    Tau Labs OP Developers banned

    I had difficulty getting my CC3D board to work as I had hoped. It flew okay, but not as smooth as I wanted. And I missed the altitude-hold capability of the Naza. But I got a lot of help from users on the OP site. In the end, I sold my CC3D boards and went back to the Naza. I spent waaay...

    Couple Newbie Questions / Observations from my DJI F550

    Had an incident similar to Item #2 yesterday with my Naza-based quad. I flew briefly (2-3 min.), landed, unplugged the battery, then plugged it back in for a second flight. During arming, I noticed the #1 motor lagging during spool-up; decided to give it a go anyway. Upon applying power it...

    What is the difference and?

    Make sure your ESCs & motors work on 4S and change it in the Assistant. Oh, and your CG may change with the heavier batteries. Jack

    new kid on the block - SteadiDrone

    The equipment looks nice; but I have to tell ya, that video on your website is painful to watch (for me, anyway). The in-and-out of focus is very annoying---I shut it off after about 15 seconds. FWIW. Jack

    Thanks, all. Can't tell you how much less frustrated I am now that I spilled my guts out. Jack

    Tau Labs Ode to my Build

    I needed a project; something to make. I only had two ‘copters for heaven’s sake. I went to the forums; read every post. Looking for something that interested me most. Looking everywhere while surfin’ the ‘Net. Maybe FPV; haven’t been there yet. Looking thru goggles while buzzin’ the sky...

    Tau Labs CC3D release!

    Not in my case. According to FedEx, it went to Los Angeles first, then on to Memphis. I'm sure Memphis is a FedEx hub. And I've been told it actually is faster going thru a hub even if it has to backtrack. Jack

    Tau Labs CC3D release!

    Don't feel too bad, K. Mine went from AU to LA, and are now in Memphis getting ready to come back to CA. Jack

    Avroto 2814-11 with 13 x 6.5 xoar props?

    On my hexa with Avrotos, I moved from APC 12x3.8SF to APC 12x6E and increased lift with no problems. I also went from 3S to 4S. I'd think going from 12x3.8 to 13x6.5 is quite a leap. Why not ease into the change with something between the two? Jack

    Scarab Multiwiicopter FPV Aerial videography

    Nice video. Could have done without the watermark, however. Jack

    Motor wire lengths question?

    FWIW. The Avrotos I use on my hexa came with long leads---about 18". I've got the motor wires strung thru the 14" aluminum booms to the ESCs on the frame hub. I'd estimate they're about 17" - 18" long. They're not braided either. I've had no problems with this configuration. Jack

    Thanks, Bart. Kinda thought that. I think I know the thread. Works for me. Peace. Jack

    Clarifying links to other sites

    Okay, so a poster can link to another site as long as it's not another multicopter forum site? Is that the rule? Sorry to be so dense, but I really don't understand what this is about or how to apply it? Originally Bart stated, "...I get offended when people post a simple link to another site...

    But this is an information site, not a retail one. If a MR vendor has a new product, how do you reference it? Sorry, I'm not getting the concern. Jack

    Clarifying links to other sites

    At the risk of creating a contentious thread, I'm still confused. For example... I just posted in a thread about tilt/shift camera lenses. I responded to the OP, and provided a link to a tutorial on how to achieve the look using Photoshop. Clearly, going to the other site drew the...
