    Will my TX battery support 40 minutes of flight time?

    Actually, I wanted a second battery for both the Quad and the Transmitter, if the TX couldn't support 40 minutes of flight time. I already ordered a second battery for the Quad. Hal

    Will my TX battery support 40 minutes of flight time?

    I had no intention of adding a second battery to the quad! I just wanted to know if the TX battery will support double the flight time, after changing the depleted flight battery for a fresh one. Hal

I'm ordering another flight battery to give me a total of 40 minutes or more in the field. Will the stock 1300 mAh lipo in the TX support...

    Am I Missing Something?

    When the Summer sun sets, the High Desert radiates its its heat away quickly, unobstructed by clouds , haze, or smog, and the temperature drops like a rock from 100 to 60 in a short time. HiDesertHal

    Right outside my neighborhood there's a 1 Square Mile unobstructed field that I'll be using when the weather permits. It lies between Sitting Bull Rd. and Bear Valley Rd, and between Apple Valley Rd. and Rincon Rd. (Roy Roger was from Cincinatti, and he and Dale Evans are buried close to our...

    Am I Missing Something?

    I agree with Jackson that there are now some pretty sophisticated Quads available at reasonable prices. I recently bought a Hubsan FPV with Brushless Motors, GPS, RTH, and a Video Screen on the TX for $219 including shipping from Amazon. Since I don't own a Cellular Telephone, the Video Screen...

    Am I Missing Something?

    There are several Quadders who talk about "Building" or "Rebuilding" their quads. Doe this mean that off-the-shelf birds are not good enough? Hal

    Idiots keep happening!

    I built this Laser gun from PVC fittings and a 2000-volt Helium-Neon laser tube powered by a 12-volt battery and a voltage multiplier/rectifier. It has an arming switch and a trigger. It produces an intense, narrow red beam, and when aimed at a parked car's tail lights a block away, the whole...

    Identifying Front End Of Quad

    I certainly didn't use pink tape to appear manly...I know that's an effeminate color, but I'm not WEARING it, man, I chose it as a "standout" color for my Drone! If that color is approved by the Moderator, then it's good enough for me! Hal

    May I Get Personal?

    I'm partial to the older gentlemen because they lived through more history. But the others can't help it that they were born so late, so they're OK too. HiDesertHal
