The various opinions that I got elsewhere seem to indicate going for the NI MH batteries for the transmitter. The next question then that comes up is what capacity?

I'm not quite as badly off as you are. I have some collapsed discs, fused vertebrae, and herniated discs. I can walk for a few hundred yards, so you could say that I've got a leg up on you ;) Gotta maintain my sense of humor... I do have limited strength and range of motion in my right arm...

It looks as if you have put some time and effort into designing this quadC. The one thing that everyone wants from these smaller quadCs is more flying time. 5-8 minutes isn't bad, but 8-12 minutes would be so much nicer :) Just thought I'd mention it. Looking down on it, does it balance...

Ah, yeah on the drone racing being less expensive, but then you threw away all of the savings when you moved in with your girlfriend ;) Best wishes to the 3 of you. :)

If one takes the time to watch the videos, in spite of the title page that some don't care for, then one will see the evidence that motor balancing does work. I can recall when the auto racers at the Indianapolis 500 criticized the European cars with their highly balanced engines, and guess who...

No, we're not going to take apart our motors and balance them internally, but we can still balance them to reduce vibration. Those of you who fly the "big quadCs" and take videos it is very important and helps to eliminate "jello". For those of us who fly the pea shooters it can add to our...

I am a believer in balancing propellers. F1 autos have had internally balanced engines for decades, long before the guys at the brickyard in Indianapolis figured it out that it helps. Granted we don't have too much left to balance on small quadcopters, but we can balance our propellers. 2...

Mmm...walleye!!! The Rolls Royce of fish for eating :) I haven't caught and eaten one in decades :( We get some excellent fishing in the Gulf, but our inland water fish don't compare in taste to those of the cold, northern waters.

I gather that this is where everyone introduces him/herself to the "group". I'm at the other end of the age spectrum from most that I've seen here. I started out with control line airplanes in the late 1950s. OMG, can't believe that it's been that long. I suffered through the early RC units...

Keep in mind that these wee beauties were designed to give their best performance with specific batteries. As soon as one steps up to a heavier battery it has to have some effect upon flight characteristics (which will vary depending upon the amount of added weight and the overall weight of the...

I need to buy some new AAA, 700 mAh, rechargeable batteries. I've pretty much narrowed down the choice to NI MH or LiFePo4. Both have better life spans than my old batteries which have given up the ghost. I am leaning toward the LiFePo4 batteries. They are to be used in the transmitter of an...

Interesting as I was given a "non-working" Hubsan X4 h107 today. A quick glance indicated a bad crash as 3 of the 4 legs had their shocks "popped", and 3 of the propellers have damaged ends. There is no battery so I'll need to order a couple tomorrow. Is there a preferred brand or supplier...
