RC Quad Thread

[TexasBrandon]

The dominator v2 has the capability to take an SD card from the data sheet I read. So does the HD but the HD is old and phased out apparently. There's a few other lineups they have that record too I think.

 

[TexasBrandon]

It has a microSD and a microHDMi out as well as AV in/out and earphone ports. Also has head tracking capabilities

Ok, the dominator V2 is the headset I was looking at before.

The one I was thinking about that didn't look like it had record/vid out capability was the ultra micro bundle. There was one with a FatShark headset but it looks like they rebranded it as spektrum now for the kit.


Edit: spectrum bundle comes with Teleporter V4.

Can someone post a link to that headset?

Yeah I want the V2 because of the better quality. I figure I'll use it for all my FPV quads as I get better cameras on them

FPV?

Got the 350 QX out for a test flight for the first time since the tree incident.

Everything seemed to check out but it was drifting forward in auto level mode. Hooked it to the computer and sure enough the sensors were reading a slight reward lean when level.

Re calibrated the accelerometers, everything else checked out. Will take it back out tomorrow to make sure it's hovering right if the wind will calm down.

I lost mine this morning. Freaked me out. RTH saved the day.

 

[Younggun]

Haven't been in that situation yet. Probably going to be a nerve racking test when the time comes.

Glad it came back to you

Glad you got it back.

RTH is essentially a straight line, right? Damn any obstacles you may have flown around.

There should be a RTF (re trace flight [or similar]) so it doesn't collide on the return.

Too many teens on a golf cart making laps, standard for a holiday weekend.

I chased them with the Alias. Driver hit the brakes and the girls facing rearward screamed.

I love my job.

Sounds like it's time to add a water ballon drop to the apprentice

 

[Glockster69]

LoL. Too much lost orientation at night.

 

[Younggun]

Just set a new personal altitude record. Not sure how high, about 4 minutes up at full throttle, lost sight of it and for a while, the return trip was a little nerve racking until I could hear it again.

Prolly about 385'


That high dolla rig don't have telemetry?

ETA:

FAA, AMA Work Together on Model Aircraft/UAS Safety

January 13, 2014

<snip>

The FAA-AMA pact is important because the 2012 FAA Reauthorization contained language specific to model aircraft. Congress mandated that the FAA cannot regulate model aircraft operated according to community-based standards developed by a national organization – a designation that AMA satisfies. Both the FAA and the aircraft modelers’ group believe jointly working to ensure continued safe operation of model aircraft will comply with the congressional directive.

Nope, no telemetry.

 

[Sugar Land]

It is real easy to lose site of it at 400 ft..
