Is this really a question about Drones and Model Aviation? – Nike Dattani Dec 10 '19 at 21:01

I think it's rather relevant to this topic. – ifconfig Dec 10 '19 at 21:39

closed as duplicate of What is parallel charging and what do you need to know to do it safely? by Robert Cartaino Dec 10 '19 at 21:21

This question covers exactly the same ground as another question in this proposal.

This proposal is about to undergo a Final Review, so while this may not technically be closed as an "exact duplicate" on the actual site, for the purpose of evaluating the scope of this proposal, combining example questions which cover much the same subject space helps assure we have a sufficient breadth of subject matter to continue. This is how I present the strongest possible case for creating this site. – Robert Cartaino Dec 10 '19 at 21:23

How do I setup a GPS in Betaflight?

Sounds like something specific to Betaflight. Should product support be on-topic? – AEhere supports Monica Dec 11 '19 at 9:00

What's the difference between Angle Mode and Horizon Mode?
added by user206363 Dec 11 '19 at 8:11
link
Is this about a specific software suite? If so, should product support be on topic? – AEhere supports Monica Dec 11 '19 at 8:50
Angle/horizon flight modes are common features between most multirotor FC firmwares... MultiWii, Baseflght, Cleanflight, Betaflight, etc. – ifconfig Dec 11 '19 at 23:48

In Betaflight you can change the PID profile depending on the battery cell count. But can you limit the motor output depending on cell count?

Where can I learn more about current drone regulations in my country?
added by 5zero7rc Dec 10 '19 at 5:10

Potentially a resource location question, prone to link rot. It would be improved if it asked directly about the regulations or about which regulatory body to contact for clarifications. – AEhere supports Monica Dec 11 '19 at 8:55

What is the ideal all up weight for a 6s freestyle quad with a GoPro?
added by AdamSpadam Dec 10 '19 at 7:18
link
Probably opinion-based (?) – AEhere supports Monica Dec 11 '19 at 8:54
Likely, but if reworded to clarify intent, it could be alluding to an analysis of available motors, props, etc. to gain max thrust to weight ratio. – ifconfig Dec 11 '19 at 23:52

What is the best, easy to understand chart that shows all the FPV frequencies, channels, and bands in the 5.8ghz range?
added by 5zero7rc Dec 10 '19 at 18:34
link
Opinion-based and thus not a good question. Spectrum allocation also varies by country. This could be improved by dropping the subjective "best" qualifier and asking about the bands in a specific locale. – AEhere supports Monica Dec 11 '19 at 9:02

I think this is more objective than you realize. Maybe the wording is sub-par, but it alludes to a factual question. Regulatory frequency allocation may vary, but those supported by FPV gear often doesn't. There are very specific bands and channels set by manufacturers to discuss. – ifconfig Dec 11 '19 at 23:51

This question does not relate to the topic of the proposal.

I believe this question often relates to the topic. Far too often. – Newby FPV Dec 10 '19 at 1:49

Yes, it is a great question, but it isn't exactly a question that can be answered properly in a Q/A format, especially without more details. I think this would be better for Reddit. – ifconfig Dec 10 '19 at 1:55

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form.

A great question to offer suggestions on how to find fellow hobbyists? – Newby FPV Dec 10 '19 at 1:51

What brand of leaded solder has the properties suited for drone building?
added by Vidar Dec 10 '19 at 10:52

Both a resource location question and opinion-based, this is usually considered a poor fit. This could be rephrased to ask what objective properties to look for in solder. – AEhere supports Monica Dec 10 '19 at 13:46

closed as not constructive by Henry WH Hack v3.0a, Robert Cartaino Dec 10 '19 at 21:18

This question is not a good fit to our Q&A format. We expect answers to generally involve facts, references, or specific expertise; this question will likely solicit opinion, debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion.
