    Overlapping Props

    As long as the balance is the same and the motors are all in the same place it does not matter how you get them there. So a U shaped frame, an X frame or an H frame will be treated the same. I agree 100% that generally having each motor the same distance is optimal for stability and...

    Overlapping Props

    As far as stabilization goes the FCB does not care where on the quad it is relative to the motors as long as the motors are where they should be relative to each other. The flight controller should be mounted on the COG when using auto level as it has a slight effect on I values. Appendix F...

    Video Editing Software

    On Linux I use either Openshot or for big projects I use Cinelerra video editor. Or if you use Windows I can suggest AVS video editor, it is free trial but VERY easy to crack and it works great.... not that I would be involved in, or condone such terrorist-communist like activities as pirating...

    Drone Defender rifle is a quadcopter's worst enemy - TrustedReviews

    This will most likely never reach the general public, and for law enforcement this design in impractical, it will only work if your fail-safe is to land, otherwise it will RTH, drop like a rock, or what ever else the fail-safe is set to do.

    Overlapping Props

    It would make stabilization a lot harder for the FC, but it is possible. Probably can't get 3 blade props.

    U.S. Will Require Drones to Be Registered

    Helicopters are a lot more at risk than planes as they fly lower and are more vulnerable to damage. You have a better chance that half the passengers in a 747 be struck by lightening after they get off than a quadcopter bringing one down. As far as the laws; we already have laws that if...

    HELP! SOS my quad will not arm!

    Actually 1.8 has more than 1.9 (his updates are not always serial, but either is good) @Di Immortales Can you give us a short video of your procedures in trying to arm it?

    Syma X5C - more fun to be had?

    Some batteries can develop a steeper voltage drop off, more likely with lower mAh batteries as you are drawing a higher amperage off the total percentage.

    Newbie, fast learner. How does flying quads compare to RC helicopters?

    Not yet, height yes, but you'd probably not reach it with a quad, and planes have been doing it for a while now hahaha.

    Newbie, fast learner. How does flying quads compare to RC helicopters?

    25 miles? You might better to do a plane, at range they have a lot better battery life and if you have a problem they are a lot less likely to go down 20 miles from you in a forest that you don't recognize hahaha. What ever you decide to do, it is possible with an anteana tracker system...

    X5C-1 Modes

    Hahaha I think they called it mode 1 so people would know it was default, but in the RC world that is mode 2, and what most people use xD

    X5C-1 Modes

    xD Syma made a wrong move there xD.

    Newbie, fast learner. How does flying quads compare to RC helicopters?

    If you have flow RC helicopters quads will be a piece of cake. There may be a bit more maintenance, but nothing too bad. @Mike H. and @Thomas in Niagara can really give you some good suggestions on a great trainer. I'd suggest the Syma x5C if you plan on getting into bigger quads, as it...

    Preflight checklist

    Hahaha great list. I have a bad habit of forgetting batteries, cables, and antennas hahaha. Haha, I ALWAYS do that, I'll have a broken prop and find I only have CW when I need CCW xD.

    Jello Help

    Worse than Emax? I'd suggest you don't have two of those in a row hahah That way if/when one(or two) fails then you still have a chance at bringing your hex down. Next time you buy you are probably going to want to get some better motors hahaha.

    3D Printed Quadcopter Props - Hackaday

    I'd like to see this, but using some type of weed-eater sting hahahaha. Would be pretty cool not waiting on shipping for props, and REALLY fun to play with the design for cheap.
