Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Owned Blade 350qx; lost one to a broken "b"blade; lost its replacement to a fly away. Looking for a reliable replacement. I'll be using it for autonomous aerial surveillance, mapping, and monitoring of my farm, Aerial photography: fpv monitoring of fire lines during controlled burns of my Pine plantations. Post Burn assessments.

"I'd suggest that before your get into tearing the copter apart that you redo ALL calibrations, »»especially the compass.«« I do it in the manual mode and don't stop till I have about 4000 points. This has the extra benefit of getting my GPS to lock…"

Does anyone have setup info for the Turnigy 9xr PRO transmitter from Hobby King? I burned up my Fly Sky that came from 3dr by pulling a bone headed move and connecting one of the 900 MaH batteries that came with the FPV/OSD setup with wrong…
"If you have an android device try installing an app called K Index Monitor. Jerry Hardin put me into it.

"I ordered the FPV/OSD option from 3dr on my X8 RTF and, so far, find it satisfactory. I just replaced the 5.8g antennas with the Bluebeam Ultra set from RangeVideo.com yesterday (they come with the NEEDED adapters) and have only tried it out on…"
