Not sure about the battery - lots of ways the vendors package thing together. In my reading/shopping, BNF means it comes with a receiver (appropriately selected for your radio) and PNP means you are responsible for providing and installing your own receiver. If you meant receiver, than you...

This is exactly right. While I agree that manufacturers and inventors could and should do more, I think users are equally responsible. I think most of us have enough common sense to not fly our quads near an airport, for example, but the news shows us that not everyone is that sensible. Several...

Ah didn’t notice that. Usually - depending on your email there is a Deleted folder that will still have the email in it until you empty the folder or a certain time passes. You may be able to get it back that way

What are you using for your email? If you are using a web-based email service like gmail, you should be able to right-click on the photo like in the example below and "Save As". Note: this is on Safari on a Mac. If you are using a different browser on a PC, the menu will be different but...

I was hoping it would be amusing to some of you. I also hope I can help other new folks avoid a mistake - or ten.

Yeah, I did a full format, but mine didn't come with an SD card so I just grabbed one out of my camera bag. I poked around and still don't recall exactly what fixed mine. As Renov8r, mentioned, the error didn't seem to affect me, but my OCD "forced me to fix it". LOL. And yes, I learned quite a...

Well, okay then. This project was a success! HolySpork is a hell of a lot easier to control on FPV than TinySpork. Just being able to hover let's me slow down enough to feel more in control. Only got to fly one pack before Mrs. Spork told me to stop interrupting her TV show, LOL. She'll go to...

LOL!

I remember watching Project Blue Falcon videos on this (not sure if it was the one with the answer), but have a look to make sure you're not missing something. At worst, you may learn a useful tidbit and hopefully someone smart hops in the thread with a good answer. I've got to run out for...

I had that problem too, but I'm wracking my brain trying to remember how I fixed it. Let me see what I can find.

I fly my baby one indoors and my larger one outdoors in a soccer field park (4-5 fields) owned by the city. Can't fly there on weekends in soccer season, but it's empty most of the rest of the year. Some say to avoid schools, but I see folks flying at the one of the local high schools (plenty of...

Yep, from what I've read it's about noise scaring the wildlife and also annoying the other visitors. While I'd love to fly at the Grand Canyon, I'm more sad I can't film at Big Bend NP, as my son and I go camping/backpacking there a couple times a year. Oh well, at least I can still bring my...

HolySpork has survived surgery and is now in the recovery unit with a new bionic eye. I didn't think about the props hitting until after I had it hot-glued down and re-assembled. Sigh - what a n00b. Both props banged into the antenna, so I bent it back a little and now there's maybe 3mm...

Probably, but not sure. I've seen articles about helicopters doing tourist flights at parks, but fuzzy on details whether it was a national park or not.

Tortoise, hare. They both get to the finish line.

No, the Grand Canyon is a national park, so you are not allowed to fly your drone there.

You'll need a lot of boots to hike at my local nature trails. Once I was out there running the trails and realized I had just hopped over a rattle snake as I jumped off a fallen tree trunk - I checked to see if I needed a new pair of running shorts :eek:. I warned a hiker coming the other way...

Yeah - the difference is 22 :p (sorry for the dad joke). You may want to check out Painless360 on YouTube - he has a video - I think in one of his beginner build series' that talks about good practice on setting input min/maxes and why. I think Joshua Bardwell may have one too, don't remember.

I wouldn't expect the return to home functionality on a $60 quad to be very good. Mine works so terribly the few times I've tried it that I don't bother with it anymore.

Welcome to the forum. Looking forward to your science related pictures and posts, but be very careful about filming anything to do with crime and accident scenes. Sounds like a recipe for trouble - even if you are what you think is a good distance away. There are things that you may consider...
