You came to the right place. These guys/girls are super helpful!

Thanks!

Thanks for the good advice!

Thanks Chris.

Thanks, that's reassuring.I was wodering if there was something like a pamphlet you study to get a driver's license. A slightly strange thing happened today. I put the camera back on the Q500 and ST10+ outside and ran it for a while to drain the battery. Then I stopped to go for a bike ride...

I took a quick look. I will try to get around to the Test, etc. possibly this weekend. I'm slightly confused as half the stuff says "if your drone weighs more than 55 pounds" and the other half says .55 pounds. Is that a typo?

Thank you very much!

Yesterday went very well. We finally had some clear weather with blue skies! I was able to acquire sats (up to 12 or so) on both ST10+. I ran down 2 batteries by turning on the Q500. One I did with the props off and the other with them on, which made me a bit nervous. It is clear today to...

That is some great info. Thank you That is some great info. I was wondering if it can be flown without the controller linked to satellites. I don't think I'd try to as I am a novice, but it's great to know. I feel I've picked up so much more understanding of how this thing works in just a...

Thanks. I'll try that. By the way, I said: "It has been outside, running for1:30 minutes and the battery is now at 11.8 volts. The camera is not attached. I will try that next." That should have bee 10:30 minutes. I brought it in after about 25 minutes. Of course it wasnt having to do much...

Great, thanks! It is on our deck right now, propellers on and running! It's too windy to try to take off, plus I don't have a license. The ST10+ still says zero sats, but the drone side says 15 sats. I never would have gotten this far without help from this forum! I'm going to try to run...

forgot this!

I don't think this is my problem, but I think my drone batteries must be weakened. I use an EV-PEAK to charge the controller battery and the drone batteries of which I have 4. The batteries are 6300mAh batteries. When I was charging them a few days ago, which is when this all started, they...

Nope

This is the camera. You will notice I installed two big fat dampers in opposing corners, but will do the other two as well. I'd love to find some OEM ones! One place has them for like $6/ea which seems a little crazy to me.
