    Hahaha. Every time I drop my toast - face down. I thought that was just my luck.

    Vendor Section - customer service, deals, giveaways, new products, etc.

    We get requests from vendors from time to time to give them a section of the forum to help their customers and post coupons, new products, giveaways, etc.. We had one before, but it didn't get a lot of activity. Now that the forum is busier than it used to be, we figured we'd give it another...

    These guys asked for permission to post this (before posting), so I approved it. It's not spam =)

    Off Topic Section

    This was requested a while back and dropped to the bottom of my to-do list before I could remember to do it. This will be a place for discussions about other RC stuff, since a lot of members are probably not just into quads.

    Interdrone 2016 Recap

    Conclusion All in all, it was a great experience and I'm looking forward to going back next year. The only complaint I really have is that a couple of years ago, "drone" was a bad word and I still don't feel right calling a multirotor or quadcopter or UAV or UAS - a "drone". But at this...

    Interdrone 2016 Recap

    The week before last, I attended the second annual Interdrone conference at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel. Overall, it was a great experience and I met a lot of cool people in the industry. It's only in its second year, but Interdrone seems to be quickly establishing itself as the go-to UAS/UAV...

    Indutrux qx??

    Assuming you're talking about the small inductrix and not the 200. I'm running the following setup and it's working great for FPV. Flight times are 4-6 minutes with easy flying and still at least a few minutes with aggressive flying. stock frame, props, board, etc. with: 65Drones 6x15mm...

    Great Info About US FAA Regulations for Multirotors

    Might be worth moving this caveat to the top or editing the first post to mention this at the top. I didn't want to move your post and confuse you though.
