      Ugh Bruce does my nut in. He’s monumentally bad for the hobby. His “insight” really isn’t insight and he really shouldn’t be commenting on things he doesn’t actually understand

    zohd dart

    zohd dart xl

    zohd orbit

      Sonicmodel and zohd are the same people.

       

      already got a dart on order

       

      in other news the guys I fly with managed to recover the electronics from my crashed wing!

      That means buying from banggood and I won’t do that. But thanks for the advice. 

      As to the zohd not being any good, they seem to get rave reviews everywhere and I can get them from a UK retailer. Which is a huge plus! 

       

      Inwill let let you know what I decide in the end :)

      I couldn’t throw a dart that high! Was a huge pine tree, couldn’t even climb it. 

       

      Some of the guys I fly with are going to mount a rescue mission using phantoms and mavics

      i know exactly what you mean. my advice is (assuming windows) is powershell learn to script in powershell. i started by trying to do things i normally do through the gui and learning to do those in powershell then i started writing scripts to automate those tasks. now i more or less just live in a powershell window lol

    hey guys, have already made a thread on which quadcopter but wanting to know which racing quadcopter to go for please? didnt want to make another thread. cheers guys :) 

    1. Madmini

      I flew a phantom for a year before getting my first fpv setup and I crashed and crashed and crashed. The quads with all the stabilisation modes and gps really lull you into a false sense of security. 

       

      If you check dronejunkyarduk on Facebook you can find a cheep 2nd hand transmitter and run up a sim for a few quid. If you go for a flysky transmitter you can get one second hand for about £30 and that will get you started.

      Here’s a link to a UK vender for a wizard

       

      https://www.quadcopters.co.uk/eachine-wizard-x220s-rtf-fpv-racing-drone

       

      you will still need goggles and some decent props dal5045 or dal5046 would be a good choice

       

      but a taranis or q7 and a sim would be a better start as you won’t need to spend money repairing your quad while you learn basic flight

      if you can afford it a frsky taranis or the slightly cheeper frsky q7 are both great radios with lots of available help and support.

      Given you have no transmitter start with a decent transmitter. Then Download liftoff or velocidrone and get some practise. It’s nothing good like flying a machine with gps, rth etc.

       

      as to other kit....

       

      once you have a decent tx it’s up to you. 

       

      The time on a sim will save you a fortune as well in parts

      the psvr works with any ps4. tested with a few different ones. was better with the standard slim than the pro as the psvr doesnt do 4k pass through..

       

      good luck
