an internet source (James Da Pain aka Lipopilot/Supercellchaser) to rebuild a wrecked airplane (MPX Cularis) and make it better. He sent James money and equipment as well as his airplane totaling somewhere near $1000. He never got anything back....

    He contacted the authorities (admittedly after much prodding) and they have failed him now too. Thus I am asking you here to help him out. If you were going to offer me anything, instead offer it up to RCLAB. He only has a few parts to his ground station.

    So if you have anything left sitting around that you could donate, please do. We all know we'd like the same done for us. To one person $1000 is hard to recover from. But a few dollars for shipping from a few members could easily make the recovery.

    Let's pull together as a group and get RCLAB back in the air.

    My contribution - Camera and TX antenna

    I am going to donate one of my OSD cameras and a 1.3GHz Vee antenna (he flies linear polarization with two BiQuads on the RX).

    He still needs:

    Airplane (He lost a Cularis, but anything will do. Maybe a Skysurfer or something? Anybody got a plane that they will never get to building?)
    Motor
    ESC
    RX (not sure what LRS he uses)
    TX - 1.3GHz
    OSD

    Thank you all,
    I dont' ask for much, but watch out for internet characters. Do background checks!


    Pesbra,
    I don't need a Futaba 9c. That is way too generous.

    I have a remzibi-type OSD that I soldered from bare boards I bought from Remzibi. You would need a cable to program it:

    I actually have 2 and I would send both because sometimes they are sketchy. You would need a gps (I sold mine to Sentry, oddly enough). I think I have a spare current sensor that I could send as well.
    I have tons of old 72mhz control RXes if you want one, but you may be on UHF.

    Send me your snail mail via pm if you want the OSDs. I'm really not using them.

    I don't have a lot of *good* spares, but I've got an ESC and a cheapy 420TVL Sony board camera I know of right off hand.

    So pretty recent. In the uasproductions.com videos you see a description regarding "uav's for aerial video footage, etc.".

    Domain name registration for lipopilot.com is very different, but that's proxied and that's the registration of the proxy service, very likely. Must be running through the proxied address back to some other server elsewhere.

    the guy @ uasproductions is him,
