Phantom Pilots in Houston?
- Thread starter RedFishChaser
- Start date
Hello there fellow fisherman/phantom pilot.
I'm in the South Houston area. Alvin/Manvel to be exact. Just got into this hobby, and happen to have a great flying field at my house. Looking for fellow pilots that could help me learn some stuff. Hit me up and come on out today, cause I fly fpv everyday.
Also if anyone has skills in putting together gimbals and phantoms, I will pay you (beer or cash) to help me get it all working smoothly.
Also, I have the Attitude SD goggles from fatshark and a tarot 2d gimbal. Any way to set up the head tracking to work as the tilt function? Cause that would be awesome. But I think it sounds like head tracking wont work with our stock controller?? Looks like most of the setups people do have me putting in a little switch on my controller.

Hey guys, I'm also a Phantom pilot. I'm out in west Houston area near Katy FW and Beltway 8. Usually fly out at Bear Creek Park when I do. I'm also intested in getting into FPV, now I just fly by sight.
I'm in northeast Houston (Atascocita-Humble).
I'm still learning. Adding gimbal and FPV equipment onto one of two Phantoms that I have. Added the gimbal. Not directly to the NAZA controller yet. I believe I need to do that to do axis control.
I have to find out how to connect the TX now as I have an older GoPro (1 or 2). No clue.
We'll need to coordinate a get together one of these weekends!

Good deal. I'm down. So I just added a tarot gimbal yesterday and man it is great. Works as advertised. No tilt control yet, as I don't know how to solder and all that fun stuff. But soon hopefully. You know anything about all that? I found a post either on here or youtube that told me what parts to get for the install. Now I just gotta get brave enough to try it.
Have y'all tried any of the aftermarket props yet? I have tried two different versions of carbon fiber ones and I go straight back to the stock ones. They just fit better and feel better to me. But I would like to have some that produce more lift, so if you have found any that worked for you just pass on the link so I can buy me some.

I've recently started a Houston UAV Club for folks to get together and fly. I'm working on the website, but in the mean time you can connect on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/houstonuav) and twitter @houstonuav. We have our first flight time this Saturday 10/26 at 11 AM at Memorial Park in Sugarland. https://www.facebook.com/events/1423312 ... 30/?ref=22

I'm also in the Atascocita/Humble area. RedFishChaser we need to meet up sometime.
In the woodlands. Need to find a place to fly, mine is arriving on Monday. my parents have a place up near waco that is perfect for flying, but I won't be there for another 2 weeks, so I wouldn't mind trying to find a place free of interference to fly it a couple of times.
Summerwood area for me. Been flying for about a month at a couple of the local school football fields.
Waiting for the weather to clear up some and to start finding some more interesting subject matter.

I just picked up a phantom 4 pro. I'm loving it so far. The hardest part is finding a place to fly it.
