    Whats the best FPV set up?

    2.4ghz radio and a 5.8ghz video system will get you more range then you need. It also goes through trees. At the end of the day how far do you really need to go. 400mw of power in 5.8 gets you out over 2 km how far can you really go.

    how much to wait between flights?

    waiting is a load of crap.... If you over load it will get very warm and when they get hot hot they can cook the coil ie melt the protection around them that's why some motors are black inside and some look like copper (gets to hot it boils and cooks them) Now if it's warm it's fine if it's hot...

    Drones Illegal in Austin, TX

    Most people simply don't like people telling them what they can and can't do. It's like a kid and putting a cookiejar on the table and going don't eat the cookie. IF you never put it on the table they wouldn't want one... Tell someone you can't do something just makes them want to do it. If you...

    The FAA Says You Can't Post Drone Videos on YouTube

    It all depends on who gets the money. If he gets nothing... Then it's not commercial now they have to prove that he got money from it. Ads by them self doesn't prove anything as putting music that on it may make it so he doesn't get anything from it. 1 could argue that you didn't get paid for...

    Need Recommendations for New Buy

    So if your making money then go with a GH4 if not use a gopro. Heck a phantom can get you what you want or a F550 if you want the arms and legs to be out of sight now you build that's the trade off. How ever cost wise a F550 can be built with FPV for 1,100.

    Need Recommendations for New Buy

    There are waterproof quads out there. Just google search them think 1 is called the mariner. Now do you want live feed back to you or not? Do you want stable footage or not? Gimbal with gopro hero 4 means stable shots. Disadvantage no water proof housing. So flying over water is always risky...

    Did you do a software calibration while plugged into the USB. Then calibrate the compass by flicking ati mode and gps. Then spin it. Also make sure the gps can't rotate in flight. Then make sure the craft is balanced right and the battery doesn't shift in flight. The last thing is balance the...

    Build or buy?

    My advise is this. Buy the first one just learning how to fly alone it's allot simpler that way you focus on how to fly and how it works. With building when you crash your unsure if it was you or the craft. Built ones tend to break something like the phantom tends me be built like a rock and...

    ground station

    It uses pin connectors to plug into the transmitter. Been in able to buy a cord that plugs in should work if they have 1. The clover leaf is a bad idea as you would also need to do it to the receiver on the craft. They just use a wire on the receiver. I swapped the Attend out already and...

    pitch curve advice (whoop whoop my first proper post)

    If it sling shots back to center or wobbles it's to high. If it's not able to go forward in the wind it's to low. It's allot about personal preference start low then go up till you like it. For throttle half stick should stay hovering. What you set depends on motors, props, flight controller...
