    Rotor drone DR1

    found this series of you tube videos called "rotor drone DR1". It's an apocalyptic end of the world type film that drones play a major role in. I have only got through a couple of episodes so far but I like it a lot. Unknown disease wipes out most of mankind but before that drones were a...

    My first quad completed

    Took forever to finally get everything that I wanted when I first set out to build this quad but it's as complete as it's going to get. FPV, gimbal and an OSD for battery voltage. It comes in just below 1500 grams. Time to start planning my next one.

Then I started stressing out and just kept making it worse and worse. After about a half mile I said screw it and just cut the throttle so...

    Problem with my throttle setting

    Bought a used turbo ace X-830 with a Naza M V-2 Controller. Inspected everything, preformed bind, calibrated compass, programmed Spectrum DX-8. Everything seems to work just fine except the throttle control. I tethered it to a brick and did some testing with it. After enabling the motors you...

    Back in the air

    Finally got enough time off work to repair my DJI 450 and get it back up and flying. I figured out the problem with the GPS not calibrating and am getting my gains back where they should be. I have a issue with "Toilet Bowl Effect" but I think I know how to correct it. Looking to sell my DJI...

    Why did my quadcopter crash?

    I built a DJI 450 with the Naza lite and GPS. I have a Spektrum DX8 transmitter. This is my first build and getting everything right between the radio and the Naza was a challenge but in the end everything seemed to work perfect. Toggling between course lock and home lock as well as GPS, ATTI...
