The carbon content was my guess as well. Shocking video!! ( sorry, I couldn't resist.)

I just discovered something new, to me anyway. I was balancing some carbon fiber/ nylon hybrid props and I noticed that when I moved a microfiber cloth I had near the balancer the prop moved. When I brought my hand near the prop it followed the up and down movement of my hand. Apparently after...

will do

That looks easy enough! I would never have thought of doing it that way. Thanks holtneil!!

Hi all! I have a question about balancing carbon fiber props. Because they are so hard, I can't imagine that trying to sand them would work. Obviously there is a way, I just don't know what it is. I'd appreciate some expert advice. Thanks

"Damn the torpedoes. Full speed ahead"!! HaHa! I just finished taking mine apart. I'm gonna sleep on it before I start again. Your frame gave me a couple ideas. I may never fly....... sigh

That is a cool frame!! I have been following your posts for a few weeks now. Being a newbie I have been trying to absorb as much as I can. You have a unique approach to this hobby. The problem is after seeing your frame project I am dissatisfied with mine. I am going to take mine apart (again)...

I have seen many posts about blue screen. I believe the equipment I have purchased does not go BLUE SCREEN. I don't see myself going beyond LOS. Certainly not in the beginning. I also have GPS with return to home capability. Hopefully that will help. I already have the "ping pong" antenna's...

Ahhh.....I hadn't considered the directionality. Once again you have saved me from myself! I can't seem to stop trying to reinvent the wheel. I'm sure I'll do it again and you'll be called on to bail me out. Thanks, and have a good day!

One more question. Is there any harm in mounting the FPV tx in the very back, sandwiched between the upper and lower frame, with the antenna sticking straight out the back? The frame is about a foot long. This would provide the maximum seperation and would probably look kinda cool.

Hi. The FPV is 5.8ghz. It is the one you recommended to me. While I was waiting for your reply I decided to change the layout of my quad and have already disassembled it. I have way too much time on my hands..........LOL. Thanks again for the advice. I have a pretty clear idea of what to do now...

Thanks holtneil. I have a spyder style frame. No folding legs. There is quite a bit of real estate to use. I do know enough to mount the FCB on the CG. I guess my question was about avoiding RF interference from the proximity to other antennas/components. From your explanation it doesn't seem...

worrying.... sorry

Hi all! The more I read the more questions I seem to have. What is the optimal location for the flight rx antenna? What is the best location for the FPV tx antenna? What about in relation to the GPS? What about interference from other components ( FCB, PDB etc. )? I don't know how big a deal the...

I'm with roadkill. Poorer but happy! I really need the weather to break here in VA. I keep changing my quad and spending more on tweaking it trying to make it better. I just need to fly it or I'll end up broke! I'm having so much fun building that flying is just gonna be the icing on the cake...

Anytime. I'm off all week and I don't work on weekends......... LOL

I paid $30 with the upgrades and shipping. Does $24 including shipping ( US mainland ) sound fair to you? Or........?

I also have some other odds and ends you may be interested in. Extra f450 arms. The latest version KK fcb flashed w/all current updates and a buzzer etc etc etc. All of it is new. Let me know what you're after. I may have extra's.

Hey! It's hdtallrider. I have a brand new, 5 day old, never used RadioLink T6EHP-E 6 channel tx&rx. Also works with Futaba rx's. I will sell it for $55.00 including shipping in the cont.US. All I have done was open it to look at it. I can take PayPal so no worries.

Thanks! I knew I would find the info I needed from this group. A particular thanks to you, holtneil.
