    Been a while - Twin EDF Jet

    So it started out with a set of 64mm (3S) EDF motors and some 40AMP ESCs. It ended with what appears to be a decent setup. Fingers crossed.

    MultiRC SHENANIGANS 150MM Quad - Review

    MultiRC sent me a 150mm Shenanigans quad frame to review. (Rest of the kit I purchased) This is a new direction for me. Tiny and I have to say I do like the use of the TPU. Flexible 3D printed parts are very neat. Not only do they absorb vibrations on the arms but they also help with impact...

    DJI Phantom 4 - My Experience

    Well I took the plunge. After months of debate and discussion. I purchased a DJI Phantom 4. Initially I had been searching for a nice deal on a P3 Advanced but that never materialized. The price difference between the P3 Pro and P4 is small enough that I decided to just get the 4. I was...
