    Channels. How many is enough?

    You can never have too many channels! Landing gear, lights, coffee machine etc

    Mechanical Connectors Availability

    If you are after a crimp connector, the Anderson Powerpole 45a is pretty good. I have been using these for years in helis and multirotors and they have been faultless. For my packs I double up on the 45a connectors as the next size up, the 75a APPs are huge. With all that said, APPs are still...

    A2 GPS Module firmware 2.4

    Given the amount of issues with the A2 that have been potentially GPS related maybe this is a hint of an imminent release of new software. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Not understanding NEW LiPo battery behavior

    3.7v is where you want to stop which should equate to 80% of battery capacity. For your next flight, fully charge the battery, fly for lets say 2 mins and then recharge the battery noting how many mAh go back in- divide this by 2 to get mAh/min and then divide this into 80% of your battery...

    Wiring Diagrams

    Ha, this is exactly how I use the Powerpoles. I use two pairs for connecting on the aircraft but only connect one pair for charging. I have been lifting Reds all summer long on my Skyjib v1 which is no lightweight and the PPs haven't even become warm. Its a great way of setting up the connectors...

    Photohigher Halo 8 & Halo 2000

    Your the man Kloner. Can't wait to see your thoughts on it given your experience and I will happily eat all my words if it proves to be as good as some think.

    Photohigher Halo 8 & Halo 2000

    Fair point but according to Photohigher's website the Halo 8 is rated for a 6-8kg payload so I wonder how robust this thing is with a 55lb all up weight.

    first take off flipped over

    Also check that the Naza is pointing in the right direction. If the gyros are not pointing the right way then controls on the ground will look good but the second the aircraft takes off you will get a fairly violent flip Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Photohigher Halo 8 & Halo 2000

    But that has nothing to do with the airframe and everything to do with the power train??? Just playing devil's advocate here- the frames do look the mutts nuts so it would be great to see what your thoughts are once you have flown it a few times. It would be great to be proven wrong on my view...

    Photohigher Halo 8 & Halo 2000

    . Until you realise how you can set this up to improve the safety of your aircraft by using things like logical switches, dual path RF to the aircraft, customized alarms, hall sensor gimbals, alarms and actions linked to telemetry values. And I could go on. With an airframe weight is king and...

    Photohigher Halo 8 & Halo 2000

    I was able to see one of these in the flesh quite recently and to be honest I thought it was very heavy and all form over function. I don't see what this frame offers over others apart from aesthetics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Zero UAV GEMINI Dual-Redundancy Autopilot

    What aircraft have you been flying this on? That's one hell of a gust of wind to create a 70 degree + tilt on the aircraft.

    Why is the A2 not spinning up?!

    Channel reversed? Bring both sticks down and to the left and in the sliders on the Assistant software all the sliders should be to the left.

    post your AUW for flat okto or X8 airframes

    I've had a look at the Halo and it seems to be more form over function. It certainly wasn't light so I would be interested to see how you get on with it.

    Beware RcMaster.net

    Whilst RCMaster.net looks like being a German site, it is certainly run from Germnay, if you buy anything from them, they are likely to ship the items from places like Hong Kong. There is no mention that the item is coming from outside of the EU. This of course means you then get hit with import...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx DJI A2 M Flight controller on Droidworx frame....

    If you go for the A2, be careful setting up Jeti PPM if that's the route you go as this has known issues. There is some info on it on one of the German forums and DJI acknowledge the problem. Cant shed any more info at the mo- sorry. A2s appear to be very hit and miss. Get a good one and you...
