    Training app for hobbyists.

    Yes, I know that the best way to learn is to just "do it". However, it would be nice if there were a generic app for hobbyists, that does not have a name-brand drone. I have seen the Dji app, but they want you to only use their models.

    You did fine for 107 folks, but you did not go through the step-by-step for the hobbyist. Can you do that?

    Obstacle Avoidance feature in toy drones

    I cannot exactly give you an answer. There is a difference between obstacle avoidance, (detects, and goes around the obstruction)on higher-priced drones, and object detection (detects, stops, and beeps or goes backwards) on lower-cost drones.You can tell by an accessory that you snap on the top...

    replacing 1 motor out of 4.. How to match them?

    I appreciate all your discussions and advice. If I choose to replace these motors, I will match motors from the same drone model. However, I may be considering my limited skills, time and chances for a good outcome, I may just buy another drone. Thanks again for this very good amount of inputs...

    APM 2.8

    Just use google or just rt click and you have English. What makes us so special that we demand only our language when a translator is available?

    replacing 1 motor out of 4.. How to match them?

    Thank you for all your input. I have started to take the drone apart to see how to connect the motors and the small Philips head screwdrivers worked fine, yet the next screw got stripped, so I am bringing out my "essential tool kit" from Ifixit to see if good tools make a difference. It seems...

    replacing 1 motor out of 4.. How to match them?

    Thanks. I may try buying only the motor that seems to be affected after I see how difficult it will be to repair.

    replacing 1 motor out of 4.. How to match them?

    Thank you. I will do that and AliExpress is selling just that. Each motor for this specific drone has a designation Front—back left-right. I know nothing about AliExpress, are they reliable?

    replacing 1 motor out of 4.. How to match them?

    I have a modestly priced drone and noticed that motors are relatively cheap. I did read postings on motor sizes. Is that all I have to do is match sizes and they will synch? Doing this would help me on my learning curve in building my own drone. Any advice, since I am new at this will be...

    About Drone goggles.

    Wow, so much information and I had no idea! My thoughts were to buy and have purchased a cheap quad ($I50) that has good reviews. If it gets lost or broken, no biggie. I will be very cautious, so hope to learn before it dies.I only will buy the good stuff when I am decent at it. I will take...

    As a newbie, I am slowly learning about drones with your wise help. Now, I need to know about goggles. First off, I am aware that I need to learn with my phone and controller, then with goggles and a spotter so, I am just getting info for the future. 1. Are goggles compatible with all drones...

    Will my Pixel 4a with android 11 and 4G cause a problem in pairing?

    My Pixel 4a is the same, and frankly, 5g is overstated. It is not all over, and 4G is going to be here for a long time. As a photographer, my choice in phones was really the camera, the rest of the tech for the phones is incedental.

    Will my Pixel 4a with android 11 and 4G cause a problem in pairing?

    David...Success! I have an older Pixel 2 and it works fine! I power up the drone and I can see what it sees on my Pixel 2. Wonderful. Thanks and thanks again. Now I need to find a wide open space like a public school playground on a weekend without much wind. I have passed the TRUST test and...

    Will my Pixel 4a with android 11 and 4G cause a problem in pairing?

    I would hope this would not happen with more name-brand drones like DJI, or Holystone. and others. I really need avoidance, and GPS, with a decent camera, and I am on a limited budget. This one was reviewed and given good marks with the features I needed at a reasonable cost though the...
