    5.8Ghz power levels in the UK

    Due to what I do I get to see a lot of different multi-rotors and I know of only one that uses 25mW video TX (ie mine) all of the others I have seen use power way over this- a classic device being the DJI video TX/RX AVL58. What I wanted to do was to find out the definitive answer of what is...

    Odd log from iOSD

    I have just installed some Tiger M4014-9 400kv motors onto my Octo along with the Tiger 15x5 carbon props using a 6s setup. I thought I would look at my iOSD logs to see how it was performing. What I noticed was that motors 1,3,5 and 7 were all revving the same but at a level above 2,4,6 and 8...

    Forced to upgrade firmware WTH!

    I just plugged in my WKM which has firmware 5.20 on it. The software now wont let me make any changes unless I upgrade to 5.22. This is bad news as we should be allowed to choose when we update our firmware. The reason I do not want to upgrade to 5.22 is that the return to home function isnt...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Skyjiv V2 problem fitting Cinestar 3 axis gimbal

    Okay, I am probably doing something really bone here. I am trying to fit a Cinestar 3 axis gimbal under a Skyjib v2 with the retractable landing gear. The problem is that the gear seems far to narrow when down and the gimbal just simply doesn't fit between the legs. Any ideas anyone?

    Propellar pitch

    I'm just curious as to what people use to calculate what prop is the best match for their particular motor. There is quite a bit out there for aircraft but is there anything specific to multirotors as the requirements are a touch different as I understand it.

    Power distribution on a heavy lift rig

    My rig is using 8x Axi 4120/20s that peak at 50A each ie the system could spike at up to 400A. That's quite a current! My question is this- what are people's thoughts on the distribution system? (I will be using 2x 5s 11000mAh batteries in parallel) I have seen the PowerHungry distribution...
