    Choosing a Sim.... Need advice please.

    I just purchased a Tranais QX7 transmitter for my fpv drone I am building and I would like to get a good simulator so I can practice and just have a good time with. I've been doing some research and Velocidrone seems to look pretty good. Does anyone use this Sim or what do y'all use if you don't...

    Thanks Moz I appreciate your input! Man I just got my ESC's in the mail today and I was sure I ordered the wrong ones they are so small!!!!

    Next up.....FC,PDB+VTX(help please)

    Ya all I would really like is flying time and mAh. I just had to look up smart audio just to see what it is that's how green I am! LOL I was just looking at the Matek setup because the stack would connect with the flat wire and keep everything clean and I would have PDB,FC,OSD+VTX. Is that...

    So I am building the OXFPV Thug 230-H and I got a set of DLFPV 2205 2300kv motors along with some Hobbywing XRotor Micro BLHeli-S 2-4S 30A DShot600 Brushless ESC Support OneShot 125 42. Now I want to figure out what I want for the FC,PDB+VTX. I have been spending every spare moment I have...

    Ready to build my first one!!!

    Alright so I went with the DLFPV 2205 2300KV motors. Next I want to find a FC. What I am looking for in this build is middle of the road electronics. I don't want Chinese knockoffs but I don't need the high-end going to Nationals type stuff either. Seeing as I know nothing about quad electronics...

    Ready to build my first one!!!

    Just wondering..... Why a 2205 instead of a 2204 or 2206? Is it a happy medium? I like the reviews of the motors, everyone seems very happy with them and the price is right!

    Ready to build my first one!!!

    So I have been watching videos for a couple days and trying to do some research. I am going to start with looking for some motors and have a couple questions. OXFPV recommends 2204 or 2206 size motors 2300kv or a little higher. I am guessing that with this frame being a little bulkier I would...

    Ready to build my first one!!!

    I have always used Hobbywing motors and ESC's in all my ground based RC's with zero problems. Does anyone have any experience with their electronics for quads?

    Ready to build my first one!!!

    Mozquito1!!! Awesome idea! I have two old computer towers sitting in the shed! I will tear those apart and get me some good practice! Sometimes the easiest solutions are staring at us and we still don't see them tell someone points them out! On a side note my wife just texted me and told me my...

    Ready to build my first one!!!

    I'm cool with recycled milk containers...... It's my first one! That's why I went with it. So here are my first questions..... When I am looking for my electronics what brands should I be looking at? Like with my off road race rigs I ran either Tekin or Hobbywing. What should I be looking at for...

    Ready to build my first one!!!

    Yep but as I'm expecting to be crashing just as much as flying it being my first one im hoping it will hold up. All the reviews and videos I can find people really like it. I'm not looking to get into racing so much as the FPV aspect of it and some freestyle. I have the Bebop 2 FPV right now and...

    Ready to build my first one!!!

    So after flying my Bebop 2 for a while and getting a taste of FPV I want to build my first rig! I almost just went ahead and bought a RTF but I enjoy building boats, trucks and planes so I want to try my hand at building a FPV set up. I am pretty much clueless which just adds to the excitement...

    Searching For My First Hobby Grade!!!

    Well someone hooked me up and got me a Parrot Bebop 2 FPV for Christmas!!! Don't know that it was at the top of my list but I am very excited! This will leave me open to do more research and maybe build my first race/freestyle/sport drone instead of buying one rtf/bnf!

    Searching For My First Hobby Grade!!!

    My worry is that I watched a couple videos on that eachine wizard and they are spitting out numbers letters and components I can't even wrap my mind around. I am 48 years old and need to start with something I can fly and relate to so as to make the learning curve a little easier and progress...
