    Can’t can’t my husband to calibrate compass

    I was just out with my 501, kept getting a "Calibrate Horizontal Gyro" but it would go away and and the LED's were flashing the proper sequence so I'd fly it, flew ok but drifted and it had some control issues, I did the full re-calibrate as the guy in the video did, thing fly's great now...

    Can’t can’t my husband to calibrate compass

    bet it's a 501, this vid can help, I would do a complete re calibration of the sticks , gyro and compass, could be in risk of a flyaway when you hit the 'RTH switch. This vid is with the 901 Which controller, 901 or 906?

    New Drone!

    You might think twice about running outside with a loaded gun, I think that's called "Premeditated". Now if you went outside and every time you go outside you carry a loaded gun, then no it wouldn't be premeditated, it would be called paranoid,,,,,

    Rubber Bands Are Your Friend

    I guess that's as good of a title as any,,,,,,,,, The other day I was answering up on a thread about drone not always going where it should, then it turned into a hyjack off topic discussion between myself and another flyer about my Bugs 3,,,,,, Now given the Bugs 3 is a "hobby / toy" drone it...

    New Drone!

    Understanding all the work that's already gone into this project, for what purpose would this drone serve? Like fly itself around in your house by itself? Can't crash into anything, no trouble to get into, so where's the challenge to fly it? Like launch it and wait for the batteries to...

    Drone not always going where expected... newbie issues :)

    Appreciate your reply, just took the tx apart, no adjustments, also no trim for throttle like on other Alt hold Tx's, the Alt hold in the Bugs 3h is only a centering spring for the throttle stick, I can do the same thing with a rubber band around it, may even be what I do anyway. I put a bid in...

    Drone not always going where expected... newbie issues :)

    And a lower pitch should yield slower response, I might try to add a return spring or a set of centering springs to the throttle, I had the transmitter apart after my first flight to see if I might be able to put some kind of resistance in the throttle lever, I mean if I just bump it a bit it's...

    Drone not always going where expected... newbie issues :)

    Once you get a few more flight hours in, just take it easy for a while, figure out how the different modes react throttle control for me, in a bird without altitude hold, is a real bugger, my Bug3 is like a yo-yo, still working on it. I always take another quad with me when I take the Bugs out...

    MJX Bugs 3H ?

    Morning all, I was watching vid's for this Bugs with altitude hold, the vid's were a couple of years old but still it was a new Bugs 3H, Can't find any mention of it online, I'd like to get one, I have the Dracon Bus 3 and lots of batteries, but it's a bit much for me as that I'm fairly new to...

    Lipo Battery Internal Resistance for Different mAh Sizes

    Good morning, just to add some info on IR that I've experienced, I have 9 1S's 350 mAh to compare with, the 5 I've mentioned above and 4 new ones, the new ones arrived with high IR but when charged & used a few times the IR has dropped to an average of 40ohm's each, of the original 5 only one...

    Eachine lipo batteries issues

    Afternoon Emanuele , just to let you know, I ordered and received 4 lipos for my Holystone hs200 from Holystone, so far 1 out of the four is bad. It happens all the time,

    Amazing

    Oh yeah, a fun death trap, like teaching a teenager how to drive and not being able to reach the emergency brake,,,,,,,,

    Amazing

    Hmmm,,,,,,, what would be the purpose? I watched but didn't have the sound on, and the whole time I wondered just what the passenger would be doing in a "Fly Away"? Is there a "return to home button" in the cockpit? Is this the first step in drone taxi development? People with too much money are...

    Eachine lipo batteries issues

    On lipo's it seems that if there's an issue to start with they don't fix them selves, but me being how I am, I don't give up until it just doesn't respond, I mean what does it hurt to keep trying to charge them, just a few times even. And if they don't start to respond then I guess it 's just...

    First crash

    Wish I had a pic of the prop my cat's taste tested,,,,,,,,,, It still worked fine, no issues with it, just a bunch of fang dents. And Emanuele , think you're pretty lucky, flying weather and time,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    First crash

    Morning Emanuele , those are barely considered damaged, more cosmetic than an issue other wise. My cats left fang prints in my blades even before first flight, not an issue. Have you watched any of the Youtube video's on drone crashes?

    Now this is a quad!

    I honestly think there'd be too much air traffic for any practical application of airborne commuter service. Expense of landing area security, equipment safety certification, all the FAA requirements, As far as landing area's go, I can't find a parking space big enough for a corolla, let...
