    Learning to fly

    Piroettes is the only trick I learned flying helis. Basically you just hover and than yaw to do a 360 degree spin. Don't go too fast though it you'll crash!!!

    Learning to fly

    http://www.chadrg.com/flightschool/ Check out these videos called flight school. They are intended for helicopters but some of the stuff they teach carries over to quads. Btw, if you think quads are difficult, try a collective pitch helicopter. Quads are a walk in the park!!!

    Learning to fly

    Yes knowing which end is front is CRITICAL when flying line of sight. My syma x8 has hunter orange front props and black back props. That has saved me many times. I'm thinking about adding a day glow sticker to my bugs 3 just to make sure I can see something to help. Their are other ways to...

    Learning to fly

    I'll also add one more thing to today's lesson. In aviation you NEVER want to push any stick and hold it (usually). Flying works best with fine corrections.

    Learning to fly

    Fly high, you are ready to stop using headless mode, so stop using it!!! FPV is not easier than LOS (line of sight), just different. I highly recommend learning LOS first. Don't get discouraged by watching you tube videos because those guys have a lot of hours under their belt. It'll come to...

    Thumbs, Pinch, or Hybrid?

    Dude if you want to change the functions of an RC controller, make the controllers have a R1 and L1 control yaw.

    Thumbs, Pinch, or Hybrid?

    Thumbs. Muscle memory and getting old don't mix to switch to a pinch method.

    Don't let the brushed motors fool you - QX95S Micro FPV Racer

    I've got the qx90, yes they are very good tiny quads. I think the 90 and 95 have the same motors.

    Ordered a bugs 3

    Let me know what you come up with because I was thinking along these same lines. If it works we might be onto a cool way to power any camera onto any drone.

    Is it possible to power the owl's vtx off the balance connector on the battery?

    Ordered a bugs 3

    Does the runcam owl install directly into the bugs without mods, or is there some McGyver trick to get it to work. Maybe glue it right on top?

    Flying with live video

    Well I'm not sure about upgrading a camera on a wi fi drone, it might be possible if you're good at soldering which I am not. What I did was buy a new quad that already had a camera that transmits on 5.8g and bought a display screen that clamps onto the controller. I don't think many of the...

    Flying with live video

    I've been flyin. R.C. helicopters for ten years and can do line of sight flying fairly well. What you are talking about is FPV flying (first person view). Fpv is a while different ball game that throws line of sight flying out the window. The only solid advice I can give is to ditch the wi fi...

    How big of a hassel ordering parts from China ?

    I've found the pros of ordering from banggood are free shipping and low prices. The cons are waiting a month or more for your order and hoping your order doesn't get lost or damaged somewhere in Belgium. Weigh the choice of paying more vs. waiting longer. I like to save a buck, so I'll wait.

    Ordered a bugs 3

    I also have two other quads, one is fpv and the other records only. I like the bugs 3 because it can handle two cameras, and also it will be the first brushless motor quad I own. I just watched a youtube video of a guy that installed the c5830 on his bugs 3 without cutting up the nose using a...
