Humm, I haven't gotten that far yet with mine. I put mine together with all the screws loose, just to make sure I had everything right, so now I have to re-do it with loctite. Sooo many tiny screws, hard on my old eyes. I'm using some Multistar Elite motors, and Turnigy pulse 12A ESC's. Still...

Ha! I'm putting one of those Scorpion frames together right now! So far, I like it. Also ordered 2 sets of spare arms, from RC Dude.

That is so cool. I've got to research that controller setup.

Yup, kinda like the good ole days with CB radios. Get you a nice amplifier, and talk for miles! Had one guy years ago, that would park in the lot across the street from my house and yack on his CB. He actually had a little florescent type bulb on the end of his whip antenna, that would light up...

Spektrum DX7s, then a DX8, now a Taranis and VERY happy. Also got the snap in module for the back of my Taranis, and can now run all my Spektrum and Org receivers too!

The AR Drone is what got me into this addiction. It is quite amazing for what it is. I haven't flown mine in at least a year. Using a phone or tablet to control is a bit different than using a real radio transmitter. The optical sensors on the bottom are really neat. When you hit "takeoff" it...

Months ago, I saw somewhere, maybe a kick starter, about a multi rotor that you tossed into the air to start.

WOW!

We're telling our ages. I sold a couple of old metal gold box Futabas on egay a few years ago! Couldn't believe someone wanted them. The Kraft's should be collectors items by now.

Yes, I have enough of the "old" stuff, to open a hobby shop! And enough "old" computers to set them up. Ha! I still get a sick feeling in my stomach every time I go out to my barn and look at my 5 "old" nitro copters growing dust, and realizing the $$$ I put into them. Heck, I even have an...

Seems like a whole lot of these companies are going into making things/parts, that can only work on their machines, batteries, props, motors, transmitters, cameras, etc. etc. I don't like it.

Interesting concept, and great first try. I wasn't aware of "live" you tube videos. I guess it's bandwidth or something. My cable internet connection has been getting slower and slower. Ever notice how slow things are on Christmas morning? When a whole lot of people are firing up their new...

Probably depend on the price. And I'm not a fan of "built-in" technology. Might get expensive when one of the built in components takes a dump. But also might be a popular take it out of the box, and fly things.

Don't ya just hate it when someone comes on with a problem, then disappears without sharing the outcome ???

A bit expensive at the moment. And Bart, your idea of only one tube sounds simpler, and interesting.

Old Man, that reminded me of an old saying, and could very well apply to this mess. "I can handle the lions and tigers in the jungle, it's the nats on my ass that will kill me"

I had mentioned this in another post awhile ago. But how come we've/I've never heard of any complaints, problems with the model rocket people? Those things can go to amazing heights, and at a tremendous speed, "basically uncontrolled". And they must still be pretty popular, as most hobby shops...

I apologize if I came across a bit sarcastic in my post. But in my opinion, (which so far, we are still allowed), what we need is LESS government, and LESS politicians, LESS laws that are only named different from laws already on the books. Just imagine a world where everybody was either a cop...

I got my VueXL's the other day. a wee bit better than my Head Plays, or the cheepee HK ones, but still not what I'd prefer to fly with FPV. The VueXL's do come with 4 different lens, and the strongest is as thick as a coke bottle! However, I'm not flying in a big open field, I just putz around...

I think a lot of people need to grow up, and learn to take care of themselves, and not rely on some outside force to solve their problems. If somebody does something to you that you don't like, man up and take care of it, or whimp out, and shut up. "I'm gonna tell my BIG brother on you, and he...
