    "Drone" found on White House lawn

    That's ridiculous and proves the point some (me included) are trying to make that once government gets involved it doesn't stop until it wrings every dime it can from the governed. It's really kind of fascinating just a couple of years ago if I was out flying people would stop and marvel at...

    "Drone" found on White House lawn

    Really, registration for a toy? Maybe I should be required to show picture id when I buy a lipo battery too. Just to be safe, we should seal them in that big white house and only let the occupants out on sundays and an occasional holiday. Maybe a plexi bubble over the place just so we tax...

    Group Build 2015, FPV Racing Quad

    That's cool! So is the battery inside the body under the naze? Looks like you have hollow arms too, makes cabling clean. Mine's finished, kept it super light, bare minimum, and I'm kind of liking this kk board, keeps you way more busy than a naza with it's oh so clever alt hold.

    Tarot 680 pro build, surely they'll a lot of questions!

    Hi fisherman, the thing about taking away your manual setting and just using gps and atti is you lose the ability to calibrate your gps by not being able to flick your mode switch rapidly 6-10 times between manual and gps. Anyway, to answer your question you have to go into your radios servo...

    Motor or ESC?

    Check for cold solder joints and stop dropping your hex, Newton already proved the theory of gravity.

    DJI Ronin - who has one? thoughts?!

    I use a Paralinx wireless hd transmitter on mine, it's mounted under the power distro plate on the bottom. Haven't needed to use a separate monitor, we just use the cameras onboard, but we have mounted a small hd on the handlebar using one of the paralinx receivers. Just adds more weight to...

    Group Build 2015, FPV Racing Quad

    "when you're screaming forward" at least your confidence is high… The drq is already on the list. I'm going to use the fatshark 600 camera and the 250w 5.8 set up only and not worry about filming, but then I'm not planning on pod racing this quad. The 250's are just a nice size quad for...

    Group Build 2015, FPV Racing Quad

    JoeBob, that's a very fancy frame for fpv racing, for fpv'ing it's probably pretty cool but it looks like a kite. The extra money you spend on that frame would buy like a million 5" props or at least enough to give you an idea wether you like 250 size frames or not. Bart, you should just go...

    Gimbal Trouble

    The Feiyu Tech 2 axis has been pretty reliable for me and this is from a guy who has pissed away too many hours of his life messing with the martinez boards and the alex m boards-both the real ones and the fake ebay ones and just wanted something that smoothed out my crappy flying a bit...

    Diving Catch Saves Phantom!

    All that open field around and the copter goes down in a small pond, now THAT's a "smart" battery.

    Diving Catch Saves Phantom!

    I saw this one a couple days ago. Could just as easily been titled "Another FNG doesn't read the manual and program in Failsafe properly, takes a swim" Dude looked like that famous singer, Justin Tyme.

    Check out the hand held inspire camera rig from dii, looks kind of cool. In fact I'll bet small hand held brushless gimbals for phones will be all the rage this year. Have fun!

    Nice work guys, but a "likes received" counter, really? What are we a bunch of middle school girls who need public affirmation? Please "Like" this post so I feel accepted by a bunch of strangers...

    It was fun

    We just had one open here in Salt Lake. The prices are really high for everything but that's to be expected when you have to cover the cost of the physical building, permits, etc plus you have the automatic 7% sales tax mark up. It's got to be hard for the little guy to try and keep current...

    Checks on my order before I pull the trigger

    That's a pretty big setup for a hiking/snowmobiling package. I'd go with a disco or, gulp, a phantom if it's just a gopro flyer. Everything would fit in a backpack easy peasy, good to go!
