    Paparazzi are going to ruin our Hobby/Work for us.

    Wouldn't the prudent thing to do be to sue the individual flying the "____"-copter that sold the photo to the tabloid? After all, there are probably already laws in place about flying over property, people, too close to buildings or whatnot in place.....make the guilty pay from their bank...

    Group Build 2014, DJI NAZA/F450 Quadcopter!

    Did I, or better yet, have I missed a video somewhere on the 'computer' NAZA Assistant? I waiting on a replacement DJI USB cable to get here and wanted to get the 'lowdown' on what I was getting into. Everything is inside the cover, GoPro is mounted, but she ain't going outside until I know...

    Life Expectancy

    That many....160 doesn't sound too awfully bad. Considering the price of motors and then further considering what you typically have 'hanging underneath'...... Anyone now what the failure rate for the ESC's, move specifically....E300's? Scott (millin', mowin' and grillin' - what a day)

    Life Expectancy

    I realize this is an older topic, but I was wondering if anyone has any better 'data' on motor lifespans? Is there a way to 'test' a given motor to see if anything is wearing out, say by checking the impedance of the motor across the positive/negative leads..... Scott (rather buy a motor...

    Blade 180QX freaked out

    Well I contacted Horizon...do they always give everyone the 'run-around'? Cause it looks like they are really, really good at it! Have received no less then 4 emails, each tell me to contact someone else. Awesome, no one can make a decision...... Guess what happens when you call? Guess...

    Blade 180QX freaked out

    Was enjoying some much needed flight time yesterday afternoon with the Blade 180Qx. Just hovering around the backyard. You know....fun. Wasn't windy by any stretch. Was warm though, maybe 90*F? Or so. Was about 3 to 4 feet off the ground....and in Safe Mode. Without any warning the...

    Eflite EFC-721 problems

    The actual model number is: EFLA801 Horizon Hobby, LLC The camera came with the Blade 180QX HD RTF quad. Although not the main reason to purchase this quad, it was nice to think I could actually take some video with this 'trainer quad'.... First, the kit stated that the camera came with a...

    Most ridiculous things "drone" haters have said to you?

    "Don't worry, you'll be able to fly it wherever you want!" "Can it leave chemtrails?" "Bet you can read the license plate on that car over there(pointing 1/2mile away)." Scott (got any nekid pictures) B

    Help me pick my components: Starting from scratch. Need your advice

    As I can add nothing of importance to your build...I can say welcome aboard!!!! There should be a 12-step plan for quads.... Scott (drooling isn't as fun as flight time) B

    Which model.....

    I too quit smoking! Congrats to you!!! Don't even crave them silly things after only 4-ish years...even after a few 'cold ones'. Having a part-time business, full-time job and too many hobbies keeps her pretty upset with the time available. But I try to make sure she still gets the abundance...

    My first flight happened in the living room

    Thanks. I probably should have picked up a Nano for inside flying(hindsight and all). The 180 gets across the room in a big hurry! Batteries are charging again, was having a blast outside this morning! Just wish Amazon would get off their backside and send my microSD cards so I could at least...
