    BE VERY CAREFUL. the A2 has been plagued with crash problems and software issues. I was going to get one as well but after reading all the troubles people are having I decided to stay with my WKM.

    FW 450/550 Flight Times

    The 6600 4S Multistar packs from Hobby King are great for the money. I can fly 15 minutes without worry but have my time set at 10 and usually am on the ground by 12. Sadly they are out of stock now since the word got out. I saw a couple lower capacity still in the USA shipping centre but they...

    Took the 550 out for the highest and furthest FPV flight yet. I love these goggles, but the antennas I have are in need of some serious placement messing with. I have a clover leaf on a ImersionRC 600mw and Skyzone goggles. I get fuzzy sooner than expected. My Antenna is in the center of the...

    Battery Charger

    I have to agree, get a good charger. Your lipo packs will thank you and last a lot longer. I HIGHLY recommend this one: http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Eos-730i ... +eos+0720i

    How is that "Y" config working out for you? It looks really cool and I was thinking of attempting it. Any more stable? I would imagine you can get some great shots with no props in the way like that.

    I havent ever put LED lights on my 550. I've thought of doing it, but now that I am on 4s its a challenge to get things powered and not add more junk to my battery lines. How fun is it using LED lights? I have a DX8 and could use a spare chan, but I have my setup taking most now with mixing...

    DJI "drone" flier arrested/Aircraft confiscated

    I can assure you that ship is not an active ship. All our battle ships have been out of service since the early 90's He flew in a public park area that he should have know wasnt a smart area to fly. These are the types of cases that are going to make those of us that do follow rules and fly...

    Newbie looking for some advice

    If your looking to get into pictures and video I would go for a bit larger platform. The F550 is great and has more room to grow. You also can build it yourself and learn a lot more about how everything works. A great place to go is helipal.com and grab a combo deal. You can get a very well...

    I think a lot of the users in Europe and Asia use the XT90 plugs. My WKM even came with one new attached to it.

    Once I removed the XT60 and shortened the leads a bit the weight was 497g. I think the weight is as listed. I have Deans on all my packs.

    I have the spektrum one. Its wired directly into my bottom plate where my battery leads are. Works great, but I wouldnt trust it alone. It is close to being the same as the WKM shows through the IOSD. Usually just a small 10th of a volt off. On 3s I land at 10.4v under load and usually I see the...
