Ok I will be first to admit I'm still really new at all this quad piloting stuff. But back when I build my first quad I was looking around for transmitter for a low cost. I settled on the FS-I6X. Now I understand it does have two way communication. And I've seen people using the new beta-flight...

yea well it evidently only has a 100m accuracy. and runs on a 2g network where I get very spotty service. So once again another drone lost. I swear I have become good enough at flying drones that this should be happening to me anymore . But all I takes is that one unforeseen moment and poof it's...

That's what it says. If you need it you can buy 10 min of air time for $3. All the other ones I looked at want a month service on 2g/3g service. Cheapest I found was $5 a month, which still is not bad. What sold me was the LED's installed in the one I linked. And the LED's can be remotely...

I have this Bug 3 that I would Like to Increase the range a bit. To give me better odds to not losing another bug to the woods. I live in a wooded area and only have 1/4 size of a football field to play in. Low to the ground. So I'm usually fling over the trees. And the worst problem I've had...

Well I lost the drone to the woods. It had some sort of wobbling effect going when I tried going forward. By the time I realized this I was already over the woods because of the wind mad it drift over the woods faster then I thought it would. Must have been higher winds about 40 ft above me. Oh...

I found the short . It is in my lighting wiring. So I guess I will take all that apart and fix that and go from there. Hopefully the short didn't ruin anything else. Looks like one of my lights is bad. for now I'm just gona disconnect ALL the lights until I can get some replacements. Still...

Not sure what you mean by BEC voltage might be dropping during punch out (brownouts). But you were correct about the 5 volts. I tested the 5v out put from the PDB and I read only 1.5 +/- .3 because it was jumping around. Does this mean My PDB is bad?. Because I still have the original one I...

Guys I really need your help. I just want a drone like the bug 3. I'm not into FPV, it makes me dizzy and I'm not into areal photography. All the information I can find on building DIY drones seems to focus on these two categories. I just like flying around at moderately descent speeds, above...

Oh I definitely want one of those power distribution regulator thingamajiggy I forgot what you call it been wanting one for a long time I even tried making one of an old PC power supply not as sophisticated are accurate is being able to dial up and down your current and voltages it will be...

I'm not a super expert on electronics but I did take the year in ITT tech electronic engineering and one thing I do remember from that was I was told that amps does not matter as long as you supply more amps then the object you're trying to power needs then you're good to go the only thing you...

Here are some more images of my first build especially like how I mounted the transmitter receiver antennas I got the landing gears off of an old bug 3 as this kid did not come with any type of landing gears and the exposed wiring on bottom from the LEDs need protection from being Scuffed up on...

Hi all, hope everyone is having a lovely day. Some might remember me from a month back when I was asking questions about building my first drone in the first drone thread. After lots of research and nearly banging my head against the computer more than one time I finally got everything working...

I didn't think about it until yesterday, but my dad is also into building drones. So I called him. I had a long conversation with him. After conferring with him I think I'm going to go with a smaller prop build with cheaper parts. Because as my Dad put it and me being new to this, I'm going to...

this is what I have so far https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/dl/invite/6w4TjSP the motors and props I'm getting from here https://www.getfpv.com/lumenier-zip-2407-1700kv-popo-pro-motor.html as I could not find them on Amazon. I don't want to ask THE stupid question, but Can you see if I...

thank you soooooo much. All my search inquiries showed nothing but stuff on racing fpv mini drones. I couldn't even figure out what kind of motors to start out with to even figure out what I needed to power those motors. You gave me a place to start. Thanks again for you suggestion.

I know this is a little late but just in case anyone else would like to know my thoughts on the Hubsan X4 h501s pro advance model. Advance only meaning the upgrade to the 906 transmitter. It works great for me in the ways that matter for me, which is just exploring the forest without having the...

First let me start by introducing myself. I'm Chris but you can call me BudMan of just Bud if you like. And I'm tring to build me my first DIY quad, because there just don't seem to be a ready to fly speedster I can zip though the skies and wow my neighbors that has all those safety net features...
