Thanks for the heads up! First time traveling with my quad, and now I'll be in compliance. Cheers!
Great video! Thank you guys for sharing your info and tips. Please keep them coming.
LOVED it please keep up the awesome videos. Traveler's guides like this are the reason I subscribe.
Thanks for this! About to travel with mine for the first time and its great to have this information.
Thanks guys. This has actually been one of my biggest queries, and well answered in good detail. 👍🏻
Thank you so much guys. This video answered my questions.
Great information here thank you to the requester and thank you for the video. traveling soon and was looking into this.
Great PSA! I like the balance between informational videos and FPV shenanigans. Keep it up!
Been waiting for this for a while! I figured some of this stuff reading around in the depths of the internet, but it's cool to learn a bit more and have confirmations! :) Keep it up guys! :D
Thank you guys for the information. This was very helpful. Please keep it up. Love the racing videos.
Great video guys, I'm going abroad soon and hoping to bring my quad so this is very useful for me!
fantastic information Guys!! keep up the good work and love the channel :)
great episode I've wanted to take my quad abroad for ages ,hopefully this will inspire me as would like to come watch you guys at the f3expo later this year.
Good video, very knowledgable of the TSA guidelines. Being Ex-TSA you guys did a very good job about informing the public about the powers of packing properly. Just make sure you're not late. It is recommended to arrive 2-3 hours early because with lipo's and new screeners your bag will be checked. Alot of us have seen these and determine what is good or not but best not to take chances and let the screener do their job. The rules are the rules and they are just their to inform them. If you have an issue you can always make it known in several ways look it up :) Thank you guys for the awesome video tho, it is very much appreciated that you are trying to make it easier on the public and the officers!
a simple guide on gopro settings ie best settings for miniquad, maybe editing tips so the guys out there can achieve good vids for youtube, many thanks great episode.
A stunts and freestyle video? On youtube the most common stunts include rolls and front/back flips and when flying FPV, these are pretty simple to get the hang of. But there are some reeeeally cool things that stand out, like keeping the cam pointing at a tree while going over it and flying down the sides of towers/buildings. How do you go about doing these? What is going through your minds while executing these manoeuvres? Limitations comparison between FPV and LOS freestyle? What else is possible (open air or involving objects)? What's your favourite move? Hope this poses as a good video idea!
Thank You! Great advice.
Good advice guys and accurate of course. Interestingly, I'm getting less and less attention from security as time goes by. I guess they're getting used to lipos too. Taking them out and even letting them know that they're batteries before they get scanned helps a lot in my experience.
Always helpful. nice episode !
Great video guys! Very useful!
A video on vtx, vrx and antennas would be cool. so many hard to know what to get, and what works with what. great videos keep it up!!!
Great advice, I was wondering about this issue just the other day.
Good Traveling Tips! Thanks.
You guys are great!
Can you guys do a little explanation of the electronics setup(i mean the calculations of ecu amp motors amp and batery!) please?
You guys are awesome! Thanks for the info.
very useful as I'm flying to Europe tomorrow! Thanks!
Nice video, very helpfull. If possible please do a video on tuning apm 2.8 to have a flight as stable as with NAZA.
I was actually just wondering about this as I will be taking a trip at the end of the month. RIOT ON!
Over FliteFest 2014 I had a great tip from a TSA agent who was so nice and helpful basically she told me exactly what Mr Steel said, always put the batteries at a separate bin and make sure they are the last bin so in the mean time you pick up the rest of your stuff. Also be nice to the people and explain what you are caring if you are asked! They are doing their job and not every single one of the TSA agents are bad people! (remember they are people!).
Cheers!
Ed
+rifted Well said, I've only had a bad experience with TSA twice now out of hundreds of times now which is very good.
A very helpful episode guys!
Love the video!! You guys should talk about FPV setups and radio frequencies, channels and mW output power and what is/isn't allowed. I think ive gotten all of the information i need to get into FPV, i just don't want to loose my quad whether it be because i used the wrong channel for my area or not having a license for a specific frequency or whatever else shenanigans there is to do with that. As you can probably tell i'm a little confused about all this.
