    Final Destination

    You have dodged a bullet and if you want to continue relishing your great purchase respecting how a drone flys is a great way to start. The props are all the same leangth and balanced for many reason but in order for it to manover in one direction or another the motors speed up or slow down. In...

    New to the drone world and already ready to leave

    Please keep in mind that any type of RC equipment has a learning curve and the education to step into this world is not without cost. Think of this adventure as a “Hobby” and not a life and death undertaking. Relax, take a deep breath, and tinker. When it all comes together you will enjoy the...

    Worst tech ever

    Would this be better? Ceam puff of a drone, only flown once on Sunday by a little old lady and it flew beautifully in to the sunset, the spare body, empty bag and other used parts are ready for shipment and the bird will follow when found. A steal at any price!

    Solo 3dr fell from the sky

    What is the actual ratio of flyaway/lost solos? In this forum we don't hear much from all the successful Solo owners just the ones asking for help or frustrated. One would think 2 out of 3 solos fall from the sky for no reason. I have had some learning curve challenges, one cost $1,000 GoPro...
