@Kloner For the radio tower next door frequency wise if I stay 2.4 control (can't imagine a problem) and just 5.8 video for now...that should avoid interference...agreed? I will have to research locally if 900, 1.3 or 433? UHF control would be problems @ this location...before I would ever...

New quad flyer here (bulding F450 now)... I have access to a friend's 5 acre property (has a house/power/shade :-) for a good first fly/FPV/get used to it place. It is however right on a flight path for a major airport, but 9-10 km from the airport. Being that far away is it still a bad idea to...

I see Polar Pro already is announcing new filter model for Hero3...anyone heard if new model of Layerlens will be needed and when that might be out?

Cool...thx and...ordered :nevreness: Kloner to the rescue

Thx for digging into this for us new Guys. I am planning to use APC 9 x 5E props...do I need the 6mm to 8mm adapters as well... or just the Hobbyking adapter?

@Kloner So you got 1 mile out with an 8J just using it's own radio on 2.4?...thats awfully good :nevreness: That will let me try FPV out pretty good before going to EZUHF I like the idea of ratcheted throttle but...Is it the airplane Mode 1 model of 8J you have? Can that one be setup to work...

Kloner For fresh F450 with no extra weight what size APC or Graupner props would you switch to...8"...9"...to avoid stock DJI ones failing (which seem to be a problem others mention)?

That is perfect....will keep the DX6i for the assorted BNF helis...even if I decide I want a fancier one later for a camera ship...this one will be good for FPV...so it's not a throwaway/sell off. I know it's been said by others already...but you are one helpful guy...thx...

Kloner Love the 'it all tried to kill me'...sounds like a Skynet type story. :highly_amused: I understood having diff ships for diff jobs...did not think about diff radios in same regard (but I take your points). Fancy radio could wait a bit until I get into AP..certainly until spring...my...

Kloner...new guy so apologies for semi-related question. I am getting a F450 Flamewheel with Naza FC & GPS like he is. Right now I am trying to pick the right radio for now (flying + GPS)...and future (AV & FPV)...I also like Futaba from my R/C Car racing days...Are only certain Futabas easily...

Hi Just a quick intro. I'm new to multicopters, been into RC a little while and IT technologies for a long time . I am ordering a DJI F450/Naza to start. First I'll learn to fly it..then later I want to try some Aerial Photo on Building Construction Projects. From looking around this forum...
