    Sir Torc's Quest for the Holy Quad

    Do a Google search for drone simulators. The first link should be for best Sims for 2018. Looks like they have many sponsors from the community, BuddyRC, Emax, etc.

    Sir Torc's Quest for the Holy Quad

    I am hoping so. I'm down to one set of props for the CX and the weather is going to be unpleasant for the next week or so. I am trying out Real Drone Simulator as well. It has emax drones, which I plan to get their Babyhawk in the future, so it might be a good one to try out....if I can get...

    Sir Torc's Quest for the Holy Quad

    O...M...Fing...G! I have hosed the bootloader, bricked it twice, flashed so much I think it thinks it's the Flash. I had to dl a program to install the right USB bootloader driver, had the poop scared out if me with the default beep I just factory reset it, formatted the SD and walked back...

    Sir Torc's Quest for the Holy Quad

    **Taking a page out of the Book of @Spork** Got my QX7 today, walked through the initial set-up guide, wasn't sure it was correctly done and reset it back to the factory settings. I then tried to go back into the bootloader (proper trims pressed to the center, short press on the power) and I...

    A little roof skidding

    Makes me want to try my hand at an idea I had but will need to get a whole hell of a lot better for it, Drone Jousting. Not the stuff I have seen where they take each other out, but more the jousting training equipment made for piloting skills.

    Rite of Passage

    I picked up the Taranis Q X7 from GetFPV. I ordered it Sat, but didn't send until yesterday, pretty quick. I told my wife she might lose me for the day or more while I work on learning it's goodies.

    Idiots keep happening!

    From my perspective, it's a lot to do with the availability of education in relation to the ease of availability. I was fortunate that I happened across an active RC pilot that began educating me on the needs to know and do to get into this hobby, but that was by sheer chance that I came...

    Advice on diagnosing a propellor/motor problem - Resolved (calibration)

    Check the post, it could be bent, an issue I had with my first drone. Could have gone out in the crash, which is what trashed the same first drone. Are the motors soldered or plug and play? I went with the CX-30W because it was plug and play for the motors, so easily replaced or upgraded.

    Facepalm Moment

    The guy there wasn't helpful at all the few times I stopped by. A lot of him saying he didn't know. Blah

    Facepalm Moment

    Was just reminded how it can be fustrating it can be when you have questions or a need to learn and no local people to talk with, or having an unhelpful hobby shop.

    I ended up selling it for far less for car parts I later found wasn't the problem. I went back to second hand bike frames for a while but life and unreliable players got in the way of Polo. I was a pretty dedicated cyclist a few years back, but not the Lycra type. I ran with tall and freak...

    All told that cost me $1200 once I was done getting it together. Good thing was having a membership to a bike co-op. Saved me having to have the tools myself.

    Well did you fly today post videos here

    That was my step-adopted-niece/daughter.....daughter of my wife's best friend. I'd wager she was making fun of me. My wife heard my good natured, somewhat concerned cursing all the way in the house when it got stuck the first time.o_O
