because obstacle avoidance is code for (beyond line of sight) and ventures into UAV territory. Too easy to add a gps, set it and forget it, then launch it on a camera trip over some politician or celebrities home. wana see the hammer drop? try selling a quad with a fuel powered engine with...

My pain, your gain. I have come to the conclusion after hours of testing and replacing parts the A-15 version of the 30a little bee esc, no matter what firmware you load on it, or what settings you use, is incompatible with the new Emax 2306 motors. Constant de sync problems, sporatic motor...

I think the first things to go would be the plastic legs. Blunt force trauma. Then the fancy black plastic cover over the electronics, tree probably. Then the plastic housing on the camera followed shortly afterwards by the camera itself, landing on a hard surface at a high rate of speed (crash)...

Go in stages. LOS is not really important anymore. You can program most flight controllers for -headless mode- in which it doesn't really matter what direction the quad is facing. So if you have to revert from FPV to LOS because of equipment problems, headless mode will be much more helpful...

Depends on what you want to do. But no, in general, not worth the upgrade until they develop HD video transmission with low enough latency to be useful for a racing quad and goggles capable of displaying it. Keep in mind too, it is not the goggles per say but the receiver on them that determines...

It is either the motor, the esc or a connection from frayed/broken wiring on one of the two. Easy enough to check. Swap the motors, if another motor works, it is the motor. if not, the esc or the wiring. BTW you did understand that in agreeing to get into quadcopters you also agreed to...

Soooo, just so i understand, a Chinese company is ripping off another....Chinese....company by selling DJI products they license to sell to foreign companies in other countries.... No honor among thieves? Dude, only fair. Chinese companies have been ripping off tech from every other company in...

Something ELSE to remember...most RFT quads automatically disarm when they are inverted unless you have it in manual/acro mode. Most new fliers have it in stabilized. If it is in stabilized flight mode, turn it upside down. If in manual mode, invert it and put the props in the grass. It is a...

question. Did you solder your esc's to your motors and PDB or did you use some kind of connector? Connectors are bad. The vibration of the quad creates micro breaks in the connection causing it to react erratically. As well, make sure your solder does not cross over to other pads. Clean it up...

flying over water is not the problem. Crashing into the water is the problem. You can soak/spray corrosionX onto the motors, FC, Tx and just about everything. will waterproof it pretty much. There is a u-tube video about it, look it up. The guy doing it lands a heli into a tank of water and...

motor could be bad. Run it for a few minutes and see if it heats up more than the others. Can try spraying 3n1 oil or WD40 into the top and bottom of the motor. It has berrings. could be dirt in it. ESC either works or it doesn't Does the quad have bullet connectors or are the motors and esc...

still a good starting point price wise for new fliers. And still a good frame to build on with easy access to spare parts. Same with the 250 racer. Cheap, plenty of parts, easy platform to upgrade. Lightest, fastest quad on the market with the most features? Nope. Who cares? Your gonna trash it...

Eachine 250 falcon. You can upgrade to your liking. Solid platform. The quad you can get for 150 to 180 depending on where you buy it. If you were talking about a complete package though....that is different. The controller will set you back about 150 to 200 depending on which you buy but you...

Had to happen. Gtune is gone. No longer an option in the cleanflight mode set up. Plugged in my quad and re flashed with the spracingf3 hex and...would not fly at all. Default settings are for some guy working on the GUI who wants everyone to do what he does. Fly race drones at max settings...

most of what you see is tuning and a 4s battery. The default settings in cleanflight are very low. Low yaw, pitch,roll rates. On top of that, even in acro/manual mode the default on a Tanaris has expo turned on. It dampens the controls to make it more new flier friendly. Run G-tune, up your...

Careful. Big oil is watching....

sold out already.

That flight controller you are missing? Stella looks like she has a bit of an upset stomach. Might want to check the yard for that flight controller.

You would be correct if you already knew how to fly and lived in a place with constant wind storms. However, as i mentioned, if you re LEARNING to fly, they go a long long way in teaching you how a quad responds to control actions and can in fact significantly reduce the time it takes for you to...
