i'm using a fatshark vtx and fatshark attitudes goggle and when i get about 50' out, even with no obstructions around, the signal starts to deteriorate pdq. at first, i thought it was battery noise, so i bought ibcrazy's filter and that had no impact whatsoever. so then i thought i'd try a...

hi all: when i first started my quad w kk2, using settings i found somewhere on the 'net, the damn thing shook all over the place like the legs were loose. i'm hoping the problem is the settings i used and not something else. can someone here recommend settings that are very basic and very...

i'm trying to use ecalc with my suppo 2810/12 1000kv motors, but suppo isn't one of the supported brands. is there an equivalent brand/motor # that i can use? thanks!

Can somebody explain this? My buddy's FPV set up works great inside, but the moment he steps outside, the monitor screen goes blank. He's using a TS351 TX on his quad -- http://helidirect.com/ts351-58ghz-200mw-av-wireless-transmitter-p-27970.hdx -- and we've tried it with both my immersion RX...

I have a bunch of GemFan DJI props with the flatted key inside the hole, which are made for the DJI motors. But ... is it okay to also use them on motor shafts that don't require the flat part? Just curious what the results might be. all good or wobble-induced disaster? thanks!

I just bought a whole bunch of gemfan 8" props for my suppo 2810 motors, only to find out that the shafts on the stock prop adapters are 6mm and the prop holes are 5mm and no way am i going to spend the next 15 years reaming out all the props i've got. i searched for 4mm - 5mm prop adapters and...

My has-more-money-than-me pal wants to be able to charge a few batteries at one time. i was thinking of the 306b icharger, which i believe kloner has and likes. i wa thinking he should maybe get this combo (when everything gets back in stock)...

Per suggestion by Kloner, I recent bought some Suppo 2810 motors for my TBS Discovery, to replace motors swiped from my DJI F450. Let me tell you, those Suppos are the bomb. Where before my Disco would putter along, it now books feet and hustles. Sweet! Plus, it just seems to fly so much...

I'm using Suppo 2810's with Gemfan 10" props. I've put the spacers on the props and they will slide down the threaded part of the adapters but once they hit the smooth part, there ain't no way. I'm probably doing something stupidly wrong, but I don't know what, so can someone help me out here...

My buddy wants a ready-to-fly discovery or fpv flip. i know that thequadman.com does the disco, but since he hasn't returned my pal's phone calls, i guess he doesn't really count. and there is witespy for the flip but he advertises only the regular flip and not the fpv flip. so, all that...

I'm looking for initial settings ideas for my nearly completed tbs discovery. I have very uneducated and nervous thumbs, so if you could recommend some expo TX settings, too, that would be great. motors: ipower 2212Q 850 props: 10" battery: 3s 4500 - 5000 escs: ipower simon-k flashed thanks...

Bought a tbs disco with the core installed. but, well, uhm, i dropped a big glob of molten solder on it and crapped the whole thing up, and then, for good measure, i went ahead and melted the plastic vtx connector next to it. Yeah, yeah, I'm an idiot. In any event, I've built the rest of the...

I bought a cable from gothelirc to connect my gopro 3 silver ed to my fatshark, but being completely new to all this, i have no idea what goes where and so on. below are pictures. i was hoping to be able to remove the five-wire connector from the tx and connect the gopro cable up in its place...

A wire from an esc on my (pre-built, bought used) f450 came loose today and, having never soldered a damn thing in my life, i'm unsure how to proceed. I guess I'll have to take the top plate off to give myself working room. But ... that little existing blob of solder: can i just resolder using...

I'm just curious if DJI has any serious competition in the world of hobby-grade quads. I'm *not* talking quality of the product but size of the operation and depth of the offerings. Is there anyone else even in the running? I guess you could make a case for hobbyking but it's so highly...

So, my buddy's f450 takes off from a picnic table and 5 minutes later he decides to see if his failsafe works. Can you guess what happened? Yup, the quad landed on the side of the table, fell over, broke one prop and landed upside down. Well, my buddy picked the thing up by the prop-less arm...

Have a look at this: Happened after a mild flip over. How do I rectify? thanks!

I don't have the time nor the inclination nor the skill nor the steady hands to ream props for my F450. Does anyone sell em pre-reamed? I'm looking for the carbon-fiber reinforced Gemfan 9 x 4.7 and/or the APC 10 x 4.7. I've got the stock DJIs on there now, and let me tell you, I am nervous!

How important is getting the declination right? my naza gps should be set 14 degrees to the left, but the fellow i bought it from (used) glued the freaking head to the carbon shaft so I can't turn it, and degrees are so small that i can't really turn the whole setup the appropriate amount with...

set up is f450 w naza and gps, using DX6i tx. when i plug everything in, after a few green flashes on the VU, the red flashes start up and persist, in various combinations of one, two and three, and then at some point all the VU lights go out. there's no green flash at all. and then if you...
