I recently had a flyaway while flying FPV so not sure of exact cause. Wasn't very far away, high or fast but bent an arm and broke my Zenmuse H3-2D mount. I just finished transferring all electronics from original quad to new P2 shell. I replaced one motor (CW), the one on the bent arm which...

Reconfiguring one of my quads with the Futaba R6303SB 3-18 Channel FASST 2.4GHz S.Bus Micro Receiver and NAZA M V1 with V2 PMU upgrade. Since I'm planning on using s-bus with this how do I set the throttle range on the esc's? Normally I would plug the esc's into my 4 to 1 cable then plug into...

Found this on the homepage for the NYT on Real Estate agents using drones. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2013/12/24/nyregion/still-unconvinced-home-buyer-check-out-the-view-from-the-drone.html

Recently I dropped my Spektrum DX7s on a vinyl floor. It seems to be ok but I'm having some issues with my HT FPV quad now. It worked over the weekend before I dropped the tx but now it has trouble responding to simple control stick input. I also swapped out the motors to replace some aging...

I know that B&H has been selling the DJI Phantom for a while now but this is when you know things are getting out of control - Back to School Specials - Featured products. Scroll down about a 1/4 of the page and you find the Phantom, just what every retuning student needs. Great for spying on...

While watching the Red Sox tonight a commercial came on for the new Ford Escape, the New England Edition, and about half way through there was a shot of the car driving along a beach somewhere and you can see the shadow of a multirotor flying across the sand to the right of the car. I tried...

While in Providence for a long weekend with my wife we spotted a multirotor take off from the back of a boat during the Water Fire event tonight. It looked like a Cinestar8 with a petty heavy camera underneath. Pilot flew for about 4-5 minutes then landed in the back of the boat. Anyone taking...

Caught this on the nightly news in my home state of Connecticut last night, pleasantly surprised at the authorities response. http://bit.ly/14hQ99u John

I was just out for a few groceries and happened across this week's issue of Time Magazine - Rise of the Drones. Of course the cover is a photo "Illustration" of a military drone flying low over a home. Talk about pushing the paranoia but I guess that is what we are in for as this...

Anybody use products from RC Timer? I'm not a fan of going to China for spare parts since most of the ones I've purchased take forever to get here but I'm looking for some parts to build a new quad or hexa soon and I'm interested in finding an esc that can handle up to 6s batteries, I just don't...

Recently I've been experiencing a little problem when initializing my DJI F550 with NAZA controller. I have read many times about people having trouble getting all six motors to start up at the same time. Some have suggested raising the default "recommend" setting for motor start-up to a higher...

Recently purchased a couple GensAce 5300mAh 4s batteries but when I went to charge them on my Triton EQ max's out at 5000. Can I safely charge them using this charger or do I need to purchase one with a high mAh rating?
