I’ve finally built my first 6S based quadcopter. After quite a bit of research I chose the Armattan Chameleon frame. It was highly rated and comes with a lifetime warranty. Below is a shot of the main parts of the frame, after I got the motors and 4in1 esc wired. The bottom plate is solid, […]
I should do a video of the week award. If I had such an award, this video would win it hands down! Check out the FPV video by Rotor Riot of the demolition of a power plant. Whatever this setup was, I need to build one!

This one will have a RunCam split camera. The Split is not only an FPV camera, but also captures 1080p/60fps […]
I’m glad to report that my new 2 inch FPV quadcopter is now airborne. I had a successful maiden flight, line of sight in the backyard. I even did some trimming of the grass (video below). I took the quad to a local park last night and flew about 10 packs around, over, and even […]

I’m now in the middle of testing the ImmersionRC rapidFIRE 5.8GHz google module. This module is a diversity (two antenna) receiver for Fat Shark goggles, and other products which are designed to accommodate this particular module architecture. The module intelligently “predicts” analog noise and rebuilds the signal to avoid breakups in video quality, rolling, dropped […]
