Finding spots to fly can be difficult sometimes. The best way (in my experience) is to search around on google maps and find somewhere that looks viable, then check to make sure you can fly there. Public parks can be a good option, but also any empty lot (that doesn’t have no-trespassing signs)...

That’s great! Working on a quad can be one of the most rewarding parts of the hobby. Not only does it allow you to fix your quad or make improvements, but it also will make you more confident in your flying. You will feel more connected to your build, and (perhaps more importantly) not be so...

I like the Turnigy Accucel-60 (80w) charger. I’ve used it for a long time and recently bought a second to charge more batteries at the same time. It’s versatile, cheap, and effective. You’ll just have to figure out a power supply for it, but that’s not too hard. For batteries I use the Turnigy...

Hey, nice motors! I've got the 2600KV ones on my racer, and they are absolute champs. I haven't been too nice to them, but they've been nice to me!

New frames will always be coming out, especially since the cost of development isn't super high. I personally really like motor technology, and would like to see improvements in that, but I really anticipate further developments of VTX and goggle tech. It's the big component that makes FPV...

China Freight all the way. There are some things they make that are crap, but the simple things are absolutely superb. You're not going to get a better heat gun for an even comparable price. My Harbor Freight heat gun does more than I ever need it to. Why spend more?

I recently pushed my quad (wayyy) too hard and burned out one of the ESCs on my 4-in-1. At least I think that was the only issue. I got a new 4-in-1 and got it all wired up and got everything all configured. Had no issues with running the motors or anything when I spooled them up in Betaflight...

So I updated the firmware, and now BF doesn't even recognize the OSD part of the board. Says something about it not responding to OSD commands. I tried emailing Diatone, but they haven't responded. At this point I'm assuming it's defective.

I've always done just balance charge at 1C. I'm already charging batteries in parallel so I like to be as gentle as possible to prevent damage.

Ah I just realized you originally said i6, not i6s. I forgot that those don't have USB. It's a little bit more work, sorry for the confusion.

I learned on FPV Freerider with my FS-i6s. Just takes a standard micro USB cable. Was definitely the right move. When I first got my Tyrant in the mail I was able to take off and start flying around instantly. Took a little bit to get that precision for tight gaps, etc. But no surprise there...

Haven't tried that yet. Was hesitant since everything else works fine. I'll try that when I get home.

Yeah I can't find anything like it anywhere.

Already tried that. I have everything set to PAL. Also tried changing all to NTSC.

I works just fine so long as I have it disabled, so I don't think I have anything wired wrong. So it must be a firmware or hardware issue? Maybe my FC is defective?
