    Re-introduction

    Hey guys and gals. I've been away for a while so figured I'd reintroduce myself again. I currently live in Oklahoma but will be moving to South Carolina in the next few months. I'm not the best pilot but I do love to fly. Currently I have a custom designed (by me) mini 250 quad running a CC3D...

    PDB for mini multirotors (36mm x 36mm board)

    Not sure if this is the right place to post this but I came across these last week and ordered one. Gotta say this made my build so much cleaner. I've seen these around but these seem to be the cheapest around and he's based in Florida so it's pretty fast shipping here in the states. Great...

    Motor/esc combos

    Well I think I'm done with xaircraft. Lost 2 motors and 2 esc's and can't get XA to do anything. Jeffery @ xaircraft USA has had my gps/autopilot for weeks now and looks like he has forgotten how to respond to emails and phone messages so I'm done with them. That being said, I have a 600mm quad...

    Since I am fairly new to a lot of this, we are trying to figure out an altimeter set up. We don't fly fpv, just line of sight but we are wanting to know how high we are and the highest we've got. Is there anything that will record the altitude and store it or transmit to a reciever for visual...

    We have a few Nikon cameras but will mainly use a 200 or 300 for our shooting. Is there a way to splice the wired shutter remote into the 3 wire plugs to use a switch on the radio to trigger it? I thought I saw how to a few days back but I can't find it again to save my life. Any other...
