What would you expect to pay for a pair CNC'd out of 6061 aluminum? If I were to do the CAD files which saves a bunch on the overall cost, I would expect any milling company to come back with a quote in the $40-$50 an arm range. Compared to $6.50 each that's a tough sell and that's no mark-up.

To CNC those out of Aluminum would be very pricy, even in volume. I may take one to my CNC friend just to see what he would charge... The added weight needing larger motors would only be beneficial in stronger winds. I am sure the vibration resonance would also be increased based on the amount...

Thanks for the comparison pic. That really shows the difference. What landing gear set is that? Are there any US suppliers stocking the extensions?

How much do they flex vs the F450 arms? Keeping in mind some flex is good.

These have been out a while now. Anyone having issues with them?

If you both would not have dodged you could have just said you are that good at threading the Phantom between 2 people :nevreness: If it wasn't for my wife seeing me fly before I am sure she would have dodged some of these.

The charger has no reverse polarity protection. If you have the battery plugged into the harness and even bump the charger leads in reverse polarity, it will burn the ground strip inside. The very first time I used it I bumped the leads opposite while bringing them up to the charger. It is...

Those are not my vids although I should have my Fat Shark setup late next week. In manual mode with the gains adjusted this thing rips. I don't see a need for a different radio. Most hacked theirs before DJI released the software. Having pots to adjust gain as you go and a gimble control may be...

I have a video posted above showing the performance mod. The 4S battery is about all that is adding to the performance. Gain changes and running in manual mode it's just as aggressive. This vid is with the Futaba mod.

There are already quite a few guys I know doing FPV with it using the FatShark and GoPro 3 which is a bit lighter. Have you seen this vid?

I am working on building a 550 now for video and FPV although the Phantom does both well also. With the RC mod it rips!

I'll try that at the flying field where I will have visual of it better. I was just screwing around in our neighborhood and there were too many places for it to disappear to.

I have not read that anywhere and since it was heading right where it was suppose to I wasn't trying anything I didn't know the outcome to. I centered the throttle in case I was able to regain control but that never happened. The 15 second pause at 20 meters seems lie a great time to try to get...

What a little modding will do... This is not mine.

Well, Fail safe return to home works flawlessly... I really didn't want to find out this way though.

Those are for near sight. When your eyes age you loose the ability to focus on close items. Like far sighted but that can be from birth on, not just from aging eyes. What do you do if you wear glasses and contacts are not available for issues like stigmatism? I really don't want to look at a...

Do FPV goggles have adjustments for over 50 eyes that normally need cheaters to read close up?

Does anyone know how long IOC has been in the Naza devices? Has both course lock and home lock been available at the same time or is home lock a newer feature.

Did you take any pics?

IOC is default checked... load back into the Phantom and it's good to go. Just checked but windier then crap out. I see they added the drivers to the download page now... The drivers had to be loaded before the software for it to work on my PC's
