Hey Jackson. I must have missed those bad reviews. I checked a bunch of reviews on line and no one mentioned any more problems than the DJI Phantom for example. We only seem to get posts asking for help solving problems for just about all brands so I didn't look to deeply.

Sounds like we are about the same age. I have a few vision issues that stop me from flying acrobatic quads so my preferences are toward more relaxed flight. I like fpv but have to use a monitor instead of goggles for example. What kind of flying interests you?

Ha! After talking about the Quanum Nova I just ordered one so I could have a larger copter to fly while I putz around with all my not quite completed builds:p. $209.25 RTF w/o battery/ charger and free shipping! Regarding build it yourself. It's a lot of fun and often more expensive than a RTF...

I haven't heard anything good or bad. I'm sure there is a bunch of youtube and other reviews out there. My pick would be one of the Quanum Nova itterations from Hobby King. They come really well equipped. Look up availability from the warehouse nearest you. Really good reviews and upgradable...

Welcome to the hobby( disease:p?)!! To begin, jump on Amazon ( because returns are so easy ) and look into some of the mini/nano offerings from Eachines, Blade, Dromida, Syma, HeliMax and Hubsan. The Hubsan H107 is just about everyones favorite. Learn on these because you will crash and these...

Hey. This thread got me curious. Check out the FPV racer options on the AMain hobbies.com site. They have some that look like they would be easily changeable and adjustable for fine tuning.

Good point. That's another reason to use ferrite barrels and you aren't creating a toroid when you do and they work better size for size and you could put all of your bec wires in just one if you wanted. Lotta "ands" there. LOL

I don't really have much of anything to send pictures of at this point. It's mostly just a bunch of un-assembled stuff. Plus mine will be mostly wood. I assume you want to do CF in a 220-250 size. I am not very familiar with the various FPV racing frames. Maybe GJH105775 can contact some of...

One of my projects is a compromise. I am making my arms 5 1/4" long. I am using 2306 2050kv motors. When using 5" or 6" props it should boogy pretty well. Not like a 250 racer ( I'll be closer to 310) but exciting enough for now. When I want to slow things down and get longer flight times I'll...

You should still try and keep separation of power wiring and esc's from Rx and Vtx as much as possible. Keep the dc voltage wires as short as possible and twist the bec wires. Try not to make loops of the wires. Sorry. I'm rambling. Ha Ha! Good luck tomorrow!!

Ha! If they aren't fed up with my really, really dumb questions then you are safe! Seriously, you will never find a more respectful and helpful group than on this forum. Period.

Clarification. My opening sentence referred to the esc picture in the RCTimer link

I may be wrong, but, doesn't wrappin' the bec/control lead tightly around a power wire cause, or at least add to, interference? Could you put the bec leads thru a single ferrite barrel ( to keep the weight down) ? I'm not sure that would cure the problem but for .50c and a few minutes time it...

Try www.sharprc.com they have a product called ArmSafe which is basically a external Deans plug with a flange. Also www.electrodynam.com has a number of external switches for models. Some with a charge port

Those guys crack me up!Good price. I wonder how durable it is. Personally, I have sworn off the cheap stuff. Too costly(and frustrating) in the long run. Sentinel, hopefully you can find some items there that will work for your project. Since it all has to be shipped in anyway you really don't...

Ha Ha!! I forgot about them! Never bought anything but their copy IS entertaining.......

I would think that 95% of the vendors on ebay would ship to you. The majority of quad products come from China anyway. Bangood, RCTimer etc. all say they ship worldwide. Set up an ebay and paypal account and go for it. I feel pretty confident they will ship to you. They ship everywhere else in...

Where do you live?

Look at the MWC Alien/Reptile frames. They use the 450 arms but the frame configuration gives you a 525 wheelbase and keeps it square. These are all over ebay, Amazon etc. Very cheap and light with a lot of real estate to mount stuff. You can use up to 13" props. I built one with FPV, GPS using...

I'm not sure you can use HK exclusively and achieve your goals of lift and efficiency. The MN3508 380kv T-Motor using T-Motor 20a, 600hz ESC's (no programming needed ) and swinging a RCTimer 16x5 CF prop can lift 4800g and is the 2nd most efficient motor out there ( the 1st is a budget breaker...
