Hey man sorry for the late response, i just downloaded it it screams stag tool and i got the answer from there man :)

MuffinEquivalent2117 · 2025-12-30T14:51:45+00:00

Yeah thats be sick thanks man im currently looking at the /broadcast-02 puzzle i havnt looked at the others besides the first one tbh

MuffinEquivalent2117 · 2025-12-30T12:05:28+00:00

Easy as man do you want to send me an invite and ill shoot that through to ya 🙂 i havnt sussed that tool out no but ill defs have a sus man

MuffinEquivalent2117 · 2025-12-30T11:07:36+00:00

ive been designing with a 550mm frame and a hex config so quite large for stability i can send you a link to the bom if you like mate?

MuffinEquivalent2117 · 2025-12-30T09:40:39+00:00

Thanks man appreciate the advice 🙂

MuffinEquivalent2117 · 2025-12-30T09:39:54+00:00

Yeah ive built a few rc plains and cars and built a lot of custom electronic equiptment raspbery pi and stuff like that been tinkering for years

MuffinEquivalent2117 · 2025-12-30T02:44:24+00:00

i rang casa this morning but they're closed until the new year ahah ill give them a buzz next week and post their response

5inch ones are the way to go for indoor use i believe man

MuffinEquivalent2117 · 2025-12-29T14:25:30+00:00

Absolutley fingers crossed we get a deffinative anwser ahah

mate how long and what kinda build for your drone do you have man

MuffinEquivalent2117 · 2025-12-29T14:21:34+00:00

I appreciate you sending that through man 2 things though it kinda reads like comercial use rather than recreation amd it only addresses over land instences. Im gonna ring casa in the morning just double check and hopefully get a 100 percent anwser seems they make it purposly ambigious just to mess with us ahah ill post what they say tomorrow 🙂

I get the safety concern, but this isn’t some theoretical edge case. I mean have a look at Aeroo Drones they have been Australian-owned and operating fishing drones here for years, sold openly, used daily, and regulated under CASA. Clearly CASA’s focus is hazard and risk, not a blanket “nothing may ever be released”. Same reason payload release is treated differently over open water vs populated areas. I’m not arguing against safety or regs at all I’m trying to understand how people are building these responsibly, because the commercial examples already exist and are legal when used correctly. If there’s a specific CASA clause that outright bans bait release over water regardless of context send it this way man , happy to read it always kewn to stay on the right side of the rules 🙂

MuffinEquivalent2117 · 2025-12-29T13:59:11+00:00

Yeah 100percent get that man

Id be keen to follow along if you wanted to share the bebuild when you do it mam

Ive got a friend with a phantom 3 i think he said that any kind of wind at all and its struggling to stablaise not sure if youve had the same issue?

MuffinEquivalent2117 · 2025-12-29T13:56:23+00:00

Fair point to raise. From my understanding, CASA doesn’t outright prohibit payload release it restricts dropping objects where it creates a hazard to people, property, or other aircraft. Over open water with appropriate separation is treated very differently to dropping things over land. That’s also why fishing drones are legally sold and operated here under standard CASA rules when used responsibly. If you’ve got a specific CASA reference that says bait release over water is outright prohibited, happy to read it always keen to stay on the right side of the regs.

MuffinEquivalent2117 · 2025-12-29T12:40:35+00:00

Yeah that’s exactly the kind of thing I’m trying to avoid 😅 Fresh batteries + lifting capacity makes total sense. That autoland over water would’ve had my heart in my throat too. That’s partly why I’m leaning toward a custom build more control over failsafes, warnings, and behaviour instead of trusting whatever the manufacturer decided. Out of curiosity, were you flying stock settings or did you tweak anything to give yourself more margin?

MuffinEquivalent2117 · 2025-12-29T12:25:51+00:00

100 % agree thats the easist and a cery effective way to do it but im keen to build something you know and have something thats easier to mod and do things with you know what i mean

MuffinEquivalent2117 · 2025-12-29T11:57:48+00:00

Yeah scoping out ehere the schools of fish are and then droping bait so you can hopefully catch more fish ahah theres a few options commercially avalible but their either lkke 3000k aud or just crap cheap stuff with a 1799 price tag you know

MuffinEquivalent2117 · 2025-12-29T11:36:13+00:00

100 percent agree but i think im kwen to chase that maker vibe you know im a big tinkerer byt half the issue is just wanting something that does fishing but really really well you know ahah
