Good article! Thanks for sharing that with us. That's a good site, I read some other things on there that could prove to be a help to me.

Is there really as much difference between all the radios/transmitters as there is in their prices? They look practically the same. Some of them you have to study close as the names are alike, Frsky/Flysky, are an example. Two or three letters and a couple of hundred dollars. A friend of mine...

Well, I typed ESC Amperage into Google. The first couple of things that it listed took me to old postings in RCgroups.com forums. They explained it. Seems some on there had a guideline of using an ESC that has an amp rating 25% greater than what the motor should draw. There was also several...

I have found the answer to this question.

In shopping for parts I've came up with a question for some of you old hands at this. I'm seeing amperage ratings from as low as 10 to 25 or 30 on ESC. Can someone explain this to a newbe. Is higher amp better or should you keep lower? Is this the rating that the ESC will stand in draw from the...

Ok, thanks. I'm very willing to sacrifice some quality to have a more durable quad. I'm not a real photo/video buff anyway. I just make pictures and videos and look at them. No editing, enhancing, cutting or all that. I like to fly and a race type quad will just better suit me.

Ok, that's what I was talking about. I've seen quads with like a Mobius or a Run Cam mounted separate, on the very top. That is the kind of set-up I'm interested in myself. I have a Yuneec Q500 now. The stills and video from it are outstanding. But I'm wanting a quad more like these 250s that...

Enjoyed the video thanks for sharing it. I have a question. Are you using the same camera for your video as for your goggles? The reason I'm curious is I have seen two cameras mounted on quads and was told they were using one for goggles and the other to record video that they could post, edit, etc.

Great Video Quad Kid! That looked like a lot of fun. The very reason I'm planning on a race drone in my near future. Not so much for competition, but just flying like you were. I like flying my Yuneec Q500 but I'm not a real video buff so in some ways I have a package that I don't use the...

Based on my shopping and pricing that is a good set-up isn't it. I looked at a similar package, but I still have this itch to build my own.

That is a great looking drone! Nice color combos.

After a little over a year of flying a Yuneec Q500 4K I'm ready to try something different. I've been intrigued by race drones/FPV for a while and am ready to give it a try. The build you own aspect appeals to me as well. Had I been exposed to it before I bought my Q500 I probably would have...

I'm getting ready to start a build myself. Planning to do about what you're doing. I have a question about your soldering. What iron are you using? I see that none of the ones I have are really suitable for this type work. I'm shopping for a station with variable temps.
