    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!

    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!

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...

    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?

    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.

Makes zero sense no matter how much i read about it!!! do they sell smething that is like a PDB and FC in 1 thing? like if i could buy something that is a...

    how to make my eachine falcon 250 more zippy like in these kinds of videos?

    for example like this video I notice lot of times in videos people are able to do flips and turns really fast, like instant zip zip zip but on my falcon when i try to do that stuff i feel it turns very slowly, would mine do that too if i got a 4s battery instead of 3s? or do i need to get...

    instead of heat shrink, can i just wrap an arm with electrical tape?

    need to replace one of my motors, when i resolder the motor to the ESC, is it ok if i just wrap it with electrical tape instead of using heat shrink? i dont have a heat gun and i never used heatshrink before and feel if its ok i would rather just wrap it with black electrical tape.

    im currently using the stock mushroom antenna on my falcon 250 and the stock wifi router type antenna on my rc832 receiver, thinking of getting some rp-sma clover antennas (thats what i need for both) - would it be a noticeable upgrade though? right now i notice static if i go behind a tree or...
