    Personally, I like FAG for a name! With all the gay marriage thing going on, at least it will make the politicians take notice!!!

    fpv question for English flyers

    Thanks guys! He's already done a bunch of research, even sent me the CAA rules. He's in for a real treat when he does this. Others, at another site, have advised him to go higher in power, but I'll advise he stay within the 25mw. It's all about the antenna, and line of sight isn't that far...

    fpv question for English flyers

    So, I have this friend in England who wants to mount an fpv system on his 550 Align srh. He uses a MicroBeast and CP2 on it. I'm pretty sure that the law there limits vtx to 25mw? Anyway, I'm looking for suggestions to filter thru and recommend to him, including places to get them from on the...

    Octocopter at the Arnold Palmer Invitational 2013

    Thanks for sharing that, Al! I fully agree with you that proper training is necessary for the industry to grow, safety for everybody involved, and a much needed boost to the overall economy. The trickle down effect of such professional measures will be enjoyed by all!

    Octocopter at the Arnold Palmer Invitational 2013

    Well, I guess I see things differently than most people, ( no big suprise there, my sister would say ). Don't get me wrong here, I'm not trying to pick a fight.* I'm all about the freedoms our shed blood has given us the right to, and I'm all about stopping big government from taking over these...

    Octocopter at the Arnold Palmer Invitational 2013

    Personally, I would have taken my club to it!!! Looks to me like he had to be about 10 feet from him, and a damn piss poor job of flying!

    Looking to get started

    Radio programming won't be much of a problem. Just check in here. Plenty of people will help you out. If you are looking for a radio, I would suggest Futaba t8fg. Look for a used one, save some bucks.

    Looking to get started

    Oh, you bet! Lots of people have gone that route. I would have suggested that but you said expand. LadyBug, MQX, there's quite a few. Also, a simulator.

    Looking to get started

    The DJI kits are the best bet, in my opinion. The Naza will give you the best chance to learn, with hopefully less crashes. To expand with, in either or both video and fpv, I would suggest the Hexa kit for it's ability to handle more weight and flexability to expand it's size with many...

    I got bit, badly...

    Welcome to the 'scar club', buddy! Happened to me on St. Patrick's day last year. Was doing stuff on my coffee table and pushed the wrong button on my transmitter. You know that button on Futaba radios that says, Servos on/off? Well, never, never just push it to see what it does. Got both my...

    POSTING VIDEO: FeiyuTech FY-901 Multirotor Flight Control System from HobbyKing

    I can only STRONGLY suggest you stay as far away from FeiuTec as you can possibly distance yourself! Just go take a look at the RCG FY91Q thread if you want to know why. I say this from experience. Can't believe they are still in business!
