Is this about a specific software suite? If so, should product support be on topic? – AEhere supports Monica 18 hours ago
Angle/horizon flight modes are common features between most multirotor FC firmwares... MultiWii, Baseflght, Cleanflight, Betaflight, etc. – ifconfig 3 hours ago

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?

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 18 hours ago

What is the ideal all up weight for a 6s freestyle quad with a GoPro?
added by AdamSpadam yesterday
link|flag
Probably opinion-based (?) – AEhere supports Monica 18 hours ago
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 3 hours ago

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 yesterday
link|flag
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 18 hours ago
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 3 hours ago

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 2 days ago
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 2 days ago

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 2 days ago

What brand of leaded solder has the properties suited for drone building?

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 yesterday

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.
