Hey everyone. This has been a semi-secret project in the works for a couple months now. It's a long read, so skip to the end if you just want to see the finished product. Some of you may know of my DIY 2-axis gimbal builds that I have done using wood and acrylic in the past. Well, back in...

This is my version of Peter's pocket transmitter. It'sself-contained and waterproof!

Hello there Pilots! Introduction First things first, I just registered myself to the forum and therefore am not sure if this is the right Forum to post this. Please correct me! So, I just started building myself a 450 sized quadcopter. The quad will be used to do some homebrew aerial...

This design was made back when I was making paper airplanes so I don't know how well that will transition to foam but I dug it out of a storage box and after getting most of the wrinkles and creases out of it, it still flew just fine so the design does work even if it is fidely. Take a look at...

Coments and suggestions are entirely welcome

It would be superb to learn how to make such a neat looking body as you did for your FLIR Y6 quad. Materials/tools/techniques/considerations etc. Please shed some light on how to make it look so sleak and pro.

Hey guys if you remember last month I modded my Turnigy 9x to have both the external stock module and an internal OrangeRX DIY module. This issue now is that I am getting very poor range on both modules. With the stock I get around 80m through trees and with the OrangeRX I get around 60m through...

Hey guys, I need a new cheap to mid-priced frame and i find the ZMR to be a little boring even though at the moment it is at the top of the list of contenders. Even though the alien looks insane inicial price estimates are upwards of $150 and we are not all made of money or team pilots...
