My hitec radio had a feature to disable the throttle but I dont have that on my dx8 so I have to be more careful with it. The motors dont seem to do anything when throttle is off even if I pick it up but I always disconnect the battery first when I land. You cant be too careful with these type...

Did you convert to a jpeg file or is that what a gopro file is? Mine gave an error but I will try again later. Most quad flyers I talk to do not use the gopro for viewing because of letterbox format, field of view too wide and low light handling capability. The rmrc-540 seems to be a realistic...

I tried to add some photos but I think my gopro pictures are the wrong type of file. Maybe this will work, I have a link to a photo of my gaui 500x fpv setup for anyone that may be interested in getting into fpv flying. http://i50.tinypic.com/34jdusi.jpg

I was getting 6 minutes using a 2200 3s, now I have a thunder power 3300 3s and I got 11 minutes before my alarm went off at 3.5v per cell. That is using the gaui 500x with fpv equipment and a gopro with a weight of 1374 grams total. It still has plenty of power and really seems to fly better...

That is pretty heavy if you mean 1890g, mine weighs 1310g with a 2200 3s pack and all fpv equipment. Max is 2200g and I dont want to get close to that. Maybe you should get quad flying first with no equipment and then add it one piece at a time and check it out well with each one. I always get...

This worked on my esc's http://pwrcfs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=111 I dont have experience with gps yet. I went through some tough times with my video because it was on a channel that has interference so I had to buy new equipment, then my radio had range problems so I got a new radio. But...

Sorry I didnt see your answer on fpv flying, I think it is easier for me. No more reversed control when it is nose in, no more getting in the sun and cant see it, but that first flight is a rush! lol. I started in the back yard hovering and landing then went to an open field to go up high and...

This guy has the best videos I have seen flying fpv, he used gu-344 for first videos and then switched to the open piolot board. He said its really stable but yet really responsive, you can tell by the flips he does. Also he is testing what is most likely the best frame available for fpv flying...

I keep hearing that the best controller by far is the open pilot board, is is really stable they say and will do flips also. They are hard to find though. Are you flying fpv? I had a xaircraft that flew great until I put on the video goggles and then it was out of control so I went back to the...

This is what I am hooked on! Flying fpv and the 500x does really well. It is so stable that you always feel you have control. This was one of my first flights with the 500x and now I have it dialed in a little better. http://youtu.be/aGRgutZX5PA

Read the manual very carefully and make sure it is setting level and still when you connect the battery or it wont fly. You can search the forums and find information on how to calibrate and program the esc's separately. When set up correctly it will be easy to fly, I use the green wire from the...

I think where I get the most wire damage is when I have disassembled it, I changed out booms one time after if fell from loss of signal and then one time to add the light kit that runs through the booms. Running the wires through them a few times started to do some damage. At first I had smaller...

I have a gaui 500x set up for fpv and its been a blast, I do have a suggestion when building this quad. I used some 1/2 inch plastic wire conduit on the inside of the booms to protect the wires. I pushed the conduit in until it reached the esc and then cut it flush with the inside of the boom...

I saw a video of position hold and return to home, awesome! That is gona be great when flying fpv like I do. It could save a crash in case of video downlink loss. Cant wait to see your video! Hey I can sell the gaui and buy the gps for my x450 pro lol :)

Nice video Jeffery, You were right this x450 pro flys like a dream. I was amazed at how fast you can drop and it stays level! This thing is gona be awesome with the fat shark goggles and the gopro. Finally a high quality quad that flys great, easy to build and parts are priced right. I didnt...
