Hey all

DarthRotor here -- I got into RC flight about 3 years ago and now im hooked

I made a site for anyone that want to know more about quadcopters and FPV flying... its a freaking blast. please note the site is new and i rushed to push it out there so keep in mind its a work in progress

darthrotor(dot)com will get you there

check out my rigs, videos and articles about RC planes and Quadcopters!!!

+ YouTube Video

Nice! I, too, am gravitating away from RC cars and towards FPV quadcopters.

You're not still flying in angle (auto-leveling) mode, are you? It kind of looks like it from the flight characteristics in that video. Knock it off immediately!! Rate mode is the only way to go. It's a little intimidating at first but after a few broken props, you'll find yourself unchained from the invisible tether and capable of so much more interesting flight capabilities.

WHOA now :P

AcroNaze has no autolevel mode on her.. thats just evidence of my maverick style "pilot s#$%" developing.

im still learning about PIDs n such but you are absolutely right about the rate mode. Its just more Zen that way.

I have the FPV Vapor with the Fat Shark googles and micro cam all stock from the sale Horizon had. The video quality sucks and the range is even worse.

My question, what would you recommend to add on so I can at least fly around my house without losing video? I don't want to spend a lot. Just something to make it fly more than a 100ft and still have good quality video. Thanks for any help.
