Come on Bill, I'm betting you don't hold normal conversations face to face like that. If you do then it's not a "style", but more like a bad habit. As for having to tell us where and what the quad is doing is simply a typical trait of YouTubers. For some reason they believe they have to keep...

Can you speak normally? That incessant upward inflection at the end of each sentence becomes rather irritating after a short time. There's no need to tell us what the quad is doing at every move. "It's going up, it's going left, it's going right" Etc. etc. We know what it's doing, we can...

Canada, apart from Australia, my favourite part of the world. I spent 2 excellent months travelling from Vancouver to Toronto in a 28 foot mobile home. I even considered emigrating when I was offered a job there. The Rockies especially Banff and Lake Louis and Niagara Falls were definitely the...

I don't know, I thought all those old wive's tales had long ago been put to bed. No GPS is better, Brushed motors are just as good as unbrushed, cheap and nasty Chinese quads are just as good as DJI quads. and headless mode is great. The problem is, it was great educating the quad flyers of a...

I recall reading about the Bugs WiFi transmitter interferring with the Control board's receiver. Especially when the bugs was being flown close to it's limits in distance. I never had to fix one myself, but if memory serves me correctly a little housekeeping with antennas and shielding, made it...

Did you edit the crash out of your Amazing video? Tell me, have you actually watched any of the videos made by DJI flyers? Did you happen to notice any differences in the video quality? There are thousands upon thousands of them available on the Net. You really should do yourself a favor and...

What's all this about having to get licences and pilot training. If you're a hobbyist and not earning money from flying aren't you allowed to fly without having to sit an exam? Sorry Science Flyer, you appear to have to some strange hangup on quality and people who can actually afford a better...

Have you ever noticed it getting a little misty or damp after dark? Could it be possible that your Bugs is blowing moisture down into it's body and causing a bad connections to get worse? Do you store your Bugs and controller in a warm and dry house prior to flying. Both of them could be sucking...

Seriously, forget about "headless mode" Once you get used to it, you'll find it hard to fly normally. What happens when you upgrade to a quad which doesn't have "headless"? You'll be flying into trees and walls very quickly. It's like buying a new car and finding the indicator switch is on the...

Have you thought of balancing your props? Just one slightly off balance prop can play havoc with camera stability. A friend of a friend came to me last weekend and asked me to check out his video and it wasn't slightly wobbly it was almost unwatchable. The first thing I did was check his props...

What's wrong with the NAZA controller with GPS?. OK it's as old as the KK2 but it's what flies the older Phantoms and compared to KK2's they're almost bulletproof.

G'day Hike, the name's Stu from the NW of NSW. Sorry to upset you mate, but our Government is about to upset our applecarts. They will expect us all to register our quadcopters, planes etc. Pay $20 each every year and get a licence. Flying any further than line of sight will be outlawed and no...

Hi fellow pilots, I'm from the Bush, Australia. I live in a small town where there's a Fire Chief who flies a quad and doesn't like quad flyers and me, who loves quads or anything else using RF for control. I wa invited here by a Gentleman who goes by the moniker of ArmyVet (Bill) He tells me...
