Thoughts for first quad?? $190 http://www.banggood.com/Eachine-Racer-250-FPV-Drone-Built-in-5_8G-Transmitter-OSD-With-HD-Camera-BNF-Version-p-995366.html

It back on special for $186... havent pulled the trigger yet... but thinking seriously.

Kerching!!

Done it's the v2's on their way.

Would love to do Skyzones but as a first-timer think I need to contain the budget... but I do think the wife would let me keep them in the divorce settlement if I did buy them !! :)

OK still waiting havent pulled the trigger on the quad... but am thinking these look good entry level at $86. My question is, I know they dont have diversity... and I get the consequence of losing ...

race your quad and win $250k... kid now has a career! https://www.facebook.com/quartznews/videos/1129429120424122/

Ha Ha... logical yes...but no I removed the lens cap!! Problem seems to be in the AV port on the receiver, AV port 2 gives the black screen, AV1 works ok, so I can live with that, just need one wor...

How do you set in Libre pilot, an easy flight mode, a more aggressive one, then a prop-breaking acro mode??

Yes I discovered that too, I had to set up all the switches on the Tx first then run the Librepilot Tx setup. Not sure on the DX8, but on the DX7s if want to use certain switches I'd need to change ...

I made sure to connect the antenna, and yes mine gets quite hot too. Thx for the screen shots Simon... will put the props on tomorrow and see how it goes.

Ok, so props on and attempted a hover. Its a bit wet so am under the back pergola, not much space, up, down, left or right. Tried to just idle on the ground and gradually increase power for a low ho...

Yeah... but dont get distracted by all the other settings in Libre like I did... stick with default settings, use the wizard, and just get a switch for flight modes sorted. There is so much more tun...

Oh yeah! gotta watch that 'phase margin in the feedback loop' thats critical!! :) I read that article too and decided to stick with defaults for now!!
