Thank you, this has been a blessing to this hobby and the reason I will not likely go into larger quads. No need to go anywhere to fly, charging station at the ready at all times and my neighbors are cool with my flying around their backyards. The only downside is not having the open ceiling to...

I have been greatly enjoying my SPC Maker 90X and my FPV skills have been improving with each flight. Here is a vid of me testing my skill shooting a hoop that is hanging by a string (prone to spinning) under a low hanging pine tree. A few fellow pilots have taken up doing challenges against...

Another vid of my run yesterday.

After watching reviews I am thinking that I will build my own to get better parts. This is the heart I plan to insert to start.

Nice! This one caught my eye if/when I go brushless, the Arris x90

Maybe once my FPV abilities dwindle I might go for high altitude flying. :)

That's one of the big reasons I do not plan to go into the larger quads, that and I do not have to go to parks to fly. I can build all manner of tracks and courses in my yard with plenty of room to spare.

I got a bit worried when I heard the car coming up the street.

For those who wonder if you can learn to fly a drone on a sim, the majority of my stick time was in front of the computer and some LOS flights and this is the first extended FPV flight (two batteries worth) and I chose to fly in my front yard instead of the open air of the backyard to work on my...

Lol, actually it's the razorback part of the boar, matches my head tattoo.

I was planning to get on of those, then I got my ordered 3d printed FT Boar. So I will be slowly building this up.

Welcome! Three functional, three in the junk pile.

On the left, QX-105 w/ 8.5mm motors, center stage is the SPC Maker 90X, and stage right is the 105 Mantis 2.0 with a heart and brain transplant of a second 90X.

I have a second 90X in the mail today, I will have to give that a try.

Yesterday, after a good Fathers Day meal, I turned my attention to my new quad. I started out with checking out videos on how to bind it to my tx. I knew the basic idea but wanted to be sure it wasn't different. The thing I noticed on many of the videos is that everyone that makes a video will...

I ordered two of these little guys from BuddyRC Friday morning and by Saturday afternoon it was waiting for me in the mailbox. Gotta love local companies! I had seen on another forum (that shall remain nameless) that people had made 3d printed guards but not having a printer, those were...

After a number of successful and rewarding flights with the Mantis, my attention is pointed to the replacement flight controller that is inbound from BangGood and the second 105 frame that came in. The idea is to test the controller on the 8.5x20mm motors currently being used since the 10mm...

Impressive! I am glad my setup takes up a smaller set up, a bag and a hard case.

My first actual DIY build. I started with these And, as I mentioned previously, the QX-105 on the left is grounded due to flight controller issues. The CX-30 has been taking a beating and a motor gave out. So I started taking it apart to change the motor. Then I got thinking and this...
