    Clearance Sale at 3DRobotics, IRIS+ just $399, NEW!

    Ya know, that's a great deal even if only for spare props. I've already got 2 flying, and another still sealed in it's box. Bought it for $599 on Amazon, and thought it was a deal (at the time). Now the sad part. It looks like 3DR is going SOLO only. Maybe that's why it got named that.

    Question about battery chargers

    violetwolf, I have one of those chargers also. Works great, I'm running mine off of a big 20 amp power supply. Charge 4 batteries at a time, no problem. Does balance charge too.

    Carbon Fiber "H" Style Quad Build

    Nothing unusable about that feeling. I think most of us feel it. If I try to fly standing up, with my goggles, I get real wobbly. I fly almost all the time, sitting in a lawn chair. Whenever I let someone try my goggles, I always tell them to hold onto something. It's a big part of the thrill...

    FPV & Naza M Lite

    I recently bought 2 of these to try, and they work pretty darned good, especially for the price. Another nice thing, is it all plugs into the balance port. No soldering, etc. etc. However, coming from Bangood, takes awhile, so you might want to search for a local dealer...

    Carbon Fiber "H" Style Quad Build

    I hope the headset works out for you. I've got and tried 3 different makes of headsets, including my first, "Headplay", then the Hobby King version, then VuXL's. They all work, but not for me. I can't get a good focus, no matter which lens I try. Even tried with reading glasses on. Neither as...

    Amazing! Imagine the skill and labor required, to stack all those stones into buildings. All manual labor.

    Naza Lite atti mode throttle position

    OK, figgered it out. Apparently you must have power to the X3 channel of the Naza Lite, in order for it to operate correctly.

    Naza Lite atti mode throttle position

    Help, I'm having yet another senior moment. I just setup my Scorpion 280 quad. No GPS connected. Fly's OK, but in atti mode, it takes almost 80/85 % throttle to hover. In manual mode, about 40%, and tons of power. What am I missing? Maybe my Naza Lite is ka-put?

    Extremely low flight times on FPV quad

    Something ain't right. Like John said, look for heat. If you're sucking a fully charged battery down that fast, something is getting hot. I always feel my motors and ESC's after a flight. Warm is OK, hot is not. Do you have access to someone else's charged battery to try? Maybe your charger is bad?

    A little help from Taranis users

    Hi all. Tell me if I'm wrong, or not. As I understand it, a FrSky D4Rll receiver will send total battery pack voltage back to the Taranis radio, without any other modules needed, right? So there's no need to connect a FrSky FBVS01, as it will only do the same thing. The FBVS01 might give you a...

    Scorpion SkyStrider 280 build (help needed)

    I've got mine almost done. ESC's and wiring all soldered in. Just trying to decide which flight controller I want to use. I do all my flying, sitting in my screened patio, FPVing around my one acre tree forest, so I don't really need anything acro, and the Naza Lite works pretty darned good, for...

    Extremely low flight times on FPV quad

    You're just getting started in this addictive hobby, and a lot of it is learn by trial and error, so to speak. Do some research on Lipo batteries. They can be finiky little bastards, and some brands are better than others. I keep all of mine in metal ammo cans for piece of mind, and I have one...

    Never flown a drone, but my ex has a broom stick.

    Throbmorton, sorry, I went to take a pic, and found my modified servo arm had apparently fallen off the servo. I only used it that one time, but I'm sure you get the idea. And for me at least, I'm getting a little/lot, sick and tired of the A holes that are supposed to serve US sticking their...

    Never flown a drone, but my ex has a broom stick.

    Ha! GREAT post, and great idea! YES, it can be done. I did exactly what Bart mentioned with a F450 and a servo connected to an extra channel on my receiver. I flew across the street to my relatives house, and dropped off 3 cigarette lighters I had taped together, and hung off the modified servo...
