Not sure about what I had read somewhere now that you mentioned that, but the FAA certainly think it is illegal, though he misinterpreted/misquoted their own laws in stating their belief. https://youtu.be/ohkIMnImhE8?t=30m

The point is that even at peek speed in a flight the quad will do no more damage than the ever so present bird strikes. You really should see an F16 that has hit a bird hahaha (pretty messy). Whether you hit a quad or a pigeon the end result is the same. ^This was saved as a draft I forgot...

Without some impossibly efficient solar panels it would be impossible to get enough energy to run a quad, and the weight probably even out weighs the little it gives so that you would be better off without them. A solar plane is however possible as you can have a lot of surface and require...

If what is a rule breaker? o_O That is somewhat reckless as anyone who has a little experience knows, but makes you really wonder if RTF models such as that should have such a range hahaha, though if it gets lost it is the owner's wallet hahaha.

Agreed, but many people I have talked to outside of the hobby say they only hear of regular people doing bad things with quads, and the good they do hear are almost always government or professional pilots. So you can see why those outside the hobby are sided toward regulations due to their...

Never heard of it before now, looked it up and it looks pretty nice for small vibrations.

Hahaha, most idiots fly Phantoms, but most Phantom users are not idiots ;)

I don't yet feel so bad about the coming laws in the US now, but still.... Have you noticed that most idiots fly Phantoms? Perhaps it is because they don't do as much research and get as immersed in the community before building buying? Though the no fly zones being added to the GPS is...

What the crap hahahaha. Seen some that I suspected to be big, but never had a chance to see them to scale like that xD They are huge.

Hahaha, great video, also first person I've seen to think about using the tags feature hahaha.

Hahahaha, looks great.

Yeah, a normal sized multirotor is going to destroy the engine, but the point I was making is that this is common and that they are designed to lose motors. A 15 pound goose is not going to do more damage to it as when the bird impact it breaks parts that are just as hard as a multirotor and...

If you could save ~€50 up to add to your budget you could build a quad pretty reasonably, buying too cheap of parts makes it really easy to go from $250 to $500 after you replace a few things like motors, ESCs, and a frame . Just post a part list to the form before you click that buy button and...

If that is what you need to do to get in the air, then great, but remember to account from shipping and to get from the warehouse nearest toward you, and to buy everything at once (except maybe batteries).

Can you explain the problem a little better and include the relevant parts? Also the word "drone" is bad taboo around many hobbyist.

Never seen it, but it is a DC only charger, you'd need a power supply, or a battery to charge it with. They are meant for charging batteries in the field.

For a first build you could use a KK if you wanted to keep cost down, and the HKTR6a (I own one also) is a great transmitter for the price I have a better radio, but have never needed any more functions than this one while using the KK board. You can also use the simple hobbyking E3 charger...

I don't know of any reason you can't use the frame if you are gearing, but 180mm is a common hobby grade racing class, and designed for brushless.

The higher resistance is caused by Li2O forming in between the cathode and anode, over charging, over discharging, and exceeding your discharge rate, and just time are common ways that this happens, but it takes time do it by slightly overcharging. Did it go bad suddenly, or over time? 4.2 is...
