I don't know where you are, but Amazon US has four motors for$10.00. https://amazon.com/Yaohappy-Positive-Negative-Repair-Quadcopter/dp/B09XTVKP79/ref=sr_1_6?crid=3V8LZWXOAZDHR&keywords=quadcopter+motors+4pcs&qid=1676900611&sprefix=quadcopter+motors+4pcs%2Caps%2C111&sr=8-6

Perhaps I need to have more posts to be allowed to add a tiny video to the section called.... "Well did you fly today post videos here" I bought a tiny 3-inch drone and flew it inside of my house today. Just wanted to see what the procedures are to post it here.

In the next week or so, I'll have 3 inexpensive drones in my "squadron", ha Ha. I like to tinker and, if I take apart a $30 dollar drone and mess it up, not much is lost. I'm staying with the low-priced ones because I know myself all too well. After a year or so, I'll probably find another...

Terrible that another nearby drone can interfere with your drone. I wonder how you can check that out before a problem occurs. So far, I've only flown by myself. I bought the tiny Potensic A20 and have been flying it inside of my house. Fun, and no doubt good training for flying the real...

Thanks for the recommendations. I've already purchased an Eachine 520 s with GPS. So far, it has worked out well. Davidhk129 has one and put me on looking into it. I did see a small Potensic model for flying indoors on Amazon... after reading your post. I bought one, too. It will be raining...

Are the battery voltages and amp capacity the same for each model drone? If so, can you measure the one you have, and then contact the manufacturer of the one you want to buy...and ask for the dimensions ( and connectors) of their battery?

Beautiful. The silk filament was a very good choice!

p.s. To my knowledge, (other than Resin printers) most all FDM printers will NOT produce perfectly smooth parts. It is the nature of the beast that print lines will exist. You can lessen the lines by using small nozzles, but your print times will increase.

When one says Texas...we have to ask WHERE in Texas? It's 880 miles across using I-10. We have mountains, hills and more...just a little spread out. Ha Ha R.

Ha Ha I live in Flatsville (Houston, TX). The highest point within 50 miles might be 50 feet. Trees are a much bigger concern since I lost my first (non-GPS) drone to them a week or two ago. R

I didn't have an issue with the Location. My concern was that the Drone was set to rise far above the height I am used to flying. All is well. My particular Drone doesn't have a provision to change the "Return Home" height.

Ha Ha, I try to fly where there is NOTHING! in the way. Some of the videos that I watch show guys in the middle of a desert. They put the Drone up, and if it came down a half-mile away, they could walk to it. My limited choices here are soccer fields. They are often surrounded by tree lines...

Took her out and took my first pictures. I used the chip, as opposed to using my phone. Not the sharpest shots (which is no surprise), but a fun "accomplishment" for this old codger. Even the video was watchable??? Ha Ha . The picture is severely cropped. I have to learn to get the...

Thanks again. The immediate rise to 50 feet was only caused when I was in the "return to home" mode. What I actually did was ..."turn off the transmitter " to simulate an "Out of Range" mode. When I realized that I'd rather not wait for the mode to complete its actions, ( pretty windy) I...
