    Helicopter, ice hockey....

    Never seen such beautiful ice, be awesome to skate on. Apparently chopper pilots have a lot in common with hockey players, they're all nuts! Cool video, especially the BTS one...

    Hello from Feltham (UK)

    Hi Tony, I'm a newbie too. You can start by reading this: http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?14280-Group-BuildDJI In that thread is a link to where I purchased my DJI F550 and the place I bought from is in the UK. The price for me was ~$250.00 US less than anywhere else I could...

    What to Buy??

    Confused about TBE and Naza V2

    Which FC do you have V1 or V2? Also which firmware? I've seen before and after videos and have seen the improvement, however none stated they were using V2, so maybe it's an old issue?

    Guess I need to pad my post count, lol.... I'm a neewb and I'm guessing I'm going to break a prop or two when I get my FW550 built I guess I need to look at the date before I post, didn't see this was a year ago. A year late and a dollar short :highly_amused:

    Confused about TBE and Naza V2

    I've seen info on Youtube about the toilet bowl effect and adjusting the GPS antenna for the proper magnetic declination. I've also read that DJI has addressed this through FW I believe. So do I need to adjust the gps antenna for mag dec when setting everything up or is the TBE not an issue...

    Nonsense getting better every day: Amazon to ship stuff with drones.....

    Even if theft and all the problems mentioned weren't an issue, how long before one crashes and hurts or kills someone? The lawsuit settlement would be staggering....

    Ready to take the plunge

    Hi, I'm a mult-rotor noob but an RC old timer. I've been fooling with just about every form of RC vehicles made for about 35 years. I always wanted to do aerial photography with an RC plane and recently discovered multi rotor copters and discovered this is what I've been looking for...
