    Lookin at a new copter

    http://www.ecalc.ch/xcoptercalc_e.htm Use that to determine what motors, props, lipos and esc's your going to need to lift that cam safetly. I spent 2 weeks playing with that calculator daily to find the ideal set up for my AD8 HLE, and I'm incredibly pleased that I did. My original plan...

    GPS hold for bigger Hexa

    Make sure your gps x y and z axis are set accurately. That can be a reason for toilet bowl

    Interesting Z axis settings..

    I haven't tried as I still can't figure how to set fail safe to a switch on my jr11x. I expect it will perform as any other platform would though, as the z axis is only the measurement of the cog to the imu....the gps still works perfectly as all the axis settings are spot on for that. And for...

    Interesting Z axis settings..

    I'm flying a droidworx AD8 HLE with av200 and an all up flying weight of around 5.5 - 6kg I've been flying for some time now with basic gains at 140-150% and the atitude gains set to around 130-140. I noticed that people have said there are major problems with the wkm in wind when flown on...

    AD8 HLE Props?

    The smaller the prop, the higher the disc loading. It's all to do with the weight of your copter and the amount of lift/thrust your props will produce. A high disc loading means that the props/motors have to work slightly harder. Can't really think of a way to explain it. High disc loading =...

    AD8 HLE Props?

    I'm running a DW ad8 hle on two 5s 5500mah with xoar 10x5's (torxpower 3536 motors and 40a esc's) and I'm very happy with it. It's carrying an av200 with nex 5n and is delivering around 10min flights with plenty of power. High disc loading and high rpms are favoured by the dji

    Failsafe question...

    Just a quick question to settle my mind. I'm running a jr11x and ezuhf system on my octo. I've saved a fail safe setting to the ezuhf rx so that when I turn the tx off the assistant software jumps into fails are mode with all sticks centred. Is this ok/set up complete? I've also selected go...

    Xoar wooden props

    Cheers bartman. That's a relief. It's my first wooden set, I've only ever had the apc's etc which after a while always seemed to throw a blade or two

    Wookong M and Hobbywing 25A Funfly ESC

    Ah ok. The reason we set them up like that is if the esc's are left on the lipo setting they cut power to the motors when the battery reaches a set voltage (3.0v I believe ....?). They do this in order to prevent permanent damage to the lipo. This is fine on a plank that can glide in to a safe...

    Xoar wooden props

    Hi guys, I've got a lovely set of xoar 10x5 electric beechwood props on my heavy lift octo. My question is... How long do wooden props last before they're likely to fail? Hard question, I know. A better way to put it might be how many flights would you feel comfortable putting through a set...

    Wookong M and Hobbywing 25A Funfly ESC

    No probs. You'll probably want low to medium timing. That's the general setting for multis. You'll also want to set the battery type to ni-xx, cut off voltage to low and the cut off type to soft. This will stop it from dropping out of the sky unexpectedly when the esc's attempt to save your...

    Wookong M and Hobbywing 25A Funfly ESC

    I have used the 40a funflys in my octo and that is flying very nicely at the moment. The funflys are Hobbywing Pentiums. Hobbywing had to rename them after intel got angry with them. The pentiums/funflys are also rebranded as turnigy plush etc. Meaning you can use the turnigy programming card...
