    Triple Tree has expanded so much you may not recognize it. But it's still beautiful! And yes.. the beer truck still lives there on BBQ day!

    Hoverfly 2013 Joe Nall Fly-in re-cap video using my Aerdro XY8 Rig with Hoverfly Pro...

    Thanks.. it can be way batter.. WAY but I'm always rushed... People have no patience! Also my other cam is getting grainy and I don't know why. The footage from teh NEX looks great, my Canon HG-21... not so much. Both shooting ACHVD. I need to get a different "non flying cam" I think.

    New battery technology

    Sounds awesome. But I'm waiting for the "but they instantly give you brain cancer" statement to follow all the awesomeness.

    Hoverfly New Aerdro XY8 w/ Hoverfly Pro/GPS going home!

    THE HOVERFLY PRO is a walk in the park compared to the Naza. It's very straight forward. I love HF.

    WOW!!! talk about risky aerial filming. No MR's but...

    There was a video of one of these guys who misjudges a gap. And believe it or not he did survive. He had several broken things and was in bad shape for a while, but he is back jumping again. I guess some people are missing a screw or something.. :D

    Looking for a good but cheapER Y6 frame... Any advice? What's the best Y6?

    Those look interesting. Cheap too! I wonder how balanced they are.. Hmm.

    Looking for a good but cheapER Y6 frame... Any advice? What's the best Y6?

    http://www.foxtechfpv.com/1260-carbon-fiber-propeller-cwccw-p-522.html Those were the props that were UNFLYABLE. Horrible. At least the ones I got. They were very fragile, and the balance was so off it was insane. The hob hole was straight up mis-drilled on all 8 I had! The other ones look...

    Looking for a good but cheapER Y6 frame... Any advice? What's the best Y6?

    Sorry, I had put the motor to motor measurement. My arms are the 1/2 meter tubes with just under 2" cut off. I'm eyeballing the props now.

    Looking for a good but cheapER Y6 frame... Any advice? What's the best Y6?

    The weird motor must be the camera angle I took the picture it's aligned perfectly in person. I saw that as well and had to go look at the rig again to make sure it wasn't jacked up! The SF props seem to give the rig a slower, floatier flight. The Gemfan wood props seem to do a very nice job as...

    Looking for a good but cheapER Y6 frame... Any advice? What's the best Y6?

    Sorry for the delay, I am having a busy week. I'm running 12/38 APC SF on top and bottom, but I'm thinking of running APC SF 12/38 on top and 12/4 on bottom. The rig is 850mm from motor to motor. I also tried the Gemfan 12/4 wood props, and they took quite a bit of effort to balance but I do...

    HELP: Need Opinions on the possibility of different SimokK firmware?

    So last night I finished programming my octo and started to test out the motor direction. iPeaka 30am esc's (SimonK) on 800kv T-motors. I did the SimonK throttle calibration and got the beeps. 6 motors start perfectly, and 2 start at about 1/10th throttle. It just so happens the last two esc's...

    Back from Toledo

    Bart nice hanging out. Glad you got to see the other side of the hobby for a while. It's enough to make you say "I QUIT" or get more amped. :D

    Hoverfly New Aerdro XY8 w/ Hoverfly Pro/GPS going home!

    Man.. I am PUMPED! After some R&D and a whole bunch of sweat and blood from Bartman, I scored my new Aerdro XY8 today. I can not wait to get this puppy flying! Bartman and I had a pretty killer weekend at the 2013 Toledo show. And I finally got my new baby.. Here it is getting eyeballed by...

    Looking for a good but cheapER Y6 frame... Any advice? What's the best Y6?

    I think any of the coax rigs handle wind better because you are not flying a big disc of air like a flat 6 or 8. Coax also seem to descend better. And making money.. HAHAHAHA... trying to recoup some is more like it. But the RCG FG stuff is just part of my job, but I'm dumb and fund my own...

    Looking for a good but cheapER Y6 frame... Any advice? What's the best Y6?

    I'm keeping my Rusty frames, and the new one is a HEAVY INDUSTRIAL lift rig. Basically I intend to have 3 working rigs. My Y6 for windy days and risky situations (least expensive of my rigs) , it will be flying a gopro or Sanyo camcorder or NEX5. My Flat 8 (rusty UAP2) for calmer days...
