About Me:
I'm just getting into RC. I'd tried some in the past, but that didn't get farther than being 7 and getting the airhogs from Toysrus that never worked that well. Now I hope to get deeper into RC(mainly electric airplanes and helis). I'd like to get a UAV that I could use during airsoft wars as an extra added bonus, but also to just fly around and have fun seeing what I can see.

Hey everyone, Grant here.Right now, I want to build a UAV system (most likely with the new Skywalker frame) that has a range of >3km, and HD FPV video. I'm training on an EasyStar now, then either going to add FPV to it or make the switch to the…
"Thanks! That clears things up a lot. Now my question is: do most modern charger/balancers know when a battery is completely charged and stop charging when that point is reached?"
I recently got a 3 cell 11.1V 20C zippy lipo from hobbyking. I was trying to find the right charge rate to use, but I couldn't find anything on hobbyking that said what rate to use. Do you guys have any recommendations?
"Hey, another quick question. I heard from a different site that you have to solder on the connectors to some zippy batteries. I was wondering if this one required soldering, and which connectors you guys recommend using?"
"If you want, there's a website called rangevideo.com, and they sell a special mount($35) called the EZ-Pod that goes on the Multiplex Easystar. It comes with everything you need to mount the KX-171 camera, as well as two servos for optional rotation."
"OOOOO, I get it now. That's what the ESC is for. I was assuming that the ESC went from the receiver to the motor for some reason."
I just bought a Zippy Flightmax 2200mAh 3s1P 20C battery from HobbyKing. I have a Spektrum DX6i controller, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether or not this…
"I was looking into getting the same batteries, but I was wondering: a) whether or not the packs came with a charger from HobbyKing, b) If not, which charger/balancer should I buy, and c) is there a way I can monitor my battery's charge while flying…"
Hey, I'm trying to mod the Multiplex Easystar and put a FPV camera in it. I don't want to spend all the money on the full UAV thing, but I want to have a home arrow and the battery life displayed on my screen. Can anyone tell me what I'll need to…
I'm new here, and have a lot of questions, so here goes.I'd like to make a UAV that can fit all the following requirements:2+ hours flight time(if not possible, what's the highest flight time?)2 cameras- 1 FPV, 1 on bottom for downward viewIncreased…
