    Brand New FC40 - No power to props??

    There are a few stick positions to start the FC-40. You can do both to the bottom left, or the bottom right, or the top right or top left. I don't know if straight up or down would work, never tried that. I prefer both to the lower left. 8)

    Complete Newbie with FC40 problems

The rotors start spinning, I wait a few secs then give it left stick up to get altitude & go from there. I'm...

    New FAA Model Aircraft Guidance - June 2014

    Interesting too that they brought up not using a "spotter" (3) people other than the operator may not be used in lieu of the operator for maintaining visual line of sight. And no FPV "glasses". :roll: I'm asking the real life lawyers here.. who holds higher sway in the govt, the FAA or the...

    Interesting HWB, If I remember right you are somewhere out in the Midwest so you have more elevation than we do here for the most part, the southern end of the Delmarva peninsula is pretty flat compared to say upstate DE like Wilmington. I was really surprised by the large wet area further out...

    lag worse on iphone or droid on stock camera?

    Discussion time.. I did search the forums but really only discussion I found similar was for gopro mainly being used, they couldn't seem to agree on that. And since this is more related to the FC40 then the video itself I thought it would go here, sorry if it should have been in the Video forum...

    http://youtu.be/j--wblVhBqY Sort of like this purpose then. I was playing when I first got it so was flying it in a field, found it funny how I took off next to a bad wet area, I knew about the one maybe 10-15 ft away but after seeing the video I didn't realize there were more wet areas further...

    US National Park Service has banned all "drones"

    Good luck on getting the NPS to rewrite the rules to allow the usage of RC craft in the parks again. Geocaching/Terracaching/Letterboxing is a minimally invasive activity but a few jerks ruined it for others so the activity is banned from all NPS lands. Delaware State Parks allow it with...
