What printer do you use?

I think you have something else going on there. I was just looking over my videos and do not see that much yaw except in very windy situations. Of course you are taxing the limits of the system by flying so close to a fixed object (the house) which makes the yaw oscillations stand out in your...

Agree Lightbridge seems to be the solution you want. Unfortunately it appears not to be ready for prime time yet for your application.Just out of curiosity, what is your budget? You're down in the $2000 to $3000 "flying camera" space with the Phantom. If this is a professional application and...

You're missing the point. Unlike iOS, Android implementations are not the same from device manufacturer to manufacturer. Many (like Samsung) place their own interface on top of the Android OS. Now I have no idea if that has anything to do with your issue, but for all intents and purposes, iOS is...

I'd settle for DJI tech support answering email.

When I got my Phantom 2 a month or so ago I was frustrated to see that the DJI assistant for connecting and updating firmware for the Phantom was ported to Mac, but the RC assistant for updating the firmware to the DJI transmitter was not. I see now that they have a Mac version on the support...

Hi Bart (name is Bob). I'll probably just return it to Amazon (the uncrushed one). They have them for $40. I live in Fla (jersey refugee). If you're going to buy a mini for indoors, you might want to look at the Husban X4. I have one of those $59. They are a bit bigger, but you can buy parts...

I love my little Proto Xs. Give me lots of indoor flying time. After a crash and a propeller replacement one of them would only spin around in a circle like a dying cockroach. I swapped propellers again just to make sure. Looked for something binding the motor. Everything I could think of. I...

I have several micro MRs (2-Estes Proto X and a Husban X4) and a Phantom 2. I'm looking for something between the Husban and the Phantom. The little ones are nice indoors but no way am I flying the Proto X in anything but dead wind and even moderate wind almost stole my X4 the other day. What's...

Amazing. Better than some military stuff from the 80s

Full disclosure I'm a complete novice. Have you tried reverse stick against the direction it skates in? My minis do the same thing sometimes when I don't have them trimmed out. Slowly add power and reverse control to see if you can keep it still until lit takes off. Also, check the...

Ive been flying an Estes Proto X (cockroach?) and its a real challenge. It drifts, goes up and down, yaws with no apparent input from me. Part of that is I banged the heck out of it learning and it probably needs new props. The other part is since its a very simple control system its much less...

Thanks, it it was a bad prop. Swapped out one of the spares and it works fine. Unfortunately, I don't see spares for sale. Most websites I checked said late February to March. Hope the ones I have last. I did just order the Hubsan on Amazon, plus several arts of props.

I'm assuming the wings don't fall off in sunlight?

FWIW, and I'm sure others feel the same, I've never been able or motivated enough to build an RC anything ( let alone some sort of heli) and been able to fly/drive it long enough to get good at it. With the Phantom 2, here is something that is about as RTF out of the box as anything I'd ever...

Right on. I did find some hair or fiber wound around the motor shaft recently. Don't think that's the problem this time, but I may have pressed one of the props on too deep and that could be a source of binding. By by the way, these things are the greatest cat annoyers since the hand held laser

I bought 2 of these to "practice" indoors because I get so little time I can fly my Phantom 2. All I can say is, if you can fly theses little stinkers the bigger multis with GPS and whatnot are a snap to fly (maybe not indoors though). They are also very rugged, although I think I may have...
