    Multicopters + Paranoid idiot neighbors

    Get a long pole with a suction cup and raise a sticker to her window that says " I SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YOU ! ! ! " and stick it on the outside facing in. That'll get her going.

    Whaaaaaa?? Counterclockwise motors running 20 degree's C hotter than Clockwise??

    These motors don't somehow have mechanical timing advance built into them, do they?

    More bad news, Droider's shop fire

    It saddens e to hear of such a loss. You can get back the funds or the pieces, but you can never get back that time. Was it a Lipo related incident? I'm starting to become very nervous about Lipo's, even ones left unattended with a storage charge on them. I think its time I get a few ammo boxes...

    Little camp in the mountains....where can I land???? Did it!

    LOL! By the way I have a question... maybe not just for you. And this is not a question to provoke criticism in any way shape or form... its a question about video. Why is it in this video, especially noticeable at the end when the camera/copter is being hand held, that there is so much...

    Before you buy, please read this

    From one noob to the rest of you, and to the experienced pilots too, all I can say is take heart - the value of this forum and the effort some of you put in is not lost on everyone. I'm new to multirotors too. So new that I only saw my first one this past summer. So new that I only have stick...

    Wookong M Fly Off

    Seems I should have searched before I posted..... http://lostmodelalarm.com/Products.html You'd still have to bundle it with its own receiver and power source in case the battery got ejected.... but it would do the job. And I had even another idea to add to it. Add to it a small cluster of those...

    Wookong M Fly Off

    So I keep reading about these horrible lost craft situations on forums all over the net, and about the huge amount of time and effort it takes to recover the craft. I have an idea from something else I was thinking about that might be adaptable into something very useful in these cases. Ever...

    Turnigy 9X - What's the REAL story?

    Interesting stuff. Maybe I should ask then does anyone own one that's somehow failed, fallen apart, glitched or otherwise caused a fiery crash??

    Noob FPV Question

    LOL. I've got to see a photo of that!

    Noob FPV Question

    Thanks for the reply. That solves that problem! So here's their claim: "For superior noise immunity the video signal circuitry is optically isolated from the R/C control circuitry. Because the switch has very high video signal bandwidth there is no reduction in video performance or image...

    Turnigy 9X - What's the REAL story?

    So the time for me to purchase my very first transmitter is upon me. There's plenty of options out there, and the Tunrigy 9X was recommended to my by more than one person. However, there seems to be some doubts about this controller from reading things here and there around the net. The other...

    1/4" braided wire shield, group buy

    Please explain further. What is it about 2.4 that makes it the best? What is it about 900 that makes it work better with sats. This is not a challenge, but merely a question since I will soon be purchasing such equipment and want to learn all I can about it.

    Noob FPV Question

    Since I'll be collecting most of my equipment over the winter months to build my first FPV quad, and since I have other plans (non-flying projects) for some of the FPV equipment, I thought I might ask a question. Is there a way or an existing system that would allow me to have more than one FPV...

    I wish I had known.... F550 purchase, build and first flights..

    I'm just new to flying as well. I'm going at it just a bit differently than you are. I spend a bunch of time on the sim and a LOT of time with the Blade MQX. I also spend a lot of time on here reading, reading, reading ! Thanks for posting this thread and keep up the good work. I'd REALLY love...

    I just don't get the whole battery thing...why can't you use all the available power?

    http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Environmentandgreenerliving/Wasteandrecycling/DG_180525 you should also see if you can get your LHS on board with a battery recycling program.

    I just don't get the whole battery thing...why can't you use all the available power?

    look at it a different way. voltage is not what drives the circuitry. its amperage. And there's a relationship between amperage and voltage (and heat as well). Low volts and high amp draws produce heat. Modern lipo's have a LOT of amperage to give compared to the heavy and large batteries of...
