Thanks holtneil. Mea Culpa.:rolleyes: Here in the UK we are restricted to LoS as well. It actually happened by accident due to me concentrating on the camera view rather than the fact I was passing from direct LoS, just behind a high cliff outcrop. I suppose subconsciously I was emulating our...

Howdy all. Joined the Forum originally hoping to build a DIY, but have chickened out for now to use a dji Mini 2 to get some flight experience. The Range is supposed to be approximately 6 miles. It is set to alternate between 2.4Ghz and 5.8Ghz to avoid Tx/Rx problems. My problem is that if a...

o_O Many thanks wafflejock for an extremely detailed reply. Unfortunately you rather lost me just after the word 'introduce' ! As an absolute thicko when it comes to radio, it's components and terminology , I can just about grasp frequency, modulation and harmonics but anything deeper...

Hi folks Total newbie to Quad flying but it seems the more I read, the more confused I get. I'm currently trying to modify/tweak a TBS Discovery for long flight photography, and would like decent range as well. Can anyone please tell me if TBS Crossfire is superior enough to ezUHF 433MHz R/c...

Been very lucky up to now, (entirely by fluke) and bought at least gear which turns out to have decent reviews. Modified DiY ATX PC PSU 12v output seems too low, though. (about 9 volts :eek:) . Unless I have a duff Budget Rolson Analogue Multimeter, of course, (which is quite possible). Not...

How about: http://www.banggood.com/Eachine-Racer-250-FPV-Drone-Built-in-5_8G-Transmitter-OSD-With-HD-Camera-BNF-Version-p-995366.html instead ? The arms are a little thicker than the other Eachine. (hopefully tougher) . with this camera setup: You'd be able to take your stable aerial footage...

Aha ! That's the ' USB dongle' I mentioned, which obviously has a Tip/Sleeve (ie Mono) Plug on the end. Curiously, some descriptions make it sound like you just buy a double ended lead. One for the Tx and the other plugging directly into your Soundcard microphone jack on your pc, with no...

Hi Guys Just a 'quickie' here. ;) Try as I might, I've been unable to verify exactly which kind of plug and cable to use on the above transmitter to use it to control a Flight-Sim. (Specifically: FPV Freerider) Mono Plug or Stereo Plug ??? (ie Tip and Sleeve or Tip, Ring and Sleeve ?) I...

The only gear I've bought to date: Turnigy 9x Tx & Rx (intending to do the FrSky XJT Module Mod for 'failsafe' and choice of antennas, with X4R-SB Receiver (for SBUS). Xaomi Yi Action HD Cam Foxeer H1177 FPV Cam (plastic case) and a few odds and sods of connectors (XT60 etc.) Have modified an...

Thanks for the info. Levenshulme originally then Stockport. At the moment the Land of Song, where men are Men, and sheep are afraid. Isn't it ? I'll look it up, in case I get the chance. :) I had toyed with the idea of a 3S 3000. 5200mAh. :confused: Is that 3S or 4 and what is your All Up...

'Huh? You going to be delivering pizzas with it?' Lol :D Y'know , looking at it with only one arm on; it would rather do for taking them out of the oven ! Think we may have met in another 'incarnation' ?(Quads for Quads). I'm 'Mancastrian'. Not knowing anything, I thought I'd better err...

Answer please anyone ? Dying to order Motors and get started, but don't want to order the wrong ones !!! P.S. Thinking I'm going to need at least 10" props to shift the beast, although the frame may take up to 14" but at the very limit !

Hi Guys After simply weeks of trawling the net, with brain getting absolutely full to bursting, with more acronyms than you see on Douglas Prom at T.T. week, I decided to have a go at building my own Quadcopter, with absolutely NO experience whatsoever. o_O Or if you prefer a more accurate...

Got a Xoaomi Yi and want to keep your Micro USB/HDMI Cover ? (or already lost it :( and just want to keep the crud out ? ) A cross-section (about 10mm) from an old Mountain Bike Inner Tube 26 x 1 3/4 will go round the cam. perfectly. :) Cut another one, for the lens side if you like. (to level...

Many thanks for the advice, but also the inspiration. (see.: It's all your fault ! :D) The reason I joined the Forum was specifically for help with component compatibility, and dialing everything in, when the time came. Hopefully previous practical (work) experience, ( plus a lot of care )...
