    UK to bring in Drone Registration

    okay let's talk about drones! so i've been waiting since last w/e to fly this thing, because of all the angst i went through setting it up. i am telling you, about evil. i am telling you. you do not need to understand it, but i am telling you. evil. there is something intrinsically wrong with...

    UK to bring in Drone Registration

    Painting RTF quads.

    prolly means "decals" not "details" :) my considered reply to this thread back when it was posted, paint is traditionally applied with a brush.. technology which conveniently provides a variety of line widths et c. check hobby stores or gaming stores for little bottles of enamel, cleans up easy...

    Some Internal Forum Questions

    pretty standard implementation for forums, most of this stuf is written into the forum code and customisable. bottom of this page says "xenforo" and likely most other xenforo boards around are gonig to have the same features. not too much traffic here but enough to be an active and useful...

    efficient purchases?

    in brief, please post cost effective purchases for odds and ends! couple weeks ago i ordered a box of m2 hex screws.. someone said their quad showed up without screws to mount the props, i figured i'd need extra (i did!) i only needed m2 at present but i had to buy an assortment of different...

    Altitude Question

    in the u.s., it's 400ft above the tallest thingy on the ground, and outward a good ways from it. i don't remember what the # waas (also 400 ft??) but eg. if a tower is 400 ft tall, you can fly 400 ft. above that, and out to the side a good deal. my fave sample from 1138, "you are engaged in an...

    Hello from Down Under

    not relly good for your Qs as i have yet to receive my eyes .. for #3 afaik it's only a matter of setting the vTx on the quad to transmit on a channel and frequency that the goggles can receive. there's usually a list in the product information, you're just looking for a number that matches. if...

    Difficulty hovering outdoors

    if you see props with two numbers, the first is the total (both sides, so tricky with eg. tri blades) length, i guess "diameter of circular region" in inches, the second number is the pitch, eg. steepness of the prop .. the length of a cylinder as the prop turns one rotation. the 1105 brushless...

    discrepancies between cultures is a topic that is near and dear, as you may anticipate (you're prolly too young to remember kenny everett's bits on general patton) it's not about depreciating the u.s., just... from the POV of a different culture.. one that plays rugby. buf fwiw saying, there's...

    Difficulty hovering outdoors

    the thread of fun

    it's a valid suggestion, but it's difficult and expensive to find good indica varieties. people don't always cater to outsiders. i totally love anything that causes short term memory loss as then i can't remember any of the things that bother me, like difficulty procuring things tha tmake me...

    album inspired by quad flight

    tracks are free to use for fpv vids, but you probably already know what you'd like to use. not really music per se, more an excuse to audition various software algorithms. if you like sample and hold, things that go beep. "fpv" is probably the only one remotely resembling sounds people tend to...
  20. yay

    SUCCESS!!!

    depends on the quad. there's stuff that can eg. be set in betaflight, to beep, or something like that. the e011 i flew would flash its lights and the power would sag for a moment. i guess most people notice when it doesn't fly as strong. you're prolly good tho, its just from words on the internet.
