    why do other battery's die fast in my drone

    What mAh is your original battery? Are you sure your batteries are getting fully charged? Check them with a meter they should be ~8.4V.

    Eachine Wizard, awesome or hype?

    IDK, what are you going to use for FPV viewing? That would be my first step, some decent goggles and antenna upgrades.

    Houses that will sadly fall of the cliff into the ocean

    Nowhere is that more evident than in New Orleans.

    Houses that will sadly fall of the cliff into the ocean

    Same thing happened along Lake Michigan by the Indiana dunes.

    Eachine Wizard, awesome or hype?

    Forget the old, clunky, large (47 x 26.2 x 15mm) and heavy (14.9g) FS-iA6B. Flysky's latest RX is smaller (36 x 22 x 7.5mm) and much lighter (4.5g), and the detachable, easily replaceable, slim antennas are a nice touch...

    New To Drones

    There are quite a few excellent Youtube reviewers out there who do honest, professional and comprehensive reviews, clearly spelling out the pros and cons. At places like Amazon those not marked 'Verified Purchase' should be ignored.

    Eachine Tiny QX95 95mm Micro FPV

    I don't know what you mean by smaller, I used those motors (I'm assuming you mean 2212) with my tricopter, they work good with 10 inch props (I used 1045). You can go to smaller props but the grams of thrust will suffer. An 8 inch prop will generate ~30% less thrust.

    Horse-drawn wagons, butt whoopins, and cigars

    A couple father stories. When a was a young teen my mom caught me smoking and it was the old "wait till your father comes home." At the dinner table I figured I'd be preemptive. "Hey pop, how old were you when you started smoking?" Without even looking up, between bites, he replied " 'bout...

    Looking for drone with specific features

    Any conversion makes for a degradation in quality. But my point was the Bugs 2 AVIs that are troublesome compared to normal AVIs. All other AVIs I have play in Win 10. BTW AVI is just a container, the Bugs 3 puts crap inside. Many AVIs are MPEG4s inside. I just checked MM in Win 7 will open...

    Looking for drone with specific features

    I wouldn't say underpowered and FWIW it's WiFi range (and it's overall range in general) is excellent, almost amazing. But the Hubsan (which was about ~$300 last year) is just a better overall choice these days. FWIW I won a Bugs 2C. At the time I entered the contest they were ~$190. It...

    Looking for drone with specific features

    Not really, especially at that price you linked to. The Hubsan has better video and has a built in 5.8ghz FPV screen (could use with FPV goggles) and unlike the Bugs has a follow me GPS mode, a nice touch. It also has a high rate Sport Mode and replacement batteries are higher mAh and about 30%...

    Am I Missing Something?

    I don't agree with that, especially if you factor in your time/labor/tools. The amount of posts we see across various forums concerning the trials and tribulations of actually getting a 'build' flying are staggering. How many times have we seen cry for help posts, that simply fade away? We...
