    Finally broke a motor

    Thank you for adding this photo here! I just came in to look for it since I have actually killed a motor this morning and I had to take everything apart. It just quit working mid air and freewheeled to the ground. Thankfully it was only about three feet up at the time. No doubt this time, I...

    Finally broke a motor

    UPDATE!! and your gonna love this one 'cause I bet you've done this too! The motor was fine, I used the wrong new blade. I mean, they gave me four blades in two different colors, I didn't know they had different pitches too! I'm back in the air again! I also know what the insides of my RTF...

    Propellers Are Not All Alike

    The Tarot FY680 Pro hexcopter is what I have had my eye on for my next adventure. I love finding these little tidbits of info as I read more about these wonderful aerial platforms! I read somewhere in here about those triblade props too! Something to steer clear of. I have all this filed away...

    Finally broke a motor

    I stacked two 3.7v 1200mha batteries on my little quad and it would get up off the ground and fly around like it was dragging a parachute. I knew it was too much weight, but I had to try. I got it up about 75 feet and accidentally switched off my transmitter trying to open the sunshade on my...

    Where do you buy your parts?

    I think I'll be looking into the Amazon Prime now, break part, replace two days later! I have been using Amazon (normal) and eBay, but I look at 100's of other sites for ideas!

    2 vs. 3 blade rotors

    Well this answered all the questions I had about the three blade systems! I'll be staying with the two blade system.

    Comparison of the under $200 drones

    WLtoys V686G I know it's old but it has everything I wanted in my very first drone. Even the parts are cheap and easy to get.

    Comparison of the under $200 drones

    Seems like some of these either need cell phones to control them or the controller from a WLtoys V686G which I bought as my first drone. I have great video quality from the 5.8 GHZ system and with larger batteries duc taped to the top, I can fly around for almost 20-25 minutes while taking...

    V686G Transmitter "Fix"?

    Well disregard this message, I had a work around, I just worked out. I pulled it apart and realized I am just too shaky to perform any tasks on very small parts or even use my soldering gun anymore. So while I had it apart, I used ATV sealer and stuffed the little hole in the buzzer with it...

    Newbie to the art of crashing ... flying Quadcopters

    Got my first quadcopter a few days ago. Never flown or drove anything in the R/C world. I like a lot of people saw what a drone can do and got hooked. I'm amazed at how well this drones handled a dead drop from 150 feet onto a mowed field. I never knew there was a second wind force after...

    V686G Transmitter "Fix"?

    Does anyone know if I can remove the annoying beeping thingy in the transmitter and replace it with a nice quiet LED? It comes on and stays on during the entire time it's in "headless" mode. I don't know the transmitter model numbers, but it's used with several JJRC, Wltoys and other 250mm...
