Thanks for the reply! I have seen most all of Scott's videos multiple times, and that has helped me formulate my questions but since he talks planes and servos mostly, I can't get everything I need about mixes for quads from his videos. There aren't many companion videos out there for quad...

Hey all, I have just flown my maiden flight of my F450 MultiWii quad, and I am hooked! Despite the wind, it was a good test flight, but it left me with a lot of additional questions about my flight mode configuration and stick inputs. To save myself a lot of typing, I'll copy my questions over...

Night Ninja has been flown! Considering the 20 mph winds, and my lack of rc skills, I think the maiden flight went very smoothly! The PID settings seem solid, as the quad was not dancing around or shuttering at all, even in the crazy winds! The gains or rates seemed very low to me, but I...

Do you have any recommendations for covering my solder patches? Is silicone acceptable, or should I spring for liquid electrical tape? Also, I want to know if my battery is above my GPS at all, will that kill my sat signal? I am considering mounding my GPS to the back plate extension, but my...

The build is coming together very nicely! I am taking it in small steps as I usually don't have large blocks of time to allot. I have soldered all my IC board connections, including hard soldering my XT60 connector to the board, and 7 Male JST connector whips. I figure 4 for motors, 2 for rear...

It was most definitely swapped TX/RX connectors on my Bluetooth module! Thank you again Blur for the info! I have assembled my arms, basically plug and play at this point. I even managed to get all my connectors right at the armpit joints, for clean wiring! Take a look at my build album if you...

Thanks for the info, I will double check my connections for the adapter. I'll also be sure not to flash my FC with the BT module disconnected. Cheers!

Almost all of my parts have arrived and it is starting to feel like Christmas has come early! I trudged through the hundreds of posts for Taranis and MW2.3 setups, and have finally been able to program my Taranis to Aux inputs in MW2.3 Gui. I was quite proud of myself, although it was easier...

My new Taranis receiver arrived a few days ago. Now that I have had some time to play with it, and get some of the pre-programming in, I can say I really like the layout and features. The menu system takes some getting used to, and companion9x required some extra work to connect properly, but...

After some information replies I received in the beginners lounge, I pulled the trigger on the Immersion RC 600mw TX and a pair of 4 leaf SprioNETs! I think this combo will get me some great range and clarity on my SkyZones.

Thanks for the info! That is just what I needed to hear, and sums up just about everything I have read online about IRC vs Boscam. Also, thank you for more clearly explaining the SkyZone diversity, that makes total sense now. It is antenna diversity, not channel diversity. I will go with...

Hey all, I posted this in my build thread, but I don't think it will get the same attention over there as it would here so I would like to re-post my query below: Does anyone have experience with video transmitters and the SkyZone 5.8gHz Diversity Goggles? I think I understand the goggles...

Does anyone have experience with video transmitters and the SkyZone 5.8gHz Diversity Goggles? I think I understand the goggles diversity system, but I don't quite get how the video TX output works. I would like to know if a standard video transmitter like the Immersion RC 600mw 5.8gHz vTx...

Thanks for the recommendation Blur, I just picked up the Taranis with X8R combo from GetFPV while they still had some in stock! This looks like a great radio combo for the price, and has all the features I am looking for. Now I just need someone to show me how to hook this mess up when it all...

Thanks for the radio input, Blur! I actually just added the Turnigy 9XR to my prospective radio list. It looks like it has all the features and the basic telemetry I am looking for at a much lower price! This is the radio...

I have finally satisfied my research curiosities, and have begun purchasing parts for my first Quad build! The goal is to build an all purpose quadcopter. I have come to realize this is an oxymoron with severe compromises! My primary 3 needs were as follows: Robust frame with cheap...

Good day fellow travelers! I want to thank you in advance for any support and assistance you all may provide me! Being new to the hobby, I have much to learn and many crashes in my future but I am sure glad that there others out there with a similar passion and more experience than I could...
