    Lipo Battery Safety... Should I quit the hobby before even getting started

    I'm also overly paranoid. It looks like you're already using a quality charger, which is important. Aside from that, here's what I do: 1. Always get rid of any battery that has visible damage and/or becomes puffed up. I take mine to a battery shop and they recycle them for me. 2. I charge...

    Range

    Phantom 4 or Mavic are under $1k and have a max tx distance in the miles. I believe 3 and 8 miles respectively.

    The forum is back online!

    I think that is only affecting Windows and we don't run wine on our Linux servers, so I don't think that was the issue. The hosting company is typically pretty honest about issues, so I believe that their hypervisor simply got hosed. It is possible that it was due to issues with maintenance or...

    Interesting Drone...on sale at WOOT...EHANG GVRS2 Ghostdrone 2.0 VR iOS & Android Models

    I'm no aerospace engineer, but I've always seen people ask why quadrotors weren't used on manned copters and the conclusion seems to typically be that one rotor makes more sense at that scale. If manned quads take off, the skies would look pretty cool! It could be safer too. A couple years...
