I don't have privileges to post in the Product Reviews area, so if a mod wants to move this post, please do. First time users of the new Headplay HD FPV headset report what they think. What you see here is genuine first time use and reactions - I locked the Headplays in the car until we were...

Sony 1/3" 800TVL Camera Power LED Modification Just about every board in the Blackout Mini H Quad has an LED to indicate it's powered up (ie; Naze32, Bluetooth, VTX), except the Sony 1/3" 800TVL Effio-V FPV camera. After clipping a tree branch (which actually dislodged the FPV camera out...

Can't delete ???

This takes a look at the 3D printed Naze32 case from NextFPV. They ask $14.95 + postage. Described as; Home grown with our 3D printer, these little cases not only protect your Naze from "unscheduled" landings, also have a small piece of foam glued into the lid to cover the barometer, which...

Video Transmitter VTX is a FT952 32 Channel 200mW 5.8 GHz unit. I have 4 of these now, and unlike other brands/models, they "just work". Having the flexibility of operating well away from the crowded Fatshark channels (only 8, with 20 MHz spacing) is handy on the field with others. During...

Time for some fun! (Please note: originally written for an Australian audience. Currency in AUD$) You've probably seen 100's of them, but this is a pictorial of my Blackout Mini H Quad build. Frame Whilst there are many types and brands of small quadcopter frames to choose from, a...

Here is a low cost ESC programming jig idea, for when you need to calibrate multiple ESCs in one hit. Made in about 15 minutes, and doesn’t require sacrificing any leads. This particular jig accommodates up to 6 ESCs for a hex or Y6, but you could make a 4, 6 or 8 ESC variant along the same...

Howdy! Almost 4 months ago... and a lot of water under the bridge since. Ended up getting a Taranis. WKM FS simply enabled with a spare switch mapped to the U channel. Ended up being much easier, once I had things in front of me to play with.

You've modelled this in eCalc? Dual 4S batteries sounds heavy to begin with. Will 10" props and those motors provide enough lift? With my recent build, I use the F450 central boards, but I use the Aimdroix extended arms from ReadyMadeRC, which brings it out to 550 M-T-M. On a unit length...

Second hover endurance test, this time using a Zippy 3S 3300.

My new F550 quad, running on 3S. An overview of the system is given during the test. * Time compressed *

This video takes a look at the $65/pair T-Motor carbon fiber propellers for their Navigator series motors, vs a $23/pair Gemfan "T-Style" knockoffs. As always, you get what you pay for?

Obviously not a lot of interest here. But, this video shows what I ended up doing:

Appreciate the input. You got me thinking! Being a camera barge, I should take into account the widest angle of view (100° in this case), and avoiding legs. Then there are no tears or regrets later! N-S. No convenient mounting holes directly under where the camera mount would be: E-W...

Hi all With installing a Wookong-M in mind, I am wondering which is the best way to orientate the Flamewheel F450 boards? North-South or East-West configuration? A picture is worth 1,000 words: I intend to hang a mirrorless class camera beneath it, so the East-West favours that...

This video takes a look at programming the throttle limits of a Tiger Motor S25A ESC on the bench, before fitting into a build. These T-Motor ESCs, a relatively new release (May 2014), come pre-flashed with "Genuine SimonK Fast Code" firmware.

One word: Taranis Search on it. Even many of the Futaba owners are now dumping their Futabas being replaced with a FrSky Taranis. Best bang for buck, without spending a bomb. Because the Taranis is so popular, most sellers sell out, very quickly. Mine arrives tomorrow! Mark Harrison has a...

Appreciate the info, Mojave. Good picture. I didn't purchase a Flame Wheel kit so I don't have the original DJI screws, but ordered some M2.5 x 6 hex screws from ReadyMadeRC at the same as ordering the Aimdroix arms. These are just generic screws, and don't have the shoulder that yours have.

Anybody??? Washers? Yes/No? (not confusing screws coming loose with crushing the boards upon tightening)

My (genuine DJI) F450 boards are due to arrive tomorrow. Already have a set of the Aimdroix arms. :tennis: This may be a really dumb question, but... I haven’t ever seen images of washers being used when screwing arms to Flame Wheel boards. Am I missing something here? I assume the...
