    XAircraft XAIRCRAFTAMERICA.com---Do Not Buy

    This really bums me out. I had got to know Drew from XAircraft America quite well last year. He’s a very nice guy and seemed to be a very good person. I am not making excuses for the actions of the company, but it does bother me that this is happening. The SuperX is a proven flight control and...

    Hoverfly Opinions About The AG550v2 w/ Hoverfly Controller Board?

    I used to use the Hoverfly gimbal; board with a Cinestar gimbal, and it was very nice. I sold a 2 axis Servo driven Cinestar gimbal for about $250 with the hoverfly controller! So I think you are looking at about $50 to $75 for the entire deal. Since the brushless revolution the value of any of...

    Do Motors Matter? Testing Name Brand VS No-Name in the Real World.

    Thanks guys, Bart and I hope to do a lot in the next year to try and report back in a real world way on as much stuff as we can get our hands on. There is so much coming out and so much hype behind some products, it should be nice to get the truth out when ever we can!

    Why Build When You Can Print A Micro Quad!

    I'm sure that is a possibility. Also I'm a weirdo, a vegan, so I'd have to wrap mine in Fakon... the vegan bacon. :D

    Why Build When You Can Print A Micro Quad!

    I have to admit, I have never been much of a "sport" quad or "FPV" quad enthusiast. I was always more interested in the aerial video aspect of multi rotors and gravitated to the larger rigs. Recently I was invited to fly some FPV and smaller sport quads and I have to admit I got hooked. So the...

    DJI Ronin - who has one? thoughts?!

    Ok, so I have a Movi M5 and I LOVE IT. But I like flying it as much as I like handheld. And although you can swap it back and forth, I would almost just like to leave my M5 attached to my rig as seen here... SO... anyone have a Ronin? Using it for handheld stuff? Hows the “autotune” Hows the...

    I need some led strips.

    I have had great luck with the “BMW style LED driving lights” from ebay. Like $10 for two usually available in many colors (I use red and blue) waterproof and BRIGHT... On 3S they hurt your eyes, and can be seen during the day. Also the wires are all nicely encased... I also “Bend” them around...
