    Shell Replacement and Compass One Broken

    Unfortunately they didn't. Also messed up by cutting my motor wires instead of soldering to the board. So I had four bad motors. I bought a lot of used motors on ebay. Seller had no idea which part number (#23 vs #24 / CCW vs CW). I put four random motors back in it after fixing the compass...

    Shell Replacement and Compass One Broken

    I bought new landing gear and it only came with female ends. I need the male end. Any chance anyone know where to buy the male end?

    Shell Replacement and Compass One Broken

    So I backed my P4 into a tree on the third flight about 70 feet up. It came back amazingly with a dent in the wing but flew fine. I waited 6 weeks and bought a new body. I subsequently swapped bodies and broke the number one compass connector coming from the computer, not the connector from the...

    Filming Dirtbike / Geographic Boundary

    Is there anyway to set a vertical limit for the P4? Say I don't want it to fly below the tree tops?

    Filming Dirtbike / Geographic Boundary

    I just got a P4, it's on the way and have a question. I plan on filming a dirtbike using the active track function. I'm in an open pasture with elevation change. Can I set a geographic boundary for the drone to not fly in/out of? I don't know how much I trust obstacle avoidance yet, there's...

    Which Model Controller?

    Long story short I kept both phantoms got the original in the air and sold the Craigslist phantom to my brother (for what I had in it). I got a futaba tx, T8FGS Fasst and it bound and was in the air in no time. This was a few months back. I'm now installing fpv as the previous owner already had...

    Which Model Controller?

    Yea thanks again. Original bird is back on eBay and Craigslist really came thru for me. Found a P1 for $160 two days after I decided to start over. Finally got it in the air yesterday and these are as much fun as I thought they'd be.

    Which Model Controller?

    Thank you very much. Went to the lhs last night and learned alot. This bird may be making it's way right back to eBay as it has 2 rx inside and the configuration stumped the guy at HobbyTownUSA. Tried to send me a PM but apparently I'm inept at that also. I could only find an option to post on...

    Which Model Controller?

    I got a 5.8ghz model PVT581 DJI tx. I saw the Futaba rx also. I called the lhs and am going to run over there after work and the gent there said he'd help me as much as he could. I may have gotten in over my head with this drone as a first purchase. May need to relist it on eBay and get a kit...

    Which Model Controller?

    Here's a picture of the inside of the bird. I'm having trouble getting my tx linked with my rx. It will beep twice after I press the button on the rx and turn the tx on which leads be to believe something has been recognized but the lights on the underside of the quad remain blinking. Is it...
