    Range mod now no lcd display or beeping X5HC solid light

    Not familiar with the mod, but I assume you are putting something like a RP-SMA connector on it and a 2.4GHz dipole antenna by just de soldering the old antenna and making up the new connections. If that is the case I'd look for a short or see if perhaps you have a bad joint to where you are...

    Controlling quad via laser

    Well we do have people that laser designate targets. If you use an IR laser it is invisible to the eye, but VERY visible to IR equipment.

    Qav-X go pro mount

    As long as it is not too heavy I don't see a problem with it, though removable is always better. CA or super glue might be better for that reason.

    First time build! Help!

    The best parts is a pretty hard question, because you can get really crazy and really expensive fast. But if you are just looking for a build that will have all of the range you should need for acro and racing then the normal 2.4GHz/5.8GHz setup should be just fine for you. What type of...

    3DR DIY Quad Frame w/ everything to fly (FPV, brushless gimbal) - Hobbyist Project

    Still have anything? Also are you military, don't see many civilians using CONUS :P

    Second opinion before i pull the trigger

    naze is a great place to start as they have been around for a bit, and there is a lot of info on them. If that is what it says in the description then you should be fine, some of those don't come with PWM inputs. Though if you can do PPM it is usually preferred. I started out on PWM and I...

    faulty motor or esc's how do I teat.

    Do you happen to have a multi-meter? Might test the ESCs separately, or compare the resistance between leads on a good motor and compare it to the suspected bad motor. There could be a strait short between two of the coils, but I suspect that you would have noticed something melting or...

    Second opinion before i pull the trigger

    Make sure to get four motors, and I'd check to see if that FC can support PWM in, if not you should be able to get a Rx with a PPM in that supports that protocol. I'd try out some DAL props if possible. I did not go to the links and check any type of specs however from a glance it looks...

    X8C Charger recomendation

    A couple of options, you can charge most batteries in about an hour as most support 1C, or you could get multiple batteries and a multi charger. I've seen quite a few different ones for smaller 1S batteries like the ones Husban uses. I'd suggest the multi-charger rather than higher charge...

    Circuit design for short-circuting outputs when needed

    Can't you just use two MOSFETS in series, or a Transistor to short it to ground (through a resistor if needed)?

    Help with FPV System

    Make sure the cable inputs from analog video rather than outputting to it.

    Help with FPV System

    Well to do it over the lightning port is probably pretty complicated unless apple has an API for that or unless DJI's tool would work with raw analog video. You might find an analog video to lightning adapter if such a thing existed you could use a normal hobby receiver.

    Help with FPV System

    Higher latency. Part of the reason we avoid WiFi cams. But with this it the latency would be even higher. Upwards of 100ms. Reliability is probably the largest concern with any WLAN.

    Help with FPV System

    802.11 is not ideal for FPV when you want any type of range. If you wanted you could make a little Rx/transponder/adapter that Received 5.8 GHz Analog video and re transmitted video over 2.4 GHz 802.11 protocols. Keep in mind that your control probably uses 2.4 GHz as well so you would...

    DRL sim for Linux

    Quick question for any Linux enthusiast out there. Will DRL run on Linux even if it needs to be in wine, and will a Taranis be usable as a controller in Linux. If DRL won't run then can I use the Taranis with Linux on free rider?

    UDI Battery Connector Type?

    looks like a regular balance plug (JST), if not it is probably a mini berg connector.

    Check connections, sounds like the instructions are wrong, the battery is charged or the connection is incorrect. The last being likely if you know the battery is discharged.

    Escs not calibrating properly

    Have you checked to see if the throttle is on the correct channel that the FCB is assuming it is on?

    1st Quadcopter with rc helicopters

    100% true. However I have seen successful builds where the CW props were offset ~2 inches from the CCW props. It flew just fine, however it is certainly not recommended. A little offset small enough that it won't affect the other props will likely be fine or if the props are far enough...

    UPDATE!! EACHINE FALCON 250 FELL IN THE POOL!

    Make sure that if you sanitize your pool with a lot of chemicals that are possibly conductive or if you use salt in the pool that you wash the parts off while they don't have any power connected (maybe even use soap, but unless it is something that water would not immediately remove I'd not use...
