I'm going through a build myself. I initially had the Turnigy 9XR and the Orange transmitter and receiver on my list as well. After doing a bit more research, I decided to just go with the old Turnigy 9X. It's cheaper and includes the transmitter module and receiver. With some simple...

I hope to get into FPV soon and have been doing a little bit of initial research. What I see a lot of people doing is having one high-quality camera for their aerial photography, then another camera for the FPV flying. A couple things to keep in mind... You don't need a high quality FPV...

Well, I'm still a newb at this, but I would think that if you could keep it within a 1ft (about 30 cm) radius for more than a few seconds you'd be doing really good. And that would take a lot of practice. Unless I'm mistaken, the theoretical maximum accuracy of GPS is 2 meters. Maybe someone...

An accuracy of 0.01 mm is not realistic at all in a multi rotor aircraft. You should probably look into other concepts.

Question about the copter in that video... I see in the specs that he's using a Flyduino flight controller. Is that kind of flying possible with a Flip flight controller? My initial goal in getting into quads was to do aerial photography and FPV flying. And that's still the direction I'm...

Made it this far today with some 3/32" ply and 1/2" square dowels from Hobby Lobby. Followed the Anycopter Hub template from Flite Test. Now I just need some screws and nuts and motors and ESCs and a flight controller and propellers and a receiver and transmitter and batteries and...

Holy crap, that's an incredible video! I'm going to do some research on that ECKS frame...

Maybe this guy can give you some advice! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAFXepm8d2vAbRdFneLa7jw

Thanks! I have loctite (blue and red). Good catch on the lead wires. I could probably salvage some from an old PC, but I'll add that set to the order anyway. Instead of buying the ElectroHub, I'm leaning really close to making my own frame based on the "AnyCopter" style hub. Making it out...

I'm planning my first scratch (kit?) built quadcopter. I'm looking at the ElectroHub kits from Flite Test and RTFQuads. This is my first "real" RC craft (other than cheap toys that came with their own controller) so I fear I'm overlooking some little things that most of the experts sort of...

As a huge Trekker, I would LOVE to see this thing fly!! My only complaint is the use of the JJ-verse design instead of the classic. :)

I've been flying my Hubsan for about a month now and finally can confidently rotate it (pirouette) without much change in altitude. I think it helps to "pinch" the sticks between your thumb and forefinger instead of just using your thumbs at the top of the sticks.

I flew mine into a power line and it did the same thing. I left it unplugged for about 10 minutes and it started working normally again. If you did fry the board, you can get a replacement for about $20. I think the H107C uses the same board as the H107L which is what I have. With basic...

I only have the H107L, but it is a great little quad. I've been very rough on mine. The first floor of my office building has been gutted for an upcoming renovation so it is very similar to a parking garage. Concrete floors, concrete ceilings, concrete columns, exposed pipes. I've had many...

I can confirm that the Blade Nano QX is not compatible with the Hubsan X4 controller. However, the Proto-X is. Between several of us at work, we have all three. The Hubsan controller will bind to the Proto-X (which helps because the controller the Proto-X comes with is so tiny and hard to...

I didn't see an "Introduction" section, so I guess I'll use this one. I'm Heath and I'm new to quadcopters. Actually, I'm pretty new to the whole RC scene (except for a few cheap RC cars I had as a kid). I've always been interested in aviation. When I was a kid, I wanted an RC airplane so...
