pre #5 :D wondering if someone can tell me any benefit more obvious from a long term perspective for having the x and y sticks parameterised the way they are... i mean, if you swapped the horizontal function, one stick would move like a car on the ground (fwd/rev, turn l/r) and the other stick...

flight #5... got brave and took it outside. a big risk as everything outside is hard or water, but i thought the extra room might help me develop manoeuvering skills instead of suffering. here's what happened! *hyper* i feel fortunate to have entered the field with the release of the eachine...

flight #4 ;) better at maintaining something closer to altitude, determined my directional stick doesn't recenter well, so lateral drift is alright when that works. as a last resort will open it up and mess with the springs. when i get to testing controller range i'll tie a string to it and...

one more flight yesterday, managed to hover momentarily about 7' off the ground for a second, *didn't calibrate* on that charge, don't know if it remembers between battery charges, but it almost seemed better. more blather... manual says there are two calib modes, for with lego man and w/o...

eachine e011 arrived today, i'm starting to wonder if it needs some adjusting to fly. two battery charges now, having the same basic issue of maintaining altitude. increase throttle goes up fast, great, but leaving the control there ("there" being something between getting off the floor and...

what kind of monitor are you using outdoors? i'm new, here is southern arizona and i'd rather go with a screen (and a blanket over my head) than goggles, but i'm probably fooling myself on that, at least during daytime.

i'll be looking at stealth mods if anyone has a link... will try extending the ducts on the e011 frame, probably end up with some laughable fluffy shell like plush fur tiny wnhoop :)

okay this sucks since i only just ordered my starter quad and there's no glory in being the fuddy duddy i ordered an eachine e011 to start with - motors are listed at 60000 rpm this is obviously not what's happening at the prop because we *wouldn't be able to hear it* but it is still obvious...

you know i swear though after a few hours of youtube gear reviews i'm getting this complex. like the whole picture has big meaty hands on each side, constantly. the whole world is nothing but big hands. there was one guy who kept fondling his quad, spinning the rotors around slowly with his...

here's a good question.. :) people here seem fond of banggood, works for me i haven't identified any way to compare specs.. and since product pages take about 2 minutes to stop loading (at 65mbps..) it's taking all day to browse. atm i'm thinking about a gteng wrist screen and a runcam micro...

doubtless, could be parts tho. going to jump in with the e011, fair price for something to mess with, lots of users. currently going through a 42 page thread on it at rcgroups, slow webpage.. i'll save my questions for after i've had a chance to answer them by investigation. am i missing any...

ty, helps me find the right things to read. this is only like two minutes after seeing your post, tbh i haven't used ebay for drones whatsoever.. my first search returned...

after browsing around this forum (seems the most diy friendly/noncommercial) looks like one of the runcam owls will work for me, i get light from the city. haven't seen anything on it yet but i guess if a cam wifis to a phone it can wifi to a wifi network. hopefully!. going to sit and think...

on reflection, i was blindsided by the 'night drone' concept by looking for IR capability and finding i guess a trip toy. the 'intensity levels' copy obvious for anyone looking for a device for visual entertainment, so at least marketing not really focused on surveillance use. the diy drones...

hi, new to drones briefly, looking for one with IR video feed and 50m range for property surveillance and that's all, but here's the needlessly long, and hopefully entertaining part i'm a curmudgeon i'm old, and have a lot of real tech experience, and am totally disenfranchised from current...
