Nice! Are you using the stock battery still? There's a blog post I saw where a guy tried different batteries and said the stock battery actually got him the longest flight times, even with a camera mounted. I heard something similar for the inductrix from a guy who works for Venom Power. He...

These are great for FPV practice! They really get you comfortable with staying calm as video starts to cut out and things like that. Also after training your instincts to tell your fingers where to move the sticks in various line of sight situations, FPV takes some getting used to. I thought...

Beautiful video! I didn't realize that tract homes could be so intriguing.

Welcome! It sounds like you have a lot of RC experience. It will be nice to have you around the forum! =)

Good thinking. I use a magnifying glass and it always gets in the way.

I haven't had either, but I just soldered motors to the e010 board, which has very tiny pins. I'm not the best at soldering and I was successful in removing the old motor wires and soldering on all 8 new motors wires... and then having to switch two of them because for some reason one of the...

I don't. Assuming you're looking for something that runs dsmx? There is the beebrain. Everyone swears by it, but it's $49.99. https://newbeedrone.com/products/the-beebrain-v-1-cleanflight-betaflight-compatible-flight-control-for-the-beeductrix-inductrix-quad?variant=26456227846 eachine...

Nice! That will make a good Christmas gift for some people this year.

Lithium Polymer batteries are very light in relation to their power capacities (compared to other battery types). They also allow for much higher discharge rates. The number one thing though, is the power to weight ratio. For any RC model that flies, this is very important. On the down side...

I know - if you've had other commercial quads that had issues, you can appreciate that they recalled it. I'm sure a lot of people are pretty disappointed though. Sucks when you can't fly! Also, they're giving refunds until they resume shipping them again. I'm sure that's going to hurt them...

That's a funny looking little quad! Are you going to fly with that toy tx that comes with it? This fits in a JR module bay and supports some MJX stuff so you can fly with your hobby grade tx: https://github.com/goebish/nrf24_multipro I'm not sure if that will support that model exactly, but...

As some may know, one thing I've been into quite a bit lately (like everyone else) is the tiny whoop / micro / indoor quad craze. Things have already blown up and I assume with winter coming up, this will be an even more developed area of the hobby, so I went ahead and created a new area of the...

Hahaha. Every time I drop my toast - face down. I thought that was just my luck.

We get requests from vendors from time to time to give them a section of the forum to help their customers and post coupons, new products, giveaways, etc.. We had one before, but it didn't get a lot of activity. Now that the forum is busier than it used to be, we figured we'd give it another...

These guys asked for permission to post this (before posting), so I approved it. It's not spam =)

I always figured that is what "general discussion" is for, but I guess it makes sense that general discussion is about quads and off topic should be everything else. Good input. I'll make the change.

This was requested a while back and dropped to the bottom of my to-do list before I could remember to do it. This will be a place for discussions about other RC stuff, since a lot of members are probably not just into quads.

People have been asking for this topic for a while. I hadn't added it because I had a lot of other topics to try to fit in and I didn't want to clutter things too much. I feel like we have enough members now though where this will get a good amount of posts. Anyway, I'll start: My name is...

Conclusion All in all, it was a great experience and I'm looking forward to going back next year. The only complaint I really have is that a couple of years ago, "drone" was a bad word and I still don't feel right calling a multirotor or quadcopter or UAV or UAS - a "drone". But at this...
