    Ground Station build...

    Typically, the higher up an antenna, the better signal your going to get open air with less interference from nearby objects. With this ground station I'm building, I will be able to share/show real time what my flights are with others. No goggles needed, just watch the screen. I will be...

    Ground Station build...

    Putting together a case for a ground station, I have a basic reciever till a diversity reciever arrives, starting building it earlier this evening. I will probably install an IMAX-B6 charger inside the case as well. 7" LCD, basic reciever for the moment, have a couple of 12v sockets in the...

    Practice Drone fun

    Side note I'll add in case anyone is concerned with heat buildup on the transmitter, a cooling blower/fan is part of my plans already.

    Practice Drone fun

    Just got my cheap goggles in the mail yesturday evening, just some Furibee goggles. Didn't have the right connector to run them so I soldered on an XT60 connector. I've ordered the parts to build a ground station. Plan to build it into a Rigid 22" organizer case, they are sturdy and I have...

    Learning to fly

    I'm a new flyer, I have some with headless mode but I don't like that, I've been practicing without headless, I recently modified a JJRC H31 with a small 5.8ghz camera and have a small 5.8ghz screen with built in reciever that allows me to better practice. It's very crude but it flies well, it...

    Most common type of battery/power connector?

    One thing on my mind lately, when searching batteries, what is the lowest C rating you would comfortably go? I get the higher the better but I'm looking for what the lowest your comfortable going as to get a baseline as to what to go for.

    Batteries and their storage

    I put neutral to negative review and the company sent me out a second set. I'll likely discharge and charge them and record the mah for all and review it as such.

    Will likely go for one of those as a frame when I decide to build one. Thank you.

    Batteries and their storage

    A feature I've tried on the charger is the discharge and then to recharge it to check the true mah on the battery if I'm using it right. On a toy drone, the factory battery charged from a full discharge on discharge mode, took 1950mah on a 2000mah rated battery for the spare batteries from...

    Batteries and their storage

    I picked up a SKYRC iMAX B6AC V2 AC/DC Dual Power Professional LiPo Battery Balance Charger/Discharger. It has a storage mode for the batteries, should I be using that mode to charge the batteries for storage and then fully charge before flying?

    Most common type of battery/power connector?

    Not so much as beef them up but make them impact resistant through impact absorbtion. If the arms are impacted, they will still take the impact but if they had a layer on that compressed or at least softened the blow of a pointed impact, the arms and frame would have a better survival rate I...

    Most common type of battery/power connector?

    Not planning on racing, I don't have the time to train my reflexes for that, nor do I have the time to race, plus I'm sure there isn't much happening on Mondays as that's my only day off lol. Whether or not it's practical or doable, I'm thinking of ways to armor the drone, basically make it...

    Most common type of battery/power connector?

    I bought 2 drones, 1 should arrive in 2 days, the other later, I have yet to buy a transmitter and probably won't for a few weeks still. I'm moding my little H31 for a training/crashing drone, going to put a small fpv camera on it. I may be tempted if the sale holds to grab a X215 but will...

    Most common type of battery/power connector?

    Looking at batteries, I see some 1300mah and some 1500mah S4 batteries. At what size for the batteries is considered too big in terms of capacity for the run time. I would figure a bigger battery for longer fly times but at what point does the added weight become too much for cruising around...

    Looking for advise, FPV racing?

    Just curious, seen some good things said about the Furibee X215 PRO 215mm drone? I know I am still new but as I want to learn more. I'm bad at book leaning and such, I really want to pickup a ready to fly good drone that I can link a transmitter too, take the props off, and experiment with the...
