    Batteries Sizing batteries for quad

    I want to size a battery for a given quadcopter. What's a good rule of thumb or is there a science behind it? FYI: It's for my Micro Alien. I currently use a 650 but I'm sure it needs more.

    FAA fines

    What's your take on this article? FAA being bullies? YouTuber irresponsible? Both? I personally don't know what to think but be sure what you post online doesn't break any laws. https://dronexl.co/2020/11/26/faa-fines-philadelphia-drone-pilot-youtuber-184500/

    General Interesting - Direct Drive

    OMP hobby M2 V2 I like these helis. I'd like to know if there is any major difference between a geared drive and this direct drive brushless design. It seems the direct drive would need some extreme torque. I don't know though...

    3D printing - PETG

    I decided to get some PETG filament due to its higher heat resistance and toughness. Man this stuff is stringy. So far I haven't found the right settings to minimize this. My first major print and it looks like a black widow got hold of it. But after some cleaning with an xacto, sand paper, and...

    Hot Air Station

    Anyone ever dealt with the 858D hot air stations? I bought a cheap one from amazon and there is a feature in which you press and hold up or down while powering it and it goes into a setting that I don't know what it is. Instead of changing the temp you now are changing a value which can be...

    Buyers Beware - International Transactions

    I learned just today that my financial institution charges me for what is called an IAT transaction at a rate of $10 per transaction. I will not be making any more purchases from banggood anytime in the future due to this reason. They said it takes them about 45 minutes to run checks required by...

    DIY Gps Antenna Mount - Tyro129

    So I haven't been on here for a while. But I have been playing around with RC nonetheless. A while back I bought a Eachine Tyro129. I haven't flown it much but the way I had the GPS antenna mounted was sickening, wire ties! So I decided to fire up Fusion. About an hour later, I had a part...

    So Sad...

    ...yet partly my fault and others'. I was going to go to HobbyTown over the weekend and get some batteries. So I went online to see their inventory but I couldn't access the store page. So I did some research and found out they have closed down. I shamefully admit that purchasing online has more...
