I had a quick flight today and it seems that she's working as advertised with 600ish for roll and 400ish for tilt. This was based on looking at the video feed though, not recorded anything yet. Will do this week though and post results. What I will say is it was good enough that my camera...

It was 16.6v unloaded. Would have be considerably lower under load

Thanks Kloner Balls, looks like they're knackered. Charger is reading 47% capacity and its only put 1700mah in. 47% should be around 2450-2500mah

So like an idiot I accidentally flew a set of storage charged batteries and not my fully charged ones (dont ask how). The packs are 5s Gens Ace 5500mah 25C. And I've depleted them to 16.6v..........unloaded! They were only very slightly warm, and were instantly put in a fridge when I realised...

Hi guys, Just fitted my AV200 360 to my AD8. It's veeeeeeerrrrrryyy wobbly. Are any of you guys noticing this? Feels like the landing gear is going to break away from the main frame. Are there any home made solutions you lot are using to make this a little less fragile?

Nothing special. Just made sure my belts are gear meshing were tight, and added the felt washers to the servos. I added 2 washers to each servo though. I then bumped the gains up to max and reduced them until the crazy oscillation stopped. I then reduced them bit by bit again until I could...

It seems to be nice and smooth even with little movements. Psionic, I'm not running 1.1.3. I just used the software for 1.1.3 to "unbrick" or undo whatever it was weird that I did. 1.6 & 1.7 software wouldn't connect to it. It's fine now though. That video is running on 1.1.7

I managed to get it to function again by downloading the old 1.3 software and using it to load 1.6........ and then messing with it A LOT! I'm now EXTREMELY happy with how the RSGS is functioning, running roll gain at around 600 and tilt at 390. It really does seem to be rock solid but hasn't...

Please help me guys. I fitted my new skyline tonight and followed the 1.1.6 setup to the T. When I powered up and did autotune it threw itself to the very far end of the roll, and off of the gear. Very scary. I then decided to try reloading the firmware but at the end of the firmware update...

At least you guys got all your parts. I've been waiting nearly 2 months for my kit and when it finally arrived i'm missing one of the two main shaft bearings, the locking washer, something called a needle thrust assembly and my bearing spacer is far too wide to fit in the hole. I've also...

Hi Yakjock, Will do. What area of the midlands are you from? I'm based in Wolverhampton

Cheers Dewster, Looks like I'm going to be waiting for UK xoar stock

Ah, cheers DennyR. Good to know. I've settled on grabbing a set of 12x4 xoars after running my set up with changes through ecalc. If only there was anywhere in the UK that has stock! I've found a few places that sell the standard xoar 12x4 but dont sell the counter rotating version. And the...

http://quadcopters.co.uk/11x5-carbon-fiber-propeller-pair-353-p.asp I'm after a new set of props for my heavy lift AD8. I'm currently flying 10x5 xoar's, and enjoy the fact that I know they're not going to throw a blade or get brittle in cold air. How are these carbon props holding up for...

I'm currently on 5.02 and have found that if i'm near to the home point, the craft will simply back up to home in failsafe. If I fly further away and activate failsafe it will then turn to point the nose home before returning.

Managed any more flights Aviator? How's she performing? Would you say it's safe to fly 5.12a on a traditional rx flat octo? Alex

Ah! Carboncore octa and megaradius. I was so close to purchasing one of those! Love that big *** cam mount

Bravo Aviator, you have bigger balls than me! Just out of curiosity, what are you flying? Cinestar/skyjib/AD8 ect? And can you clear up the problem with failsafe? I've never used IOC so just power up, fly, and as long as I had decent gps before taking off then that's where it returns to if...

I salute you, sir! And good luck

To be honest I don't think many octo users are flying 5.12a. I've only seen a few who have. I'm terrified of trying it on my rig and expect quite a few others are too. There aren't many cheap octocopters out there...
