    chuck, can we just drop it, or have mike come in here and close it up? if you're gonna be a cop and do stuff that affects peoples lives, try and be a human being. human beings aren't perfect until whoops they drive too fast and get a ticket. human beings live complex lives. take a look at the...

    IT LIVES.........Frankendrone kinda re-born!

    i like how the arms are long enough to give the props room to breathe.. like you're not obsessed with scrunching it into the tiniest amount of space. i figure, air flow makes props work well.............

    Quadcopter frame, Lipo battery, motor and propeller size matching table

    thank you! :D not to look down at it because it's obviously experiential information and thus practical, the issues i found when looking for frames and motors: frames don't always state what motors they are drilled for. i was looking for 11xx, but a lot of the 130, 150mm frames i looked at...

    Israel Is Buying Drones That Fly With Machine Guns - Jalopnik

    totally misleading headline. while a machine gun could conceivably produce enough recoil to lift a uav off the ground, it couldn't carry enough ammunition to fly for very long, so it doesn't fly with machine guns. they would have to add propellors or something. :D uzi on rc heli is a trope of...

    brushless motors

    aaahhh.... the relief of consumer activity. i do buy things, every few years or so. doubtful any drone aspirant will labour through my agonies, if you do - i was about to check out at banggood when i was told i needed 16 points to achieve vip2 status. so i cleared everything out of my cart and...

    ...there's a downed ww2 fighter in the desert around here .... secret location :) couple of em around the state. so if i can ever pull this together, my fpv footage might be mildly amusing.

    brushless motors

    i think that's the option i got (decided to risk mode 1, lefty) hoping that the "flysky" rx option on the kingkong 110GT covers binding. now i'll have an extra rx to put in something.....

    Drone Pilot Arrested Following Flight

    not worth turning it into anything, chucks prolly just trying to stop someone getting hurt. golfers can get pretty mental about golf. (laughs) prolly wanted to fly down the fairways for a "balls eye view" har.

    brushless motors

    but i'm still wondering what those screws on the props do. it's a total b*stard. i even went through youtube videos... think i could find anyone attaching them to a motor? *nope* i am totally in. the. dark. what a great civilisation to make an old man suffer endlessly because no one can be...

    brushless motors

    okay it's 2pm here and i have been online researchign this since 5am, after bed at 10pm. since 5am this morning i have learned: 13xx motors have 9mm mount hole spacing. *maybe* 11xx motors do as well! prop numbers are length and pitch in inches. it would have taken about four seconds for a...

    brushless motors

    another thing i am GUESSING about - i want some 1104 motors. if you look at a picture of an 1104 motor, it has a bare cylindrical shaft. if you look at a picture of an 1104 with a prop on it, the prop has little screws that go into it around the shaft. i initially figured, those screws would...

    brushless motors

    succinctly after labourious weeks of research, i am able to determine that a 13xx motor uses 9mm spacing on the mounting. this is amazingly helpful to know, bvecause then, i can look for frames with 9mm spacing. on the *off chance* that the frame actually notes it somewhere. i mean, i can...

    first time flyer

    all the stupid stuff i write here has piled up upon piles which is pretty typical, usually, for whatever field i'm interested in, there's a forum with an orderly, white colour scheme... ...the users are generally knowledgeable and the smaller volume creates a favourable signal to noise ratio...

    Drone Pilot Arrested Following Flight

    i have a cat that like to wipe his arse on the carpet. he sticks his back legs up in the air and drags hisself along with his front legs and leaves a streak. he learned it from another cat and there's no way to reeducate him because he was raised feral and has no issues and will jump on your...

    btw you know "kong" means "empty" or "zero". so "king kong" means like "king nothing". there ar elots of places in western culture where kong is used. loads of clever names in this industry, i loooove the chinese mind. great stuff, the three vinegar tasters. like charsoon, great name for an...

    help with motor options

    prolly worn well past replies, after yesterday and 4 hours past bedtime the kinkong 110GT looks like a strong contender, having the surprising quality of being rather *quiet* - the video looks like it's about as loud as an e011. of course, for an audio engineer, being quiet is the finest...

    what should i get?

    i'm a newbie as well, but i'm wondering, for people who are trying to survey/patrol a relatively large region, some of the other aerial platforms would be better choices? wouldn't eg. an airplane model offer longer flight time and range, only losing the ability to stay in one location. there...

    anyway, things have occured so that i'll be able to buy some bits and bobs soon here, so i'm ready to move beyond conjecture. if any of you lads have any recs you enjoy dispensing, at the present time i'm thinking i want a build with 3" props, max around $70 for the quad, say $200 including a...
