Well, just got the DJI air unit and goggles on a Megabee, and I am blown away, that was mostly for my business, it will be a while before I can go all digital in my personal collection. So for analog I still use FatShark Dom v3s, and was using the True D V3 module, but one of the tiny pins...

If it's made as well as the GT 349 you'll love it. I got mine from a reputable builder who only had a few flights on it. Talon F7, Hawkey VTX/Fortress cam with mmcx lollipop, I tell you what, I have beat the $h*t out of that thing being fairly new to acro and pushing myself to fly more...

Yeah, I know I need to get into Cleanflight set the "arm" switch, but I cannot connect to Cleanflight. I usually use LibrePilot, but this quad and another one I just got work off Cleanflight only, yet the quads will not hook up. Well they "connect" but immediately go into CLI mode and tells me...

Ok, I have an older Spektrum radio, it's a DXe, it's the one before the DX6 I believe, it doesn't even have an LED sceen. I bought a BNF 220 quad from a guy on ebay, it only needed a transmitter and batteries to be ready to fly, it already had a Spektrum DSMX receiver installed. On the spec...

Even after all that, and reading the article twice, as you can see below, I had a bad fire in my basement while charging, I was even using a lipo bag, one of those thick silver bags that are "supposed to" contain a lipo fire explosion. Luckily I followed one rule and was home, and was barely...

That tile thing doesn't sound to hot, I've bee researching it, if it's more than 100ft away from you, like on a downed quad, it's not going to work. All it does is tell you the general area where it lost signal with you, which is going to be the field or whatever you're flying in. Why can't it...

Holy crap, that is small!! Is it worth the effort? Are they fun to fly?

Yes I totally got all that, sorry I was so vague in my original post, I've done some research since then and I think I have a better handle on everything. Well, my first quad I had built for me and several other builds I've seen, are like the picture below. You have a XT60 wires/connector and...

Thanks for the update, looks good, glad you figured out the problem. My Robocat build is coming along nicely except for a snag I ran into with the fpv set up, maybe you can help.....First off, I noticed many people use the battery for power, but I ran the power straight to pdb, with a...

Sorry I'm just getting back to ya, I haven't been on in a while. I think the fire was from an ESC if I had to guess, if you've ever seen an Anakin Sky Hero the arms are tubular instead of flat, all the ESC's and wires are in the tubing. Cool set up if it's wired correctly..lol. I did not do...

Ok, WTF!!!!!! I am soooo fed up trying to put one of these things together!! So a little while ago I hooked my quad to the pc and pulled up the LibrePilot, and it was awesome!!! It recognized right away that I was connected, it walked me through how to clear and then install the latest...

So listen to this crazy crap, so I did some more research and I found out that cc3d would not connect to Baseflight, so I downloaded Cleanflight and I still couldn't connect. Then more research, so I find out that cc3d will ONLY work with OpenPilot, so I was like, finally, I'll just download...

OOOHHHHHHH, I had NO IDEA that certain FCs are only compatible with basefight or cleanflight, I thought it was just a user preference. I will definitely have to download cleanflight and give it a try it. My first quad was a Storm 250 RTF and the guy I got it from set me up on baseflight...

I just got an ARF Anakin Sky-Hero the other day, it just needed a RC, which I have, battery and receiver. After some frustration I finally got the receiver hooked up,(this is my first non RTF quad, so this all new to be) I bound the receiver to the my AT9 RC and then I wanted to connect to...

I found out last night doing some youtube research that I do need to buy a receiver, which I ordered from ebay, I also need to order a video transmitter, then I think I'll be good to go. Does the video transmitter have to be the same brand as the fpv camera I have, or do they all pretty much...
