    $50 gift card lottery for a survey about drone!

    Gee, one ($50.00) prize for lots of free information. Don't sound like a deal for the hundreds if not thousands of replies they could get.

    US Senate Bill Could Eliminate DIY Multirotor Builds

    Hey, aall American Quadsters, it is time to quit lamenting and WRITE your opposition of this legislation, to your Congressman. The fight is on...

    Syma X5HW Video & Picture Leaked

    Are there any quads that have a separate power supply for the camera? That would greatly improve the flight time for a quad.

    Ready to 'Ride'? The EHANG is a coming...

    Imagine walking out to the garage and rolling out your vehicle, getting in, buckling up, starting it and then vertically ascending and flying away? That's what the EHANG will do. The EHANG is the answer to every Quadster's dream and that is to fly the quadcopter, sitting on it or in it, with all...

    have you heard the tale of craig's mom's bush?

    What do these four rotor 'birds' eat? Looks like LiPo Batteries. My quad eats a LiPo in like 5 minutes.

    So I know this is a forum about quadcopters but...

    The plane I have a design for makes it look like a Predator Spy Plane running on an 25cc gas pusher prop. With a 1 gallon fuel tank it can stay up for most of the day. Put in a GoPro and use FPV controls and GPS guidance, it could orbit the neighborhood at 400 feet keeping watch for bad guys...

    Tablet screen glare

    Says something about the flat panel's shortcomings. Unless you're in a darkened environment the screen becomes basically unreadable. The back lighting has to be increased to overcome the glare and all that will do is washout the image. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. Maybe,one day...

    Hubsan X4 video to SD

    Dear Tres Juicy, don't feel dumb or stupid, I have been on this forum for almost a year have have yet to understand all the acronyms these guys use to talk with. They must be trying to save space, much like texting while driving. Type fast or hit the bus in front of you.

    Tablet screen glare

    Another option is to replace it with FPV Goggles.

    Some OT Plane stuff and Meta discussion

    Why can't one put a camera inside the cockpit of an R/C Fixed-wing and FPV it the same way we do it with quads? That would be cool, just like your actually inside the plane, flying it.

    Some OT Plane stuff and Meta discussion

    I was looking at a fixed-wing electric plane. They can be pricey but you can learn allot from them in terms of aerodynamics and flight control. They can be a good start towards taking flight training and actually piloting an aircraft from inside it. However, one would ask why some aircraft...

    Clean up the General Discussion Topic?

    Like there are over 4,000 entries on this discussion. Since I don't see a way to search out specific entries, can the elder one be either archived to a separate file or just plain removed? It's kind of hard 'paging' though all these entries and I know I don't have the time to do that. It's just...

    Some OT Plane stuff and Meta discussion

    Quadcopters are adaptations of other R/C flying devices. Helicopters and R/C nitro and electric planes actually precede quadcopters. When I was a kid it was U-Fly Planes (strings attached) running with nitro motors, then R/C came into being with a whole new way of flying model aircraft. Quads...

    have you heard the tale of craig's mom's bush?

    OK, but still irrelevant. Just because it mentioned something about drones doesn't qualify it as a topic that supports the notion of this forum. Since I never watched the animated TV program, I dis-qualify myself as being able to interpret whether or not it was funny. To me it made no sense.

    have you heard the tale of craig's mom's bush?

    Funny? I must have missed something in the funny department, cause I ain't laughin'. Sorry...

    Newbie intro

    Yes, welcome and don't feel bad about not knowing much. It's the acronyms that throw me and the tech talk that messes me up. All I am interested in is flying my quad and eventually figure out what these 'experts' are talking about. I've been on this forum for several months and still feel like a...

    WTF Happened Here With My DJI Phantom 3

    Dear WLDOR, I could give him or her an exciting video game, not what you imagined, I imagine. Unnecessary & distasteful is an unjust assumption, since I never indicated what the 'something' was I might give him or her. You assumed something else and that was unnecessary.
