I like it for FPV and sometimes when my son comes over we rip around the local field together using FPV. A lt of fun and his little 250 can really take a beating. So 1.3 ghz is better for FPV and here I thought 5.8 was the best why is 1.3 better?

Tried the 250 for an hour and that looks like my answer both the transmitter and camera got warm but not too hot so I think that will work. Thanks for your help!

I'll go and try that I'm on my way to my little hobby building/repair shed now and let it run while I do some other stuff.

The camera does create some of its own heat so it may warm things up but I believe you are right about it not being an issue because they come in an enclosed case. Yes the transmitter gets pretty warm and I was sitting here thinking how can I overcome that problem. I think what I can do is build...

Totally not related to quads but that is where my Fat Shark camera equipment was taken from. I'm in the process of building Charon the Ferryman of the River Styx and want to place a camera in his head. His head will turn and tip up and down with red LED lights for eyes but it is also covered...

Okay unless the local police want me to work for them I think the camera will have to be in the distant future, thanks Bartman

Am I understanding this correctly is the cost of a complete unit for FPV only 300pounds or was that Euros?

Those are very cool but far to rich for me, unless I win the lottery!

Why was the Tarot a problem for you?

Where I live there has been a couple of times where nasty people on the run hide out in the school yard behind my place or drunken parties occur. A couple of months ago there was a major police presence and they searched the area all around for a couple of hours and finally found one of the...

I've had the V1 and I've had the V2, yes the V2 has more features but I found it more quirky than the V1. I bought another V1 and will stay with the quad configuration because the V1 acts poorly with a hex with six legs but great with a hex with three legs as you see in this video...

This is how the batteries are now, it flies the same, is more stable in wind and descends without the bad rocking side to side, a very large improvement by hanging the batteries underneath.

I read the article and it was a long read with some interesting points. In the application I have I believe the low CG will help with stability because I'm looking more at it's stability during hover as opposed to agility in flight. I only travel quickly when moving from one location to another...

I'll check those things out, thanks.

I'm going to have a good look at that made in China scale hopefully the problem is just me.

Funny I didn't notice But 2lbs 16oz is three pounds unless the scale is reading in tenths in metric it was 1.11kg which to me translates to a little over 2.2 pounds. Regardless the weight is fully loaded and I think CG may play the biggest part I'll check that out today. I see you point about...

Props are balanced, as far as hanging it from centre the GPS puck is there and that may be a little tricky. I could however place my scale under each leg and weigh them to see which one weighs more. Worth a try that may work.

It weighs 2lbs 16oz and I slung the batteries underneath it even feels steadier to carry, I'll get out and fly it on the weekend and let you know how it went.

Thanks I'll go weigh the quad now.

It's all DJI motors and 18 amp ESC the only thing non DJI is the batteries, receiver, props and chopsticks. I did weigh it in the past and it was under maximum weight the props are 9 inch fairly flexible ones and it will hover at 50% throttle it won't hover at 50% with the stock eight inch props.
