I'm not much of a quadcopter/multi-rotor fan, but when it comes to strapping on way too much power to way too small of a frame, I may just be game for it! Queue the FuriBee DarkMax 220mm quad (or Drone if you must). This thing is just ridiculous!
In this video, I only fly this on a 4s because...
When the Aomway Commander V1 goggles came out, they filled a huge hole in the market that needed to be filled. Quality goggles at a friendly price. But now, they have made them even better!
They now come with not only the patch antenna but also the SMA Aomway Antenna that is circularly...
There are not many things that make me very happy in this hobby anymore. Lets face it, I've pretty much done it all from building to setting up to flying, it just gets boring after a while. Even with FPV, I have the box goggles that I have used for a very long time which are the Quanum V2 Pro...
In this video I show you how to create a model in your Tx and what settings to change so it doesn't spool up on you. Then I show you what settings I change in the cleanflight configurator and I must say, the settings are fantastic.
I also did the maiden flight in this video as well. I was...
The Eachine QX80 has to be one of the best micro racing quads out there. From its very strong design, to it's ability to fly like a much bigger quad, this quad has it all.
In this video, I show you what comes in the box, and how to properly assemble the quad. As always, please click that...
This helicopter started out as the Cheapest Rc 450 Helicopter. But the further I went with it, the more I saw just how much money we were going to have to dump into it just to make it a "good" helicopter. Below are all of the links I have mentioned in all of the videos on this helicopter, as...
The Maiden Flight of the XFX 450! I was very reluctant in putting this thing in the air, but in this video, I do just that. But not without issues. So there will definitely be more videos of this helicopter.

Betaflight Setup has to be the easiest setup you can do on a quad. Unless of course you really dive into it. In this video, I go through what I have done in setting this DarkMax quad up. I had some video issues and had to piece this together over about 3 days just to make a video. If enough...
This is just an overview of what I have already shown in the past on how to setup a flybar helicopter from scratch. I have already replaced the servos due to one of them being stripped out, and I have attached the gyro, Rx and battery to the helicopter as well as I put on the main blades so that...
If this quad had a few things done to it, it would be a fantastic quad. But as it sits, it has a HUGE room from improvement! In this video, I show you the first outdoor FPV flight, what went wrong, and the Pro's and Con's of this quadcopter, the QX 110...
Installing the RunCam Swift was a nice surprise on this quad. The holes in the front plate are made to hold this camera. So it fits in the front of this quad quite nicely.

The single worst thing about this truck is the horribly tight diff. I have 3 of these trucks now and every single one of them had a diff that would almost break the plastic dog bones if you tried to spin it. In this video I show you exactly how to go into the diff and free that sucker up! This...
What's In The Box??? In this video I show you exactly what is in the box. Spoiler alert, it's one of the fastest quads you can purchase PNP!!!
This video has been a long time coming but with the wind up today and not being able to fly, I figured I would get this video out there. Making servo extensions is an investment in the hobby thanks to the crimper and the bulk wire you need, but in my opinion, it is well worth is. How many times...
A $60 "Super Combo" 450 helicopter? Is it worth actually purchasing? That is what this series is all about. This was the absolute cheapest helicopter kit that I would find. In this series, I will go through what this helicopter needs to get in the air and most importantly, make it SAFE...
When I was first approached about this quad, I initially turned it down, but then something hit me that I thought might be good for some people with this quad and because of that, I decided to go ahead and allow them to send it to me and make this video.
This is the Eachine E56 Pocket Quad...
This little action camera from ODRVM is not bad for the price. 1080 videos at 30 frames per second with the option of 720 at 60 frames. The menu system is very familiar since it is using the SJ7000 camera firmware. But whatever you do, do NOT try to update this camera. You will brick it.
Get...
Installing a canopy is simple, right? WRONG! Not when you move up to a Goblin. The canopy shipps with a 2mm hole already drilled into the canopy. It is up to YOU to ream that hole out to fit the 10mm (1CM for those in america lol) so that you can fit the grommets in it. Yea, I will not be doing...
It's time to add some color to this SAB Goblin 380 Helicopter! We are going to put the tail onto the frame, but not before we install the tail block onto the tail boom. I also show you how to easily install the backing blocks and get the holes lined up so you are not banging your head against...
The tail is one of the key features of the SAB Goblin Helicopter. No torque tubes here, we are running a belt on this little guy. And here is where I encounter my first issue with this kit!
In this video, I show you exactly how to assemble the rear tail block including putting together the tail...
