    Group Build 2014, DJI NAZA/F450 Quadcopter!

    Bart....you are going about this ALL wrong........ I can't speak to the Dells....but you have to do something to eliminate certain things. IN your case....not familiar with the Dell PSUs.....but you might have a conflict with AC grounds...... In the post I made with my HP DPS PSU thread you...

    Car interiors

    Davie.... As a PROUD 2013 A5 Owner I would LOVE to see some beautiful videos....HOWEVER, if you are talking about interior videos you REALLY need a BOOM to get the things you are looking for. Just my opinion but there is NO way that I would put an MR in my Audi....just too much interference...

    Lipo Use in Cold Weather

    Akermay, A lot of folks simply place their LiPo's under their jacket....near the body...so that the body can keep the batts as warm as possible. Many of the folks I have seen in the way early days that I was flying helis did a similar thing. Try that and see if it works for you. For EXTREME...

    Scott.....the FINAL way that I made certain to have the shaft straight was to roll it across a piece of plate glass.....I would think any flat glass surface would work. This makes sure your shaft is true. As far as the cones go.....that is above MY ability and the only way I could make certain...

    Dji 450 clone which size battery to by

    It depends on your price and what you consider 'good'......I have had good success with HQprops and as far as balancing goes they are pretty much spot on when I balanced all of them. If you are looking for 8"x4.5....Feng offered FREE 4 pairs of them just a week ago....just pay for shipping...

    Dji 450 clone which size battery to by

    Orange.... For MY initial build I will be doing the F450 (DJI frame but sourcing my OWN parts)..... I am NOT electing to go to the 5000 mAh batts for now. Several people have indicated that a 3S 4000 mAh will work splendidly with the Gopro FPV on the 450. There seems to be a weight/power...

    Group Build 2014, DJI NAZA/F450 Quadcopter!

    @gomotomoto........ If you are willing to do a TINY bit of work yourself you can MAKE a power supply for you OWN use that will set you back MAYBE thirty to forty dollars US!!!! I put up a power supply build thread that can get you on your way. There is a HUGE following of folks that do this...

    Scott...>GET THE LATHE OUT< The way I "adjust" the heights of the two sides of the DuBro is to place an ITEM under the moveable top portion (adjustable portion). I didn't want to use blocks of wood so I ran into the reloading room and pulled out some Winchester 300 Win Mag cartridges and used...

    Thanks Fellas! I like the DuBro.....probably not quite as sensitive as the TopFlite but I will not know until it gets here. For prop balancing MAKE CERTAIN you don't have ANY air currents when you are going through the procedure. I mentioned this earlier but I am an avid reloader. I found...

    Looking Good Scott! Sorry for the lack of participation. I fell down the stairs on Thursday and really jacked up my knee (the one with the replacement not the leg that had ankle surgery). Excruciating pain but the xrays were negative for a large break. Radiologist still has to see if there...

    Hi Folks!!! So my order that contained my ESCs and Batts from HK has been lost or is lost in shipping.....perhaps they are on an island like in the movie "Castaway".....:nevreness: Where are you getting your batteries? I am looking at 3S-4000 mAh ones for my quad and HobbyKing is not even...

    Which frame size??

    I can ONLY speak from MY build..... I am going with a QUAD. I know that I can learn to fly it/less expensive when replacing parts when crashing/can do FPV/can do AP............ Just my 2 cents worth.....remember programming your flight controller and then getting it into the air is NOT an...
