    If you are anal about prop balancing, here is a different approach.

    Just because you buy top of the line props doesn't mean they are ready to go out of the box. Most AV pros know this and spend hours dialing them in. Being a fan of the quick release prop adapters myself, I have them on all my tmotor/tmotor clone props. (As a side note, the Drones...

    Retracts

    I buy direct from tarot: http://www.tarot-rc.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65_103&products_id=1261 $26 USD each. Keep in mind these aren't available in Canada so I am ordering internationally anyway.

    I Thought Gemfan Was Supposed To Be Good Props

    I tried a gemfan 10" on a 355mm sized quad with 2212-900 motors and had a prop failure mid air. broke right off at the hub. All others had stress marks on either side of the hub. (where the plastic turns white) From here forward I only use them on my mini quad.

    Revisit a age old debate, Esc's mounted on the arms.

    To everyone that has posted, thank you. It seems like at this point the old theory had been debunked. What exactly does twisting the power wires achieve?

    Revisit a age old debate, Esc's mounted on the arms.

    I've read countless forum posts on this, I've heard all the opinions, Ive seen the fixes. Still, I feel the need to reopen the debate. Having a little more conductor between the battery and the ESC's, allowing active cooling vs keeping them close to the nucleus of the UAV. We know...

    new builder needs some advise

    The battery pads are larger, I would connect it there but it wont make much of a difference.

    "Drone" Radio Live....Launching Oct 28th!

    I thought Bart did a great job in front of the camera. He is well spoken and didn't seem nervous at all. You look pretty good for 47 Bart. I didn't love the curtains. I would have a monitor on the wall and that's where my Skype guests would be displayed with Bart in the foreground a...

    What just happened

    9" gemfan kitchen spoon type. Only thing I could get locally and wanted to test her out. All props had stress marks by the hub. (A white line in the plastic) I now have hq. They have way more meat near the hub

    A new marketplace for us all

    No way this guy can enforce or even know the laws of other countries and it would be in his best interest to just ignore the legal side.

    The faa would have to get a court order to get the names of the people submitting content and if this guy is in another country they will be sol. That leads me to think this will encourage illegal operations which I personally feel is wrong.

    What just happened

    A week ago I was flying my 355 with naza v2 and cheap props. I was in a hover 10' above the ground and one prop snapped off at the hub. She immediately flipped upside down and landed props down. You didn't break a prop but an esc or motor likely popped. That's my bet. Have you tested...

    When one motor starts slower than the rest.

    I don't think you understood my original post. 2 different rigs. In both cases I tried motors with other "known to be good" esc's and the same problem existed. It was not a esc problem.

    When one motor starts slower than the rest.

    I agree on this. Millions and millions of feet of stator wire that is manufactured and processed thru machines with dozen of feed rollers. I guess it's likely that there are nicks or rubs in the insulation during manufacturing of the wire itself or during the winding process of the motor.

    Not too many guys use ioc when doing Aerial Video but I will try to replicate your problem on my rig next time I fly it.
