    Another question about reliability that I am almost scared to ask

    Because I really don’t want people to get into arguments but only because I am interested in safety. I am relatively new to this sport and am just trying to ascertain as much info as I can before continuing to fly. (At this point, I am scared of flying.) As my user name implies I did have an AR...

    Question about the quad that almost fell on skier Marcel Hirscher

    Please don't get into arguments about this. I just wondered if anyone knew the specifics. We must all stick together as one collective unit.

    Question about the quad that almost fell on skier Marcel Hirscher

    Thanks for your answers. I have a Phantom 2 and keep reading about these sudden crashes due to power loss. I never really have heard a definitive scientific failure analysis. It is probably because I simply have not seen one that is out there somewhere. I have filmed one event for a fund raiser...

    I am just interested in what the failure analysis will reveal. I thought knowing the manufacturer would make it easier to trace down the results. Thanks for you answers. And a sincere happy holiday season to everyone.

    Question about the quad that almost fell on skier Marcel Hirscher

    I am not trying to start a discussion in any way about incidents or point fingers. I was just curious if anyone knows the manufacturer of the drone carrying a TV camera that fell behind the skier Marcel Hirscher. It was on US national news tonight, and on the internet.

    Smartphone FPV with Mobius

    Is it possible to set up a FPV system using a Mobius Camera with an Android smart phone as a receiver? It would seem possible but I cannot find any information on how to do it or the required components. Thanks for any advice. Hope everyone has nice flying weather this weekend or whenever you...

    FPV drone for kids

    I want to buy my nephews an FPV drone for Christmas. They have experience with fixed pitch helis and some small planes. I have seen several drones with cameras, but none with FPV capabilities.Could anyone make a recommendation of a rather inexpensive drone for them - ages 12 and 14?

    Trying to decide on an FPV drone

    Thanks. I would do that but don't have a clue where to start. Plus I am taking a trip in the near future and would run out of time before I wanted to use it.

    Trying to decide on an FPV drone

    My Parrot drone flew away for the second and final time so I am considering a couple of drones: The Phantom 2 Vision Plus, the Phantom 2 Vision, the Blade 350 QX2 AP. They all have their advantages I am sure. The cons that bother me most are: Phantom 2 Vision Plus - if the gimbal is damaged...

    Optimizing the length of the arms to the motors.

    How do you determine the optimum length of the arms to the motor? I am considering modifying an AR Drone 2.0 and am wondering if extending the arms an inch or two would make it more stable. Thanks.

    AR Drone Extending motor arms

    I have a sport central cross on my 2.0 and managed to crack two or the motor arms. I found a carbon fiber square tube of the same exterior and interior dimensions and am going to replace the arms rather than spending more money on a new cross. I am considering making the arms two inches longer...
