    FPV setup help needed

    The first step is to download the cardboard app from the playstore which will split the phone's screen into two seperate images. The "screen door" effect (and how badly that appears) is a function of the phone's resolution. You want the highest pixel density possible to minimize that effect, so...

    First time to complete a circuit on Velocidrone

    The best thing about flying in sims using the same radio you'd actually be flying with is the development of "Muscle Memory" (amongst other things) which WILL TRANSFER onto the real thing. ;) The better you get at flying the sim the easier it will be for you to fly in "the real world". It's...

    DJI: Here is our solution to all customer service problem

    Take a pic of what the power cable looks like (the end that plugs into the charger of course) because I probably have dozens of such cables just laying about and can likely give you one, or several.

    So Where the Heck Am I?

    Elephants holding the earth while standing on a cosmic turtle ? Or just the earth on a cosmic turtle ? Let's be clear on which turtle we're referring to here, so we know whom we mock (Hindu vs Indians) ... lmao ... :p

    And Life Hits the Brakes

    Agreed .... That's not far from those scams where they say "There's been a problem detected with your banking account(s), please enter your information here for your security and account validation" ... then some poor schmuck does so and gets their account cleaned out :eek:

    DJI: Here is our solution to all customer service problem

    Tossing them into the cooler full of ice pretty much resolves that issue for you. ;) Now catfish are another story .... I've brought them home and, after several hours, upon plopping them into the sink to start cleaning them as soon as I turn on the water they'd start fighting again ... lol ...

    And Life Hits the Brakes

    I used to pay serious money to a professional firm to handle all that B.S. for me when I was self employed. It was enough to handle managing a company, employees, inventory, products, customers, etc, etc without having to worry about any financial aspects biting me in the ass because I hadn't...

    :rolleyes: ... Joshua Bardwell is one of my "Go To Guys" when it comes to any technical aspects of a subject. He explains things to a higher degree than a lot of other hosts do, which I like because I'm a techno-geek at heart myself too :cool:

    Bardwell's video on FPV and the FAA

    "Legal" power restrictions are for the general population which, for the most part, have little idea what they're doing. A licensed HAM operator is legal when using a high powered device (like an 800 mW VTX). The presumption is that a licensed operator has the prerequisite knowledge to not cause...

    So Where the Heck Am I?

    :rolleyes: .... RTH is something camera platforms typically have, but if you're an FPV racer that's not an option. In situations where I've been flying LOS and have no LOS (or FPV and just basically lost or blind) this what I'll generally do: First,SLOW DOWN (a lot) .... Using the tips shown on...

    Bought my first proper Drone

    That's about five packs worth with an FPV racer ;)

    Headless Mode (decapitated flying)

    :rolleyes: ... I don't use it, but I can see how it would come in handy for a newb who's lost orientation and is already at the fringe of reception. In a panic recovery situation it could mean the difference between having it come back to you versus flying away because it was given the wrong...

    Pre-buying advice

    There's plenty of good RTF and BNF quads out there. I don't recommend scratch builds "right out the gate". Any deficiencies a particular quad may have (speed, agility, etc) won't even be noticeable enough until your skills exceed the limitations encountered. It's better to learn (and repeatedly...
