    Just an FYI, I have been flying for a year now ...

    and I finally broke down and bought my first real RTF drone. Some of you thought I would do this a little sooner, but the building bug was still in me and I just can't let it go. Eight (8) built and flying drones later, I jumped in to the RTF market and bought a hell of a drone! I am now the...

    Cell phone control question

    I was wondering if it's possible for someone to take control of your drone by using a cell phone while your flying it with your cell phone? I don't use a cell phone on my drone, but I know people do. I know there are a ton of apps for this, so can it be done? Have you ever heard of it happening?

    V686G Transmitter "Fix"?

    Does anyone know if I can remove the annoying beeping thingy in the transmitter and replace it with a nice quiet LED? It comes on and stays on during the entire time it's in "headless" mode. I don't know the transmitter model numbers, but it's used with several JJRC, Wltoys and other 250mm...