+DaBobaNation Yeah i would love to see something like that as well. I think the license thing doesn't apply to the FPV world thoughyou never will have a transmitter that high of current. I could be wrong. Rotor Riot PLZ
Yep, I want that too, especially something about mW and transmitters. Diversity too perhaps.
Great episode. Top job!
Great video" Much interesitng informations!Thank you!
Could you guys do a video on how to pick the core electronics for a new miniquad and how to make sure they're compatible? Primarily Flight controller, ESC's, motors and batteries? I've seen tons of build videos where they tell you which ones to get but not how to decide which ones to get in the first place.
thanks for the info
can you guys do an episode on motors and selecting the right esc/motor/prop combo? thanks
Very informative video. Thanks.
Great vid and good to see you guys giving such sensible info. Given Chad is from Aus it would be good to get some perspective on the rules for flying with LiPo batteries here?
great info, thanks chaps!
At the beginning lol
When you come all the way from Sweden to help out but the squad still roasts you
Hey, great video! Could your next one be on cameras? Mounting, settings, etc. Keep up the great work!
Useful episode, Chad and Steele! Airport security essentially treat LiPos like laptops. Keep 'em in a padded case, remove them from your backpack, run 'em through x-ray in a separate bin, and you'll be AOK. :)
awesome info thanks guy's.
Yo guys!
Would like to see an episode on action cams. Ex. The different GoPro's, vs runcam/mobius, Yiaomi yi with superview and higher bitrate mod.
What you guys fly with, and why, and what your opinions are on the others.
I for one, have wanted to use a GoPro for so long, but due to the high prices and the fact that you often break actioncams, i haven't bought one (yet). Would like to see you testing these out and comparing them.
Love your work !
I flew to Alaska and WY 8 years ago with a ton of lipos for my DIY AP rig and TSA was fine. Just had to swab them for explosives
Have to be carry on.
YAY!!!! This was my question!!!
Nice vid. Can you do a short video about waterproofing the quad ?
Another ideea is a tutorial how to start and organize a race .
you guys should do a video on what parts to buy for a new pilot, like what things to look for and what NOT to buy
Hi guys, loving the vids, great info on carrying lipos and to add to this wealth of info i'm hoping Chad in particular can answer a very Australian question,
Due to the very strict immigration into Australia do you give your quad a serious clean to remove all mud/grass/dirt etc before coming back from another country flying? as I know even shoes can be confiscated if too dirty when coming into Australia so i'm a bit concerned, I really don't want my quad being confiscated when coming into Brisbane airport, Cheers guys and keep up the awesome series :)
I've got a lot of different answers on how to mount my receiver antenna wires on my quad. An in-depth discussion on receiver antenna wire placement on mini quads would be great.
+Dieter Woerz at 90degrees to each other and keep in mind that CF blocks RF... Keep them away from props and any sources of power the tip can short on... Any thin nylon tube is great to stick the wires in then fix to the quad frame Or zip ties and heat shrink the antenna to them. That's all you need to know.
wicked video just what I need to know thanks 😆
hey if you guys could do a video about FAA regulations like licensing and regulations/ registrations for fpv and what kinds of systems/rc you can operate without having any of the before mentioned that would be great. I'm 16 and am a newish pilot and dont quite understand all of the rules and everything and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Thanks for making each show too!! I've learned alot from your guy's channel!
I would like to see a beginners guide on rates, rc rates, rc expo as well as min command/ min throttle all with differences between cleanflight and kissfc (and others?)? I have a generall understanding of these but im always not completely certain what they do and how they work. Thanks
Good looking out guys!!!!!!!!! Hopefully everyone practices these safe tips when you all come to Hawaii later this year, WOOOHOOOO!! Let's do some hiking!!!
I would love to see a video on setup and small tips and tricks on building. being a beginner the hardest part for me I seeing videos of quads that work great but never getting it right myself :-P I have tried to make my motors never shut off and I have been fiddling with my pods for ever but never get it right. I files one thing and get another problem...
