    Lipo`s how to charge and look after

    I had been looking into making a charging bunker, combed the net, grabbed the old ammo can intended for a geocache, then it hit me, I have a perfect bunker and it cost me nothing as it was a curbside freebie. Thought I would use it to smoke but haven't t yet, so it's repurposed until I need...

    My Drone's Worst Enemy Is....

    The women in my house! Not because they don't like them or find them or me flying then annoying..... IT'S THE LONG HAIR!!! I have to clean out hair that gets picked up when the drone flips because it does so in those areas that are not easily caught by the vacuum. The first step of my...

    Company review question

    I picked up a VR headset from Staples for $2 and I have the phone version as well as PC version that I am enjoying on my 60" tv. I will say that simulators do help me. I haven't taken my drone outside to test it out in the open but my flying in to house has improved.

    Company review question

    I'm not too worried in speed, I don't have anything lined up for it aside for working on my Freerider goggles.

    He tried to get it higher but there was a shimmy that after a few seconds it would flip. Hense the pic of it having a broken prop when I bought it.

    Rookie Mistakes

    The guy built it and flew it once, for about 20 mins. It was my first lesson in flight controls and what they do/can do when he had to make adjustments in the field to stabilize a shimmy that came up. He gutting parts for a plane he bought and was going to mothball the rest since he is not a...

    re: a problem with a Sharper Image dx-5 drone

    I saw a mod for the Cx-30 where the guy replaced the stock for coreless motors, was a fast little quad.

    Rookie Mistakes

    Thought I would share my biggest one. I started down the path to this hobby about two or so months ago with the purchase of a Sharper Image DX-2 stunt drone. I was curious on if and how to work on, modify or improve it, so I took it to my local RC hobby shop to ask questions - first rookie...

    re: a problem with a Sharper Image dx-5 drone

    That's my.train of thought. Get to know how to work on the ones I have now (tempted to put a decent fc in one for shits anf giggles) so that I understand what I'm doing with the diy quad I picked up for cheap when I buy the missing parts.

    re: a problem with a Sharper Image dx-5 drone

    I am learning that now. The DX was a impulse buy because it was on sale, I hadn't even thought of the hobby. By time I met the guy who sparked my interest I scrapped it. I like the Cx-30 because it's plug and play

    re: a problem with a Sharper Image dx-5 drone

    Good luck with it. I had the DX-2 and that lasted just over a month before a motor burned out. Was fun while it lasted tho. Is there a light on the charging plug?

    ISO - Transmitter

    Ok, as I mentioned in my intro, I have a CX-30W that I'm learning on as I am working my way up to bigger and better things......well better but I like smaller drones. The issue I have is that when I ordered this via a third party via Wal-Mart marketplace, it was supposed to be the full set up...

    As New as They Come

    Just recently got into RC thanks to my wife. She wanted to get me something new for my birthday and tried to buy a helicopter but the one she bought was little more than blades, motor and a sensor. I happened across a Sharper Image drone on sale, bought it and enjoyed flying it until it...
