It's time to charge the quad batteries so that you are ready to torment him. Oh wait....

My mind isn't numb yet, as it's a new job - but I just don't feel like working much today. Plus my boss is out, so it's an unofficial web surfing day.

Thanks, Hal. Haven't thought about that story in many years. In fact, I just now remembered that, at the time, Dad was proud of me signing up, but Mom was madder than a hornet. She was over the moon when I got my rejection. Very similar situation in my house these days as junior is contemplating...

At first, I thought that might be a time-lapse, but after seeing motion only in the clouds, I thought it might have been some kind of software effect.

Awesome, thanks very much Cowboy! That's definitely it and is, like you said, sold at a big premium. Luckily, I picked mine up on a 50% off sale on amazon, so looks like I was only "taken" for 4-5 bucks.

Too much fisheye bugs me too, but you can swap out the lens on a lot of FPV cameras. Pretty sure RunCam Swift does. I have no idea how boxes or goggle compare though.

I believe the answer to this question is: yes.

I'm right there with you on that. Funnily enough, my younger brother got into the Navy and was booted out for flunking the drug test - after he was already at the country club - I mean boot camp.

Agree, but if I find that the $9 module works with my quad, I may get it just to not have to mess with replacing batteries in the toy controller.

Thank you both for your service. Great story, Glass! My military service story doesn't really qualify for Hal's thread, but I already started typing and you can't stop me. :) Back when I was young man, or when Hal was my age, 3 friends and I had decided to join the Marine Corp. We all went...

Pretty cool, Blue. Beautiful area.

No. He's saying it might be a better option than sticking a multi-protocol module in your Taranis. If your main goal is to fly hobby grade quads, then the QX7 will be great.

I've searched for a while and couldn't find anything, but wondering if @Jackson or anyone else knows which brand the Holy Stone F181C is a clone of: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SAUAP5C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yeah my expectations are as about as low as my toy quad's performance :) I like the concept of the T86G, but then I'd have 3 controllers, taking me in the wrong direction. I don't plan on getting any (or many) more "toy" quads, but I can definitely see that being super useful for someone who...

No cable is provided, but you may have one laying around. You just need a USB to USB micro cable: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-USB-Cable-Micro-Meters/dp/B003ES5ZSW There is another option from OrangeRX - it's a USB dongle that is meant to let you go wireless, but I've not been able to...

At least for Taranis, there is something called a Multiprotocol Module for (mainly) toys: https://www.banggood.com/Multiprotocol-TX-Module-For-Frsky-X9D-X9D-Plus-X12S-Flysky-TH9X-Transmitter-p-1097688.html?cur_warehouse=CN There are other modules to support other protocols. I've got a Tiny 6...

I was worried about that very thing - I mainly learned two things on this while studying. Number one is in the context of you being a HAM radio operator, at home, presumably with a big antennae on your house so all your neighbors know. If a neighbor mentions/complains, they say to work with...

Great video! Really liked that cloud fade effect you used - you tricked me. At first I thought you were catching the reflection of the clouds in the water until another second or two went by.

I was wondering when the next edition of Dr. Absurd was coming out. Nice flying there and a new location to boot. I saw what looked like a large branch or tree trunk on the ground when you were getting the quad out of it's nest. I couldn't help but wonder if you George Washington'd your quad...

Awesome. So at 2 wires per day....LOL just kidding. By the time you get to 8 to 10 pairs of wires, your speed and skill will have increased very noticeably.
