    FAA Registration is no more!

    LOL! @ Jackson! I have my name, phone number and address on my drone right beside my registry number. That way the insurance agent knows who to sue.

    Hubsan X4 Pro High Edition Parachute ...

    The Hubsan x4 Pro 7000mAh battery isn't doing so well on my hex, it overheats and does a slow shutdown at 11.30 volts. I paired it with a 4000mAh battery and it does the same thing! It got some kind of thermal protection circuit on it. I'm wondering if it's really a 25c battery?

    FAA Registration is no more!

    I think people should do it anyway, never know, someone might find you through this program and return your lost drone!

    My F450 is now a F550!

    You may have better luck than I did, I got it to work with the TS5828 600w transmitter, but I had to go through every single channel until I got one to work well (on YouTube and other places will tell you the frequency is 5645, don't believe it!). You'll get a few channels that kinda work, but...

    Help!!! Shaft threads all clockwise!!!

    We have had record heat here for two days (NEPA) and I couldn't enjoy it because we also had 10-20 mph winds. Tomorrow will be cooler and calm winds!

    Can ESC's be mismatched?

    Can I have 30 amp ESC's mixed with a couple of 25/20 amp spread around unevenly? I have to replace two 30 amps, but they are becoming very hard to find. I'm hoping I can just stick two 25 or 20 amp ESC's on two of the arms that have the exact same motors on all 6 arms of my hexacopter. They are...

    Help!!! Shaft threads all clockwise!!!

    I just use the plastic filled nuts, I guessing those are "lock nuts"? They work really well in a crash since they will spin a tiny bit loose and saving the props. I actually found that out today. Rolled my hex over on take off during a pretty decent wind gust that caught me off guard. I have 3...

    My F450 is now a F550!

    I loved my little toy quad, so much so, I rebuilt it completely and it is now on a shelf in my home office/shop/catch all room being display proudly. I did use the monitor as my first experiment with FPV. Once again, that damned glare!

    My F450 is now a F550!

    It just dawned on me .... this is Quadcopter Forum .... I have two extra arms now, am I still allowed in here? I know, I'm a freak and shouldn't be in public ;);););)

    Found a great way to fund my Quad!

    Make darned sure you get some anti-glare stuff for the monitor screen! I made a decent ground station and I can't see anything in the daylight. Of course if your going with goggles that point was mute. I used a TS5828 600w transmitter and the RC832 receiver hooked to a car rearview camera...

    Found a great way to fund my Quad!

    I'm running two of those Hubsan 7000mAh batteries too! Got on eBay for $22.99 each and free shipping! The rest of the time I run 4-5 cheap clones action cams (only one on a brushless gimbal) with two of the 400mAh batteries and I can get 30-45 minutes flight times. When it's windy (10-15mph) it...

    Hubsan X4 Pro High Edition Parachute ...

    ... works on an F450 if you have any fabrication skills or an "L" bracket and a hose clamp. I'm going to be using it on the landing gear for my F550 hex. I bought it from a guy on eBay that is selling out all of his eBay hobby shop and getting out of the business. I also got a couple of factory...

    How High

    Naza-M V2 can be set to 2000 meters up and 2000 meters out, translates to: 6561.68 feet up and 6561.68 feet out I'm not going to tell you if my NAZA-M V2 can pick up a FS-i6s transmitter that high or far away. ;) **************** Update edit ****************** I made a mistake about the limits...

    My F450 is now a F550!

    BTW, I built a ground station too. Car rearview camera monitor, TS5828 transmitter to a Rc832 receiver and a 700 FPV camera on the front, all on my spare tripod with all 12v power from a lipo I don't trust to use in my F550. Works GREAT! Just can't see the screen in the daylight with the sun up...

    Flysky FS i6 Transmitter to 10 channel mod.....and AA battery eliminator!

    Just an FYI, you can buy an FS-i6s for $50.00 on eBay and it comes with a 10 channel receiver. It only takes 4 AA batteries. Did you see they have lipo batteries in AA size now? The USB charger is part of the battery. I did all that updating to 10 channels on my FS-i6 after buying the...
