    Show your FPV video

    Tearing up the sand pit again... I was practicing precision and I think I may have "tried" a little too hard lol, close calls. :) I can't wait to get the last part for my Eagle Tree OSD so I can see how high and fast I'm going.

    Quad is gone/fly-away

    So sorry to hear that brother, hope you find it. Also, always put a note on your multicopter that says how to get a hold of you. You'd be surprised how after a month or more later you'll get a call when you thought all was lost. :) The tracking device looks sweet, I think he just sold a couple...

    Understanding Batteries

    There's actually a lot to know about batteries and I do a lot with batteries as we live off solar power and store the power in lead acid style batteries. As far as Lipos go there's a few basic things to know. Charge rate, discharge rate, capacity, cell voltages and state of charge. If your...

    First flight of my TBS Disco

    Wow! That's 1 mile per minute and you were definitely moving in one direction for a while. I'm estimating but this last weekend I took the hexacopter out about 1 mile and up about 1,000 feet with hardly any video problems at all, occasional static maybe from rotating the craft for example. I...

    Can you fly through and record on a Go Pro? Advantages, disadvantages? Help please...

    Wow, very nice...now I don't have to "make one". Looks like what I need. I was thinking of powering the camera off one of the servo pins on the receiver, it'd be that board you sent and one of those servo extension wires hacked up to one wire, or whatever it turns out I need. I'm sure that...

    Can you fly through and record on a Go Pro? Advantages, disadvantages? Help please...

    Thanks! Yeah, I was wondering what the pitfalls were and didn't want to "find out on my own" lol... I'll give it a shot, the battery life thing scares me but I'm willing to bet I can build a power board for it to run off my 4S/3S setup... Should be interesting, I wonder how much wattage the...

    I wish I had known.... F550 purchase, build and first flights..

    Good work, looks like it's coming along for you at least. In your video it looks like you panicked before the tree and hit the ground. I've only had about 20 flights in so far, about 10 minutes each maybe and I can tell you that getting used to going OVER things is a hard thing to do as humans...
