    Kit VS. Phantom Vision 2+

    Hi NewGuy, I see you want to add aluminium extension arms to your F550 hex, my opinion just not worth it unless your getting them cheap cheap but at $50 a pair that's $150 just for arms? Do yourself a favour and buy a carbon fibre Tarot frame (or some other brand) for the $200 your going to...

    Kit VS. Phantom Vision 2+

    Hi, I am not in any way nocking the home built, I started with a genuine DJI F550 and had lots of fun with it, but at that time there were fewer options, today the market has expanded considerably and NewGuy01 did say price was not a big concern, in that case I would have gone a little further...

    Kit VS. Phantom Vision 2+

    Kits in general are not as tidy looking as a mass produced item like those from DJI or Walkera maybe Align, depends on what you want to accomplish. A home built suav (depending on your skills and patience) will mostly look untidy and home built (lots of wiring and electronics, camera FPV etc.)...

    Hardcase LiPo batteries for multi rotor - a good or bad thing?

    Hi my understanding is that hard case batteries are used in car racing etc. where they are subject to much rougher treatment and need to be protected. The reason that they are generally not used in the air is because they are heavier than those without case. regards - bruce

    How Do You Avoid Sparking During Battery Connection

    Hi, Barts theory would not work for anyone, for electrons to flow you need a circuit, one connection + or - does not constitute a circuit therefore no flow until the circuit is closed then bang the spark and surge of electrons. regards - bruce PS there are now plenty of anti-spark connectors...

    What is the difference between airframes?

    Hi Guys, Yes those Aluminium Alloy Quick Detach Self-locking Prop Adaptors from "Drones vision" are the best that I have found, they are very accurately machined and good quality. I got caught with adaptors from other sites that were really badly made with burrs and running untrue (out of...

    What should I build next DJI 550 or Tarot 680 or something else

    Hi multiman, Tbs discovery although very good for fpv it is very limited for room / space very little room for battries etc. Depending on what flight times and AUW you plan to have will determine whats needed. The DJI F550 is great as long as you do not load it up with landing gear, gimbal &...

    Next step would be to connect an altinator to the gas engine and do away with the limitation of a battery altogether. great prototype. regards - bruce P.S. gas powered helicopter would make more sense or not?

    Factory motor balancing. Did they struggle with this one?

    Tiger-Motors U8 + 28x9,2 props

    It is well known that an obstruction to the airflow after it goes through the propeller reduces efficiency slightly more than in front of the propeller (as long as the obstruction is the same distance and size from the propeller e.g. the copter arms) regards - bruce
