    Lesson learned: Never enable Auto Power Off on Fatshark Scout (or any other goggle)

    I was messing around in the menus of my Scout this weekend, and saw Auto Power Off, which was disabled. I thought, well, if I accidentally leave them on I would like them to shut off before killing the battery. Well, that was a bad idea. While flying yesterday morning, on my second pack, they...

    Flysky FS-i6S won't bind with fli14+ 1.7g receiver

    The problem turns out to be a bad rx. We tried another one that bound immediately. Thanks!

    Flysky FS-i6S won't bind with fli14+ 1.7g receiver

    Sorry, quick Google search says the i6s is AFHDS 2A and the fli14+ is as well. There shouldn't be any issues there.

    Flysky FS-i6S won't bind with fli14+ 1.7g receiver

    I bought the transmitter used. The previous owner added an external antenna at some point, but I opened the case and don't see any issues with that. The tx is set to i-bus and I can put the receiver in bind mode, but the 2 won't pair. Any thoughts?

    Eachine Nano VTX: getting very hot while trying to do setup.

    First time messing with this stuff. I killed the original camera on my drone so I thought I would add a Caddx Ratel to it, and along with that add a new VTX, because the camera / VTX that came on the Indorfin is an AIO unit, and I couldn't just replace the camera. Since I am learning and...

    Batteries: how to drain charged lipos?

    I'm not sure if this link will work. I have no experience with banggood but when trying to copy a link I can't get anything to show up in the address bar but downloaded an offline copy...

    Batteries: how to drain charged lipos?

    So how close to 3.8 volts should I target? I got them down to about 3.81 - 3.82. Close enough? I'm still very green on all of this. I flew glow powered fixed wing before kids, but back then the new tech was NiMHi. Astro flight cobalt motors were the bees knees. LiPOs weren't even a thing.

    Batteries: how to drain charged lipos?

    Option a in progress. Thanks. I saw a device in a YouTube video that plugs into the balance plug and alarms at a set voltage to wire in with the bulb. I'll have to invest in one of those.

    Batteries: how to drain charged lipos?

    It's a simple 2s, 3s plug in the wall and connect balance connector. 2 LEDs on the face: 1 red indicates power, the other red for charging and green for charge. Came with the drone, which is the Rise Indorfin from Horizon. No storage charge option.

    Batteries: how to drain charged lipos?

    I charged my 3s packs last night planning to fly a few times today, but the wind is too strong and will be over the next few days. I know it's not good to leave them charged. What's the best way to pull them down but not too far? I don't have a charger with those capabilities. Can I wire up...

    Prop recommendations

    Drone: Rise Indorfin 1104 4100kv motors, 3S 740mAh battery. Original props are 2.8" unknown pitch, but less than 3.5. I have some 2.5" x 3.5 pitch and 2.5" x 4 pitch that I bought because I din't know where to start. I thought I might try the Emax Avan 3 x 2.4 as my next prop. Thoughts on if...

    M1.5 x 6 or 7mm machine screws

    The Indorfin 130 comes with 1104 4100kv motors and 2.8" props with counter sunk screw holes. The screws it comes with are about 3.5mm long and replacement props don't have the counter sunk holes. I'm looking for a set of longer screws so I don't have to hand drill out counter sinks in each...
