    Motor Testing Equality- Independent and Unbiased

    I think a person that is new should do the testing. After all Bart has already stated in many posts that he prefers certain motors..:) He is already Biosed..:) Gene

    3s vs 4s with e300 hexacopter

    I dont think there is a problem using either 3 or 4 cell. The 4 cell would give you more power. Maybe one of the pros can chime in on this as well. Gene

    Transmitter radio opinions

    I forget where I got mine now. Everyone was out of Mode 2 so I bought the Mode 1 and changed it over to Mode 2. It was simple enough to do. I guess I got lucky because mine came with a nice case to carry it in which is a plus for me because I am a cluts..:) Gene

    First Build!

    Yes you will see allot of different Transmitters on most forums. Just keep in mind what you want to use the radio for. I bought two of them. The Turnigy 9XR and the Taranis X9D. Both are full of features but different when setting up. The Turnigy was very cheap but a great buy IMO. The...

    Crappy Soldering Iron?

    I purchased a new Weller Wes 51 Analog Sodering Station in preparation for my quad builds. It's range is 350°F ~ 850°F (177°C ~ 454°C) which is ample enough for sodering up to 10 awg wires. You can find these for under $100.00 online. It has worked flawlessly for me so far. I did purchase a...

    First build :D need some advice please

    Your welcome Risen Like Moto says the KK2 board will not do anything for your way points and actually is just a basic control board. But I felt I needed to crawl before I started to walk. My builds have allowed me to gain experience and practice without the huge learning curve right off the...

    First build :D need some advice please

    It took me a month to just get out of the gate on my idea of what quad I wanted. Finally started out with Bartman's Group build. Got all the parts for it and got distracted with some other builds and ideas. Nothing fancy mind you but just the basics. I ended up buying a SK-450 frame and KK 2...
