Yeah, not really...don't want any flex at all and I'd rather have carbon fiber rods myself. The blocks would allow me to cut carbon fiber arms to the length I want and there are plenty of motor mounts already out there made out of anodized aluminum. What I don't like about the F550 is the fact...

So that's where we are and I hope this doesn't also speak volumes about manufacturing in America versus China and the state of the country etc. Anyway, I don't think making JUST THE aluminum block should be very expensive though right? All we'd need is a part to go between the 2 DJI F550 plates...

Welcome to Capitalism, first person to make them will get the business. China, India, USA...won't matter...can't afford the cost to manufacture, not our problem because China will and that's how things work. The second they hear wind of it, they'll mass produce them and send them here and...

Considering I go through a few arms every couple of months at $4.50 + $2.00 shipping and that an aluminum arm would not break I'd pay a premium for a premium part. Check this out, there are carbon fiber propellers that people pay $20 each for so don't be shocked if they fly off the shelf. Also...

Hey, it's better than replacing the whole thing because it fell into the ocean or got lost because a motor failed in flight. I do the spin test to see if the motor is still good, works every time. If they lose magnetism you'll see it in the spin test. Try it now, spin a good motor and a bad one...

It's amazing how quickly I'll jump in to help anyone with anything but how many douche bags will show up when you ask for help. Simply amazing... Does anyone here have a clue or does everyone just want to talk about their feelings? Pathetic...

I saw the main post and there was nothing below it so I replied, when I came back there were pages. No idea what that is about but that's what happened. Glad the problem is fixed, I'd also like to know how it was determined and if there's a test for that etc. Let us know....

I'm building it so I can glue my DJI F550 to it, does that help you out?

Ross, I have knock-off version of it and I have it fully loaded to about 4-5lbs. I have a 900mhz 1.5W transmitter, leg attachments, Naza flight controller, Go Pro camera, CCD camera, everything Eagle Tree OSD has as well as 2 x 4S x 4,000mah batteries and I could still probably lift 6-10 soda...

The Naza flight controller does Gimble stabilization already, which FC do you use? I've been following Tarot stuff for a while and I like their Hexa which I've had my eye on now for a minute. The only thing I don't like is they don't have a built in PCB board. The video looks great but there are...

Welcome right back from Florida... I'd have suggested the DJI F450 for a quad or maybe the TBS Discovery which is immensely popular.

The lower the frequency that you transmit the less power you'll need and the better the penetration through objects. If you use 1.3Ghz or 900mhz you can probably get away with it, anything higher than that and you'll need much more power to transmit through your vehicle. If you move the antenna...

Number 1 is the Naza followed closely by the CC3D controller.

DJI F550, check it out...probably the best "kit" out there to start with.

I guess I forgot to mention, who cares? If they're aluminum can you put bigger motors on them without worry? Yep... If they weight more can you prop up or go with bigger motors? Yep... We have 10lb hexacopters in this forum. When someone makes the aluminum arms, just like they did with the Quad...

Welcome from the East coast, which I will NEVER call the "right" coast...bunch of Budweiser specialist and trailer park heroes out here. I grew up in Long Beach and I've see SKYCAM5000's page quite a bit, he also was one of the people, like NASTYCOP420, that got me started also. I'm addicted to...

Well we can only speculate but I know electric motors pretty well and typically when you see something like that it's from over-amperage OR high internal heat. A good test of an outrunner is to spin it and see if it has resistance with no power applied to it, it should "ratchet" so to speak so...

Hey all, I'm in the preliminary process of getting all the parts together for my new Zephyr ZII build-out. I see on the website that they want you to use a 1200Kv motor and a 60A ESC but the price on the website is beyond absurd. What size motors are these? 28, 38, 48? Are these 200W, 300W or...

Since it used to have propane I would say be careful but I'd also assume that's a given. Propane is heavier than air and you cannot simply pull the top off because it pools. Actually, you'd have to "dump it out" in order to get it to leave the grill, ok I'm done with my rant on grill safety...

Typically with the Naza when you have uncontrolled descents it's because you have not put black electrical tape on the sides of the Naza. This is a known bug with the Naza and if you don't do this it will continue to happen. I don't know exactly what causes it but from what I understand it's...
