    XAircraft Super X on TBS Discovery

    Some kind of military super thingie. I am really bummed that HoverFly didn't announce that they made their GPS work 50% as good as the SuperX or even the evil DJI. :D

    XAircraft Super X on TBS Discovery

    I'm sure an X8 is not a problem, as it's equal distance between booms. The XY8 is a squished version of the X8, where the front and back booms are 50% closer than the right and left booms.

    XAircraft Super X on TBS Discovery

    I tried it on my XY8 and that was the one rig the SuperX did not like. Seems like it did not like the squished configuration. It flew but had oscillations. Drew sent me the following diagram to try, but I had to use the system on another rig, so i put my HFP back on teh XY8 so i could just fly...

    New Sony A7.

    I'm way in dude, I've been at it for 3 years, made tons of mistakes early on had it all figured out with belt driven servos and then this year got bit by the brushless bug. I have 3 rigs that each are worth more than my damn car, so I'm already invested way beyond hobby. Also unlike a lot of...

    New Sony A7.

    For sale.... Everything. I wish I was just a schlub who could have been happy with a Phantom and a go pro. MAN I am so all in... my wallet just smacked me across the face.

    New Sony A7.

    This camera talk makes me lose my mind. I get set to get something and then I hear something else and panic. I have some decent cams to get some little work done but when I start to make an effort to get my new workhorse cam I get freaked out. I was going to go for a 5D but then it was the...

    XAircraft Super X on TBS Discovery

    I have a HFP and the SuperX kills it. It has the same smoothness but the Alt hold and GPS actually work. The SuperX just came out 3 + weeks ago hence why you are just hearing about it, I HATE how the DJI flys, HATe it, as a RC airplane pilot for over 20 years the DJI feels like a video game...

    Help! Hexacopter Build (First Timer)

    Believe it or not, to fly either of the cams you are talking about you are going to be in the $4000 - $6000 range, and MONTHS of tuning on the gimbal to get it to perform properly. i would highly suggest flying something smaller for a while as no amount of $$$ can replace experience. A little...

    XAircraft Super X on TBS Discovery

    From my understanding (and from what i have experienced) is if you let your rig find satellite signal (ie. gets 2 green lights in GPS mode) before you take off, you can move the rig, and "home" is defined as the place you started the props. I have locked SAT in one area, walked 50 feet and...

    XAircraft Super X on TBS Discovery

    I have my 3rd SuperX coming to me today. I love it. Your report reflects everything I have found as well. Solid unit.

    Carbon Fiber Props Deteriorating ~ Failing

    I have had good and bad luck with the 15/5 RCTimer "T-motor' clone props. This is a pic of one new from the package. I just do a quick NON-destructive flex test to listen for any weird noise. This prop squeaked. After close inspection I found a crack near the hub which lead to an area of...

    Zero UAV Is the Zero UAV a good product?

    I have used Naza, Wookong, Hoverfly, Xaircraft, KK2 and MultiWii and the Zero UAV systems were insane to try and configure. I spent 2 weeks trying to find a computer that would actually work with the software, even bought a tablet to get the YS X6 system up and running and it was fruitless. I...

    XAircraft Ground Control Station For SuperX

    I think this is great. And it's nice to see new functions being added right after the unit just came out. I really hope that Xaircraft has the enthusiasm to continue this, as the FC works so well I really would like to see the features grow and become the DJI killer! :D

    Group Build 2014, DJI NAZA/F450 Quadcopter!

    I like the Quadframe US 530mm Medium lift frame. It's more "real' looking tough and can take the electronics you are describing. You can choose a ton of LG for it and fit any kind of gimbal you want. just a thought.

    XAircraft SuperX

    I just ordered my 3rd SuperX. I'm hooked. i also used a SuperX on a review for RCG for the Avroto LIFT series motors. Here's something pretty cool. I tuned the SuperX with NO payload on this HEX, and then we added 9 lbs of payload and I did not have to change the tuning! Check it out:

    Why are my Gopro3 video files playing back jumpy and not smooth?

    Also, GoPro files are super compressed, you may want to transfer them to a different format to watch them on a computer.

    Hoverfly Hobbyking Blue Series ESC with HFP - Can't use set-up client and other issues

    Try what Bart said, I had the same issue. unhooking 1&2 worked.

    XAircraft SuperX

    Just so you know, Paypal won't do anything unless it's over 30 days. How have you tried to contact Xaircraft? Phone? Which email? I know probably 7 people that have ordered and received their unit in 3 - 4 days. I think something happened to the order personally. i have no connection with them...
