    F450 Naza V2 or Pixhawk?

    It has ports that you can control servo driven gimbals, but I think DJI is the only one that connects to the Zenmuse gimbal. But as far as I know all other brushless gimbals use a separate gimbal controller so you don't need to connect to the FC.

    F450 Naza V2 or Pixhawk?

    That's the $64,000 question. You'll hear all sorts of explanations, the fact that there are so many explanations should tell you something. Its possible to have problems with all FC's but for me the DJI's just did weird things. I've been debating building an X8 with the SuperX, if I do I'll...

    So where do Phanton owners get their brains?

    Think about what your really saying, force people who take this seriously as a profession to pay a lot to purchase certified MR's and to get certified but allow idiots like this to do what they want. Why, because we get paid. That's "performance punishment and non performance rewarding." Its...

    F450 Naza V2 or Pixhawk?

    It really depends on what your trying to do. I don't like DJI, so I'm biased against it. I had two fly away's, one caused serious injury so I don't trust them. So at least you know where I'm coming from.. I've had quite a few different controllers, the Hoverfly Pro was by far the one I...

    So where do Phanton owners get their brains?

    I don't know if your right, but your funny.. I know this might be a surprise but he looked like the only guy in that crowd stupid enough to by a Phantom in the first place. I think the reaction of the crowd is telling, they didn't give it a second thought, some girls almost walked directly...

    F450 Naza V2 or Pixhawk?

    DJI's are great, right up to the point they fly uncontrollably. If you want the best position and hold then look at SuperX. Actually, I don't know if its the best, never flown Pixhawk, but its much better the NAZA.

    Police are starting to fear model planes.

    Well the Constitution's a couple of hundred years old, if they followed the constitution none of this FAA crap would be happening in the first place. Its easy to armchair quarterback 9/11, noticing something odd about someones behavior especially during flight training, what would you do...

    Police are starting to fear model planes.

    Good old Ben Franklin said it best: “Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.”

    I want your life... What brand props are those. The reason I keep asking is because of this post #173 - igor88: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2133373&page=12 Prop efficiency 15": T-motors 15x5V2 vs Tarot 2812 Received 6 pairs of Tarot 2812 props. Get it from Range video...

    XAircraft SuperX with Y6

    Wow that's nice. Its also the reason I keep waffling on my decision. I really like how my SX quad flies but I keep gravitating towards an X8 because of the "idea" of redundancy. A well built quad just seems so much simpler to diagnose, tune and just easier overall. What lens is in your...

    XAircraft SuperX with Y6

    Thanks. I agree. I'm not sure why these much larger MR's are so popular? Much harder to transport, much heavier and they don't really have that much more payload capability than say a much lighter X8 with 15" props. I guess its because with the larger props and lower KV motors they can get...

    XAircraft SuperX with Y6

    Are you flying with ESC's at the end of the booms? If so is there any noticeable difference? I've noticed a lot more MR's with the ESC on the end of the booms, I've also been watching a friend who built a large OCTO, 23" props, 380KV motors (I think) and CC ESC's on the end of the booms with a...

    Commercial sUAS petition is live at Whitehouse.gov

    I've said this before, the value in your petition was not the petition itself but the effort to organize people around a common cause. Trouble is the common cause isn't the rules but the desire to operate an sUAS business profitably. The AMA does a good job of representing the hobby but there...

    Two drones almost collide with NYPD chopper

    It might be meaningful symbolism to those that have already heard the calling of AP, they certainly might of inspired people to purchase a Phantom and join the fun, but that's kind of part of the problem. I'm quite aware of the people doing incredible AP and have said many times how amazing the...

    Flew my drone through a firework display

    I recently shot aerial at an Int'l airport, yes ATC laid out the ground rules and the TSA supervised but everyone cooperated and it was a good day. It would be interesting to know if the Airport Administrator has spoken to the people he thinks is interfering with flight operations. Also, if...
