Welcome to the forums Lupus! Sounds like you have some fun challenges on your project list!

I think the huge influx of drones are probably limited to the "under $100" category and most don't make for good outdoor fliers. I would think it is higher end drones that you have to worry about wandering onto your property. I suppose it would somehow put you on the wrong end of the law if you...

Welcome to the forums freaktdeakie. Just started an F450 build too. I'm sure you will find lots of good information and knowledgeable people here.

Welcome to the forums Sean!

Welcome to the forums sabshire! It's been a long time, but I remember when the RC10T was the top of the line...maybe it still is. I race electric on-road and nitro on-road. Unfortunately, there hasn't been a good dirt track open when I was active. Very new to drones myself and this has been a...

How did you mount your CC3D on top of the power board? I chose to mount mine directly to the chassis since it needs to be a stable part of the quad. If it wiggles at all it will throw off the stabilization when flying in anything but manual mode. Yours is smaller than mine as I had room on the...

Yes, you solder your + (red) and - (black) ESC cable to the pads. The 5th pads are for your battery connection pigtail. If you take a look at my 250 build thread I think I have a picture there of mine, which is the exact same one you have. Be sure you know which motor you are installing where so...

Looks like Christmas at Hoki's house!

OK. I think I have everything order except the FPV gear. I want to get the platform flying while the build gets going and do some research on FPV gear. Plus...I'm close to be tapped for a bit and don't want to have to go cheap on the FPV gear when the time comes. ;) F450 Quad Tarot FC w/GPS and...

Hope your flights go well today! I know what you mean about being nervous...I flew my new 250 outdoors for the first time on Monday and it was breezy. I definitely have a lot more practice to go before I'm ready for anything that even resembles racing! lol

Congrats Bartman! Thank you for making it happen and keeping it going.

Nice. I'm a Director of IT during the day and occasionally program. VB and PHP mostly, but dabble with Python, TSQL and C#. Just curious, you mention getting involved in the software side of drones. How do you see yourself writing code for the drone?

Thanks for pinning the thread Bart! I'm in...just ordered an F450 kit from MultiRotorMania.com. I probably won't use the FC that comes with it because I want to go with a setup that has GPS, but the rest looked like a good deal. Looking forward to getting this platform built and then moving into...

Hi simo21! Welcome to the forums. Your title gave away that you were a developer. What language(s) do you write in?

Nice looking build Justin. Can't wait to see some pics/video from it.

Hello Travis and welcome to the forums! Going inexpensive to start is a good idea. Just keep in mind that the lower end drones are designed to be soft on crashes and simple (aka inexpensive), so they won't have the most accurate parts. That could be contributing to your drift. I know my little...

Hi BM. Welcome to the forums! I'd have to guess that everyone here has had their share of crashes. If they haven't...it's because they haven't flown yet. =)

Welcome to the forums SumpS! I just finished a similar build myself. However, I'm probably a bit behind you in figuring out how to get it all tweaked. Hopefully I can learn to as you get it figured out.

I just finished my first build on a quad 250 frame. Here are a few tips for anyone new to building that I hope will save you a little time. 1. Motors and Rotation - Learn how this works for your multi-rotor before you build. There are a few reasons why this is important. First, it will affect...

First flight...success! For my first attempt at flying it I took it easy in my living room. My first impression was that it is LOUD compared to my little toy version. I'm sure the weight of the battery on this one is more than what I need and it took some throttle to get it off the ground...
