Banggood has just given me a code for Dominator HD3 Core, normal price $399, marked down $60 to $339. This is an unusually generous coupon, so I'm sending it out there via announcement here, whereas I normally wouldn't spam you with coupons like this.
Coupon code is 04f3d2.
As always I appreciate if you use my affiliate link when shopping: http://bit.ly/2FVKkeN

The Eachine Wizard X220HV is the best Wizard yet. The only thing wrong with it is that it occasionally death-rolls. But good news: I think I figured out the fix. I've put three or four packs through this quad with zero issues. So naturally I'm giving it away!

The winner of this backpack never contacted me, so I'm doing a 2nd giveaway here on Patreon. If the original winner ever gets hold of me I guess I'll have to buy him one too. Oh well...

Banggood has offered me a coupon code on the Mobula 7 -- 12% off until December 31. I am currently working on a roundup of Whoop-class quads and... spoiler... the Mobula is near the top. It especially stands out because of its versatility. With a 50% throttle limit, it's flyable indoors even for relatively precise tracks. At full throttle, it's decent at outdoor cruising and light acro. The main weakness is its camera is a little confused by bright backgrounds and the stock (v1) frame is pret...

THIS GIVEAWAY IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. Please read this part!
In the U.S. there are laws that regulate giveaways, sweepstakes, raffles, and so forth. Basically, any time somebody pays money for a random chance at winning a prize, that is regulated under the same laws as gambling. This means that almost all small-time giveaways you see people doing on the Internet are probably illegal. But nobod...

I've been working on this for about six months and it's finally ready. You get first chance to order it before it sells out. Orders expected to ship in about 1 week.
2018-10-25 15:54:20 +0000 UTC View Post
It's time for a giveaway! This time I'm keeping it simple `by offering up three items at once.
The quad is a Rooster frame with CLRAcing F4 FC, JB Micro Eagle, Armattan ESCs, and Lumenier POPO 2407/2500kv motors (they say 2700 kv but they're lying). These are POPO Pro motors so you'll only be able to use them with POPO props. AKK Ultimate vTX. RXSR receiver.

This video literally just finished uploading. I haven't even done the thumbnail or description, but I want you to have the first look. I put a GoPro in the Fat Shark HD3, HD2, DomV3, Skyzone Sky03, Aomway Commander V2, and Eachine EV200D. I think this is the best anyone has done at capturing what these goggles all look like. I even used an HDMI to RCA converter to let me play the same flight video intothengigglws from my laptop. So you can really compare!
2018-09-22 23:01:17 +0000 UTC View PostI've received a message from Patreon saying that my policy of giving away items at random to $5 and up patrons is in violation of TOS. Before you get out your pitchforks, please read to the end. I need your feedback on how to handle this, but I want you to understand why this is being done first.
There are state and federal laws pertaining to games of chance (gambling). These laws are important because they protect people from being taken advantage of. For example: you have no idea whether I a...

You can join the server even if you don't subscribe as a Camper, and I will be making exclusive content over there, in addition to content that I make for my Patrons. In fact... I'm afraid this is going to force me to do Patron-only livestreams more often, just to make sure y'all are getting fair value for your subscription.

The liftoff guys are still working on getting it ready for release and weren't quite ready for me to share it. Oops. Glad you guys got a preview though and thanks for your enthusiasm!

ReadyMadeRC has received a shipment of new, never-opened Fat Shark goggles. There are HD2 for $450 (which if you think Fat Shark is going to release the Terminator for $400 maybe you will wait or maybe you'll buy today and pay a little more). There are Attitude v4 for $300 which is an okay price especially because they are showing discontinued/out of stock almost everywhere.
But the star of the show and the reason I'm telling you about this is that they have (at this exact moment) TWO of...
