i got the eachine falcon 250, which is supposed to be a clone of the zmr250, ive crashed quite a few times but so far its been pretty solid i think. i replaced the stock props with DAL 5045s and have not even bent a single prop since xD i broke one of the motor tilts on my second or third crash...

not sure how these hex drivers are supposed to work, but cant seeem to get enough torque to spin the screws and my hand gets sweaty and starts slipping, using my set of allen wrenches seems to work better tbh

just came home from harbor freigth and got the 16pc precision set xD it was kinda smelly, and it took me like 20 minutes to find somebody to help me find the set - but i got it :D

thanks a lot for that harbor freight link!! i have actually never been to one before, but i have heard whispers of them throughout the internet. turns out there is one like 10 minutes from my house that has that 16pc set for 5 bucks in stock right now! gonna go grab it today! i like it, its...

i was looking at a lot of those hex driver sets, but it seems like they tend to slip and not work good? is there a specific brand/model u guys know to be good? is this good? http://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-10-in-1-Metric-Hex-Key-Screwdriver-Set-48-22-2106/204221759 or maybe these...

is using thread lock a good idea? what if you break a motor and have to take it out? then you wont be able to unscrew it? i got this set from walmart today but for whatever weird reason, the m3 bit does not fit in the m3 screw. reminds me of my sex life

yeah unfortunately causalities are a cost of war... And it's not a USA vs muslim thing, what lot of people don't realize is that the number 1 victims of terrorists are actually other muslims. Before 9/11 got everyone riled up, schools in pakistan and india were being bombed on a regular basis...

thanks, looks like im gonna be grounded for a week or so though cus back when i broke my motor tilts i lost a few of those screws, so i used some screws from an old computer case that fit, but they just aren't holding cus they are phillips and keep coming off, so ordered a new falcon screw set...

just flew another pack, though this time i landed on my back cus i panicked when it was time to land..but not even a scratch on the dal props :D charging up to go again :D this next flight im only going to practice taking off and landing, cus im pretty good at flying from my simulator, but the...

just came back from a virtually flawless flight :D my first flight that was long and lasted an entire lipo pack, and ended right side up :D i had the voltage alarm set to 3.3 this time, and it got me home with 3.48ish volts per cell, but i noticed at the end when it started beeping the quad...

Just got me a big ol bag of dal props, going out for hopefully my best flight yet. At a red light now so thought I'd update y'all

i wouldn't be surprised if those 100$ antennas provided no noticeable difference. every hobby has diminishing returns at some point or another, where companies charge insanely high prices and use marketing tactics because they know they can get people to buy it and the people who spend the money...

right on thanks one thing i like about these days is that people are so absorbed in their computers and Internets that the parks stay relatively nice and open for quad pilots :D hoping my props come soon!!! where is that ups truck??? im gonna tear it up today and show the sky who's boss...

cool thanks for the recommendation! i notice they are .5 inches smaller, so by less agressive does that mean it will be a slower flight? will it also be a smoother flight? i see that the zmr250 can take up to 6 inch props, so bigger props = faster speed? will 5040 be significantly different...

btw has this forum been extremely buggy and laggy lately for anybody else too?

one thing ive done is put a strip of velcro long ways instead of across, so now the battery is secured horizontally by the velcro and vertically by the straps, so it's not going anywhere!! and i looped the battery cable around the rear strap to shorten it so there's no slack and it will fit...

lot of good life lessons in this thread, that you don't really hear about on a daily basis, but are extremely important! i like how it was mentioned that its best to look at things just scientifically, and not get super excited and then disappointed - a lot like eastern philosophies of living...

Yeah it's all good... got a few beers In me and feeling much more relaxed. I'm gonna try to live more care free, i feel really good right now, like i dont even care about anything, just chillin with my head leaned back and listneing to music... prolly cus the beer, but going to just try to stay...

damn how come i didnt see those props? :( requested to cancel my order but its too late now, coming tomrrow...hopefully they are ok, they say DAL on them, i think the seller just repackaged them - the reviews are good so hopefully they work out....tired of learning lessons.

what frustrates me the most is that 1 crash can cause future crashes, and really none of these crashes were from lack of flying skill, i hardly got to spend much time flying at all!! the first couple crashes was cus i didnt have battery secured good and those crashes cause my motor tilts to...
