    Gimbals & Encoders 2nd half 2015 Have we Arrived?

    That's where we got it from (via Gremsey user FB page). But they don't differentiate or detail the various options. I'm guessing from some of the responses here from Gremsy on other threads here.

    Gimbals & Encoders 2nd half 2015 Have we Arrived?

    I think all the accessories are extra. That is definitely how the H6 is being sold. The dampener plate, quick release block, case etc are extra.

    R&D Hex for Survey/Imaging/Conservation

    I think the justification for the KDE ESCs to go with the motors is that they have been tested specifically together. I have had some issues with other brands of motors not working with particular ESCs. That said, the cost is much more than other options. And some people have had good luck...

    Gremsy will be releasing their H6 soon.

    I'll also be curious to see @SleepyC review of the H6. I think he may have it already.

    They mention July on their site.

    ^^^ +459!!! :) Hobby king is great for super cheap stuff. Silicone wire has been decent, connectors, etc. but ultimately, you'll save cash if you do it right the first time. And a TON of aggravation!!!

    Motor help

    I think small props cut through wind better, and in my experience the are a bit more "zippy." But typically AV/P rigs go with a larger prop for the lift and the lower RPM. You don't really want zippy with aerial video :) My rigs don't have huge props. 15" max on my biggest MR.

    Quad Parts List

    I assuming you meant 90A and 40v? If so, the motors you linked state 30A Max (x4). You will hopefully never run max amps through the system - but this not something you want crapping out when you're in the air.

    Motor help

    Lack of efficiency will lead to less flight time. Any time you're losing power to heat - less time in the air, as well as potential wear and tear on a motor. The only advantage to 5S might be cheaper batteries if it made sense design wise.

    Motor help

    If you're going for the 6S, only the 2nd linked motor is appropriate. Seems you'd be right about perfect on thrust with a 12" prop. Not sure about the 650 to 680 swap. You'd have to check the length of the booms on both to see if it would save money over just buying the whole 680 kit...

    Motor help

    I don't think you've given us all the info, sorry if I missed it. Is your estimate of 2600g including an estimate of the battery weight??? What maximum size props does the quad accept? Were you planning on 4S? Or 6S batteries?

    Very minimal flight time please help!!

    No sweat. As old man said - sunnysky is a great mid-level priced motor. And they will come with the bolt-on style.

    Very minimal flight time please help!!

    The better motors will not come with the collet style adaptor - and if they do, you want to replace with a prop mount that bolts to the top of the bell, and has a threaded post. Use nyloc nuts on the post. That should take care of it. And can I say, the original replacement motor should not be...

    I agree the forums can be a great place to gather info and tips - and often, the fine folks here have gotten me out of a jam. And for better or worse, many companies dealing in this hobby seem to leave the "support" completely to the forums. This can be frustrating if you've tried all the...

    If you can afford the extra weight - dual batteries may help in case one goes bad - and has the additional mah as well.
