    XAircraft Failsafe setup of a DX8 with a SuperX controller (video).

    wbrownj sent me a request via PM on using the SuperX and a DX8. He wanted to know about setting up failsafe. So the easiest way to explain was to make a video. I just thought I would also post it for the public in case anyone else has the same question. https://vimeo.com/77310366 Jeff

    XAircraft SuperX newbie question

    My brushless and my servo based gimbals are worlds apart. I love the brushless ones. When I use the knob on my brushless gimbal to change the pitch, it is so smooth that I can hardly believe it. My servo based ones always jittered no matter what servos I used. I right now have 6 servo based...

    XAircraft XA 650 Pro Battery Recommendations

    Well, I did some of my own testing on the weekend (Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada). In my SuperX/Tarot FY680 equipped hex (T-Motors 2814-11 with 12x3.8 props) I was flying with 5800mah batteries. I was getting 16min flying with a mix of hovering (photographing the fall colours at my...

    XAircraft 650 Pro Battery Position

    I made a slightly larger battery tray that uses two Velcro straps. I then use these straps from Hobby King. They have a rubberized coating that helps them stick to the battery and keep it from shifting. I still use the XAircraft clips to attach the battery tray to the X650 so in a hard crash...

    XAircraft SuperX

    I missed a lot in the XAircraft forums here because Multirotorforums.com doesn't support the latest version of Tapatalk. :neglected: Anyway, I'm now checking via my browser. Couldn't figure out why no-one was posting! Just going to go out and test 1.08beta firmware. The main difference...

    XAircraft Solid yellow light when set in GPS mode.

    I had the same problem with two of my SuperX units. There are three possible solutions. First is to try to calibrate the compass. Watch both Drew's video on this and Abin's. Drew explains the process but I think he misses something, you keep turning your unit until you see a double green...

    XAircraft XA 650 Pro Battery Recommendations

    I'm also interested in your findings Drew. Keep us posted. One question, the 5800mah giving you about 14-15 minute flying times, is that for a single 5800 battery or two paired? Jeff

    XAircraft Crazy Chinese Pilot flying SuperX in Crazy Wind!!!

    OK, this guy is just nuts. I don't fly anything in this kind of wind. He flies his hex with a SuperX aboard (GPS mode) and puts his transmitter down on the bench! https://vimeo.com/73042750 Jeff

    XAircraft Testing Failsafe of my DX8 & SuperX mounted X650v

    Nathan and I were testing both the safe mode and the failsafe the other day. He informs me he did a successful "failsafe" test yesterday. Well, not to be outdone, I just had to try it today. Below is a video of my test. I set the height to only 6meters because I really didn't want it...

    XAircraft SuperX unboxing

    I tried to upload it as both a PDF and a ZIP file. Both are above the limit I can upload here. Here is a link to the updated version on RCG. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showatt.php?attachmentid=5959864&d=1374169745 Not sure if this will work. Jeff p.s. not quite what I was hoping for...

    XAircraft SuperX unboxing

    Yes, I watched that today. Jingchen and I were laughing about it. You can see him move to hide the transmitter with his body but his left arm keeps going up to the transmitter to fly the unit. What a load of crock. Then when he is "signaling" it to fly home, hell, that's the safe-mode-return...

    XAircraft SuperX unboxing

    FYI, there are a couple of errors in that manual. I'm working with Jingchen to get it updated. In particular, check out "Neutral Point Calibration". It's shown to be exactly the same procedure as "RC Reverse Calibration". It should say to put both sticks into the center point. In the...

    Tau Labs Can't SAVE calibration

    Whenever I try to calibrate my receiver in the Configuration screen, the save and apply are greyed out. Other than that it appears to work. What is wrong. I also cannot get the motors to arm but I'm hoping it's because of the above problem. I'm using a JR9303 transmitter along with a AR6200...
