Hi all, well, I think I've about bought, and tried almost all the available FPV goggles, screens, headsets. And I'm back to my SkyZone goggles, as the best view, performance. I have HeadPlay, VueXL, Quantum headsets, and none of the lens will give me the view I have in my SkyZone's. I have...

Hi all, just got done building a iddy biddy Gobi 180, just for chits and giggles. 12 amp ESC's, 2204/2600kv, 4/4.5, 3C Tried 4C, !! Ha! WAY too much, hovered just above idle, and I set my Naze to not start motors on arming, = motor stop when you pull all the way back, trying to...

OK, I'm down here in SW Florida. It's raining, cold and wet. So it's time for me to post another stupid question. I fried an ESC the other day, and even though I aired out the house yesterday, it still smells! So my question is for any electronic engineers out there. Just what is it that stinks...

First, and I've asked this before, but everyone knows that the stupid little dipole antennas that come with just about any video transmitter you buy, are junk, and barely work, right? Sooo how come just about any transmitter you buy, has a dipole antenna? I realize we're talking different...

Ho, Ho, Ho! I predict that there will be so much prop wash tomorrow morning, that it will effect the weather, world wide! Ha!

Looks like 3DR is cleaning out a lot of stuff! I just ordered motors for the Iris+ at $3 EACH !!!! https://store.3drobotics.com/t/clearance

Help, I'm having yet another senior moment. I just setup my Scorpion 280 quad. No GPS connected. Fly's OK, but in atti mode, it takes almost 80/85 % throttle to hover. In manual mode, about 40%, and tons of power. What am I missing? Maybe my Naza Lite is ka-put?

Hi all. Tell me if I'm wrong, or not. As I understand it, a FrSky D4Rll receiver will send total battery pack voltage back to the Taranis radio, without any other modules needed, right? So there's no need to connect a FrSky FBVS01, as it will only do the same thing. The FBVS01 might give you a...

Just to let anyone know that's interested. I just installed a Spektrum DM9 module in my new Taranis Plus transmitter, and it works great! Already bound 2 of my Spektrum receiver-ed quads to the Taranis, no problem. This module cost a bit more than the orange modules, but I've read too much bad...

Here's a question I haven't seen asked before. If you have your GPS puck/antenna, mounted on a mast, will the length of the mast effect the way the quad behaves when in an area where GPS signal is iffy? I'm experimenting with a F330 frame, and an APM 2.7. My GPS is on a mast 6 inches above the...

Hi all, I just threw one of these together, with parts I had laying around. Some cheap 1806/2300 motors, Afro 12 amp esc's, and a naze 32 (no baro or compass version). And it flys really neat! And it is real carbon fiber too. 282 grams complete without battery, 452 with an old original Phantom...

I just had a nice barely used 4000 mah 4 cell Multistar battery take a dump. One cell puffed like hell. When testing, only showed 3 cells. Opened it up, and one of the connections (flat tab) on the puffed cell, had come undone. However, it appears to be aluminum, and was somehow "stamped" to the...

I just installed Windows 10 for FREE! And so far, "I like it":)

Wow, this part of the forum has been way too quiet. 3DR came out with the new Solo, all kinds of fan fare, video advertisements, etc. etc. then........... QUIET ???? What's going on 3DR? I expected more increasing hoopla and videos, but NO, nuttin honey?

Florida Gov. Rick Scott signed a bill that says drones cannot be used to record video or take pictures of people or their property. Soooo, technically, I'm breaking the law, when I fly my quad up and down my street, while my GoPro is filming, because I haven't gotten permission from the people...

I'm trying my best to understand all this stuff, but I have a loooong way to go. But, the way I see it, "IF" I program some waypoints into my Iris+, and send it on it's merry way, it is relying on the GPS satellites to guide itself from one to the other, etc. etc. However, if you do a "follow...

If you haven't seen this yet, watch it. It's really entertaining!:)

First flight, right out of the box, no tweaking, adjusting, calibrating, nuttin. I like it! Still haven't linked to my tablet, for autonomous flight, but will soon. You can tell, this is a "camera" ship. Nice and easy, slow and steady, as compared to some of my 250's! Got over 10 minutes with...

Hi all, don't beat me, just sittin around, pondering the universe so to speak. 1. I think just about any video TX or RX comes with a "dipole" antenna, which everybody says are worthless. I know I have a whole fist full. So then why are most all our radios either have a "dipole" or no exposed...
