what kind of voltage drop on the battery? maybe the battery is shot.

Designed and printed this 2.4ghz helical antenna for my long range 7" rig. So far works really good. But still have to do a really long range test. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4264317

Which would be easier to get muscle memory down first? LOS... have to adjust constantly for perspective on something that gets hard to tell which way it's facing the further it gets away? Or FPV in the first person, where all you have to worry about is wysiwyg straight up controls...

I don't agree with this statement. LOS is so different from FPV. I flew all sorts of small quads before getting my 210mm setup. Didn't help at all. Also, trying to fly LOS it is very very hard even as an experienced pilot to fly in acro LOS. Have to fly level especially just starting out...

Not sure how that relates to someone shooting down your drone. People get too wound up. A lot of the time it's someone freaking out about a drone "filming" them. But the bottom line it is not illegal to film anyone in public. The only issue you would have is if you asked someone to pose. Then...

I am glad they made it a fed offense to shoot down a drone. Idiots would feel too free to do stupid things. There have been too many incidence where people have shot down drones for no reason. . Case in point. I fly a racing kwad. I make it a point to be safe. I never fly in populated places...

Emailed the FAA again regarding flying within 5 miles of an airport... (I have had several emails with the FAA about these rules prior to the registration laws being thrown out. Post is on RCgroups.)Had a few back and fourths about it.. Some interesting things came of it. On the subject of...

This is interesting... Rosoc says the tower doesn't want you calling, and that they would not say okay... Hum... Humm.. this next one completely contradicts Rosco in every way.. This one is great.. It solves the issue of knuckle heads flying near an airport with a "camera drone" Where is...

I am sorry LoneRCRanger.. This guy went on a tangent with this.. Probably a lonely guy with nothing better to do in his life. He obviously hasn't read my posts entirely. He jumped in a thread, where my entire point was they threw out the illegal drone registration law.. The onlything we have...

Rosco.. Again.. Where are you getting your assumptions. Are you just stupid? That's it isn't it? Listen stupid, I said have to follow section 336. In section it says G airspace. The airspace around an airport varies depending upon the traffic.. You are not an air traffic controller. you are...

Here you go LoL.. This I think sums it all up.. HAHA.. this is quite possibly the best video I have found on the subject and for some reason I can't help but watch it over and over again.. I feel like I am on something WOOOOOO HOOOOOOO Come on, we gotta give this vid likes LOL......

Rosco11.. Here is the thing. Everything I have said, is in black and white, and up for all to see and read. You say and I quote, "It is the comment about flying anywhere near a tower". Can you please show me where I said anything about flying near a tower, because I can't for the life of me...

Your right. I apologize. I think he just hit a nerve. His response had no bearing on what I said... Sorry... I may have been a bit rash...

I think you are taking offense for no reason. I never said for everyone to go fly near an airport. Basically it, if I may be Blunt, It was $^%ing stupid to include "Toys", and drones so small they can't even fly 100 feet away from the transmitter. As of right now, "Toys" are no longer...

We still have to follow part 336. No higher than 400 feet. Not over people.. but there is nothing that says an airport tower can refuse to let you fly, only that you have to let them know.

News about the current FAA requirements to register your Drones...

Acro with air mode enabled? Straight acro mode cuts the throttle at the bottom of the stick and you relinquish control of the quad and it falls. Air mode maintains control and allows you throttle punch and control. Never used a sim... Refuse too..

Go ahead and laugh... I did.. I didn't put the footage of me hysterical. But up until I crashed into my head.. I was doing really good. First time flying and I was in Air Mode no level. I had expected to crash horribly... AND I was doing a bunch of flips... After the 1 flip I did a bunch.. but...

Well.. my self... I just go out and build a sick quad for the first time, and just crash it into my head the first time I fly it... But I did even better today.. and I didn't even crash into my head this time....

You know, if you have goggles and transmitter, for around $200 to $250 you can build a pretty bad ass quad.
