    Hi All need your help if possible :)

    Not sure there is an actual model for this. Most model versions have just the quad, maybe some extra props at best, your collection is what you would see from a custom build, parts bought separately and assembled.

    FrSky X-Lite

    I absolutely love mine! I had to dig out the Q X7 a month or so after getting it and it was a night and day difference, I wonder how I flew with it. My only issues have been the fewer switches, which, at the beginning was not an issue, I learned how to make a momentary switch. Now that I...

    Crash & landed in mud

    I have tried planting my quad a few times (in hopes more would grow from it :) ) and I ran them under the faucet and used the sprayer until the grit feel went away, then let dry.

    My new flying buddy!

    That is great to hear/see! I took my kids out to the park and was flying. Plan was to have them ride along, turned out chasing my son around the playground with my whoop. Both had a blast.

    To micro drone pilots:

    Ok, ok, here is 2 cents worth... Fly the way that you enjoy and learn as you go.

    What a difference!

    I started this hobby with a Taranis Q X7 and a few months back I upgraded to the X-Lite. A couple of days ago some guys on our discord server got together on FPV Air 2 and I realized I had left my tx in my wifes car, so I dug out the X7. OMFingG was it a difference! It was uncomfortable, heavy...

    Pulled the trigger on my 1st fpv drone

    I would double check that one. International has a different config, tho for the life of me I cannot remember what it is, maybe the throttle on the other side. Look into a FRsky x-lite, a bit more in price but well worth it in so many ways. FrSky X-Lite 2.4GHz Radio Controller w/ 18650 Battery...

    Freestyle props out or in?

    I might have mentioned at some point. It was a purchase off of a cheap whoop FB group. No complaints on the whoop, just that he glued the motors and camera into the mount.

    To micro drone pilots:

    It really depends on various factors as I see it. Budget: What can you afford? For the cost of 1 brush-less motor you can get 3 full sets of brushed, the cost of just the camera or vtx you can have an AIO camera, frames are low cost, most often can be 3D printed (NFE Boss for example) and most...

    Freestyle props out or in?

    I switched over to props out back when I was strictly brushed and got tired of mowing grass and having to clean everything afterwards and never looked back. The only exception is with my frankenwhoop since the guy I bought it off of glued the motors into the frame and I am not about to kill the...

    So Alive

    Go to www.geocaching.com and make a profile. I'd recommend getting the premium membership so you get access to the really good caches (many make good caches premium so that people looking to damage or steal the caches don't find those, happened to me a few times) Then download an app on your...

    So Alive

    It's actually a pretty good method since people like putting them in unusual places, parks, places in nature. They have one on the top of a sign at wright State University.
