    Futaba Model 8J-2.4GHz

    Just received my Futaba T8J. I am not very good with the tech stuff. Trying to prevent another fly away. Can anyone who has purchased one of these post step by step (for simple mind) on how to make it work with my Phantom? Thank you very much in advance for anyone who helps.

    Motors running backwards

    I had a second party install goggles kit so i could see where my phantom was going. After hooking up power to the camera he wanted to make sure it ran. He didn't know what he was doing and turned it on in his shop. It took off in his shop and crashed and snapped one of the blades. I replaced the...
