    need TX-RX Help

    The power line "shouldn't" be a problem but you never know. It may affect your FPV. The frsky Taranis is a great radio, very popular, lots of instructional videos on youtube. Probably the best radio for the money.

    10 year old kid gets busted for flying his quad in his own yard

    LOL. Well thankfully it hasn't came to this but the legal framework is in place that if they wanted too they could. The only difference is that if you go up against the govt it wont end like in the video.

    Kit Recommendations

    I just looked up Aerosky 550 and it looks like the clone of the DJI 550. If that's the size that you want to stay around then you just need to find someone else that also offers a clone version like the aerosky. I am not aware of anyone offering a kit like that (possibly hobbyking) but you could...

    FPV/Telemetry setup for an X8?

    Well I don't think there's any kind of hub you just solder it. I would start with one of the pre built cables and go from there.

    Taranis X8R

    I'm not sure what connector the Naze 32 uses but the X8R is pretty common. Its just a standard servo lead. Go to "hobbyking" .com and they will have it. Do not order from the global warehouse though. Use the "east coast' or "west coast" warehouse. They are local to the USA and shipping won't...

    FPV/Telemetry setup for an X8?

    So do you intend to use the video output from the gopro to use as your (FPV) video? if so there are some pre-made cables that you may want to buy. You need a power supply to the video transmitter and the go pro as well. If you just run off of gopro battery you risk a dead battery. I know the...

    Did You Register Your Drone Yesterday?

    Thanks, I am well aware of that.

    1080 vs. 4K

    If you are doing this at the hobby level and not trying to produce professional video for income then I wouldn't worry about 4k. 1080 is fine and you probably wont ever notice the difference. Plus when your are editing video the larger the files the more taxing it is on your PC. Video editing is...

    Did You Register Your Drone Yesterday?

    Yes, I begrudgingly registered my drone yesterday. I waited till the last minute and finally decided to do it. I probably wont ever put the number on the craft itself but I will have the little card they give you to print in my wallet.

    Motor info

    I put the quick disconnect hubs on my large MR and it was mental exercise as to which way to install them so they wouldn't spin off.

    Motor info

    CW and CCW is probably referring to the prop hub so your props dont unscrew during flight. It's becoming more common on the little 250s to have this option.

    Hoffman Island Mission Accomplished

    Yeah that's all you need to happen. All in all still a good video.

    Hoffman Island Mission Accomplished

    Outstanding! We even got a little hang time when you got there. Nice job. I could think up a few challenges for you but I would hate to see you lose your phantom.

    So just curious.... what happens if my bec disconnects during flight

    You mean like the BEC powering the FC? What happens is you gain a lot of wisdom after your done rebuilding everything that was destroyed in the crash.

    Osd card broke off

    I'm not familiar with that machine but it's likely easy as long as you have the part.

    power module question

    Ok so if it is in series between the battery and the PDB and everything must pass through it before going to the PDB then it sounds like a current sensor and not a BEC for the pixhawk.

    New DJI Phantom pricing

    Kind of an arbitrary question. When I sell stuff my intent is to get rid of it and not squeak every penny I can get out of it. I sold my phantom pretty cheap and it went fast. It was less the half of the current price and in excellent shape.

    power module question

    I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Does it reduce the voltage down to a usable voltage so it will be a power supply for the pixhawk? If that's its only role then it should be fine as is, it will only see the current that the pixhawk uses not the entire current load. I feel like I need a better...

    Test Mission To Hoffman Island

    So your only limit was the FPV system? You could have made it if it wasn't for that? Nice video. pretty gutsy cause if you have a malf it's basically game over. Some people would gripe that your doing something you shouldn't do but I say good job. The only one harmed would be your wallet if...
