I am currently using Avroto's and have no complaints. I am just curious about the two new motor's on the block and how they compare. Personal experience opinions would be great. Also, can anyone explain why the QC-3328 is listed as a good bit smaller compared to the others but has about the same...

I am curious if anyone has tried one of these frames: http://www.maximus-racing.com/fr/maxicopters/vortex_x4-8.html

Hey All, Just made a blog post about my packing technique for rugged international travel. Go here: http://www.multirotorforums.com/entry.php?6-International-traveling-with-X8-how-I-pack Shot at Cochasqui, Ecuador

As mentioned in my blog I made several flights the other at an altitude above 3000 meters (>10,000 feet) with my MK X8. Upon reviewing the recordings from my little cam with Eagle Tree OSD I noticed that the altimeter reading would start to go crazy at about 300-400 feet and then cut-out and...

Howdy, I just posted some info and photos from a shoot yesterday at Cochasqui Pyramids, Ecuador. Here is the link: http://www.multirotorforums.com/entry.php?4-Cochasqui-Pyramids-Ecuador Hope you enjoy. Shawn

Howdy, Finally got to do a couple flights between rains yesterday in the Ecuadorian Amazon. First flight went great after having a bit of trouble getting motors to start. It took about 25 minutes to get 6 satellites and another 10min to get 8 sats making me feel comfortable to fly. I...

I was mounting my new Okto XL distribution board when I guess my finger knocked the piece circled in the pic below off. Can't believe it came off that easy. Anyhow, can it just be soldered back on? does the direction matter? Bummed:( Shawn

Well after my successful maiden flight last night I wanted to do some more flying today. But of course it was windy (10-15mph). I went ahead and walked to my little flying spot with pockets loaded with batteries. I had set my Gyro-P and Gyro-I to my knobs/dials on the tx so I could do some...

Hello All, I was wondering if some of you would mind giving me some suggested PID settings to start with on my MK X8. Specs: X8 mode - 750mm motor-to-motor Pulso 2814/22 motors with APC12x3.8 props MK FC V2.1 ME weight w/4s 6000mah battery is 3.371kg Pretty sure I have...

MK FPV Heavy-lift X8 and Futaba TX/RX I had started a build log on the "other" forum for this copter when it was using the HoverflyPro FC board. Since I am converting to MK I wanted a new build log to document how I set this thing up - primarily for my reference but also to share in hope of...

As posted in another thread, I am about to convert my X8 copter to the full suite of MK electronics. I have pretty much finalized my shopping list, but am still trying to decide what path to take so I can use my Futaba T10CAP 2.4ghz (modded for smooth throttle). The rx I have is the R6014HS. I...

Howdy All, As requested I will fill you guys in on my background and intended uses for multirotor copters. Currently, I am a PhD candidate at Texas State University in the Department of Biology. My primary interest is in Batrachology (study of amphibians). I have been doing amphibian research...
