Yeah.. I'm not going to pay a dime to AMA. Or any other so called club. I am looking for people in the area who want to get together and fly. This is so stupid. Why would I make a post on here for someone to tell me to go on the ama website when I can go on the AMA website if that's what I...

I'm looking to meet up with other pilots in my area to fly with. Hoping I can find a few people we can start flight days in good flying spots. Maybe build a club out of it. At the very least, just fun flying with others. In the northern NJ area. let me know.

I have a 7" long range quad that I built a while back. Haven't got to fly it much. Furthest I have gone right now is about a mile. Anyway I flew around my property today. Basically low and close. Let me tell you this thing is so smooth. I could fly it though such tight spaces with ease. MAN...

you know... There is another way.. You could get a bluetooth module and wire it on a uart.. however you need access via usb to set it up.. So you could solder some wires to connect the usb.. then you could set BT up... there are other options as well utilizing the method.. But as for my self...

Its SMT. Gonna be difficult. especially if you don't have a hot air gun. If you do not have hot air... it may be easier to solder some leads from the board to the usb. It will still be hard, but easier than trying to solder a surface mount part with just an iron. You may also want to consider...

if all else fails you can always reflash and start over... But as for the throttle blip.. sounds like the fc trying compensate. Look for loose parts making vibrations and as well make sure you calibrate you accelerometer on a level surface.

Chinese long range drone kit??? By Chinese do you mean cheap?? If your okay with assembling, why not just buy the parts. Can build a much better drone and for less than 800 I am sure.I think my 7" rig just the drone it's self I probably spent $300 - $400. That's including the r9m module and...

On the heli in the OP.. Isnt that like every heli crash? They break when you sneeze in the other room...

I don't have any camera drones, but I'd probably go DJI if I were gonna buy one and not build one...

I have fatshark attitude v5's I love them. I don't need glasses, but if I did, I'd get diopters so I didn't have to wear the glasses. I also have a tiny hawk S. I love it. It's so bad A$$. I actually fly it a lot outside over my bigger quads because it's less to carry around. I can keep it...

Well, the only way to know for sure is to try it. You may set it up and not even notice the latency. But if you do and its too much, if you don't want to deal with it, your going to be practicing your soldering. I have the R9 system, and I see no need to swtich.

The first thing you should always to is get a better antenna. A pair of Fatshark attitude goggles, it will come with decent antenna's but their are still better out there.

It's too late now, but you should always do a diff in cli and copy paste that into a txt file. When you go into cli and type diff, that's everything that isn't a stock BF setting for that FC. So anything setup for a port etc, will show up in that. Then after you update, copy paste it from the...

Like Waffle said, a fully charged cell should be at 4.2 volts. you have 3 of those, so full charge on the pack should be about 12.6. So in order to know the voltage drop you need to be able to see the voltage you are using. There are a few ways to do this. One is if you have an OSD which...

The JJRC X5 Epic is a camera drone. It's not really the sort of drone your really going to get much out of. Your not going to be able to use the DJI air unit, or different VTX or even a different antenna. The antenna is likely soldered in place. It also uses wifi. It doesn't have a VTX. it has...
