    XAircraft SuperX

    If you look closely the IMU is on it’s own level and the IO is on a shelf. Also I have 4 superX’s running off 6S direct no issues what so ever! And remember large gauge wire is only needed for high amp draws like for an ESC, the SuperX will be lucky to pull .5 amps so the small gauge wire is...

    Wish List for regulatory outcome (US)

    I am in for some common sense regulations, and the removal of the private pilots license demand. It makes No sense. i would be find with a ground school class, and even a proof of ability flying exam, but the cost, time and potential hazard of obtaining a full scale airplane license just to fly...

    Myth of self tightening propellers

    Always crank down the props. The self tightening aspect is just there to keep the torque from assisting in loosening the prop nut. I know some of the PR showed different, but never trust PR.

    Breaking motor mounts like crazy...?

    I am 1005 speculating, but I think you have a combo of a very cheap frame (thin glass) cheap motors (probably not a huge part of the problem, but adding vibration) and I think the big one is Props. Did you balance your props? If not that could be the cause of your issues!

    Inspire 1 Owner's Thread

    That is really cool. Maybe they could make you put in an hour or two on the sim before the rig unlocks the motors. ;) I am really interested in checking one of these bad boys out.

    Stratus Productions Wire Vibration Isolater

    Have you ever noticed that the rubber bushings on your camera gimbal’s vibration dampener wear out somewhat quickly? Have you noticed that during super cold temperatures the rubber bobbins get stiffer and is less effective? Have you ever noticed that many of the RTF $50K+ rigs seem to use some...

    best way to have a 2 man, 1 man gimbal setup?

    I'm doing this right now with one of my rigs... Basically there is a "wireless" buddy box "box" that you can get from Hobbyking for like $9 that will accomplish this. It will allow you to have control of pitch and pan when the 2nd radio is off and then when it's on, gives pitch and pan to that...

    XAircraft Xaircraft?

    I'm speculating but from what I know of Drew from my interactions, I think his family business is very successful, and he was doing XA US on his own. I wonder if the family business needed him and he went. Again, no first hand knowledge, just speculating. But when I did hang with Drew he was a...

    Hoverfly Opinions About The AG550v2 w/ Hoverfly Controller Board?

    Yep the day the brushless gimbal was released it CRUSHED the servo gimbal market. NOW... if you were planning on taking STILL pictures then this may be a different conversation. I know some "still pic" cats that still use a single axis servo driven gimbal with amazing results.

    XAircraft Xcope Pro

    I used to have a SuperX rig that weighed more than that with 740KV Tmotors spinning 12" props and on a 6000 mAh 4S pack I'd get 12 - 13 minutes! And my motors would usually vary about 10 - 13% Here was the pig... it was heavy but flew GREAT!

    Ikarus on order.

    There was a huge discussion on that video and the owner chimed in, there was a FC problem. The guy is an excellent pilot (3D helicopters and all) and tried going between modes... Everyone jumped on the guy and gave their 2 cents, and it ended up the guy was very knowledgeable and experienced...
