Well, Maxamps were very clear about the rating and it is indeed 40c peak. They reckon that 8c constant is what they will put out without stressing the packs too much. As for the power dist, I ordered some copper bar and soldered the wires to two pieces of this separated by a couple of pieces of...

Look at the RC Logger digital pitch gauge v2. With this you can set it zero relative to the body of your MR and then you can use it to set the angle of the motor. Its accuracy is down to .1 or .2 of a degree which is more than accurate enough. I did this setting up my Octo and all the motors...

I had a very similar problem until last night. Two things I did: 1, uninstall the Google Earth plug in, disconnect yourself from the internet and then reinstall the plug in direct from the CD (this will make sure that it gets the right version of the plug in). 2, make sure you run GS as an...

Typical, I spent ages trying to troubleshoot this before I posted and now I have sussed it. In short, I uninstalled the Google Earth Plugin, turned off my internet connection and then re-installed the plugin direct from the CD. I then went into properties for the programme and set it to run as...

Okay, GS seems to be working well ie I am not having problem with getting it to start and to show Google Earth. The drivers are correctly installed for the receiver and I get the green link light on it to say that it is working correctly with the aircraft. I also have the correct COM port...

What do you mean by saving the FC?

Could you not simply wire things this way? This would mean that when you plug the main batteries in, the WKM would power up immediately (via its BEC) as would the RX. Then all it would take is for you to flick your remote switch and the emcotec would then allow power to flow to the ESCs

That could also be this issue as my gains are all still at 100. I'll have a play next time starting at 200 for each gain I think

Okay, that makes sense. My landing was smooth but the GPS might have expected to carry on descending so to speak and thus put in a correction- would that be the gist of it? If landing in Atti or manual is recommended then I am very happy with this.

I have just maidened my Skyjib and got three flights in. On the third flight, I landed the machine in GPS/Atti mode and it immediately tipped over to the right on touching down. Any ideas what might have caused this? Here is some background. WKM single waypoint. Motors: Axi 4120/20s (they all...

PLEASE PLEASE be very careful when messing around with modifying server PSUs. They can be very dangerous if you do not know what you are doing. All it can take is a fault in the server PSU and the case can become lethal to touch (depending on how you have modified the PSU). The big thing to do...

There's a good clip on Helifreak about the 700dfc v a Lambo (the Lambo is totaled during the filming although the crash isnt captured GULP!) and they use a Trex 800 with gimbal for some of the filming. I wasn't looking that hard but it did seem rather shaky and they didn't use that much footage...

Thanks Boris, I have just emailed them and await their response. Ill' keep people here posted on the outcome.

Wow, that's very worrying to hear about the Maxamps and I would say against trade description law here in the UK. Thanks for the heads up on this guys, I will investigate these batteries further. When every other manufacturer states a true Xc rating they mean in the constant draw, not the peak!

Here is another bracket that fits well: http://www.kopterworx.com/Mounts-Accessories/Skyjib-/-Cinestar-gimbal-adapter It is light weight and promises to excellent at damping vibrations but you have to use CA glue to attach the large perspex plate to the gel dampers. So this is definitely NOT...

No need for higher C rating. At 40C and 11000, that's already an output of 440amps per battery theoretically and because I am using 2 batts in parallel I will be only pulling about 200amps max on these and only then for very short durations. The only thing I can see the 10900 batteries getting...

From my experience in helis, the top notch ESCs are the Kontroniks. Unfortunately, their price is also top notch.

My rig is using 8x Axi 4120/20s that peak at 50A each ie the system could spike at up to 400A. That's quite a current! My question is this- what are people's thoughts on the distribution system? (I will be using 2x 5s 11000mAh batteries in parallel) I have seen the PowerHungry distribution...
