No ! In the (hazardous material) bin for any pack that has swollen, if you care at all about safety. Those batteries are not rescuable, and every flight you try on them now is maximum risk, both to the battery and whatever it is in when / if it catches fire, or swells further so it can't be...

Hey Klaw Not sure - maybe 300 quid or so including every accessory I have for it, and there's quite a few ! There are a few things you should know about it before considering. 1. It has never been properly crashed, though it has had a few hard landings caused by the weird **** the compass /...

Indeed you shall ! :) Bound to be a bit crazier over there - there's so many of 'em !

Well, it would seem that after a rocky start (delivery driver delivered it to some random house 500 ft away and then falsified my signature!) my Mini4 has arrived ! So I guess I won't be hanging out here much for this next part of the flying adventures. But I will keep my account here if I may...

Yep, keeping it is definitely still one of the options on the table !!

That too is becoming more of a worry for me. I'm already needing reading glasses for typical controller distance whilst my eyes are doing OK at far distances still, something that will be more of a problem with a much smaller UAV. And I can't do additional lights without bumping it over the...

Indeed, and that aspect of it I was determined to preserve, hence the RC-2 I went for !

Yes. I find it quite difficult to let these things go. And more so because it hasn't died some dramatic death rendering it bin fodder. In fact the last few times I flew it for the majority of the time it was still doing quite well. But I have trust issues with a) batteries that old and b) GPS...

Thank you - didn't know you could view completed items there, so that was useful. One like mine went for 350 quid the other day, which was a bit more than I thought. Assuming I sold it, I would say it gave me very good value for the amount of time I spent flying it and the amount of joy it gave...

I'm sure nobody noticed, but I haven't been here, or done any droning for about 2, heading for 3 years now, as my interest in that hobby got rather subsumed by EUCs, and I was getting increasingly depressed about the constantly changing and increasing UK rules we had to comply with together with...

Well I have TH, rather than a plus, which are very much different machines, so not sure any comments from me would apply to your craft... However, with that said... On a TH it doesn't, and I don't recall that it does on the plus either (though happy to be corrected by plus owners of course)...

Media hysteria mainly. From exaggeration, to outright making stuff up (see Gatwick airport drones debacle etc), the media of the world has managed to successfully make about half the general populace immediately suspect anyone they see flying anything as being up to something nefarious. It is a...

You don't say where in the world you are, but as it happens I have a spare set of neewer NDs for TH. These cost more like £12 back in the day, so probably not in the same league as the freewells, but TBH I have had zero problems with the other set of identical ones I use regularly (they sent me...

Amazon UK still have some, though they seem a bit overpriced, and one review says they are too heavy for a CGO3, so not sure that bodes well...

No ! It would be impossible to predict with any level of certainty, and the word 'guarantee' certainly doesn't apply here ! I'd say that was 50% either way, and entirely down to luck !
