    Need VR Goggles for glass wearers

    Wouldn't hurt to add some between items too, so anything that does move doesn't hit/hurt it's neighbor. ;)

    Continuing on my first build.

    ... ROFLMAO ... (true) ... :p

    batteries

    Yes, that is true. You can't just go crazy with mAh ratings expecting to keep stretching flight times, because there comes the point where you hit a limit. Also it's important to understand that increasing flight time by using higher ratings carries with it a two-fold stress being induced to the...

    Force1 F100

    :rolleyes: ... VERY nice job ! ... That case is worthy of containing something better than any F100 ... lol ... :p

    batteries

    If it's the (same voltage and mAhs) - why would I want to attach a larger battery? :rolleyes: ... Ideally you wouldn't, but there are times when you might find a deal that's too good to pass up for replacements that might not be the same dimensions as the OEM battery ... been there, done that...

    Another Noob

    :rolleyes: ... Very well explained Rick ... It's (still) confusing even to someone who already knows this (me) but you nailed it :p

    DJI Assistant 2 Verification Code?

    :rolleyes: ... I'm not into DJI either, but I AM familiar with those types of verification processes. It's not enough to just get the new password (or change your existing one) you hafta respond to the email by pressing whatever highlighted link is embedded in that email in order to reset the...

    The best cheap Android phone, to pair with drones?

    o_O ... Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, Kit Kat. There's some clown in an office with a six figure income who makes up the silly names for Android's operating systems .... I want HIS job ! :p

    New drone owner

    I like MJX too, my first FPV was the X101, loved that thing until it flew away and kept on going ... lol ... :p

    Confused About Flight Controllers

    Like holtneil, I come from RC helicopters (and planes & 4WD trucks & boats ... lol) so the learning curve wasn't too bad when getting into quadcopters. Yes, there IS a lot to learn BUT as a beginner you'll not need to worry about getting too technical nor worry about the slight differences in...

    Newb questions - help a brother out!

    I use Pelican cases for just about anything I want to protect. They are indestructible (unlike those cheap aluminum cases) and waterproof and shockproof and vented (you want that for traveling by flying). They come in an amazing variety of sizes and are absolutely the best cases made for...

    Just Got My First Quadcopter

    Welcome aboard ! :) I used to fly RC planes and Heli's too, and I'm finding Quadcopters are waaaaay more fun ! ;)

    Wizard X220 issue: Spektrum Rx intermittently losing connection with DX6e

    Looks to me like it's just stalling out because you're trying to hover way too close to the ground. There are pitfalls to staying that low in a hover like negative "ground effect" conditions where the prop wash is creating a vortex, or "loop" and is returning into the top of the props and...

    Burnt out motors

    The coils do NOT turn with the motor (hence the term "outrigger") the coils are stationary and the "bell" (top half with the magnets in it) is what spins. :rolleyes: Moz, mounting screws being overly long CAN TOO cut into the coils and create short circuits ! The coils not moving has nothing to...

    Holystone Quadcopter will not pair. No wifi signal

    True enough, for hobby grade quads, but you can't sing with toy ESCs. Also doing that requires enough voltage (that hopefully is still available) to pulse the motors hard enough to generate that tone (btw it's the motors, not the ESC that make the noise) AND it's not nearly as loud as those bat...

    Camera upgrade

    The short answer is NOPE. That is a cheap Chinese knock-off of the DJI Mavick with brushed motors and a single cell 900 mAh battery. You can only expect about 30 meters control and FPV range (40 max) since it's a low powered wifi system. The camera may transmit 720 (the lowest "HD"), but it...

    Burnt out motors

    That is correct. Quad motors with three wires are aka "Delta BLDC Outrunner" motors (electrically think of basically a triangle with a wire at each point). If, as you've done, found continuity from any two wires to another but one wire that has none to any others then it's a bad connection...
