    Pre-buying advice

    Yes, it has an OSD, I turn virtually all but the battery voltage and a couple other things off, I also have a Bfight 210 but I like the x215 better. I'm also building one little by little, but the price of the build is already topping $350. Unfortunately I lost an x215, ordered a replacement...

    Pre-buying advice

    I have an I6, played with it for a bit before it heads to it's intended owner. The I6 is basic, but with the interface of the taranis and setup options and relative ease once you learn the basics, the taranis is miles beyond the I6 IMO. My original budget for a transmitter was in the I6...

    Pre-buying advice

    I'd say spend a bit more on the transmitter. https://m.banggood.com/pt/FrSky-ACCST-Taranis-Q-X7-2_4GHz-16CH-Transmitter-White-Black-p-1112717.html?rmmds=search Personally I have a Taranis Plus but I'm considering getting a Q X7 as a spare lower profile radio.

    Pre-buying advice

    I have myself an Furibee X215 Pro as a BNF, inexpensive, flies well. https://m.gearbest.com/brushless-fpv-racer/pp_708379.html?wid=21 I have a set of Aomway Commander goggles, under $350 with diversity, CNHL batteries are good 4s batteries that can be had rather inexpensively and they take a...

    The calipers measure my MR30 connector pins to be the same outer diameter of the 2mm banana plugs, plus they are protected against shorts.

    First build eventually

    What size banana plugs would you recommend then? These are small connectors, anything smaller I would think would be too small for the diameter of the motor wires.

    Hello I am new here

    Grand Canyon has helicopter tours, I was there for a few days on 2 different road trips about 2 weeks apart (upwards of 7000 miles of driving). Not a place I'd want to fly a drone as there would be a good chance of never seeing it again.

    First build eventually

    Got some connectors in the mail and got them soldered up, I hope to make the motors and other items simply plug and play. With the 40a esc and whatnot, I would imagine I could swap between motors from basic learning to some with good power. Also going to see if making the camera and VTX plug...

    A little add on to aid in orientation :)

    I've thought about doing that on my quad. Decided against it as I'd probably put my own props into it...

    UAV Futures inspired $99 build

    I bought myself a new soldering iron, a dremel 2000, love it, butane powered, portable, I use the exhaust vent for the soldering tip to shrink the heat shrink tubing after I solder my wires. Nice for small jobs, going to make a nice field setup as well.

    UAV Futures inspired $99 build

    I'm building my first quad as well, looked at those 4 in one ESC's and ended up going with a DALRC 4-in-1 40A 32bit Engine ESC, figure the 40a continuous should handle current and future needs, will see how it goes though.
