Yeah, I'm at the age where I'm just about ready to be crow bait and need the P4. Thank you :)

Ranger, lol... I will not respond as it may get me banned from this forum... ;-)

I was getting 2 on the main Forums page, and I haven't been drinking or tripping :-)

Thank you! I shall stay with my Hubsan "hornet" until I have mastered it before moving on up in size.

Why am I getting a double image for my avatar? Got me baffled...

Are the larger drones easier to fly? I've started with an Hubsan Q4 H107. Quite frankly it flies like the proverbial bat out of hell. The controls are very sensitive, and the wee quadcopter is FAST. Now I find myself "lusting" for something "bigger & better" such as a DJI Phantom 4 or...

...or buyer beware! Having bought quadcopters and parts online, or to be more accurate, having attempted to buy quadcopters and parts online I am finding that this is an entirely different buying experience from what I have experienced in the past. I have found "crooks" on eBay here in the...

Aah, it's correctly referred to as a "transmitter". "Controller" is a poor Asian translation. Let's correct them:)

lol...and a hearty laugh and "social" finger to you...lol...:D Ooops! Did I really say that? My bad :confused:

As an "0lde gopher" who cut his first teeth on free flight, control line and RC sets with tubes I object to the use of "controller" in place of "transmitter". When & where in Haedes did this word "controller" creep into our hobby??? Is it a poor Chinese translation into English? I find it...

Why??? Even in packed cities there are plenty of parks, school grounds in the off-hours, and parking lots. I suppose that in the central or ghetto areas there may be issues, but one can still hop a bus or subway to a flying area. In the inner city areas real estate is expensive. This in turn...

Finally got all of the parts in that I needed to get my second-hand, crashed, rejected, and abandoned Hubsan 107L into the air. lol...I must admit that it did not go smoothly, but after getting it trimmed properly I managed to get it into the air, do some touch-and-goes and finally manage a...

Good video series. Thanks for posting! :)

CA, superglue, is the right product. You'll want the thin variety so that it will wick in along the crack. Start where the crack is widest. This allows the thin CA to sink in deep and then wick along to the thinner parts of the crack.

Expanding on the rice - put it in a large plastic bag, add the camera and rice to cover. Seal the bag. Let it stand for a couple of days. If it doesn't work after a couple of attempts, then it is time to buy a new camera. I got the bag/rice bit from my daughter who works for Verizon.
