Can someone explain telemetry 101 (specific to MultiRotors) to me? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

So sorry if I spun this thread onto chargers and power supplies. I just wanted to buy something so I could participate in the thread. While I so appreciate the dell mods and such, I think it's a bit out of scope for me and also not comfortable to do any hacks or mods that may or may not work...

Ok, getting ready to take the full plunge. With the radio kit charger and batteries, and tools I'll be hovering around 2k. I've always done well with buying quality stuff as it holds better resale value and usually lasts longer and simply usually a pleasure to use. I just have a question for you...

Just picked up a Taranis X9D and a FrSky X8R 16CH Smart Port Telemetry receiver. I'm going to use this for a DJI F550 build. This post may belong in the beginners forum, so if any admin needs to move it... Can anyone point out if I'll need to purchase any other add-ons so I can read onboard...

gotcha, so the general rule is to babysit a charge and not let it go unattended. So another noooob question… so how long does it take to charge a 5000mah battery? (meaning how long do you have to babysit it?) Thanks for all this help Bartman, I so appreciate it.

I have a Walkera cb100 chopper with the radio that came with it. Can I use that with the ladybird bind and fly found here: https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/%5F%5F24650%5F%5FWalkera%5FQR%5FLadybird%5FUltra%5FMicro%5FQuadcopter%5FBind%5Fand%5FFly%5F.html If so how do you actually bind...

Thanks Bartman. Is there a solid choice for a charger that's complete with power supply and adapters to take on a single 5000mah battery for getting started. I see the other charger you mentioned, but that also looks to be without power supply. Thanks again, this really helps as I'm used to a...

Ya, I was thinking of using an outdoor firepit (it's a sphere) made of concrete, so that would totally contain any battery that decided to misbehave. I also have several fiberglass blankets that I use when I'm welding in my little shop that I can probably put to use as safety measures. Does...

so after reading this I realized that I have a few micro heli batteries laying around (that I gathered up). I tested them and they all read 3.7. So that's the stable voltage? I think I'll pick up a few fireproof battery bags to store and charge in. Do you use them Bartman?

Seems the Hitec X2-400 doesn't come with a power supply? Where do you go about purchasing a power supply? Can anyone provide a link on ebay or amazon for one? Also, Bartman, is this the battery you use (LINK)?:

found one on ebay. Admin ok to remove if needed

Awesome. Thanks Bart & Coreyp. I just found and purchased my radio (went with an eBay sale for a new taranis radio and going to put the order in for my dji kit tonight. Thanks for the battery and charger advice, I'll try to order those up at the same time. Appreciate all the help and insightful...

I'll give it a shot but i'm used to the mac and PC not getting along to well :black_eyed: Also, Bartman, can you recommend a good starter battery pack and decent charger that would be adequate for this project? Maybe a few suggestions options would be super helpful. I've read through the...

So - in this video you mention the need for a PC. I've managed to not own one (mac user for 25 years), but looks like I'll have to take one on. Parallels has giving me poor results in the past, so I'll find it easier just to pick up something super basic for programming the radio and possibly...

Another great, helpful read. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

for the purpose of a first build, $50 sounds awesome. If I can't find a FrSky radio this week (out of stock everywhere), I'm going to go this route too. You guys have inspired me to join in, so can you let me know if I need to pick up anything additional to that $50 9xr, I assume that doesn't...
