Man, I had the same issue with a rig I had. Andrew from @Hexacrafter and I spent months trying to figure out the problem and we couldn't figure it out. 2 sets of ESC's, 3 flight controls... ended up we replaced the motor and the rig flew like glass. If you can, see if you can swap #5 and #6...

@Pumpkinguy Here is what I Suggest... Get a GH4. For 90% of jobs the footage from a GH4 will more than suffice. Real Estate, local commercials, local anything. And if you get lucky and start working with larger production companies (ie. Movies, TV commercials, or productions) they very well...

The 6S vs 4S argument is not supportable by data. Both systems are only as good as the soldier joints, wire layout and materials used. If you have a HEX carrying a GH4 and your 4S system fails at 100 feet (30.48M), your going to break just as much stuff as a HEX carrying a GH4 on a 6S system...

Andrew is usually 12 steps a head. Like you build a frame, and say "Hmmm I'd like to add (insert item here). You look, and there are already holes perfectly drilled into the frame to acept (insert item here). Hexacrafter frames are the real deal. SC

Can we get the Noob DJI owners to discharge their lipo packs to a safe rate with their tongues? 9 Volt style? I KID I KID!! :D

Bart did a great job of explaining this: http://www.multirotorforums.com/threads/understanding-lithium-polymer-batteries.12072/

Higher C rating is not always great for heavy lift. Higher C rating helps 3D helicopters that tend to get pushed hard in 3D type maneuvers. From my experience, price doesn't matter as much as reputation. Usually what you are paying for with higher priced batteries is much tighter QC. I used...

Here's my question. By looking at the case, it looks as if the batteries are all separated properly, that this case was customer designed around the Inspire. SO.. chances are nothing was pinched or touched.... and from what I have seen the Inspire batteries use a slide in type contact, so there...

The SuperX is 200000000% easier to set up than a Pixhawk. Not saying one is better than the other, but the SuperX is seriously foolproof.

I'd be excited but I talk to you too much the way it is. Poor Ben get's to hear me whine about all the insane stuff going on. Sorry Ben.. :( But hey! Nice to have ya back on line! :D

Dude no offense but the soldering job is TERRIBLE. That could have lead to you issue. I'd really try to be more precise with the application of soldier and make sure each soldier joint is not close to the next. You will have a lot more of these issues if the soldiering continues to be done like...

I feel ya, I lost my job of 8 years last August, so I've been working 70 hours a week at many jobs to pay bills. REALLY cut into my flying - free time... now I only get to fly for paying jobs haven't had the chance to take a day and FPV or just tear around in a while. :( Hope the leg gets...

@Old Man as always great points.

Yea I think that is the way the FAA is looking at it. EVEN if you have "monetization" turned off, there are ads on the webpage, so you are providing content to an entity that makes money from having traffic. ANY video on youtube adds to the traffic hence it is a commercial flight.

Looks GOOD!

This is our second release of 2015, OpenPilot Version 15.02 (Ragin’ Cajun). What is OpenPilot? – We’re an all volunteer, open source community that creates hardware and software (flight controllers, firmware, and ground control station) for civilian UAVs and other vehicles. This release...

This is total BS. WOW. I am dumbfounded.

A FAA letter sent to a Youtuber....

Well this is interesting.... From Motherboard... For full article look here.

It might be in combination with their line of "Z" gimbals. The problem is I can't find the answer right now as their english website is a mess. I had tried to help out ZeroUAV for a while, we were in talks, and they decided to basically use me, do hours of work for them, not pay me and then...
