Thanks a ton to everyone! Normally when I see fiberglass I think Chinese fiberglass on eBay and that stuff is just GARBAGE. It looks like Rusty's stuff is the ISH though so I'll be going that way and I of course with customer service like that I'm willing to pay more because it's worth it in the...

I just picked up a Futaba 8FG and it came in today...the nerd in my is super excited by my frosted side says read the manual first :) and it's a HUGE manual. I was going to get the 8J, another good budget radio, but there were some things that turned me off. I've had my 6EX for like 10 years and...

The DJI 450 is a great start for sure. I wouldn't go with Spectrum anything myself, too many times people lose models because of their faulty equipment and the horror stories are endless. Hitec Aurora 9 is an EXCELLENT radio on a budget, it include battery monitoring and telemetry with a...

Yes, painful to order as in not simple to order and you have to poke around for your parts versus simplicity like I explained above. I'm glad his customer service is spot on because that counts big time with me. Looks like this is what I'll be getting. Thanks to everyone for the info! This is...

Excellent! Wow, so what exactly makes the anti-vibe motor mounts anti-vibe? Looks like this one might be a winner. What diameter arms do you use or are most common/best? The landing legs look pretty cook too, glad to hear the parts are strong.

I guess I'll need to figure out a parts list and it looks like it could get pretty expensive. I love DYI I just don't quite get the website with the pieces scattered and no real way to connect it together mentally without so much reading. I wish it was simpler but I'll give it another look...

Very good, never knew that and nobody hates SPAMMERS more than me. They eat up massive bandwidth with their garbage... Thanks.

Wow ok, that does look nice... I couldn't really see it in the previous video and on their website I wasn't impressed and it looked painful to order. What arms are you using, diameter and length? Landing gear? Hmmm much more impressed with the now. How do you rate the fiberglass thickness etc...

Man, it looks painful to even buy one. The arms, in the fine print below, don't even come with the kit so you have to find arms that'll fit and that are long enough and that's a separate purchase. Plus, it looks like it's made of fiber glass? My experience with that stuff is that it breaks easy...

I've had a Y6 before and used 10x5 APC props on it and I noted that when i'd YAW i'd lose altitude which is a common problem with coax setups because they are not as efficient as a flat Hexa design. The reason is because the airflow below the first prop is turbulent and the lower props have a...

If you want to get into this hobby and do it cheap check out Xheli.com who has ready to fly Quads. The reason I say this is because 1) they're cheap and some come with a radio and 2) you'll get the experience you need so that when you want to upgrade later you'll be able to pick something much...

Any idea where there are so few Y6 frames out there? Maybe I'm just not looking in the right place? I'm looking to build another "Hexa" but do a Y6 this time instead of my current DJI F550. I started out with a Y6 and it was ok and I liked the layout of the larger surface area Hexa but I think...

To me being fixed would be all future products come with the new props. The fact that DJI addressed the issue by offering stronger props and comparing them on video to their older ones is proof enough they care at least. Just because an admin starts a thread doesn't make him right. The old DJI...

Well first of all don't use XT60, use XT90 and your issue should be solved. I used XT60 on my 4S packs and with I wouldn't have. Isn't 7mm like 1.5gauge? If that's the case then you're going to need welding connections or maybe car battery terminals :) <tbody> AWG Diameter Turns of wire (no...

I have no idea but I can tell you that the Android 7.0" Samsung Galaxy SII is only $179 at Best Buy and since it's name brand and is not a chopped down version it'll likely work. You should be able to contact the manufacture for a list of recommended devices I'd think.

Didn't DJI address this issue with their new props which I hear are excellent and next to unbreakable? I use only Hobbyking APC props and I balance them as soon as I get them. I've never had a single prop break that wasn't my fault and it's super, super hard to break them...I've done plenty of...

Great idea and the other idea I'd like to propose or learn how to do is to report them to you or fellow admins. When we see spam posts do you want us to post them here or is there some way I may not be familiar with yet?

Good one, never thought of it that way but good one. I have recently learned, thanks to help from users on this forum, how to use eCalc. Think that might help here?

I agree and personally I would NEVER use those connectors and I 100% agree with the XT90's. I used XT60's on my 4S lipos and I wish I had used XT90's now. The wire that comes with Lipo batteries is oftern 8 gauge wire or bigger so it makes it easier to solder as well. Don't cycle your Lipos...

Well in that case I can talk technical to you, I use that term because Hobbyking uses that term and I think DJI does too so I figured it would be something everyone could understand. It's more like a solid run through a sandwiched board but whatever works as long as you get my meaning. I think...
