    Flying In The Forest

    Hey guys check out my new video flying on an abandoned trail in the woods. This was filmed at the tail end of summer, but I just got around to editing it. My radio has a range problem so that's why I'm only flying such a short stretch of trail. With my new Taranis I'm hoping to fly the entire...

    Making a 180 size quadcopter with my CNC

    For the last couple of months i was thinking about making a 180 size quadcopter, but i had my doubts. I thought it was perhaps too small. But a couple of weeks ago i saw someone fly a 180 size quadcopter (a epiquad) and i knew i wanted to make one. See the 2 video's for the complete buildlog...

    Making 10 degree tilted motormounts with a CNC machine

    Someone from a dutch forum ask me if i could make 10 degree tilted motormounts for a mini racing quadcopter. After doing some research i found a good way to do this. The mounts are made from hard PVC so they are much stronger than the 3D printed mounts and they fit 22 size motors. If anyone is...

    Flying in Circles

    Sometimes flying in circles is a relaxing day at the field. Other times you are literally flying in a circle and trying hard not to crash. There is a neighborhood in town with a circle that was built in anticipation of new houses. To this day the lots remain vacant and the circle goes unused.

    First time with an angled camera, Blackout Backyard Time Trials [Video]

    So I don't usually post my videos on the on the forum since I make them fairly regually and most are not that good from my perspective. But I thought this one might be a fun one to share since I tried to add a bit more fun into, sort of mimicking one of SilentGlovesFPV videos. Any thoughts or...

Got 5030 props to start and 6030 to advance and will get HQ 6030's or HQ 6045's when I get real serious. Also looking for input on what OSD to get. Let me know if I...

    QAV 250 VS MXP230 VS Blackout H 250 VS Strider Mini 250

    Hey Guys, I am thinking of buying a legitimate frame after my cheap carbon 280 EMAX frame, personally I like the the Strider because of the in built OSD but i also know that the QAV and Blackout fly really well, whats your opinion? QAV 250 http://www.lumenier.com/products/multirotors/qav250...

    Quadcopter or Tricopter

    I have been flying quadcopters for quite some time but mainly have been rtf. I really want to make a multirotor for fpv racing. I'm stuck on the fence between trying to make a 250 class quad or a tricopter as I like the yaw characteristics of a tri and they are relatively cheaper to make. Any...

    Racing Quadcopter Scratch Build

    Hello world, So I have decided to step into racing quadcopters. As usual due to financial constraints and me not being a good enough pilot to justify a good expensive frame I have decided to build one myself. I had a look at the “proper” frames and tried to replicate it, knowing that I might end...

    Mini Racing Quad Frame Design - Opinions

    Hi all, I've decided that my next multirotor build will be a mini racing quad. I may purchase a carbon fiber frame, but traditionally I design and cut my own frames out of plywood. The issue is that I have no idea what makes a good racing frame, and I need your opinions. Here are my current...

    MiniQuad Battery Findings

    So today some friends and I had a quad race down at our local RC club. Needless to say, I'm going to need more power to be competitive. So instead of flying my 5030 props, I'm going to give some 5040 and 5030 3 blade props a shot. But when I do this, my current consumption will go up. This in...

    My Take on the 100 MPH for <$100 Challenge

    Hello, This is my first post on this forum, and I'd like to share a project I just began last night. I am relatively new to electric models, so take everything below with a grain of salt! I was inspired by the Flight Test video "100 MPH for under $100.00", and the concept of a cheap speed...
