Next Review :????????

The next review product just came in the mail today! I can't tell you what is quite yet, however, because I'm still not sure if it will work out or not. I will tell you that is a quad copter and that it came from Hobby King. I will probably have the review posted by this next Wednesday, but until then, it's back to the workshop for me!

2000 Hits!

Thanks for 2000!!!

setbacks and delays

As you probably have seen in one of my previous posts, I was going to do a review of the Quanum Venture by HobbyKing. Well, I ordered it and the Venture came about four days later. It looked perfect, but apparently the HK ORANGE series does not like the DJI M-LITE flight controller. That being said, I sent the quad back to HobbyKing within the allotted thirty days for a full refund. Their support was very good and I have not had any problems so far. After I get the credit back, I will probably buy a FR-Sky Taranis and use the rest to do a review of something else. I was thinking either the HobbyKing color series 250 size race quadcopter or the DYS PNF (plug n' fly) 250 size race quad. Please tell me what you want to see reviewed in the comments section.

 DYS 250 PNF

HK Color series quad

VOTE!

What is FPV? New series!

 A lot of people keep asking me what FPV is, or what it means. Shortly, I will be coming out with a several part long series explaining the basics. Please comment on questions you may have that I should address, or things that I could explain. Thanks!

Next Review: Quanum Venture

I just ordered the Quanum Venture FPV from Hobbyking. you can expect a full review soon!

Quick tip: Securing your battery

Recently, I did some modifications to My Ares Gamma 370. Unfortunately, this resulted in the stock battery bay being rendered unusable. To fix this, I made my own way to make sure that your flight battery does not come loose in flight; some thing that would almost certainly result in a crash.
 Instead of using Velcro, I decided to instead to use rubber bands. These act as a battery door that provide a hatch to easily access the Li-Po.

Tools

For this project you will need:

• Several rubber bands
• A hot-glue gun
• Scissors (or razor)
• That's it!

Assembly

First, work the rubber bands slowly over the Fuselage of the plane untill they are stretched over the place that lacks a battery bay door

The rubber bands should be Taught and spaced evenly apart with about 3/4 inches between bands. After this step has been completed, carefully lift one rubber band and put hot glue underneath, Then press the rubber band into the glue. After the glue has dried, put hot glue on the top of the rubber band to insure that it wont fall off. 

Repeat this process untill all of the rubber bands have been glued into place.

As soon as all of the glue is THOROUGHLY dried (DO NOT RUSH THIS STEP!) cut the rubber bands where the glue is dried.

Trim as needed...

Congatulations! You're done!

FPV platform

For about two months now, I have been actively designing a new FPV platform for scratch builders.
Here are a couple of pictures:
