OK, so I've been flying for 18 months now, got things under control, for example my weekly order of spare parts from RDQ is now now every 3 months. My uncle called me and wanted to get started in drones. After a great deal of discussion and many, many warnings about how terrible an idea it...

So my local wal-mart has 2 remaining phantom 3 standards for 399.00 I'm very tempted to get one. I've been flying my Hubsan H501s advanced now for a few weeks and I've decided more then anything I want good stable video. The fixed view on the hubsan is getting really annoying. Anything I...

This is an area I'm also exploring, as far as I can tell the video is 5.8ghz which is the standard for goggles so it'll work, but apparently range sucks with the with cheap goggles. There must be a reason why people use 300 dollar goggles with add on receivers. The screen on the transmitter is...

In my limited experience the Hubsan 501s is hard to beat. Can be had for 200 on amazon. I love mine, and have flown in now about 7 times without incident. I broke my first cheap drone twice in two days.

Probably a dumb question but the radio has video out socket, could the Quanum V2s just be plugged to that?

So I've been enjoying flying this quad, but I'm not digging the tiny little screen on the radio. I was hoping to get a head start learning to fly FPV. So when I'm at altitude it's difficult to make out enough details to orient myself, and when I'm closer to the ground I'm worried I'll miss...

I flew my hubsan 501s about a KM out sitting the in the car, not a great signal, but not bad.

@stony99 I followed your advice and went through the procedures without propellers for the Hubsan. 3 flights now, second flight out to 1.2KM! love this quad. It's so much more stable then the promark so much easier to fly. My Dad was successful in getting the syma out of the tree, he...

So I've been watching videos of drones and trying to decide what direction I want to go. I obviously need to focus on not breaking or getting my Syma drone stuck in a tree, but I'm thinking about the future. I've watched the UAVvutures 99$ build and other start up guides. So the coolest...

Well the syma drone is in a tree. Yesterday flew it around a parking lot near my house and felt like I was getting a hang of it. Charged up the battery and went out for another flight near the end of the day. Was doing slow circles and gaining altitude and before i knew it I was probably 150...

Got the Syma drone on Friday and it's great, I've flown in around the house and a few times outside. Got almost 10 minutes of flying with guards, camera, and skids on while recording video the entire time. No major crashes yet but lots of banging it into stuff with zero trouble. Orientation...

Thanks so much, that is exactly what I wanted to know, I need something cheap and tough to learn with. I just ordered the X5C-1 from amazon and will get it Saturday!

Hello, so I've wanted a quadcopter/drone/UAV for years but had avoided them for a couple reasons. I get obsessed with techy things easily and didn't want to become a addict, and I also was under the impression the costs were outrageous. From around 2002-2008 I was racing RC cars, mostly...
