So from the last fun fly day I went to I thought the 250 racers were pretty slick. I think that I want to get one together and all. I see a few threads here about 250 projects folks have done and I just wanted to see what things people have had luck with. Out on getfpv.com I noticed they have...

Today the DUG hosted a fun fly event in Gilbert. I went to check it out, took my 450 up once. Met a few folks there, in all it was a fun time several guys had some smaller racers set up for FPV flying. One guy was really good with the racer, flipped it several times, no crashes. in all it...

I ran across this article today while looking at some other stuff: http://woub.org/2016/01/17/lawsuit-seeks-to-resolve-drone-privacy-debate/ The article is not really the part I found interesting, it is the comments below the article. These kind of discussions always bug me a bit. I think...

Saw a bit about this on the web. I was thinking of getting the 4k Typhoon's but may wait for this guy. There is mention of the collision avoidance system for the Typhoon H, which is the feature I think would be really slick. http://www.yuneec.com/ http://www.cnet.com/products/yuneec-typhoon-h/

All... I am happy to see a local action area for the Phoenix area! I am in the Phoenix metro area myself and would love to connect with some local folks to go and fly! I hope we can build a strong community here!

I am not sure if this has already been discussed, but the first link is a youtube to the committee on Energy and Commerce where a multi-rotor with real sense was demo'd (starts around 36mins) The second link is one to real sense...

I had been looking to get a Gimbal for a while. They are kind of expensive and all, but I saw one on Amazon for just under $50, so I thought I would give it a try: This was the first test, I had basically just mounted it and charged up a battery. Since I re-cal'd and balanced the quad it is...

Hey All... I thought I would put a post here and see if there were any folks in the Phoenix area. I have put a couple of topics out in the past like this but I don't recall them seeing too many replies. I am pretty sure I am not the only one in AZ who is in to mulit-rotors I just have not...

So... I broke my left leg about 3 weeks ago.. It sucks, since I can't walk I have not been able to go flying for a while. I have just been buzzing around my ProtoX in the house. Starting to go through withdrawal... :(

Hello... Does anyone happen to know of a LCD display that would be compatible with the 5.8GHz transmitter that comes with most FatShark gear. Since I don't normally have another person around to spot my F450 for me when I want to do FPV flying I think it is kind of risky to fly it with the...

Hi All... I wanted to get a set of prop guards for my F450. I have seen a number of snap on guards that all look rather similar on the web & sites like Amazon. While they all look similar they are made by different companies, so I wanted to see if anyone here actually had a set & if so what...

I wanted to see if anyone has had this issue before. I am currently flying a F450, it was the ARF kit so basically all DJI stuff as far as props, ESCs, and motors. I have a Naza Lite with the GPS compass. So here is my question. I notice when I take the quad out to fly it as soon as I lift...

I bumped an old post on this topic that I found with a Google search. That post was about 2 years old so I wanted to put a quick thread up. I got a FatShark Pilot HD camera for my FPV system basically as it will record video as well as transmit FPV data. Overall I am not too happy with it as...

Hello... I wanted to ask if anyone is using this camera with their FPV system? I got one to try with my Predator V2 system. I replaced the camera that came with it as it was the same transmitter. My first test fly I noticed the video feed from the camera was really dark. It was overcast...

So I mounted up the FatShark gear I got during the week this morning and took out the flamewheel to see what it was like. I went with the Predator V2 and I have to say that flying with the goggles is going to take some practice. I will likely need to start bringing a spotter with me to tell me...

So at the risk of showing my total nOObness in the hobby I wanted to ask what may seem to be a silly question. I have done a bit of research in the area of FPV for my F450. I think my initial interest with the F450 is to try to get an FPV set up working and then either build a separate F450...

For my transmitter I am currently using a Spektrum DX6. I had pretty good luck with Spektrum transmitters with my cars and it seemed to be reasonably priced for the model that came with the receiver. As I am sure folks know the DX6 is a telemetry capable radio, I just don't have a telemetry...

Next on the list for the F450 is some kind of landing gear. I searched a bit on amazon but I did not really find what I wanted. I was more looking for some kind of landing legs vs. something like a helicopter gear/skid. I have seen some pics and videos of F450's with 'legs' does anyone know...

Hello all... I guess I never did post in this area of the forums. Anyway, I am fairly new to multi-rotors, but I have been involved with RC stuff since I was a kid. I think I started racing RC cars when I was about 11 or so until I went to college. I picked it up again for a bit around the...

So I tried my first test flight today with my FlameWheel. Unfortunately it did not actually get off the ground. I am not too sure why right now. I put the throttle up to 100% but I could not get it to lift off. My guess right now is I may have the protection voltage set wrong on the Naza...
