Going Rate for a Used DFV

Hi All,

I'm in need of some money for school and have been thinking about selling my precious Draganflyer V. Can anyone give me a general idea what a used DFV would go for? It is about 2 years...

RE: Will a Polyester Film Capacitor Work for Motor?

Thanks Bruce,
I noticed when installing it that it didn't have a polarity and wondered if that was the difference. It is rated for 30 volts and so far I haven't had a problem with it. I'm wondering...

Will a Polyester Film Capacitor Work for Motor?

Hi All,

I cracked a motor capacitor and went to radio shack to buy a .01uF capacitor but they didn't have one that looked the same in that size. I bought one that was a .01uF but it is a...

RE: Got my DF

Yeah I just look for the red wire too. Especially when flying low to the ground :)

Word of advice though for indoor flying and outdoors for that matter. While it goes against instinct, give a...

RE: DraganFly in the Snow

Nope, no water issues. I only landed a few times and it worked just fine because all the snow here is coated by like a half inch of ice. I landed on a small hill once though and it slid all the way...

DraganFly in the Snow

Hi All,

I've been away for a while so I thought I would post and update. I just repaired my DF which has been out of service since I flew into the top of a 50 ft pine tree and tubled all the way...

RE: My First POV Videos!

Sorry about the typo... I meant HDTV. I don't understand where the interference is coming from either. We do not have WiFi and live in the middle of nowhere as you can see.

RE: My First POV Videos!

Sky. I received the video on our HDTV then recorded it with a Casio Exilim camerea. 3.2 megapixel but it only records video at like 320x240.

My First POV Videos!

Hi All,

So over Christmas I finally was able to capture some POV videos. The only way I could think of to get the darn video on my computer was to video tape the TV with my digital camera. It...

RE: Which Fuse? and Power Interrupt

Thanks for the response Adam,

I will be sure to check the capacitors on my motors this weekend; I have had a few crashes after all. After that I'm going to fly a few times with FlightLights...

RE: My DraganFly with FlightLights (video and pic)

Yep, it was an aquarium. I always forget there is audio in my videos :D. I'm actually getting pretty good with Ti off... I can fly around that room the video was taken in for a full battery charge...

RE: Which Fuse? and Power Interrupt

Sky,

The wires came twisted already.... I'm guessing Jeff started twisting them once they discovered they could cause interference. I might try flying with the LED's unplugged a few times over...

I'm still looking into which system to go with to add some more LED's

RE: Which Fuse? and Power Interrupt

Thanks all for the responses. I ordered the 15 amp fuses from rctoys even though the picture shows a 10 amp fuse. I'm going to do some reading on the power loss issue since that really bothers me...

Which Fuse? and Power Interrupt

Hi All,

I have 2 questions. I blew my first fuse over the weekend landing in some tall grass by accident. I noticed the fuse that blew was 10 amp while the only replacement they gave me is 15...

RE: My DraganFly with FlightLights (video and pic)

Thanks Sky and Lacey, I'll look into getting one or the other. Lacey, is there an easy way to hook up more than one set of those? I see they plug into a spare receiver channel, but how many of those...

RE: My DraganFly with FlightLights (video and pic)

Table... whoops,

I actually have 2 keychain LED's, but they didn't seem to have that wide a view either. I had them pointed forward for a few flights, then realized I never even saw them. I may...

My DraganFly with FlightLights (video and pic)

Hi All,

RE: CMOS camera troubles

Thanks Sky,

I thought it might be the screened in porch, but once I opened the door I thought that would solve my problems, guess not. I'll have to give it another shot when I can try it away...

CMOS camera troubles

Hi All,

RE: Civil War reenactment filming with Draganfly?

Pretty awesome footage at the very end there when the cannon is going off!! Good work. I noticed once in a while some of the people will look up at the DF but most of the people don't even glance.......

RE: High School Football Game Aerials

It is definately a magnet. I've flown about 5 or 6 times at a little park down the road from me next to a river. There is a walking/biking trail. I would say 75% of people that try to bike or walk...