Hey guys!!
Great video as allways :)
But what about the batterycharger and power supply? Do you check it or carry it onboard?
/Matt
In Australia the rules are up to 100Wh per battery, carry on and as many as reasonable for their use. But considering a 1300 4s lipo is around 12Wh we can carry as many as we need.
Very good tips guys! Also, in the US you can also go through the process to get a TSA Known Traveler ID (Takes a few minutes at a TSA affiliated station, you get fingerprinted and pay $85.00 but it is good for 5 years) which in most large airports will put you in a very short line (really nice) you will get treated almost like a VIP and not have to remove your shoes, etc. If they inspect the batteries it will be a quicker process all around and you will not be holding up a large line of cranky travelers. Known Traveler ID is just a good idea if you are going to fly regularly. I believe it is US citizens only....so sorry Chad!

Investigation into the effects of overpropping and underpropping (burning out motors/ESCs/no thrust etc.). Use a thrust stand for some 'stats and figures'. Make a point to read item descriptions carefully, so the motors aren't over/under propped etc. How to tell if you've over/under propped, so heat of the motor/ meeting puff the magic dragon/ felling less power then the motor description said... Would be really good if you could do this!
YAYYY another episode!!!
Im curious as to why you pick one component over another in your personal quads. Why choose naze over dodo, why one motor over another? Just curious what the big selling points were on the parts you like to use. (receivers I think you went over a little bit in the Taranis video, that was nice)
What camera lenses do you guys run? Trying to see what kind of lens for my board camera and im looking at different lenses with different fields of view 90, 130,180 ect. Might make for a good quick video showing each one and how they look. Thanks!
nice video hey what bag is that for the controller? the grey one?
How about something on roll rates/expo in general, and expo on the flight controller vs the radio.
Man I've been waiting for this video
Awesome video, as always. I'm about to open up a new US Store (posting with my personal account so it doesn't look like marketing :P) and I've been gathering a LOT of data from folks in my area that are interested in the whole FPV racing and Freestyle thing. One thing that keeps coming up around here is people asking about how to make the quad 'do' some of the things they see in the videos... i.e. tricks.
Even simple things like weaving side to side while moving forward can be elusive to the new flyer and some tips and tricks on quad control would be huge. I've debated making some videos of my own, to that end, but frankly, I'm not that good yet.
The format I considered was to show some 201 level control, things like turning a flip into a loop, or a roll into a spiral. Even yaw flat spins. There are some good videos on racing and fine control, but very few on freestyle.
The other idea I had for a video that I think you guys would knock out of the park is the differences between setting up a quad for racing and setting it up for freestyle. There are some important component selections that will change between the two types of flying and if you just go read the forums and reddit, etc, you'll end up with a mishmash that doesn't really cater to either flying style specifically.
I love y'alls work. I hope I can meet you all one day and tell Mr. Steele not to worry, my mustache is gone now so he won't have to deal with any mustache shame ;)
can you guys make a video about motors size and maybe esc's
Woah! David was helping with Rotor Riot? I guess there was some sharing with Flite test crew and Rotor Riot (Chad Kapper being a part of both if you saw the earlier vids of Flite Test)
Awesome!!!
Can you guys make a video explaining how you go about cleaning a multirotor, and also are the motors suppose to not feel smooth after they have been flown with a couple of times?
+Inteous FPV air compressor every time :)
+MTL Racing good idea!
I'd love to see if you guy's could come up with some sort of sport/game to play with multi rotors, maybe something like real life quidditch. something I'm trying soon is attaching pin to my quad to see if I can catch and pop helium bloons in the air.
Cool idea!
Estos vídeos son muy útiles. El padre de Chad me respondió una pregunta sobre el transporte de lipos por Facebook. Muy bien que hicieran un capítulo al respecto.
