    repair expense?

    Bottom line, if you new to this, as it appears you are, then buy a decent quad that you can get replacement parts for and start with a working system. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    repair expense?

    The heart of the quad is the controller and it seems pretty unlikely s that it was just lost. Why was it uninstalled in the first place? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Lipo Battery

    The battery you have there is badly swollen it looks like. I have never heard of brand you are flying and there is a lot of junk out there. I fly a MultiStar 10000 mAH, 10C, 4 cell battery for about 17 min. on a QAV540G with 11 inch props. If your battery rating was right it should be find...

    Need Help! Volunteer to Teach an Old Dog How to Fly

    I wish I did live there. It would be fun I think. I looked up the aircraft, have no idea how sensitive it is set up. It sounds like you should treat it like trying to learn to fly a heli, line of site. Keep tail towards you hover then out and back then to each side working more and more to...

    Can anyone tell me anything about this drone

    Well I got lucky and found one with controller for $30 on eBay. They do call it a drone but that is the buzz word these days. I started flying RC belies years ago with a coaxial so recognized configuration right away. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Can anyone tell me anything about this drone

    It is a coaxial helicopter in a cage. No radio with it? Need to figure out what kind of receiver it has and get compatible tx. If receiver removable can replace whole package possibly. Looks like you need hobby shop or guys at a flying field to help you. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Spark or GoPro Karma

    One pretty flippant response. Read across forum and many have good results with Karma. Your work will be well within bounds of a Karma and some features ideal for a new user. They are still selling Karma packages at good prices. Get a toy quad w/o GPS and learn to fly it first no matter what...

    Need Help! Broken Arm on Crashed Drone

    Need to replace arm. Can try epoxy, I use 5 min. kind as easier to manage but you still need to let it set for at least 12 hr. Rough up smooth surfaces around the break to help with adhesion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Recommendation for 1st drone

    Why use a phone if a touch control on a dedicated all in one unit is available? For what you want, and want to use GoPro there is nothing wrong with a Karma. You will hear a bunch of folks saying DJI is only way to go but more than a few of us happy with the Karma for exactly what you are doing...

    Battery Manteinance: discharge

    The charger is not designed to dissipate a lot of heat and discharging battery generates heat. Limiting to 1 amp limits the heat generated. I don’t know where you read that taking a battery to 3 volts per cell is good maintenance but it is not. Battery manufacturers publish battery guidelines...

    Drone video tourism

    Lot’s of folks bad mouth Karma but most have had no issues at all and the video is very high quality. Having been to the temples the quad could be kept close and visible and provide excellent video. Karma has a free app where the Karma video can be shared to smartphones or tablets (Google and...

    Replacement for Hero GoPro 4K

    That really sucks if true. I went searching and could not find anything new about issue. A lot of old stuff out there. Like I said up until last Saturday I was using my Hero 4 with no issues and I have not done an upgrade recently I can remember. I know a lot of problems at first because 3 and...

    Replacement for Hero GoPro 4K

    Are you positive, GoPro confirm? I went out last weekend and my camera was working. I was checking tilt up and down from radio and it went black. I could plug in Nd out and get video for a min or so and it would go black. I think the cable to the back port connector may be bad and have got...
