    Crissic has been acquired by Quadranet

    Kind of explains why they were still there when I went to GoRack the other day, I was there the day before they moved.

    Summer just started... Cortex Networks scam

    Well good thing is I haven't received any new alerts from Google about links with Cortex Networks in them... Not sure if that is good or bad but eh.. Guess he has taken his quest a bit more private so he doesn't get blasted or banned from the forums..

    Summer just started... Cortex Networks scam

    I am the owner of the real Cortex Networks/JaxVPS and he had approached me wanting to buy the cortexnetworks domains, and I had considered selling them for the right price but when I told him what I wanted for them he said he could not afford it and offered $40 for them.. I told him no thanks...

    Quadcopters and other tech toys?

    LOL yeah a little close.. But this little quad has tons of power to punch out pretty fast.  I got some 6" props in the mail today that should add 150 grams more thrust per motor than the 5x3 props I am running now.  Then the next quest is to bump up to 4S batteries for even more power. Your...

    Quadcopters and other tech toys?

    Yep you needed to throttle up some to maintain your altitude. At least it broke off where you were gonna cut it anyways. Yeah Youtube jacks with the video quality when it reencodes the video.

    Quadcopters and other tech toys?

    That is the same video rx/tx set I have.  I flew right at 1/3 of a mile (1750 feet) with it on Friday. I am still using the crappy stock whip antenna. But it works well. Oh and a new addition has arrived... Still waiting on some parts so I can start the build. Here is my Carbon Fiber Mini-H...

    Quadcopters and other tech toys?

    Well keep in mind that both motors and props do not come very balanced so you need to balance both to get rid of the jello. Search Youtube for videos on how to balance them.. There is two methods for motors... The vibration app on your phone and the laser pointer method. Also to help get rid...

    Quadcopters and other tech toys?

    I think those DJI props do not have round holes, I think are 'keyed' on two sides so you may need to drill the hole out so its completely round. I use HQProps 9x5E props and they worked ok on 3 cell batteries but were a little under powered but now that I am on 4 cell batteries they are perfect...

    Quadcopters and other tech toys?

    Sweet.. I need to pickup a mobius also. But I did pickup two 5000mah 4S batteries , a 12 volt uBEC and some HK DIY FPV goggles. The goggles are on the slow boat from China but the batteries are here and are sweet... My first flight I got 19:53 minutes flight time before the voltage alarm went...

    Start a summer host!

    Sounds like a well thought out business plan... :P Better than some of the companies that pop up.

    Bring on the 6TBs!

    $600 is a little pricey...But other than that looks good for some serious mass storage.

    Quadcopters and other tech toys?

    It mainly just gives more space between the arms and props in the front for video filming with wide angle lenses so you don't have them in the video. It also gives more space to put stuff because its a larger frame even though it still uses the arms for the 450mm frame. I have tons of space in...

    Quadcopters and other tech toys?

    Well my deadcat frame came in and I was able to build it up today. First few test flights were pretty good, a little twichy so some tuning will need to be done. Here are a few pics of the new frame. The two antenna for the controller RX and then the video TX antenna in the back. And...

    Quadcopters and other tech toys?

    Good to hear you go it fixed. That is one of the downsides of that SK450 frame is that standard DJI-450 arms that can be found everywhere cheap will not fit it. My DeadCat frame finally arrived today so I'll rebuild mine on Monday into the new frame. My next purchase will be some additional...

    Quadcopters and other tech toys?

    Well I had my first real FPV flight with my 450 today.. Everything went very well except landing. I let off on the throttle when I was a little higher up than I thought. So i dropped the quad from about a foot or so up. Luckily my landing gear took the punishment. I flew out about 300 meters or...

    Quadcopters and other tech toys?

    A few more pics of my quad.. Taken with something other than my cell phone.. The cam I am using as my FPV "driving" cam. Only a 420 lines of rez cam but plenty for driving the quad with. It has a 120 degree FOV. The backend with my Boscam 351 video transmitter. My FrSky reciever under...
