    UAV Futures inspired $99 build

    The build progressed this evening. It was a bit of a fiddle and most of the holes needed to be eased in some way but they all eventually went in. :-) That said nice looking frame and it feels like a solid build.

    Thanks @War Chest, Its good to hear a home built can do that. Nice small GoPro. Smooth video, are you shooting on 1080p to get the higher frame rate? Some pictures of your quad would be interesting and details of your FPV kit would be good. And all you did was upload a film :-) such a can of...

    Hi @War Chest What drone and camera are you flying. I noticed you were flying FPV. Once you make the move to FPV does it make it harder to fly without FPV? Nice film and a lovely day for it.

    Spork's Journey

    I like the FPV computer idea. I already have one on a future shopping list. A review on that and your micro would be interesting. Mrs Spork sounds like a keeper

    New to this hobby currently learning to fly my first drone JJRC H33. A very low tech toy drone but I am finding it forgiving and easy to control in the garden. Having watched a number of YouTube videos a $99 build even having converted to £ seemed like just the thing to keep me occupied while...

    Home Built or Pre-Built? What are The Key Advantages?

    Very new to this sport. Currently building my first drone. But having read your post again I would like to share a few questions. 1. When you built in the past did you enjoy it? 2. What quality of video are you after? Following your lead, with money and build skills. I would buy a small...

    I would need a garage with all that chrome to go rusty. Plastic fantastic, has some advantages. :)

    Nexus 7 LCD conversion for FPV monitor

    No drama @GJH105775 , but thanks for the post. Report button noted. I was just getting used to the site. My understanding has moved on now. I thought initially it was in the wrong place, so I said feel free to move it as required. I think we are happy it can stay now. :-)
