So today I mounted up the motorcycle with all the RC gear and drove to SCORCH. About half way there I hit a fog bank and it was so thick that I couldnt see more than 100' in front of me. So I kept driving hoping for it to turn out nicer. As it turns out, the sun came out and became a beautiful flying day.
I got the 280 in the air and its a blast to fly! Its a handful at the very least but its fun to play with. The camera on the other hand is crappy. Its a 700 line but it cant control the contrast so when you fly anywhere towards the sun everything becomes black and you have to pray you dont crash. Gotta fix that soon.
As for the 550 hex, I just ended up removing the gimbal and hard mounting the GoPro to the front in between the two front arms. While I can no longer get the beautiful sweeping AP shots, I can play with the F550 harder than it was meant to do. So some FFF and a couple of backflips and front flips and I was happy again.
As for the dominators, I have to contact fat shark tomorrow about them. They are less than 6 months, only used a dozen or so times. Never dropped, always taken care of and like I said, only turned on less than a dozen times. The problem is that when you plug them in, all I see is solid colors that shift and end up at a green screen. No static, no changing channels, nothing. The battery is at full charge, the rx is plugged in, the antenna is screwed on solid. Couldn't figure it out by myself so Ill call them tomorrow and hope they can fix it.
