The JJRC H25G uses a similar connection for it's FPV camera. But considering the thin wire gauge involved, I question how much current draw the circuit could tolerate to close a momentary relay and trigger a function.

Also. When I say that I plan to build a "large" quad, I'm thinking along the same size as a Syma X8, or a DJI Phantom. Not anything overly ambitious such as the Yuneec Typhoon H in size.

I was told previously that transmitters are generally designed with proprietary frequencies linking them only to receivers from the same manufacturer. How good are Spectrum and Taranis, compared to the other two, and are each manufacturers transmitters compatible with receivers from the others?

Having earned my wings in the US Air Force, nothing excites me more than the opportunity to once again, take off and land at a US Air Force base. Hopefully, other current bases across the country will follow suit. As well as former bases that are now civilian airports. However, as is stated in...

In addition to the two toy grade JJRC H25G quads that I have, I've decided to take the plunge and build my first hobby grade quad, rather than buying one of the pricey (massive understatement) Yuneec or DJI quads. I've looked up the basic components for purchase on eBay as far as the power...

Oh, I wasn't planning to paint with a brush. Too time-consuming. No, I'm looking at spraying a base shade of green, then masking off and spraying each additional color where appropriate. After that all dries. Adding the intended identifier markings, then a clear dull overcoat.

Even if you did, replacement motors, gears, props, etc for a Syma X8 are ridiculously inexpensive and easily available on eBay. So are replacement body parts. Hold onto the original, as what isn't destroyed can go into a rebuild.

Nice. But the pattern on the firearms is too fine for my intended application. I'm replicating the larger patterns used on USAF combat aircraft.

Interesting. But the problem is that with that method, there is no control over the pattern applied, plus I want the pattern to be in specific colors, in specific sizes to the pattern, and in specific locations on the fuselage like these. Something that would be easier to accomplish with spray...

Other than the body damage resulting from the crash, was it otherwise operational with the mechanical and electrical components salvageable?

"Hypo dripping"???

I currently have a 2500mah in one of my quads, that replaced the original 1800mah lipo. I'm experimenting with an externally-mounted second 2500mah lipo hund directly beneath the internal battery, and wired in parallel for a total of 5000mah capacity. If centered directly below the original, the...

This is why I wish the transmitter and receiver manufacturers would make their products for both toy and hobby grade quads compatible. So that a receiver with better "fine tuning" capabilities as well as a similar transmitter, could be used with virtually any quad of a given size and grade...

On face value, it sounds like you were way overestimating on the amount of power needed to lift the weight involved. Have you considered less powerful motors?

Also. Outdoor paints tend to be less expensive, considering that they are produced and sold in greater quantities. So I can paint several quads in similar colors more economically.

I have experience with model paints in both brush and spray aplication. They cover well, but are not made for outdoor use, and will not last long in the rough environment of drone landings and occassional contact with tree leaves. I'm inclined to paints formulated for outdoor furniture...

Why not? Naming both ships and aircraft (particularly military and experimental) goes back centuries. Even the class of ships or aircraft have names. Usually the first of a class is the namesake. Historic names tend to be reused on succeeding ships (Not counting the "Star Trek" franchise, the US...

A JJRC H25G. I plan to use spray cans for the camouflage paint job. The paint pens are intended for World War II-style "nose art", and the FAA registration number. Both of which will be oversprayed with a clear coat for preservation.

Yeah, "Bismark", "Hood", and "Yamata", didn't fair too well either....

Where's the connection between drone registration, and BBC fees?
