    Where to resume in this hobby?

    I have a eachine falcon 250 and the last crash I had some things break, but this eachine has proprietary parts I got frustrated and ended up quitting because they stopped selling the parts I needed. Problem is that it seems that the quad and parts for it are discontinued and I can't seem to...

    Giving the hobby another try, where to resume?

    I have a eachine falcon 250 and the last crash that made me rage quit I lost a motor and a ESC. Problem is that it seems that quad and parts for it are discontinued and I can't seem to find parts for it anywhere! Should I try to build a new zmr 250 from scratch or what would you recommend...

    this hobby gets expensive quick!

    Yeah exactly, looking at all my hobbies, dollar per hour this is without a doubt the most expensive. Like I play final fantasy 14 and have to pay 13$ a month, but I get countless hours of fun. With quads its like each minute is 10$

    this hobby gets expensive quick!

    i remember when i first saw the falcon for 200$ i thought that would be all i need....but the cost of the quad is just the tip of the ice berg!

    right front motor beeping....

    i crashed this morning while taking off (got too cocky and tried to take off from under a bench) and now my right front motor isn't working. Like i'll give the quad power and all the other 3 motors beep normally, but the right front one just twitches back and forth and goes beep beep beep beep...

    is going from a 700tvl camera to 1000 tvl a noticeable upgrade?

    Think I'll get a 1000tvl ccd camera and put a 6mm lens on it :) I want the picture to be as crisp, nice, and detailed as possible. Especially if/when I upgrade my goggles to some fatshark.

    is going from a 700tvl camera to 1000 tvl a noticeable upgrade?

    by downlink do you mean the VTX or the reciver in my goggles? i got the rc 832 receiver, i think it should be good enough. In general is CCD better than my CMOS camera?

    can you charge lipos at less than 1C?

    so i got a 50 W charger, and if I charge 3 1500mah batteries, that's 1.5 amps * 3 = 4.5 amps but then 4.5 amps * 12.6v for each lipo is 56.7 watts which is more than my 50watt charger. So if I wanted to charge 3 lipos on a parallel board, could I charge them at like 3.5 amps?

    how dangerous is it to fly over water?

    Yeah I've seen that video - I'm a huge fan of corrosion X! It would be cool if i crashed in the water and was able to just fly back up again! otherwise trying to get a boat and fishing the quad out may be a problem! I'll just stay a good height up and not crash!

    how dangerous is it to fly over water?

    i live in MN and the hills and lakes here are just too gorgeous to not FPV over!! I guess the obvious risk is crashing in the water and losing your quad....but the way i see it: when you are flying over water, there aren't any trees or anything you can really hit, so as long as you keep a good...

    this may be one of the best cheap lipo chargers!

    edit: nvm i dont think its very good, the storage charge doesn't seem to be working properly. still best to just get the genuine skyrc imax b6 ac v2.

    Things are changing fast...

    What I'd really like to see is a replacement for Lipo's. Quadcopter tech has grown quite a lot in the last couple years, but the batteries are holding us back. Lipos are ancient as hell, been around since the dawn of the RC hobby. If we could getting something new that gave more power with a...

    the hardest part of this hobby is waiting for parts

    My tracking updated today. Landed in and left Chicago today. Looks like it will come Tuesday, which will be 14 business instead of 12, not bad considering I thought I would be waiting over a month! Excited to fly again, it's been so long!!!! I just want to tear up the sky and fly so high that...

    Why nobody is jumping on this

    hehe, did you buy it OP? or did somebody else snipe it? Though i personally would avoid anything sold "as is" or "untested" because a lot of times sellers on ebay know it's broken/doesn't work and they say "untested/as is" so you can't file a dispute.... lot of scummy people out there!
