    RC Timer S800 clone

    Problems or not, straight copying is sad. So much time and $$$$ is spent in R&D and the consumer never takes that into account. I'm a "un-wealthy" guy, meaning that when I spend a dollar it means something, and I'd rather pay more for the original than a clone/ (99% of the time). This makes a...

    Finally I have a small quad that can record jello Free GoPro footage!

    I'm on 3S, and the motors seem really efficient with the 10" props. Not even warm when I landed. (it was 28 deg F though) I got 8 min on a 3S 2600 pack with 500 left in it. It seemed REALLY smooth as well. And I LOVE the HF S. I have the gain cranked pretty high and added some expo to slow my...

    Finally I have a small quad that can record jello Free GoPro footage!

    And I know I left the motor leads long and wrapped them around the arms which looks sloppy, but I have another project for these some day so I didn't want to cut them. :nevreness:

    Finally I have a small quad that can record jello Free GoPro footage!

    SUCCESS! After quite a while I finally realized a goal. That goal was to have a small mobile quad for a GoPro 3 that I'm not afraid to get into "sticky" situations, fly a bit faster and even "risk" if the shot is right. After sourcing the stuff I wanted, I started on the quest. Two frames, 3...

    Xoar carbon fiber props

    Sorry to hijack the thread. Benjamin... your work is awesome. I've been in the RC industry for 15 years and was getting bored with it, and found multi rotor AV, and it rejuvenated me. And then seeing your work made me obsessed! Keep posting your projects! They inspire! Ok.. Butt kissing...

    Clear view, roll/tilt, waterproof GoPro

    Wow really nice. Would love to see the rig. That would make small rigs a lot more usable in tight spaces!

    Manuel Santos, XFC pilot, and now a A/V Extraordinaire!

    Oh wow, I'm sure we had to, I played at all the fun spots down there. Fever, Buzz, and Lonnies parties. Great times. I was really sad to hear about Jason. Real bummer. Dude was so nice.

    Hoverfly Sport hard throttle climb=crashing

    How do you calibrate the throttle range on the assistant? I'm having the same problem with a small quad I built running the HFS. I calibrated the esc's a few times and all motors are working together, but same deal, I'll get a hover give it a little throttle and it shoots to the moon.. What ROM...

    from multi-rotor to plane...

    I went in the opposite direction. Been flying planes for 12+ years. And Heli's for a little while as well. Got bored of all the 40%ers and started playing with multi's. Now I'm a wackjob. I haven't had this much fun in a long time. Even just the whole learning curve is awesome. When you know...

    Hoverfly Down to my last multirotor

    Nice video! I have a rusty's type Y6 running a HF Sport as well. I love that rig, but I also notice around a 20% decrease in flight time over a standard Hex 6. I think it's the spacing between the rotors not causing a "cushion" of air. But I think this is why a Y6 descends better. Anyways, can...

    Hoverfly Calibrate ESC's or?? Using HF Sport. (Choppy Throttle)

    So I tried everything. I individually calibrated the ESC's (I think) and it was a bit better but not good. I switched to 8" props instead of the 10". Did not really help. I am getting frustraited today. And again the HF board seems like it wants to be solid, but the throttle choppiness is...

    Hoverfly Calibrate ESC's or?? Using HF Sport. (Choppy Throttle)

    Ok.. so I built up a smaller rig to be able to do some indoor filming in tighter spaces. (A print show wants me to do a production floor run from above capturing the LONG 6 color presses) I built this guy around a HF Sport board flashed with the latest AV rom. I pulled the 20 amp ESC's from...
