Welcome Jason! I grew up just north of Boston years ago before joining USAF. I get back every now and then! TONS of great information here on the site and some awesome folks as well! Post up a few questions on what you want to do and I am positive folks will chime in with great info! I am...

RC is a much different animal than actual flying. The biggest issue I found was nose in orientation. Still trying to master that! Glad to have you here at MRF....great group of folks!!!! Mike :)

What a tremendously helpful thread!!! I would have loved to have found it a month ago! I am still building my "list" and I am glad that it will be a few months before I can get my craft airborne. For my first build, I'm looking for at a minimum, a 450 size. I'll also be going on a low cost...

Rich I just saw that Hobby King has it in stock. Looks like they have plenty....here is the link.... http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=49254 I am considering getting this for my very first quad build..... Mike :)

Here is a video that I was watching the other day.....I have little soldering experience (just some wires, PC stuff) but found this video very entertaining and informative. He goes through the basics of soldering and some of the tools you may need. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5Sb21qbpEQ...

Welcome DragonBack! I am in a similar situation and purchased a Nano QX that I use with my Spektrum DX8. Fun little thing and I am getting better each flight :) I am going to be building a quad over the next couple of months and am researching all the things I must purchase before doing so...

Hi Moto! As we have discussed in previous threads, I too am in a similar situation! I will be building here in the Frozen Mts of Colorado (still snowing here...single digits to highs in the 20's) the past week. I answer B to your multiple choice! Mike :)

Moto, It is a nice little gem for very little price :)..... as always PRICE is a consideration in any endeavor! I am still listening to my wife about her "lottery winnings" and just what we would do with them if we ever did win that damn thing...LOL! I know Barre and Montpelier well.....we...

Hell we will work through this together then :frog: !!! I totally comprehend the TX purchase! My upgrade on TX routes was from an old Eflite Blade CPPRO FM TX that came with my Blade CPPRO heli....so moving up to the Spektrum DX8 with the telemetry module for $200 was an easy sell to me (and...

Awesome vids! You folks mentioned racing....something near to my heart! I am going to be crewing for my neighbor in SCCA SRF starting this winter (doing work on the car til it warms up :) )...I also track my car every now and then and love it! I use a Mobius Action Cam mounted in the car when...

Wow Folks! Thanks a TON for the information!!!! Now I am beginning to see the utility of having many channels! The information is, to be honest, overwhelming! More homework for me!!!! Pete....cool video!!!! Thanks for putting it up here! Mike :)

Hi Moto! Best wishes on your build. I will be following it closely!

Hiya Moto! Wow you DID take the plunge on the TX! Good on you! I am in a different situation though...my wife wouldn't stand for it! And I can say I do not blame her....I tend to get into hobbies and then they go by the wayside. "Hi Honey...I want to play piano....." purchased a Yamaha...

FlyGirl....Got it....so I could potentially figure out a way to have different devices turn on and off with the switches. Gimbal as you stated or even turning off lights and such.

FlyGirl.... Thanks for answering everyone's questions. I have one for you about the DX8.....being new to the realm of multirotor RC would you be able to let me know just why folks would need a 4 chan vs 6 chan vs 8 chan as far as Transmitters go? I am still trying to figure out why more...

Moto....I have not ended up with a craft yet....I am having ankle reconstruction in a couple of weeks and will be non-weight bearing for over 12 weeks. I am using this time to research and build one myself. I am a TOTAL new person to this....used to fly RC Heli's (total novice) and got more...

Outstanding thead! Thanks for cluing me into the AR8000 RX FlyGirl! I was trying to figure out what RX to put into the quad I will be building soon and am still trying to figure things out. You just answered one of my questions!!

Ryan, I have similar ???'s to you. I am going to be building a 450 in the future but I run a Spektrum DX8 transmitter like FlyGirl does. I am using a NanoQX as a simple BNF "trainer" in the house right now. It is a fun little quad and can help if you have problems with learning nose...

Hi Moto.... I was going through the same research as you have done and it does seem to come down to a Ford v. Chevy debate at times. I got some very good information by checking out many of the websites and actually got an outstanding PM from a member. He told me to take a look at Craigslist...
