JJRC H20 Nano Hexacopter review - supplied by Banggood
Banggood sent me out this little hex to review, and I must say it's a lot of fun. Though this is an inexpensive toy that obviously doesn't compare to a "proper" rc multi, it's just awesome to fly around, sharpen up your LOS flying (I certainly need it) and find silly gaps in your house/garden to go through.
We've already got the tiny Cheerson and Hubsan mini quads in the house, and this one is definitely the most stable and resilient so far.

Since the cows ate some of my little TX03, I decided to take a look at the attached VTX board and see if it would run on it's own. It's an easy conversion and seems fine.
My TX03 came from Banggood (affiliate links used) -

As it turns out, I don't know an awful lot about electronics, but I'd like to learn more. I wanted to try out an Oscilloscope to look at signals that different things would produce and so I thought this little inexpensive and ready-to-go scope would be worth a look. However, I'm still a beginner in learning exactly what I can do with one, so bear with me :)

Hello and welcome to a new series about using your OpenTX radio. In this first part, we'll deal with the pretty simple parts of some initial setup and how to get your SD card populated and installed.
I decided to make a series on OpenTX after some feedback from people saying they found OpenTX difficult to deal with - especially if they'd come from another type of radio. I do also get a lot of questions about how certain things are done, so why not make a bunch of tutorials that explain it all. I have a bunch more planned, but if there's something specific you'd like to see and have me cover, then please pop it in a comment down below and I'll do my best to include it.

We went out to range test, and succeeded in finding a horrible RF interference area and also how easy it is to become disorientated !
I think the little TX03 did ok though. There looks to be a few more speckles on the video at 25mw, but it went out to 500m+ without any hassle. Quite how far it could get I'm not sure !
I bought mine from Banggood, and so the (affiliate) link is here -

This is a video response to Lorf's Challenge #1 - Axelay which you can see at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSKc5dD0l_8
The idea is simple, the SNES game Axelay on normal difficulty and one life, who can get the highest score.
You'll see from the clip that I sadly don't have Axelay on the SNES, so I used my Xbox and the xSnes9x emulator for this one. The result was that I was a bit rubbish.. although the idea was that this was my first playthrough - I did actually have one try at the game first to make sure I understood which buttons did what, and then on the second attempt found out I hadn't hit the record button... so this is actually my 3rd attempt at playing.
I have to say when Lorf played it, it did look quite easy, and I thought he was just a bit crap at it, but hats off to him, I found the game pretty tough going... I'll look out for this one to pick up as a proper cart - it's a nice shooter and I'm lacking in them on my SNES. So my final score is 23970... can you do better !?

I've had a look at a few robot car kits, but they mostly use Arduino boards for the car's "brain". This time I'm using the far more powerful Raspberry Pi 4. Let's check out what that extra computational power can do.

This quad scared me to death flying in my garden, so I was very pleased to get it out into a more open space - giving me the opportunity to frighten more of the wildlife within a few miles. Let's take a look at how it performed.
Once again (this might become the norm) I've rendered this out in 4k even though all the footage was 1080p. If you watch it on YouTube in 4k it looks more like what the actual 1080p footage looks like. Even if you don't have a 4k monitor, if you watch it on 4k it'll still look better !
This quad was originally supplied by Banggood for review, so please use this (affiliate) link to take a look at the full product details https://www.banggood.com/IFlight-Green-Hornet-3Inch-CineWhoop-4S-FPV-Racing-RC-Drone-SucceX-E-Mini-F4-Caddx-EOS2-p-1634131.html?p=E81211714085201408XQ&utm_source=Youtube&utm_medium=cussku&utm_content=tanghao&utm_campaign=wayne
Really, the quad should have come with a GoPro mount as well, but you can at least get one that fits (which is better than the regular sticky mount I used. This one also includes an ND8 filter https://www.banggood.com/IFlight-Green-Hornet-FPV-Racing-Drone-3D-Printed-TPU-Camera-Mount-for-Gopro-Hero-5-6-7-p-1658656.html?p=E81211714085201408XQ&utm_source=Youtube&utm_medium=cussku&utm_content=tanghao&utm_campaign=wayne

I was really impressed reading the spec of the LAL5. They'd got a Tarsier onto a 5" quad and added a bluetooth interface for using the SpeedyBee app. Time to check out my first proper 6S quad.
This quad was kindly supplied by Banggood for review, so please use this (affiliate) link to take a look at the full product details https://www.banggood.com/Eachine-LAL5-225mm-5-Inch-4K-6S-FPV-Racing-Drone-PNP-F405-Bluetooth-FC-Caddx-Tarsier-V2-Cam-2507-1850KV-50A-Blheli_32-3-6S-5_8Ghz-25-800mW-VTX-p-1573417.html?p=E81211714085201408XQ&utm_source=Youtube&utm_medium=cussku&utm_content=tanghao&utm_campaign=wayne
There's a coupon code to try for this quad, use: BGLAL5 for 10% off
You might also want to take a look at the Nazgul (in 4S or 6S) as a possible alternative https://www.banggood.com/IFlight-Nazgul5-227mm-4S-5-Inch-FPV-Racing-Drone-BNFPNP-SucceX-E-F4-Caddx-Ratel-Camera-45A-BLheli_S-ESC-2207-2750KV-Motor-p-1529741.html?p=E81211714085201408XQ&utm_source=Youtube&utm_medium=cussku&utm_content=tanghao&utm_campaign=wayne
