    HDMI converter made for DW landing gear

    Kilby, nice install but $250 for it seems a bit steep when the board costs about $40. (http://www.amazon.com/HDMI-Composite-S-Video-Converter-3RCA/dp/B0047PDBP0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334245287&sr=8-1). Pull the board out of the case and make a mount to the cross bars. Buy a recom to drive 5...

    Solder and Wire Gauge

    For soldering I bought a Hakko FX-951 and three tips. T15-D12, T15-BLL, T15-D2. The D2 works great on soldering Deans connectors onto battery cables. This unit has plenty of power. Solder I am using 60/40 with 3.3% flux.

    Mikrokopter Cinestar 8 always flip on side during lift up

    Iscorama Check your switch settings. From the video it looks like Altitude Hold, Carefree and maybe the PH/CH are all switched on. That might be the problem. Also easier for me to startup with the ship pointed away from me. More logical for controlling with the joysticks. Gary

    Most likely not on the front of the lens but on the sensor. Not sure if the D7000 has a sensor clean mode. If not follow the manuals guide to cleaning the sensor. It's not as hard as folks would describe. One way to check for dust is to stop the lens down to f22 and shoot a picture of the sky in...

    Brimstone. Nice video but take a few minutes and clean the sensor in your camera. Multiple spots of dust bunnies are showing up ;)

    Lipo Amps Used MX20/MK Data Log vs Hyperion Charger

    Was wondering if anyone can shed some light on the difference I see between what the Graupner MX20 and MK logs are showing as mAh used during a flight vs what my Hyperion 720 shows as being replaced during the charge cycle. Example the MX20 says 3768, MK log says 3760 and the Hyperion after the...

    Hello all, my name is ric. I've opened a custom shop for copters!

    And he must be global. On his products page there is an image of a chappy in a yellow slicker. Grabbed the photo, plugged it into Tineye.com, and found multiple hits of the drome flyer in Europe. Seriously what a thief...

    Thread Lock

    Loctite 222 Purple Low Strength is what was recommended for my Cinestar. Didn't find it locally but available on Amazon. Anything stronger is tough to un bolt something with the small screw sizes we are dealing with (3mm). Agree about not using it on plastics unless you test it first.

    Video only HDMI to analog converter

    Bartman check with Esben over at www.littlesmartthings.com. He is on a quest as one of his next projects. He looked at what folks are currently using (typically the board from portta.com) and saw that it has lots of functionality that we don't need. How to get it down to the essentials...

    Mikrokopter HELP! mk compass calibration issue

    So if you have a wireless setup for MKtools this will be an easy thing to check. (no wireless take your laptop with you outside). Setup everything, power up the kopter and MKtools. Once you have a connection click on the left red arrow on what I would call the data block. You should be on...

    So with any general camera like the NEX5, if you were using it for standard photography you would never print the raw image. All digital images need some type of sharpening. Not 100% sure but don't think it would be of any difference whether it is a still image or a moving image. I would...

    Check out the video from Tabb (the winter one with two CStars) and you will see he has a big orange foamy wrap on the arm 1. He said he has the same challenge. Can't fly by reference to the landing gear...

    Mikrokopter Looking for tips on using the SD data slot

    I am also a Mac user but find that the emulator "Wine" runs the two GPX viewers just fine without having to start up Parallels or Fusion. Andy just tried Mac Office 2011 and just get a line after line listing with <> as the data brackets. Even though it says in the header that it is an XML...

    How to set timer to activate with throttle position on Graupner MX-20?

    Page 142 in the Manual. Pretty straight forward. One gotcha though is the resetting of the flight timer (stop watch/countdown is straight forward). Can't remember the steps but once the flight timer starts it keeps running even if you have powered down the quad.
