    Maine Coast

    Grew up in southern Maine........was more of a mountain fella, but beaches were where the fun always was when the Canadian women showed up(guess it was warm enough to wear hardly anything)! But I've not grown out of that awkward faze yet....just don't tell my wife(shhhhh). What is the...

    New battery, got problems...great!

    Found a bottom plate...guess three days won't be much longer to wait. Heli-pad had them in stock! Thinking it will be much easier to start from the beginning and work towards a solution. Scott (LifeSavers are good) B

    New battery, got problems...great!

    Unless the wiring became 'ghostly' and moved by themselves....nah, nothing was moved while it was sitting for the three days. After checking some connections with a simple light-meter....I think the main control board(lower board) has 'issues'. I can jump electricity to the ESC's(and all...

    How do you transport your multi rotor?

    Since mine has decided to 'wigout'...I just carry it from the backroom to the kitchen to try more testing. Someday, maybe I can carry it outside? Scott (your Pelican cost more then my quad) B

    Long Lens super stable wildlife

    As a amateur photographer first....I always grab the widest lens I can find for landscape work....10mm non-fisheye is best. It is a zoom lens, but I don't use anything above 10mm(it goes to 24mm). OP! Nicely done. Although those deer still 'know', hard to beat those dang big ears(their...

    New battery, got problems...great!

    The Tx and Rx must be working....I could move the camera in the gimbal up and down via the "LS" slider? Put it on the Assistant.... Sliders are working in correct sequence. Ran calibration. Camera tilting control is gone now....nothing. Motors will not move during 'testing'....nothing...

    Testing RTH on Assistant ??

    I've seen all the video's on YouTube, about testing the RTH/failsafe on quads....but isn't there another way? After all, you have a few hundred to a few thousand bucks floating in the air....that is a real test of 'faith' to turn the receiver off or flip that switch to simulate no receiver...

    Lipo fire on Boeing 737... qualified operator

    I cured the travel problems with TSA.....I refuse to ever get on a plane that they control the screening of passengers or the passengers belongings! I drive, so my LiPo's will be safe. And the only thing I have to worry about on a trip is where I should pull over and eat! Besides, the country...
