Spot on @Badfish, but thanks for the heads up. I have already bookmarked cables to buy or make.

I went for the one you recommended @Jackson. Watching YouTube videos and it seems the new one can also monitor the battery voltage. This compares the older and the new FlySky FS-i6X

No plans to fly FPV any time soon, so the range will be eyesight controlled. :-)

@Jackson thanks again for the advice. I will have my Flysky i6X on Thursday :-) Establishing that I can use it with the SIMs finalised the decision this morning.

Interesting read. @Chiapa33 I think battery technology is set to improve in leaps and bounds over the next 5 years with all the effort Elon and others are putting into autonomous vehicles. Personally I am definitely not ready to remove my prop guards :-) But the point on managing the charge rate...

Welcome to the group. I think the Syma X5C-1 is a much better proposition for now. I am as a new member with a toy and I am still learning. You clearly have the gear but for now we are on the learner slopes. My suggestion is box up the flashy drone and learn on the Syma X5C-1, its said to be a...

@mozquito1 and @Jackson thanks for the feedback. more options. :-)

Thanks @RENOV8R, then plan C looks like a good replacement. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ZMR250-250mm-Carbon-Fiber-4-Axis-Qav250-Mini-Quadcopter-Frame-Kit-UK-Post-Ship/292376255758?hash=item4412fb9d0e:g:ZiwAAOSwbihaONGr £18.88 GBP

Thanks @Badfish for the feedback generally and specifically your thoughts on the frame. That could be a good call as it would last longer if I could swap out bits. This could be another option, with built in PDB...

Change of plan I am now looking at buying parts based on this: FPV goggles are a dream item and the camera may be a later addition. I would welcome your thoughts and experience's of any of these parts. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Frame...

53 here. @mozquito1 "you lot might be dead" Being so cheerful keeps you going :) Always look for the stuff you are not supposed / expected to do and you are sure to find fun. :) One of my other hobbies is balancing rocks.

Age is but a number. Clearly still young at heart.

Not sure what is more scary, going to the moon or going with less tech than my mobile,!

Just spent the last 20 minutes googling @HiDesertHal, I expected to find the answer quickly I found a small reference to a micro SD card. i was sure the user manual would have a using the camera section! It sounds like a cleaver drone. Tempted to suggest you go with @Spork s idea. ans start with...

The good old days :-) I have a 51/4 inch disk as a coffee mat. Just like living history, such an exciting business to be in where year on year it changes and reinvents itself. Wordstar on one disk and your document on the other. Then again maybe not such good old days :-)

Tempted @Jackson , but I don't like having to wait Maybe I should start collecting some uk parts. I may upgrade my soldering iron first and improve my soldering.

Just loading windows was a major improvement for my old laptop. Upgrading is always a balance. Lots of good advice above. Good luck.

3 posts before you can add links. Caught me out as well. Welcome to the forum.

That sounds like a fun controller. @Spork thanks for explaining the picture of what sounds like a very good upgrade.

Hi @Spork can I as what is the photo of please, is it an FPV headgear?
