Ok ok ok... I'm finally in the game.

Post by cml001 »

Alright fellas, game on. I'll try it for real this time. I'll post up the carnage in the coming weeks, but this is what I'm working with. QAV 210, Naze32, RCX motors, Zeus 20amp ESCs, Luminier 600mw VTX, Immersion antenna, dal props, etc.. She's quick.. Using a borrowed pair of Fatshark Preditors until my layaway at the LHS is completed for the Dominators...

I've flown 6 or so flights of FPV. Still getting the hang of it. But helis are still my main enjoyment. I fly planes for relaxation. FPV... I'm still at the annoying the hell out of me stage, since I can't fly too well yet. ;)

Very nice:) If you can its an idea to heatshrink the esc,s to the arms. It protects them from wet:) They dont like water at all:)

Gonna use clear heat shrink once I get the LEDs mounted in the bottom of the arms.. I like & dislike the rubber strap' thing... The future holds a SP3 EVO & PDB, LEDs, 200mw VTX, mini Minim OSD, & some 4s packs(using my 3s now)... Time & $$$..

I have had some issue w brown outs... I've basically beat the hell outta. This quad and she's took it well.. but I've got a power issue somewhere.. so.. I scraped the Naze, BEC, and PDB... replaced it with SPRacing EVO & a new PBB.. while I had her apart.. I switched up the color & added some LEDs.. here are some pics.. and there is a non FPV video in my flight log..
