    New member looking for advice please

    I don't think so, the kids in like Netherlands or something? They drove a few miles and pulled over and tried flying it on side of hwy, and even ppl driving by were like "your idiots" and they just couldn't do simple tasks. Then finally it's now late at night, looks like 7-8hrs passed and...

    32 Channel Hack

    N017RW doesn't condone the FAA or the FCC violations, most ppl don't, I'm such a boring American, I obey all the most important laws surely, and 98% of all laws important or not. I do however indulge in a 1W amplifier on my 9dB Omni Hawking's mounted up high on my roof for the best signal...

    Antenna jungle - inventory - What's out there?

    Well, I prolly should be hiding the antenna on the chimney, but they're not eye sores. But I'm thinking of maybe putting an antenna mast in the roof, like a 10' or something, with a 60" 15dB but have it in tandem to the Hawking, that should give me much better "off-axis" RX, right? Even another...

    Antenna tracker for P4 -phantom 4

    You know, really, if there was a tiny little thing to clip on, but I don't even know if that is an option, not sure, what I do think is, we should start getting someone to post two of these up One for each channel, that's two watt amps from our 100milliwatt tx/rx and this would then make the...

    USED Flashlight, found hairline cracks

    I mean, I'm doing a LOT of runs, I average over a million feet a month right now anyway, gonna do a quarter million today and keep an eye on it, and do a close up maybe destructive test. (Vs a non-destructive test, meaning I will harm the weld, or the actual "bead" to get the closest look up...

    USED Flashlight, found hairline cracks

    Ok so I bought some of this shyt, I'd had some but think wife stole it, anyway had this overnighted, Amazon owed me so it was free, anyway I did loosen all the screws quite a bit, then re-tightened them, except not so ridiculously over-done. I was able to "feel" a tiny tiny bit of "slop" or...

    Update Firmware

    whenever I've seen what seems like an anomaly, I tend to treat it that way. I've had my RC say firmware needs to be updated when it clearly doesn't need to be, then after a reboot or restart of app or whatever, glitch gone and problem solved. This seems beyond that, with you saying you flew it...

    Is there a fix for the tilted horizon issue

    I don't know what all the replies are, didn't go though them, I've had 100% of my phantoms have TiHo issues, even replaced one just for kicks, I'm averaging a million ft a month right now, as I watch close I can see it drift, I can see it also fix itself sometimes, I do instantly adjust...
