Thanks, I'm envious. I can't fly as yet. Parts are trickling in. I think I'm about 3 - 4 weeks away from using the Dji assistant calibrating program. Meanwhiles, I'm enjoying improving my piloting skills with the simulator and the mQX. My ultimate interest is photography. The MR will be a...

Thanks, PeteDee, I don't have any ESC's at all. I'm building the 450 with bare parts from here and there. I have the top and bottom plates now, and two white arms and two black arms. From a different place I got more than enough screws to assemble the frame. Right now I haven't been able to...

Hi, My first newbie build question. I'm building the F450 avoiding using the stock Dji motors and props which have reliability issues. I have the F450 frame and will begin building the MR soon. I'll be assembling it with the AMP heavy lifting kit. The motors are AMP 2814's. My question is...

Thanks Helloman, I didn't even need to post my problem. I've been in touch with Century Helicopter and they confirmed that they pulled components out of a few NazaM boxes and that my box got mixed up. I'm missing the LED/BEC and the USB adaptor. Century says they will make it right...

Today I received my M Naza flight controller system from Century Helicopters. The things I received from Century Helicopter don't match what I expected to receive. I ordered the complete Naza M GPS system for a lot of bucks and UPS delivered it okay. I thought that much money would have...

I have a read a warning to not use the Hero cameras with Dji products. The concern was that the WiFi signal from the Hero camera interferes with the Dji craft somehow. Yet at your link people are all flying Dji RTF's with the new Hero 3 Black. What's the skinny? Have those users disabled...

There are no videos made using the F450 or F550 craft. Only the S800 and the little 330 size Phantom. There's a gulf between those extremes. I'm building an F450 so I was expecting to see a video made by someone who assembled one of your kits rather than seeing only demos made using your...

I'm impressed that you employed UltraCote to tidy up the booms. A terrific idea. Easy to apply and shrink, and easy to remove when needed. I wouldn't have thought of it. Your bird looks great. - Rob

Thanks, helloman1976. I won't hesitate to ask a question when I get stuck. Thanks for telling me my questions will be okay and welcome. I know I'll need help. Best, Rob

Hi Kloner. Thanks for your welcome. I live in sunny and foggy Morgan Hill. The gateway to Gilroy. I believe skycam5000 lives in Mountain View about 35 miles north from me. skycam5000 has already fpv'd several areas close near here. The Anderson dam for instance. There are many interesting...

Yes I want to barge in and introduce myself. LOL My name is Rob. I discovered videos of a quad flying in the Tuolumne Meadows area of Yosemite in January. I flipped. I have backpacked in that area for two weeks at a time. The videos created by SKYCAM5000 got me started. At the beginning...

It's interesting for an unexpected reason. 17 years ago flying stunt kites became an exploding hobby. There were scores of people at that time trying to build new kinds of stunt kites in order to make some money. Most failed. The stunt kite hobby gradually faded away. It still exists but...
