    XAircraft XAIRCRAFTAMERICA.com---Do Not Buy

    It might also be a good idea if anyone who has purchased the SuperX from another dealer in the US share your experiences. The SuperX really does live up to its name and it would be a shame if people didn't consider it for future builds. Although I have not purchased any of my SuperX's from...

    Association of Commercial Unmanned Aircraft Systems - ACUAS.org

    In context of what's going on with this issue, that article is old news. A court ruled that the FAA had to stop issuing Cease and Desist letters and subpoena's. That's also why most of the information requested on the sign up is voluntary. ACUAS.org has no intention of being a conduit of...

    XAircraft Xaircraft?

    I recently purchased an upgrade from Basic to a Standard from XAircraft America and it took far longer than it should have to get the code from XAircraft. Finally XAircraft Australia sorted it out for me and helped me get it going. I don't know what's happening between XAircraft America and...

    I think that using older software on an older computer will only exacerbate your problem. There are different levels of Adobe CC, I think it starts as low as $9.50/month. Even at $50/month its a great bargain for all that you get provided you know how to use it. A couple of thoughts: If...

    XAircraft SuperX

    I think we came to a similar conclusion through a different path. I'm not exactly sure how the SX is calibrating the sticks during setup but I did notice it made a difference to arming by where the sticks were, relative to center (50%) during the setup procedure. So instead of changing end...

    Representation for Commercial sUAS

    The FAA don't have a clue the shape of their hole and they won't know until they pull their head out of it. And we can't seem to agree on the shape of our peg. The MPAA is a trade organization and they did exactly what they should have, represent their members. AOPA is doing the same for...

    XAircraft SuperX

    When I had an issue arming the first set of KDE's I read through all the changing end points and all that stuff and none of it helped. So I thought it must be a problem with the KDE ESC's but then I tried going through the entire SX setup again and when I completed it everything armed. So I...

    Representation for Commercial sUAS

    Finally, someone willing to talk about the"why" the regulations should be what they're going to be rather than "what" the regulations should be. Its an issue of process and the issue becomes much more interesting if we discuss the process. Kloner, and the others represented by the MPAA are...

    XAircraft SuperX

    I'm not sure what problems have been reported but I'm using the 35A KED ESC's with 475KV KDE motors with the SX and haven't hd any problems. I have not flown them a great deal, I go through phases where I build more than I fly, then once I have everything built I do pretty extensive test flying...

    Rewire...or not.

    That should be pretty easy to figure out without having to rewire your rig. Another thing you might want to consider is instead of running three wires the length of your boom from the ESC's to the motors, for a total of six wires per boom, you might want to run just two 12 gauge power wires...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    No quite sure I understand your concern. There's not a lot of soldering to do on this board. The only soldering I had to do was the power cables. Its a bit bigger than the AlexMos but it pretty much mounts the same way and is quite intuitive to tune. Its not that different from any other...

    Fantastic use of a drone (yeah I said drone)...

    I think that's kind of the point, what is actually happening here? I saw a documentary about how wildlife, mainly ferrel cats are taking over the city. There is a completely new food chain starting to develop that all of the "experts" said couldn't happen for centuries. It would be...

    XAircraft SuperX

    I obviously didn't program the SX, but since no one that did chimes in on this forum I'll take a stab at your question. I don't see why the SX would be any different from most of the other controllers I've worked with, but all the flight controllers I've worked with use...

    lets define "minimal quadcopter"

    That's funny. I live in North America and I had to look it up too... Are you going to sell them or would you be willing to post the specs of the frame here? It looks like a lot of fun. A lot of these MR's are getting so big and expensive that it isn't as much fun as it used to be.

    How to stop an expensive crash

    To be fair, he had mentioned this in another thread, I think a lot of people here might be interested in this sort of solution so I suggested that he post it in its own thread. I guess I should have specified where I though he might want to start it. Don't you think as this site grows in...

    Fantastic use of a drone (yeah I said drone)...

    Its amazing to see the scope of the disaster. It looks like it was such a thriving city, now its just abandoned. I think if I new that I was going into the Zone with a Drone I would have taken along some sensors that could have provided more information about the environment. There also...

    Not what we need in the news

    Sounds encouraging, but you should go and start your own thread about it. Most won't find your announcement in this thread. Regarding the MR coming through the roof, the (rather attractive) news person actually said that it broke through the roof but they found the quad on top of the roof. My...
