    3DR, What's up?

    Some of 3DR's web pages are a little outdated too! This one for "ready to fly" models, doesn't even include the Solo ???? https://store.3drobotics.com/t/ready-to-fly

    How do gimbal motors stay in place?

    The gimble control board has similar gyros, etc. as the flight controller, that tell it what's level, etc. etc. You'll notice they jump and quiver when first plugged in, they are "initializing", or "booting up". I'm wondering why no one has come up with a "mini" 1 axis gimble, for a FPV mini...

    AVin issue on Black Pearl

    Why oh why don't they standardize these things! I've got enough cables to reach the moon, and still find stuff I don't have the right jack for! Some have ground, power, video and audio. 1/8" 3/16", 3 prong, 4 prong. And lets not get into power supplies (wall warts) Got a box full of them too!

    3DR, What's up?

    I just ordered one of these kits, last night. Seems like a pretty good price for knock offs. http://www.foxtechfpv.com/pixhawk-915mhz-combo-p-1895.html

    Ships on the River Mersey

    Ha! I know exactly what you mean. I bought a 3DR Iris+, then bought a second one, out of fear I'd screw up the first one! Now have a 3rd still sealed in the box, for "parts". I'm REALLY impressed with the range you're getting with that Phantom. I mean I sat here watching that video from Hilbre...

    A2 fly-away and crash

    I don't think you'd have as many problems with log files from a 3DR product. Just sayin...........

    Ships on the River Mersey

    I'm impressed not only with the quality of the video, but the range you're getting. I'd have been scared chitless, flying all the way out there, over the water and all. Very nice!

    Wow, and I was beginning to feel like I'm not a newb....

    WOW! BUMMER for sure! I have several Naza Lites flying, and have not had any problem similar to the one you described. I'm currently trying to learn APM/Pixhawk systems, and my poor old brain has run out of memory! My only guess, and it doesn't make sense, as you said it started spooling up...

    3DR, What's up?

    VERY confusing. Soooo, 3DR still has a place in Mexico ??? They just farmed out the Solo from China ??? I hope they get things worked out, but I fear all this Solo stuff will hurt their reputation. Pretty big screw up in my opinion. I like 3DR, own 3 Iris+, and configuring an F350 with an older...

    Not all good in the hood

    "Quote" "Last time I checked there were nearly as many firearms circulating around the U.S. as there are inhabitants. Pretty scary IMHO." And that fact, as far as I'm concerned is what keeps others from trying to take over OUR country. We fought for it, we will fight to keep it, even in the sad...

    Want Gopro drone that "follows" and can be flow. Does it Exist?

    All I'd like to know is how you plan on only owning ONE multirotor! I'm up to around 14 flying, and probably another 14 in kits, bits and pieces! Ammo boxes full of lipo's, radios and props hanging on the wall. Not to mention my barn full of nitro stuff. Addictive? YES!

    DX8 switch assignments

    Not a stupid question, but you do need to get more familiar with radios in general. You can assign any switch or button or knob, to do different things, all depending on how many channels you are working with. Spektrum can be a little confusing, if coming from another brand. I own a DX7s and a...

    Need some less expensive motors

    Maybe not what you're looking for, but some good deals for sure. http://p6trc.emv2.com/HM?b=bXi20fG2Uiqy9ZTErBLexGEJeNpZG4gqFB2h6ErKvXWV9Oqq1tIntw6gBjJOm54U&c=TVGKQw4kyqlCjTgKQEWCqQ

    Taranis Plus + Iris + = ????

    I wonder if it's possible to make the radio that comes with the Iris+ "Talk" There are slots where the speaker would be, and sound selection in the programming, sooo ???????? I had one of mine apart, to install the back light, but didn't look around much, while I was inside. Guess it's time to...

    Those vibration reducing motor mounts.... YEA... Bad Idea...

    VERY nicely done! And VERY informative! Thank you!

    Taranis Plus + Iris + = ????

    Extremely interested in this thread. Sledge, I have the same problems as you, trying to remember which switch does what. Especially when I have two Spektrum radios that I use for everything else I have flying. Also I made a post awhile back, got no response, but the power of the radios that come...

    SOLO, New RTF Quad from 3D Robotics

    Solo must be rolling out, as I tried to go on 3DR site, yesterday to look at something, and the site was locked up! http://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage.jsp?st=3DR&_dyncharset=UTF-8&id=pcat17071&type=page&sc=Global&cp=1&nrp=15&sp=&qp=&list=n&iht=y&usc=All+Categories&ks=960&keys=keys

    What did you do with your Iris+ today??

    She was probably answering her cell phone!
