    Flight Sims

    Liftoff. I had to get it through steam. its worth setting up a free acct on steam. I hooked it up to my aomway goggles today and it is great. Helps learn to keep your head up and not drift chin to chest. Im going to set up my flying chair, one of those fold out camping chairs, inside and...

    Flight Sims

    Just got my first sim (liftoff) and love it. Tree graphics suck from up in the air but come in very clear when close or racing. There are other boards with solid obstacles that are perfect. ie shipping dock. I wish I would have gotten this earlier. Would have saved some stress and money in...

    I dont see anything wrong in that vid. The only thing I saw was the 150 or so degree fov affect. That slight fishbowling Gyro Doc was talking about. Objects in the outer limits of the fov move quicker because they are condensed in relation to the inner portion of the screen. 1" = 1' in the...

    that sounds like lag in your video stream. if you can record video on board the craft, how does it look?

    Quick thought. Is there any type of video stability being done by the camera? This can make things look weird with any type of quick or odd movements.

    GoPro users keep this packing.

    Just got a new GoPro Session and after unboxing noticed the top piece of plastic in the packing had a mount molded into it to hold the gopro in the packaging. Tear this thing out and it makes a perfect go pro mount for trowing on the ground to get sharp upward angles and what not. could...

    Lets put it this way. If all you do is HD video Drones then less editing may be required, since most people view those for scenery anyway. If you fly Acro and only want to watch video to analyze your flying and or you dont care about other peoples enjoyment while watching, then dont edit. If...

    Cyber link Power Director It will let you put up to 4 video tracks with sound. The only thing I cant figure out how to do is slow motion. If nothing else editing out crashes is appreciated by anyone watching ;) Music helps too but I like to leave just a little of the engine noise in. I also...

    First Night Flight and FPV Pinch

    Ive been having trouble letting the throttle all the way off during tricks. Threw off my positions and things. After the first 2 attempts I remembered to use my left index finger to push the stick down instead of pulling it down with my thumb like im used to.

    Prob. dumb cam. ? Help plz

    My name isnt Jason, but I believe that is correct wires. The red and black go to power supply and the other 2 (sometimes white and yellow) go to the camera board that will send the signal out the antenna. My guess is some cameras come with the transmission board already attached so all it needs...

    Thumbs, Pinch, or Hybrid?

    Im going to make the switch from thumbs to pinch style of stick control. Seems like thumbs only is great for racing but pinch or hybird would be better for ACRO or even HD Video drones. Who does what and why?

    First build... (Victory rant :D )

    I didnt care for the 2 blade carbons I got. They are slightly lighter but not much. made for a horrible noise too, had to turn volume off the gopro on that flight. Took a lot more throttle to keep a normal height. Wasnt impressed at all.

    Getting your quad out of tall trees the easy way

    I did something similar with a bow and arrow. tied line around arrow and shot it right above the drone (lots of tries) and pulled it down using the tension from the string. The arrow gave enough weight on the other side to pull it down.

    First build... (Victory rant :D )

    Im not sure why but this post seems like my child telling me they arent going to get hurt doing what I said not to do, because they havent yet. the 10a esc's are probably the only reason the advice didnt seem right. those esc's wont allow the motors to drain enough power to be overworked...

    Betaflight: Just noticed I wasn't tuning my throttle

    Im aiming for smooth acrobatics and fast lap time. In that order. Flying is just Fuckin Awesome! I want to fly like Jamesnater. His flights look like fpv from a demigod doing parkore. Smooth as poop.

    Betaflight: Just noticed I wasn't tuning my throttle

    Just noticed while I was updating betaflight to the new 10.1 blah blah that throttle isnt changed in the same place as the rest of the pid tuning. Ha id started thinking my motors are weak cause I couldnt accelerate as fast as in most videos i watch. Just bumped the rates up on throttle and...
