Or the neighbor a few houses away from Woody does notice there's a drone obviously spying into someone else's window, calls the cops, and you get your quad taken away, along with a free ride to the police station where you get to explain to them how it was just a harmless prank on your friend...

Given that all airmode does is increase the minimum throttle point in order to balance motors for full command authority at low speeds, it shouldn't matter whether it's on or not when tuning PIDs. o_O What you may be calling "flaws in the tune" could actually just be the limitations of command...

:D ... Hasta love that 800mW power for longer range and less breakups ... although I don't typically run that far off, I do need it for "punch through" power when amongst trees and other obstacles ;)

Welcome aboard :)

:rolleyes: ... My understanding of the aerodynamic principles of quads says there's no difference between motor speed adjustments of fixed pitch rotors versus pitch adjustments of fixed speed motors. So, YES you can drive the props with a gas engine and no you do NOT need any clutches. ;) YOU...

An easy fix ... install this programmable low voltage alert / battery monitor ;) https://www.ebay.com/p/2-In1-Indicator-Alarm-1-8s-Lipo-LiMn-Battery-Voltage-Tester-Low-Voltage-Buzzer/1242896867?iid=262677201698&chn=ps

Deadly dangerous to build without a thorough knowledge of such things, as it typically involves the discharging of an outrageously huge capacitor bank that would easily and instantly weld steel and even more easily take you right off the Christmas list. ;) I don't believe so, but I've seen an...

True, but this is something you'd hafta actually build yourself. Not any places (even illegal places) that have EMP Pulse generators for sale, unless they're using low yield tactical nukes to do it. ;)

:D ... Ha Ha ! ... I love it ! I'd forgotten about the X9D's little brother QX7. :)

After going through a few "toy" radios (with many mods along the way) I finally bought my Taranis and have never regretted it. ;) It is bristling with more knobs and switches than any one model would ever use, but I also fly other things besides quads too, so I wanted the ability to get...

:eek: ... Hope you're not burning 40 lipos a pop on any single quad. It would be better to bring a few and distribute that time amongst them. ;)

That dream has come true and such devices actually do exist, but don't ask how I know this to be the case. ;) Basically it's what's called an EMP Weapon, and they are extremely illegal. :D

The best simulator to choose depends on what you're ultimately "going for", because they all have their different strong and weak points to them, but the one I recommend for you is called FPV Freerider. :) This one is the best because: It's free and it does not require a powerful computer to...

IMHO there's really no such thing as "FPV brushed racer" .... It's almost a contradiction of terms. :p Brushed motors are what we learn with until we can handle real motors ... lol ... Any racer worth having would be brushless. They can always be downtuned so they're easier to handle while the...

First learn how to fly without crashing, THEN worry about filming while you are flying.

You should be able to control a "toy" very well before you should even attempt to fly anything more expensive that can carry a nice camera. The best thing to do first is try flying an inexpensive quad, then buy a good radio that you can practice with on a simulator with your computer. It's free...

I like this story even better ... especially considering it's from India, where dogs are considered lower than dirt ... I hope this guy's racked up some serious Karma points with Brahma for doing this ;) https://www.wetalkuav.com/man-allegedly-rigs-drone-to-save-trapped-puppy-from-20-foot-ditch/

Me too ... Of course that's understandable when knowing you aren't going to actually hurt anything and just press a reset button. The trepidation of smashing your beloved quad into a tree at fifty MPH tends to put a damper on that "balls to the wall" attitude that's so easy to have when flying a...

Speaking of "hammer down" flying, I'm disappointed in the loss of my skills, having not seriously flown anything in a little over a month or so. I'm holding out for the Cerberus V3 frame (thanx to Renov8tor) for my next build and am quadless in the interim (build 'em and sell 'em is...

I would not even bother to build anything if I had to "baby it" to keep it from frying ... lol ... my criteria is if I can't "hammer down" non-stop with it then I don't want it. ;)
