Oh and this too, I now know how high 400 feet is! He was flying the Mavic Pro all the way up there! I could still see it, that surprised me a little.

Everything. I'm just now looking around for the cheapest parts I can find for my first big quadcopter build. Slowly, but surely I'll get all the parts together by the Spring and the warmer months. I can't go out and buy all the parts at once or buy another RTF right now. The wife is watching how...

.... I bought a complete two piece body shell kit for my WLtoys V686G. It took a week and a half to get here from the next state over, I should have just drove over a picked it up. Anyway, this was the first time I ever stripped my toy quad all the way down to it's individual parts. I had to go...

Oh and this little tid bit .... he's going to be buying googles to fly the Mavic Pro soon. He figures it will be easier with the $1699.99 drone that the cheaper ones. I was amazed he didn't get those already when he bought the big kit for the Mavic.

Cool! I have your website bookmarked!

.... a Mavic Pro and an X380 over the weekend! My neighbor has both of them and he has the same one I do now as his learner drone! He did the smart thing, as had been told to me many times by very smart drone pilots, get a cheap toy to learn on! We both have the WLtoys V686G for our learners...

Are you going to be selling any parts for drones or just the RTF's?

I am happy to see you get this drone in the air! Although your last flight was way funny! I was sorta of waiting for a zip tie to break during your maiden flight. I know, it's mean, but at least I'll learn from your mistakes ... I can't wait to get my first "built by me" drone in the air. I'm...

I got the emails all at once this morning from USPS, UPS and the seller on eBay .... it will be here today! I had ordered this back when everyone said it was the perfect time to miss out on the "Christmas Rush" I really thought I did it right. It was sent out on December 10th, 2016. I have all...

It's okay Wildwelder, I need to hear every once in awhile that my ideas aren't always the best choice, you should hear my wife. I call her the "Princess" and when I do, it's dripping with sarcasm. BTW, I have a camera lost in the mail that was from the State next to me, so losing it from another...

Sure wish I knew how it worked .... USPS lost it somewhere in Pennsylvania. It's so small it probably got kicked under a cabinet and the local mice are using it for their Christmas holiday.

My wife said the same thing, she is putting her foot down on it! LOL! I'll go back to my wishlist/buildlist with parts from HobbyKing and eBay. At least with eBay I can use PayPal and get my money back if things get "lost in the mail". Amazon's prices are too steep for me, I did buy my...

I think this photo and post should be sticky to the top of the "Newbie Section" under "Newb Guides" or all three message threads in the "Newbie Section".

I love the way Micro Motor Warehouse promotes their 0820 motors. They have several speeds: "speed:fast" or "speed:faster" and the best description I have every heard for little 0820's, "speed:insane"!! I have been buying my little 0820's from seller on eBay, $9.99 for all four with the copper...

I live near a free wifi hotspot from Xfinity and it's not protected. Anyone with Xfinity at home can use this hotspot while in the same field as I am (it has a very strong signal). If they happen to have the same app as I was using for controlling my drone on their phone, say the Wingsland S6...

I was wondering if it's possible for someone to take control of your drone by using a cell phone while your flying it with your cell phone? I don't use a cell phone on my drone, but I know people do. I know there are a ton of apps for this, so can it be done? Have you ever heard of it happening?

Micro motors are pretty expensive, but I have heard really good things about them (just forgot where). You'll need a gear puller and glue to put the tiny gears on those shafts. I did see a guy use a lighter to heat up the gear and take off, not sure how that would affect the motors though. I...

I just started out with a WLtoys V686G just about a month ago and I'm super happy I went cheap first to learn how to fly a multirotor.

I found these on eBay while looking at everything quadcopter related since I now know how to turn corners on my toy quadcopter ;) For $170.00 it has everything, but the AA batteries for the transmitter...

Oh Crap! I REALLY hope this doesn't happen to me on my first hexacopter build! Damned funny when it happens to someone else though!
