    Hello! From the "Show Me State" (ughm...Missouri?)....Kansas City area

    Hello from Overland Park! Look for a $30-$50 micro quad and cut your teeth with learning to fly/crash with one of those.

    RTF suggestions (no Phantom) future FPV

    I just recently got into the multirotors. last I played with R/C stuff was in the 90's racing buggies at a local track. my question is, being new to multirotors... why would you want an RTF package? once you step up from the toy grade multi's, something that comes RTF is going to have a premium...

    The 'Ear plug' isolation trick?

    marshmallows work good, you may have to experiment with the various sizes of marshmallows a bit to find the ones that work best for you application. definitely don't use the dehydrated kind that come in popular children's cereals though.

    Join FAG

    since MU is now including multirotors as part of their Journalism curriculum... maybe someone could reach out to the university for a scholarly point of view on this. >shrugs< just tossing the idea out there.

    Tau Labs Revolution "Revo" Test Flight

    Awesome! I had a hard time trying to choose on another flight controller to tinker with. OpenPilot didn't have the CC3D's on the site. I just happened to stumble upon the getFPV site last night and found them there. it was between APM2.5 and the CC3D (if I could find one). so glad I found the...
