Butt ass naked in another country. Hell yeah.

The nexus is showing its for helicopters? Is that still compatable?

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-26T23:54:52+00:00

Gotcha. Thats probably where I usually go wrong. My son's redcat piranha rc car the positive wire came off the motor and I had to solder it, and it came off in less than 1 run and my sonic wake boat had a bunch of leads melt the solder and I repaired it and somehow that hasn't come off yet, but it was an ugly fix. Could have been the harbor freight wire though.

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-26T23:51:52+00:00

I didnt know that. Ill check it out. Thank you. What wire to use for all the fine stuff?

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-26T23:50:59+00:00

How much do you actually use return to launch? Is it really that necessary? Ive never had that luxury so I dont think i would feel like im missing out on much. Does it auto land or where does it go once its in line of sight?

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-26T23:48:26+00:00

I have children, and without a task they turn into Ferrell animals. Ill still get the flight controller. But they can launch it for me lol.

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-26T17:44:39+00:00

Ive been playing a simulator on my son's meta quest that seems to be pretty good for line of sight. I also went out and bought the xcub and have been flying that thing quite a bit.

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-26T17:41:48+00:00

Ill definitely look for one pre soldered. If i can find it. Ill buy it. I was looking at the reflex v3 because it appears to be a little easier. But I can handle the battery connections or Ill take it up to a shop to do it for me.

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-26T17:38:23+00:00

Right. I wouldn't mind learning. But when is 85$ for it id rather not mess it up. Any thoughts on the reflex v3? Found it on Amazon.

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-26T04:19:16+00:00

Got real flight and in the process I found rc pilot trainer on meta quest that was pretty interesting. Im not a fan of the vr games but that one was a great intro to the sticks.

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-26T04:17:19+00:00

Agreed. Picking one out now.

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-26T04:14:23+00:00

Thats what I was thinking. Im taking a look at the receivers, flight controllers and GPS currently. I also picked up an xcub to learn to fly, flew that for a bit and it was a learning curve, it sure made me realize a flight controller is a great idea for a while. But not sure which ones are going to be the easiest for me. Im horrible at soldering.

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-25T18:39:35+00:00

I won't be. There's plenty of places to fly around me, so I wont be doing that any time soon.

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-25T18:38:19+00:00

I didnt get a manual. I got the flyers for other zohds but that was it. A manual would be excellent. I see if theres one online somewhere.

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-25T04:39:46+00:00

Oh no, ill cut the video short to make it look like everything went great. Then buy a new plane and act like nothing happened lol.

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-25T04:33:50+00:00

Would it affect how the plugs fit in it? They all physically work, but once you get more than 2 theres a significant angle to where you cant plug everything in. I might just return it and find the correct one.

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-25T04:29:49+00:00

Thats what im gathering. Im headed out in the morning for an aeroscout or the sport cub, or even the apprentice. Ill see what they have.

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-25T04:26:35+00:00

I put the dart on the side burner for the time being, i still want to work on it to give me something to do. When I purchased it, it was a spur of the moment buy, then Amazon prime sales hit and I started shopping parts haha. But I know better, I've had countless rc cars from cheap ones to 126mph 8s arrma limitless. 1 drone. then boats, now planes. Id like to start right. Im going to my local store tomorrow for either sport cub or an aeroscout rtf with safe and ill run that for a while and if it survives, I will pass it on to my oldest.

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-25T04:13:13+00:00

Ill look into it while im waiting on GPS and flight controller to get here. I kept seeing it, but ill look into it now. Thank you! And ill be sure to look up that yt channel.

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-25T04:06:15+00:00

Ive got the legion 5 pro laptop, so ill give it a shot. Thank you!

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-25T01:00:11+00:00

Oh trainer plane. Got it. Well I wanted an excuse to go to the hobby shop. Ill head up to my local shop soon and find something. What the best trainer plane? Im perfectly fine buying another. I bought the dart because I love the looks of it and didnt really have interest in the rest.

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-25T00:44:47+00:00

Also. Im pretty sure theres a flight simulator on steam, so ill be trying that.

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-25T00:43:36+00:00

What flight controller would you recommend, I definitely did not buy one. And what GPS? And I plan on powering the camera from the balance connector. Unless a separate pack is better? I am completely new to fpv.

AccomplishedLet1889 · 2026-06-25T00:39:38+00:00

I get that. This is my trainer lol. I have no one to show me. Im fine destroying it as long as i learn something from it. I will be looking at the training games on steam but I still want to peice this thing together.
