Just wondering if anyone have had any of the follow flight characteristics take place during flight. If so what did they find as the fix. I have a heavy Oct 1000mm with 4014 motors, I am still trying to figure out the gains, but during flight every once in a while one of two things may take...

Looking to see if any one have any ideas, I was flight my copter for a few minutes doing a gimbal test when I landed it to adjust the camera setting. When I stepped back to restart the copter m2 motor cranked up and totally flipped the copter. I am puzzled only because I have been flying the...

This was a real cool use of a hexa http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=eGimzB5QM1M This is a bunch of when things go wrong vid, you can see some seriously costing copters going down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkpegCf44AY&feature=player_detailpage Just another...

I figure I would start this post about my tarot frame I recently got. For Father's Day my wife asked I would like, of course it was multirotor related and since I was not happy with my past F550 conversion to 800mm build, I asked for the Tarot T810. Not that my F550/800 was not a good frame, I...

Why is it other then DJI and maybe a few others that these companies making frames, do they not seem to concentrate on esc placements. I have not built 5 copters and other then (dare I say it) xaircraft and DJI (s800) all my copters I had to figure out where and how to place the ESC in a...

Here is the result of my Tarot copter second flight with full gimbal system operating. There is some post production only with exposure becuase the lighting went to heck right as I was lifting off. Stability is not perfect however I was happy with the result. The video has not post...

I have a tarrot 1000 frame with Tiger Navigator series 330KV, 14 inch graupner props . Nothing underneath the copter like a gimbal for weight. I am interested in hearing what people out there my be doing for numbers like over all gains, IMU z numbers and IMU placement. When I took it off...

I know I may be re writing or asking something from a previously post that has been tapped about. Some where in the last day I have come across on the net a post where WK-M is not really set up well for OCTO's but it works best for Quads. So in the post the person Y connected out M1 through M4...

Basically, I am in the middle of building my heavy lift Octo, and when I mounted my new motor the power cables are coming up about two inches short of what I need. In the past I have read some stuff on the web concerning the length of motor power leads and that the can cause some problems. If...

this is the start of the build thread and the images are coming from a post I put on the general multirotor discussion section the other day. Over all I am in the midst of putting it all together, I have most of the components, and now its just a matter of laying it out. To begin I am very...

For a while I have been debating on moving to a bigger copter so I can have something to accommodate larger payloads and better cameras. I have been thinking about the CS6 and started looking up stuff, when I came across a post talking about this Tarot frame and saying it was a lot like a cs8 to...

I have a hexa, built it in November, and have been flying it, I would not say it has a lot of time, I am around 10 hours - 50 flights, the motors are Tiger 3515's, esc's are Maytech 40amp opti's not bec (power pin pulled to the flight controller on all ESC's) , and the flight controller is a...

Hey Guys I am in the middle of putting together a build for an Octo and as I am trying to figure out what motors to use I am questioning which direction to go between the two. I am interested in hearing any opinions out here between the 4014 330kv and 400kv. I understand the different of...

New Hoverfly Gimbal, I got it about a month ago, flown with it about ten times, works fine nothing wrong I wanted to see what is was about and how it worked. In the long run its not my cup of tea and I am going in another direction. I am asking $335, it includes gimbal and all the parts it...

Any one know anything about these frames, if so tap in I am interested in hearing about vibration, and results. They are both foldable and in the past what I have seen in the foldable frames is the lack of support on the arm area. thanks Jack

I am lookng for anyone that may have a xaircaft flight controller 1212-s of p either way I am wondering if there is anyone who is willing to dump one for not to much. Like some that I know I had a an x650 however when I figured it could not perform the way I needed it. I then dumped the whole...

Hey all I am in the start of a hexa build where i am using these conversion booms to make a f550 into something bigger where I can put 14inch props on it. Along the way I have been able to get my hands an new mount from skyrover, Its not quite on the market yet but I know there should be some...

I am in the middle of making my own larger copter these day, something with a lower kv motors and big props. I started off with an s800, but after having it for now since May I have come to the conclusion to move on. I love the design however out of the 32 week since I originally took delivery...

I am trying to figure out the max amp capabilities of the dji f550 board, the reason I ask, I am in the middle of upgrading my 550 to end up as a 800, and as I am doing this I am trying to figure out prop size, I am going to mount tigger 3515 motors and with the 14 in prop I pretty confident I...

I have been reading around the forum on the "flip of death" and I just trying to gather if this has happened to anyone other then those who have been flying the s800. I am just wondering if its only the 800 then, why? and how could that be chased back to a specific model and a firmware issue??
