    Learning Road Map??

    Hi Blades, as a current new guy myself let me share my road map (99% of which was advice given by more experienced flyers right here on this forum) Buy a DJI 550 Flamewheel (RTF - Ready to Fly) A lot of guys like building it themselves but I like that we went RTF so that we could jump into...

    gopro fpv?

    Hey Chris, Was talking to Tezcan at RC shutter yesterday and still apprently nobody's hit the grail on the GP3 Silver/Black for Start and Stop and Power. Looking at that one seems like they're in the same boat with only start on GP3 Silver/Black and further qualifies it based on Firmware...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Soldering ESCs to Powerboard - LED and IMU Dbl Tap?

    Thanks Blue, although now I'm REALLY confused. So on the little holes, can you solder to them by filling up the little hole and then jamming the wire in (or on but with solder making the connection through the hole)???? Or just leave the little holes alone and dbl tap to the ESC/Board tab...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Skyjib V2 Battery Options

    ACK Lanzar that's alarming!! Ok, total newb question but how do you "convert" to 6s from 5s?? Assuming you've stepped all the BEC Voltages down and the PDB and wire gauges can handle the increased voltage is it simply down to whether the motors can handle it as well? Droider we're also on the...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Upgrading AD6 Ver 1 to all the new goodies.

    Hi ZAxis, Nice upgrade! Am converting our AD6 to Coax X8 and trying to find a Gimbal Quick Release solution. We have the AV200/360. Looks like if you have to use their legs, and the legs hardmount to the quick release tabs and the tabs slide into a hard mount to lower frame, then no more Pan...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Soldering ESCs to Powerboard - LED and IMU Dbl Tap?

    Tore apart the AD6 last night and converting to X8 Coax. This will be my first quasi build (AMP-RTF) so am in uncharted territory. The powerboard is an AD8 board so I have two spare slots for the ESC. Thats good. But the tabs are currently occupied with leads for LEDs on one and the DJI IMU...

    450/550 Flyers - Share your Landing Gear and Landing Gear/Gimbal setups

    Well pulled all the legs off, blacked out the arms and fit the AeroXCraft F550 landing gear. Bought the gear used and assembled so bolting it on was a breeze, no drilling, lines up with the slots on the 550 lower plate, fairly light for what it is and overall I'm very impressed. The battery...
