    Group Build 2016, Let's get it on!

    Alright... Where does everyone buy parts from? I'm tempted to purchase the discovery frame from Team Black Sheep themselves. Then everything else from?.?. I have dealt with getfpv in the past. No complaints. I see some cool LED stuff at gothelirc (out of stock, but I hope it will get back in...

    Group Build 2016, Let's get it on!

    Alright. I'm on board. I have lots of RTF's, BNF's, ARF's, etc etc. Ready to build one. Definitely want to try the Naze32 Full. I have an older GoPro I got off ebay (hero 3?) I believe I can use this as my FPV cam? Not sure what video transmitter works with that. I think I'm going to do the TBS...

    Monitor instead of goggles?

    Awesome. I pretty much knew that to be the case ;). But I needed to have someone else say it to me!!!! Thanks!! I'm going to have to order an lcd monitor now :D

    Monitor instead of goggles?

    Hey all. I'm trying to dive into the world of FPV racing. I have everything I need except for a video receiver and something to view.... Does anyone race using an lcd monitor instead of goggles? I'm debating which to get. I like the idea of a lcd because when I'm goofing off I'll be able to...

    2 MR debate, FPV question

    Aaaaahh Gotcha. So I'll put the kit I have on my qx (hopefully it lifts it) and I'll start shopping for a standalone video receiver. Any suggestions?

    I'm pretty sure I answered my own question. I'm trying to calculate weight and thrust and all that good stuff.... Still hunting the FPV goggle & screen swapadoodle....

    2 MR debate, FPV question

    I thought I decided I wanted the iFlight XBIRD 250 mentioned in group build. Then I found the immersion vortex. Watching videos of FPV flight it seems there is a HUGE difference in the way they fly (speed seems to be a big difference) I have no doubt I want a FPV racer. I currently have this...

    One thread many questions!

    Alright. I think I have made up my mind. There sure is a lot of components.... I was an rc car guy growing up. Now all this camera stuff... Flight control... Tons of stuff... A bit overwhelming to get in to!

    One thread many questions!

    Hello all! I have owned/flown RTF quadcopters, now I want to build one. Pretty much a park flyer. I'd like to do FPV. I bought a kit from horizon that came with goggles camera etc etc but I haven't hooked it up yet. Adding camera weight (I have blade qx180 hd now that I fly without the included...

    Been flying small stuff for a few years now. Started on s107. Went to 1SQ, this is when things got fun. Now I have a Blade 180QX so I can start crashing outside. Trying to decide what my next one should be. I'd like to do a FPV park flyer. Most likely a kit of some sort this time. If I can...

    Group Build 2015, FPV Racing Quad

    I apologize for bringing up a slightly older thread (well maybe not so old).... But is all the footage in this video from the Iflight XBIRD 250mm Mini Quadrocopter ARF combo (motors, esc, CC3D controller)? With a GoPro? I'm fairly new to multi rotors (well... I've had 1SQ for a couple years...
