    Bebop 2 chargers and props

    I have an OEM single battery charger and a YX triple "balance charger"? that came with my used drone. Both do work. I use a SkyRc charger with 6 position board. Make a decent offer - live in Rockford IL. Shipping cost maybe higher than retail cost. I'll throw in 12 props (came with 34)

    I hit a fence with the front legs (2" extensions?), bounced / tilted forward and died - sensed a collision? - 3-D printed legs came with drone. Took off props, iniated take off, tilted quickly, stopped before reached 90 deg.

    4,000Mah from Walmart

    Saw that Walmart has 4,000 mAh GiFi batteries for $19.99 , ordered 4 with tax and donation comes to $87.00 USD. Paid with credit card as assurance of quality. Will test via discharge to 3.71 V = 30%V - balance charge using SkyRc to see mAh were inputted. Hover fly until "low voltage" warning...

    DIY sunscreen

    Was a non-degreed industrial designer - still tinker. Didn't get sunshade with drone so decided to make my own. Used those waffle boards politicians put in yards. Took 3 attempts but works fine and fits in case lid. Total cost $1? Cut only one layer of skin to make folding joint. If cracks, use...

    How does "return to home" work

    Never do that again. I know , been there done that, lost some skin. If you must, firmly grab body underneath and quickly tilt drone 90 degrees, nose down. Must sure firm grip, it won't like it, gyroscopic effect. The sudden movement should trigger "motor stop"

    GiFi battery vs others

    Received 3 batteries with the used drone - 2 are just about dead - the final one would work with controller (less drain) - looking at the 4000MaH from Amazon ($55 ) is the almost 50% price increase worth it? I know the El cheapos all lie. If not GiFi any recommendations?

    Charging cable mod to use SkyRc charger

    I did the cable mod so I could balance charge using my SkyRC charger. Bought 4 cables for about $12 and 10 T-60 plug sets for $4.00 (in Philippines). All the vids show using existing wires but since I'm not that great at soldering I modified the battery end plug so I could get at the flat leads...

    Mad Catz controller works with Bebop2

    My black controller won't linc with phone / tablet (no WiFi). Flypad hard to get. Bought a Mad Catz C.T.R.L.R. (Android)- works - not all the features of black and limited range, but for how I fly perfect. Problem is controller phone holder too small for my tablet. Made a transition block out...

    Propellers screws very tight

    Just got back to US, was going to fly for 1st time, tried to remove props to avoid crashes, very very difficult to move props and when I do get heads aligned will not come off. Anyone else have this problem? Considering cutting them off - have many spares - and losening the screws maybe 1/4 turn.