Can you guys please make video On the FPV equipment you guys use and recommend? At the moment I am trying to decide if I should get the Dominator HD V2 or the Dominator V3 I have heard good and bad about both but with a $200 price difference it’s hard to believe that the HD's would not be way better.
I am not sure if you have a video on flying regulations and licenses, but that would be good to know as well.
a Video about Motor specs would be nice. find the right motor for the quad. 2204, 2206, 1806, what is the difference, etc.
Hey Rotor Riot, I was wondering if you guys could do a full tutorial starter guide for noobs like me who would want to learn how to fly racer quads.
I love quadcopters and it's nice that Dubstep found a home
What do you guys think about the RTF Qav quads.
Are they worth getting instead of Vortex etc
traveling soon! thrird!
Quick question, Do you carry them at storage charge? Also do you bring your charger with you and do you check your charger or carry on in backpack? Thanks again for the great video!
+Thomas Lazette Storage charge is a good idea but not regulated. I check my charger with my luggage
Love the videos! but would be fun to see the guys use the other RC planes we see in this room! like race them with the quad!
+Pagna Flite Test does that all the time :)
+Rotor Riot ok but it's more fun with the rotor riot team :p
I've been looking to move away from larger FPV's and moving to mini-quads. Where would you guys recommend I start looking at in terms of parts for building one? Any information is helpful.
A good lipo sack is the one from TBS, it has the IATA regulation printed on it.
I flew last year internationally and didn't once have a issue.
Would you guys do a tinywoop or fpv pico quadrace (ratemode)?
Thanks for this! I am flying to France and the airline is a Max of 2 spare lipo's. Seems like a lot of recharging to be done :(
PID tuning would be a nice vid.
+undermine28 How would you like to see the subject approached?
+Rotor Riot I get the theory behind it and there are a fair good few vids that do a good job explaining. I would personally enjoy a practical guide and how you can make it easier for yourself. eg bring a laptop to the field or hover in your yard. just an idea though. I finally got my zmr250 to work reliable and am now looking at finally tuning it and I'm not sure where to start
+Rotor Riot A very basic rundown would be cool, Like +undermine28 says there is loads of videos that explain the theory but not a lot for getting started. Some show and tell would be rad i.e. if your qwad does like this (show clip) you should look at this PID / start here, and so on. If that makes any sense.
Where did you get that TX box Chad?
Keep up the good work guys.
Crash Overrride
+Crash Override Steele has a nice "Howto" - PID video in his channel; (i watched it and understand why PID Tuning Howto Videos could not work)
Alright Ill take a look, I'm still interested in a Rotor Riot version though.
Hi, If I carry battery for my electric scooter inside check-in baggage if they discover they going to take it off from my bag or best to carry in hand. what is process. Please thank you.
would yo recommend taping road Flair's to the batteries?
Does anyone know where you could get a VTX antenna connector? Because I crashed my quad and the part that connects the transmitter to the antenna broke off the whole thing.
I live in middle east and I tend to fly and land my quad on soft sand .. any method you can propose to sand- proof my motor
?
Mr. Steele, I see that you have glasses. Are you using an insert from FatShark to help with seeing the image? I am very near sighted and things aren't clear until about two inches from my eyes. I am looking for options so I can fly FPV.
Love the Alien RR5 guys, nice price as well
Thanks for the info. Is there any potential danger if a battery has minor damage and you do not realize it before takeoff?. I'm guessing the nature of this question would make it a "yes" for liability sake. Check your batteries, would be my guess.
How and where do you store the lipos in your home?
Can you do a video showing all the bags you have? (All the members of rotor riot if you can) thx :)
Can you review the Walkera F210 quad please?
What kind of transmitter case was that in the video?
Hey guys, I am dying to hear what Umma Gawd has to say about his special version of the vortex pro by ImmersionRC! Also, what setups do each one of you fly the most? (I.e. Frame, flight controller, motors, batteries, ext...)
Thanks so far! I am loving all of the multi rotor stuff!
Chad,
Can you please make a detailed video with KISS FC Rates? I'm having a hard time understanding how it all works
