Exactly like I feel! Thanks for this great diagnostic, I feel better already! Takes a pilot to understand a pilot.

I understand your point Dale, but it doesn't really apply in my situation. The truth is that I can afford to loose all my ships (financially) and this really would not change anything in my life except a broken dream, a dream that I love and that I live all the time. Every time I drive in a...

Thank you for you thoughts Droider, I absolutely agree with everything you mentionned and, in fact, have dilligently performed every single inspection you have mentionned, time after time. You see, as a former professional pilot (military) and a current Aviation Technical College teacher...

WILCO Peter, I will report the result as soon as I kick myself in the butt and decide to go flying (Ha! Ha!) Thank you for your interesting description of this complex issue.

It is not the below freezing temperature, it is not because my excitement is declining, it is not because I am tired it is just...... that I seem to have developped a cold feet syndrome about flying my MRs (F550 and F450 all dressed). I guess since the last crash for which I was absolutely...

I have quite a bit 2' of extra cable between the Gopro and the DJI 5.8 Ghz transmitter module. (Had to make a cable adaptor from 2.5 mm jack (Gopro) to 3.5 mm (DJI video TX)Maybe if go directly from Gopro to Tx with 1 cable (hot wiring) and therefore reducing the cable lenght, this may solve...

Damn.... You mean I will have to pay my credit cards for all of this now?? :(

Sorry Kloner, just couldn't help myself... From your hard to believe 4,111 post and all the good advice you have already provided me in the last months alone, you mean to say that a year ago you had never touched a Multirotor!!!!! No way! Guess you are ready to start Kloner University of MR...

Hi Vin, I am also in the 2300 - 2400 grams range depending on the type of batteries I use. It ranges between 5000 mah 3S to 6400 3S. I have taken off with 150 grams over in the past. It is not critical as your ship won't blow up in the air Ha! Ha! However, if it is windy with gusts and you...

Hi Parky, Glad to see that you got the bug, get used to it, it ain't going away with time! This dreaded disease grows on you and makes you smile everyday. Unless the weather is really bad and you can get your daily fix, you are going to be fine. If not, thanks to this forum... people...

I have the same set up as yours (F 550) plus an additional DJI 5.8 Ghz Tx onboard. I imagine that my take off weight with batteries is close to 2.4 kg. This is my safe flying time with 10 - 15% reserve: Hyperion or Nanotech 5000 mah (25C) = 8 mins, Nanotech 6000 mah (25C) = 9,5 mins...

$800.00......

Congrats on your innovative thinking. Without this kind of thinking, Multirotors would not exist!!!! And yes, it does seem to be quite stable. Keep it up!

Good stuff Peter! I have also ordered many items including my complete 550/NAZA/GPS from Jeff at RCHELICANADA. What an absolutely fantastic dealer!!! I have send him messages at all hours, 7 days a week, and always got an answer within 15 minutes with precise info and excellent prices. The...

Hi Peter, First I want to thank you for your suggestion with the Gopro2 RFI problem with my video connection. Funny enough, there is a precise sequence to follow in order to obtain trouble free operation of the Gopro2 and my DJI downlink transmitter for which you are inquiring. This confirms...

Welcome aboard, you are up for plenty of good surprises. Electric motors have become more efficient than nitro.... No more wiping the oil residue on the plane and no more bitching from the wife that there is no more Scott towels AGAIN.... You will love it!

Go buy some lottery tickets! It is your lucky week!!!! Happy everything turned out OK. What a story!!!

I am getting 3.5 Km with AVL58 on the ground (LOS) and will probably get better in the air. Was too chicken to go beyond 1 km with my transmitter (Aurora 9, 2.4 Ghz) but I hear that the Hitec transmitter will outrange the DJI video system (Recent independant RC Sport Model review). They are...

Hi Tom! Welcome aboard! I am happy to see that you persevere in your training despite more difficult days. You are a real MR enthusiast. Be assured that you are following Warthox steps. The only way to succeed and excell is to practice, practice and practice. Off course, proper advice and...

Hi guys! Judging from all the super positive comment you got, I would like to thank you in advance for posting this video. I have not seen it yet but I am certain that it will be very enjoyable and useful. This is the final confirmation, you have to do a part II! Cheers!
