It doesn't really solve your problem, TOGAR, but maybe you could just get little file cards and write the date on them and flash it front of the camera at the beginning of a flying day. Not trying to be snarky or anything, just offering a solution. Hopefully, it is cheap and easy enough for...

The first video is about what I was thinking as far as learning to fly. Starting with simple basic moves, changing the angles, then nose in, etc. Good video! Thank you!

holtneil, totally! It's easier said than done which is why I'm taking it at a slower pace. I could do it a lot better if I was I the seat. Same with cars, it's just not natural to me to do it from the ground when it's happening somewhere else. I'm capable, but it will take some work. Once I...

Hey guys, I'm back. Thanks again for the assistance! I've been getting a little air time, and crash time, in. For other newbs who might be reading, the single most important rule my friend told me AFTER my first crash was after getting it up in the air, give the stick little bumps, don't push...

Hi Ryan, Newb myself, can't necessarily help. But it might be nice to connect and learn some things together, I'm in Morgan Hill. I'm actually going out for my first flight today with my friend who gave me my quad. I hope to get a couple of flights in a week, maybe an hour or two total. Let me...

My inexperience is showing. ☺️ Thank you. I'll recheck the settings.

Thank you NCFRC. I'd never heard of a LiPo bag, I'll have to look it up. I definitely agree, never leave a battery unattended while charging. I've never had a problem but I know that doesn't mean it won't ever happen. Thanks for the feedback!

Good thread guys, I've been wondering about this kind of information. One other question I have about charging is safety. The manuals for my charger make it sound like you need to build a steel reinforced concrete bunker to put your batteries in while charging because of the chance of...

First, thank you, holtneil, for the information on the Naza setup. I don't quite understand it yet but I'm getting there one step at a time. Back on line, I was out of country on business for a week so I took some time to read through the manuals while I was out. When I got back yesterday, I...

Nice video, News! Thank you!

This process is often used on complex surfaces like gunstocks, limbs for cross and compound bows, etc. Probably best to have the pros do it. Can't vouch for these guys, but it's available from many suppliers. Just my $.02.

Thank you holtneil. I'll start giving the videos a look tonight. I was wondering if that was the case with the switches on the radio. I need to spend more time with the manuals. But as I said in my first post, there is sooo much that it's a little overwhelming. Then start throwing around...

Thank you propflux and holtneil, I appreciate the feedback. I remember reading a description of the motors and how they are "sized", meaning the voltage to RPM that you described. But just to make sure, a 1200 kV motor is 1200 RPM/volt input, so if my current commanded voltage to the motors was...
