If you are coming coming straight down, try a bit of a glide path. Keeps your copter out of the dirty air.

1.3 it is then. Thanks - I am going to try and piece something together. Before I pull the trigger I am going to run it by you :)

Thanks Dale. Thanks to you too Kloner. Well I think thanks to you Kloner - I am about to drop some funds on an FPV quad setup :). Kloner I hope you dont mind but I might be needing some advice in the very near future. First question - I do own a Hero 2. Use it to record vid on Zeph, Zeph just...

im chuckling - only because i have been doing the same thing all day :). Kloners looks so nice though I am going todo my best and be patient.

Kloner - Straight Naza no GPS? I would think the RTH would be good FPV function. Does the GPS mess with the range of the elec? Again awesome - cant wait to see it fly. Thanks too for the goggle info. I had not thought about the fact that they block the sun, DUH ! Doing some research today trying...

Kloner you are the FPV guru. After seeing your ground station, I was tempted to organize an intervention :). I enjoy reading all your "fpv" post. You have me pretty fired up to build a dedicated fpv rig. Only thing kind of holding me back is the fact that I can hardly see outside without...

I would also rec the use of some CA here and there. When building mine, I opted for the camera tray not the GoPro housing. Take your time building this. X468 is not a "fit together perfect the first time" kit. In the end thought it is real good for the money.

I have had super luck with 8" and 4s 6000mah. Living where I live, wind is most of the time a factor. Real decent flight times as well. X468 and GoPro safely fly 13 minutes all the time. No wkm on this bird it is running NAZA.

Welcome. Some very valuable info on this forum. More importantly, you will find lots of people willing to help. Not sure of your RC experience but regardless, I might suggest a DJI 450 or 550 to start. I had some lots of plane and rc heli time - my first MR was a 550. Love that thing. Lots of...

I live in Durango Colorado and currently we have fires all around us. I thought I would go in the backyard, put a GoPro in the air and take a pic or two. The pics dont really do the haze justice but you can get a small idea of how smokey it is here right now.

I have been super impressed with the DJI 8" props. I have read all the disgruntled post about the props breaking but it seems to me that the 10" props are usually the ones that people complain about. Regardless, I have abused the crap out of my 550 with the 8". Many flights, many situations that...

Sure did. I have got lots of stuff there and more on the way. I have only had it for a week or so and the few flights have me convinced its a great way to get your feet wet with a 130 and flying around more of a camera than a gopro.

So I am a proud owner of this setup. Patrick was kind enough to dial it in for me. I opted for the AXI motors and now I am completely sold on those bad boys. I am thinking I should build a 450 with them and AMP conversion-extensions. I am lucky enough to spend alot of time in a high performance...

I recall falling in love with the MR from Kopterworx that flew the Red. It was a SkyJib 6 with 12 motors. Here is a video of that MR doing some testing with the Red. Pretty impressive stuff. Good luck and I look forward to seeing the results of your shoot with the Red. https://vimeo.com/42030489

THis is great build video. It is for the 550, but I am sure it would be beneficial to anyone building a 450 too. THese things are lots of fun, get ready to become addicted. - cheers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4M95kRo_AM&feature=plcp

Awesome stuff. I will be heading to the hardware store. Thanks for posting all this info. Going to be a fun project.

Kloner - nice flying area. reminded me...my zephyr floats. found out the hard way. (just in case you were wondering.) mine went into river, caught up with it in an eddy. few days later - about 70% good. they are lots of fun to fly. hope you enjoy yours.

dont mean to change the subject but given the super experienced folks on this thread (benjamin and bart)...why arent carbon fiber props used more? is it cost? thanks for the help there. i am new and ever since i began, i wondered why? now i see them on the s800. and again Bart super impressed...

that is funny and certainly accurate. Do you fly a RC Yak or the full size Yak? I have a few hours in yak 52 and they are quite thrilling.

Super clean! Look forward to your comments about the carbon fiber props.
