    Another newbie after advice

    I bought a Quanum Venture BNF a few months ago and it's quite a lot of bang for the buck. I have only flown it a few times but I really like the stability and the camera is much better than I expected. I like that larger quads are easier to fly as well. For a FPV starter consider this...

    Suggestions for parts?

    Welcome to the forum! Here is a list of my favorite brands for your V2.0. These products are very good quality and will keep your quad and camera equipment safe. If you crash it won't be from parts failure. For the motors and ESC's I'm going to link you to the manufacturers sight because the...

    What's the best drone to start flying with

    Welcome to the forum, chillcat345! You made a good choice on the Dromida. They are very durable, just a bit more than most new fliers want to spend. Good example of you get what you pay for, though.:)

    450 frame build - advice

    I can't believe that Emax makes the motors for DJI. I have a friend that used Emax motors and DYS ESC's and had horrible luck. He replaced 3 failed ESC's and 2 motors before he had 6 hours flying. When the second motor failed (magnets came loose) he bought T-Motor ESC's and motors and has about...

    suitcase deltarotor launches for production and sales.

    I agree. It does look better that way. Probably feels more agile. Have you considered slightly longer arms. You have literally half your prop over the body. Hard to get maximum lift when it's pushing that much air down on that big a surface area. Just sayin'.......:rolleyes:

    New...to be delivered...or not? Syma X8W

    China is a mess. Their GDP is down 30% for the quarter! I do hope that Gearbest does the right thing by you. Another option is to remove the motor plate and apply a judicious amount of CA. After it dries put a tiny, tiny bit of thread locker on the screws and tighten them just enough to make...

    Syma X5C-1 Leds

    You have to change around the LED's, not just the lenses. It's not difficult but I figure if I have to take it apart anyway for the motors, which should be soon, I'll just wait and swap the LED's then. Less chance for me to lose(more) screws..........;)

    suitcase deltarotor launches for production and sales.

    I just thought the handle was a unique look. The only real purpose it probably served was crash protection. I was really just teasing you. You stated you have about a grand invested in quads right now. Considering you have 4 or 5 now that's not bad. Most of the members, particularly the...

    Syma X5C-1 Leds

    I'm with you Gramps. That's always seemed backwards to me as well. It seems to be standard on most RTF's for some reason. Every RTF I,or friends, own has red lights in front. Including the X5c-1. I will swap them when I need to replace the motors. On my builds I always put red lights or red...

    What's the best drone to start flying with

    Maybe he's right. They already have a short life so my thought is messing around with break in is just taking away from flying!! The motors and spare parts are so cheap it can't be worth the effort. Go fly and enjoy it!:D

    What's the best drone to start flying with

    Welcome aboard! They really don't need any run in but hovering is the first step in learning to fly. You probably oughta move any breakables outta the flight path. Have fun!!

    For those having stability issues with Syma X8 series

    I guess you can return it and get another or, if you got it from China and it's otherwise working, put a piece of tape over the bars and enjoy! Haha!!

    For those having stability issues with Syma X8 series

    I'm beginning to think that Syma does this stuff just to keep us all talking about their products! Cheap advertising. My X5c1 has never given me a low voltage warning. It just stops flying when the battery voltage drops to where the alarm should signal. Now I time my flights and stop a minute or...

    suitcase deltarotor launches for production and sales.

    I miss the handle! Haha! Maybe a RTF version with better quality parts and a fancy finish marketed as "The Boardroom Flyer". You could even monogram it with the exec's initials. Make a nice display stand . Maybe with a built in charger! You could do wood inlays on the Tx! "Custom made for...
