    Taranis FrSky/X8R Naza 2 setup questions - basic manual settings questions

    I didn't want to gum up the group build thread, but it pertains to bart's suggestion to start off simple and get flying in manual mode. I didn't post there because I'm sure there are hundreds of variables with RX/TX options, so just figured I'd wave a flag here for anyone familiar with the...

    Flight Tips for new pilots

I have a few builds going on, but I don't intend on flying anything until I fully understand what's going on, read...

    Ladybird V2 - with devo 7 won't bind :(

    Out of box they won't bind. Anyone know what might be wrong? If the settings are gummed up, it's so crazy complicated that I might have pissed away $170.00! Anyone know how I can bind these? Or have a link that walks me through? I've tried all the youtube stuff with no luck :( Sent from my...

    Estes Proto X

    Just picked one up for just over 30 bucks. Thing is pretty impressive. Total blast to buzz around. Kinda silly question but is this thing anything like flying a 450 or a 550? What's similar? What's different? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Good flight simulator for 450/550

    Just getting started in the hobby with a 550 build. Picked up a Taranis FrSky radio and looking to practice with a simulator. Can anyone advise on a good one? Ideally I can use it with my radio. Thanks for any advice. I'm super nooob so if you can keep the info lay perspective it will...

    Is FPV more likely to crash?

    Reading through basically ALL of the beginners lounge, I see a few references to FPV and usually referenced with banging into a tree or coming in contact with the ground in a less than elegant fashion. Is this generally just a more difficult flying accessory?

    Good beginner LiPo charger.

    I didn't see anything specific to this so I figured I would place a post for it. Didn't want to keep bogging down the group build with charger stuff. Can somebody recommend a store bought/ UL rated 4S charger with a built in power supply that would be suitable for somebody just getting into...

    Taranis Radio

    Looks like many are suggesting this radio, but appears to be like a unicorn. Can you actually buy it anywhere? I see you can pay scalpers on ebay $300 for it, but it's unavailable anywhere else. Am I missing something? Possibly the company wasn't ready for the radio to be well received? Anyway...

    First Post!

    First post and looking to get into aerial photography. I'd like to jump in with something that I can practice with & expand upon, so I'd like to make sure the components I pick up are quality enough to possibly use on another build. My thought process is to buy something ready to fly and a kit...
