Yes, the FC is actually the APM board , so you'll be using Mission Planner. It' s done there. The Cheerson CX20 and the Quantum Nova are the same machines here is a link, there are tons of these Youtibe videos on how, this is just one.

Hoki, got it, sorry my mistake...you will still need a 3S 2200-2700 mah lipo. The only downside to the Radio is it's a (mode 1).

What kind of flying do you want. , This is a great Aerial Photo UAV, you'll need a lipo charger and a 3S Lipo. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__55107__Quanum_Nova_FPV_GPS_Waypoint_QuadCopter_w_out_Battery_Mode_1_Ready_to_Fly_.html It is comparable to the DJI Phantom. If you like...

I fly 250 class FPV in the snow. If your FC , camera, VTx, ESC's have control boards with circuits exposed, they could short. You are right snow is actually water. I use liquid tape on my exposed boards ( XCorrosion) will work also. You will need to seal the ends of your ESC Shrink wraps also...

I have a General Ticket...I had this way before I was into FPV or Muticopters also. I agree A lot of Ham's don't really care about the 2.4ghZ and 5.8gHZ.."The "hams " around here worry more about the other bands that get interfered with. Especially the sensitive Amateur Extra Bands . I know a...

I assume you did the advanced calibration (i.e. With the craft perfectly level). Did you get at least 6 gps satellites? Are you using the default PID's? Did you check for magnetic declination?Just some suggestions

I sometimes fly my Multirotor at the Public High School My kids went to. They know me and I know them. On weekends there is hardly anyone there. Big football and soccer practice fields galore. I have not ever been approached by individuals who are demanding answers or threatening expulsion. They...

You could always go Autonomous Flights using waypoints. Maybe a RTF http://www.fpvmodel.com/tarot-ironman-fy650-bnf-rtf-ready-to-fly-_g48.html . Then add a 2.4gHz Datalink withBTU (Bluetooth Unit) and an iPAD . You could fly auto pilot routes by mapping the area needed for survey with the...
