    Understanding Lithium Polymer batteries

    I took a metal toolbox (smaller one) and lined it with fiberglass blankets, picked them up at harbor freight on the cheap, I also store inside that - in a LiPo bag. Not sure if that's the best solution but it's what I do. I've also gone to great lengths to learn how to discharge if I can't fly...

    FPV Newb setup

    Thanks Pete, I was going to. I really want to "see" exactly what I will be recording. I guess, I could make it close enough, but helpful for framing and making sure I'm recording what I need to. How to folks deal with those issues?

    FPV Newb setup

    The aerial media pros build vid shows them using a voltage regulator as not to fry the transmitter. Can you post up a link to the vtx specs you found? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    do LED's interfere with gopro footage?

    I'd like to hardwire some LED's on my 550, but not sure it's a great idea. If mounted on the arms, do they mess with video footage?

    FPV Newb setup

    Ok, so brand new to FPV. Have no idea what i'm doing with FPV. Just finished a successful 450 build (thanks bart) and trying the next challenge. This is going on my 550 (transmitting video signal back to a monitor with a built in receiver) Question, do I solder the positive and negative...

    Electronics Layout

    It's an XR8 which has two wires with plastic antennas molded to them. The plastic pieces are about 2" long.

    Electronics Layout

    Bart, isn't that where my Naza has to go? did you by chance mean in the center, on the bottom of the top frame plate (so the PMU and the naza were vertically centered?)

    Electronics Layout

    anything wrong with installing the receiver vertically? Also, am I correct in thinking that any + - pads can take an accessory? Meaning, can I solder positive and negative wires from any of the electronics to any of the + - pads that the ESC's are soldered to? Is it better to solder everything...

    Anyone have a good plan for a full menu of electronics? Seems like all here and would love to see how everyone places everything and the logic behind it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Aerial Media Pros Heavy Lift Kit - hardware issues

    Then I apologize. I'll simply pick up some hardware that I'm happy with. I'm empathetic to the situation -- a rapidly growing business with not enough time to get to everything. Sorry for hassling, and thanks for taking the time to address it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Aerial Media Pros Heavy Lift Kit - hardware issues

    Thanks Chris. It's sound, logical advice. But I don't think so in this case; but you could be right, I been wrong before. This was expensive for me and when the bullets started breaking (2 of them in the same spot) I wondered if there were other short cuts taken with the kit outside the...

    Aerial Media Pros Heavy Lift Kit - hardware issues

    Thanks for the reply. I don't need a few dollars for the hardware. That's not my point. I'm just trying to get a build done for a project that we're in the middle of right now. I've spent thousands with you and I'm sensing your being sarcastic by asking me if I need a few bucks for hardware. I...

    Aerial Media Pros Heavy Lift Kit - hardware issues

    I purchased a 550 heavy lift kit from Aerial Media Pros last week. Started my build as soon as the items showed up. Kinda bummed at the hardware included with the heavy lift kit. Three big problems: 1. bullet connectors too long -- they stick out 1.5mm in the stock 550 dji esc. Stock bullets...

    Setting up retractable landing gear when using sbus port

    SoCal, I'm being told that you can use the SBUS and the other 8 available channels. I'm still wrapping my mind around it, so proceed with that in mind: "If you have the Naza on Sbus Channels 1 to 7 (which is the usual setup) then all you have to do is rebind the RX to channels 9 - 16 with the...
