Wonderful world of FPV (First Person View) flying is simply a fascinating hobby and the simplest and safest way to make your flying dream come true.

How do I solder 2 connectors from one battery?

[alishanmao]

@ScooterEngan1 very easy. take the same diameter / gauge wire. Say your battery wires are 14awg or 16awg, use same size wires. Cut the battery wire naked just 1mm or 2mm. Make sure to do that one by one cuz if naked red and black touched there will be a spark and they can explode the battery. solder Red to red and black to black and install any connector you like.

do i have to use a ground station or can i just use the goggles?

[alishanmao]

@mrbumblesquat goggles are best to start with

Have you tried the JXD monitor with the Nova OSD? Do you also see text being cut because it cannot re-orient the screen?

[alishanmao]

@pajonate yes most of the info is cut out

[CRIMlNAL]

@alishanmao i like that small screen monitor. what brand name and description of that monitor?

[bmschulman]

Note that Trappy, among others, disagrees with the advice that two batteries are better than one (or that two provide any level of redundancy). There is a heated and very interesting discussion on Rcgroups about this point and it is far from conclusive. The second battery introduces a second point of failure, among other things.

What is the name of your monitor with built in recording??
