    Hoverfly Something Big?

    I'm not sure how important responding to forums is for customer support and satisfaction. Maybe they didn't get the kinds of returns needed to justify the amount of time these forums consume. I don't think the lack of activity really means much to real customers, more to those either on the...

    Hoverfly Something Big?

    Interesting concept I guess. I'm not sure why they think it won't be subject to FAA rules. I don't believe the rules differentiate between "Radio" controlled or "Remotely" controlled, its still flying into the air and if your charging money for it I bet the FAA will try to force it into the...

    XAircraft what is that smell

    Hey Drew, a lot of people respect my opinion too and I post my experiences, good and bad in great detail. Can I get a discount?

    XAircraft Building a Super-X Quad Need Advice.

    Thanks Drew for the responses. I considered the Tarot 810, nice frame but I already have a HEX and a quad, I like how the quad flies better than the Hex so decided to build a medium lift quad and if I need more power either a Y6 or X8. On paper all these ESC's appear to be remarkably similar...

    Is all of the GH3 footage? Looks really good. How does a GH3 compare wight wise to a 7D? What lens do you use? I liked the footage, however, there has to be a law against sampling the Eurytmics in a RAP song?

    XAircraft Building a Super-X Quad Need Advice.

    Thanks, I'm not sure I can take the pressure. Besides you know how long it takes me to build multi's. The frames done!! I want to fly an NEX w/gimbal, you don't think that would work with a quad?

    The only reason I don't believe there's no post stabilization is that no one can be that good... Ken, thats some really smooth footage and what I like about it is that it doesn't look like aerial footage, it doesn't "swim" all over the place. Looks like its a 200ft jib shot. How many people...

    XAircraft Building a Super-X Quad Need Advice.

    Thanks for the reply. Aren't the 2814 rated at 4S? If they can take 5S I might try that. Is the performance as different between 4S to 5S as it is from 3S to 4S? These ESC's have the SimonK Firmware, do you know whether they work with the Super-X?

    Anyone? Also how do attach these props to the Avroto's? Do they come with the necessary screws?

    If you want criticism you've come to the right place! I'm kind of mad at you because that's some of the best AP of one subject [all about the college] that I've seen and I think your fishing for compliments and you won't get any of those here. Seriously, that is some of the best AP out...

    I think we're all waiting for the same thing.

    Hoverfly Something Big?

    Has anyone flown a Pixhawk? I wonder how it compares to the Super-X?

    Was just thinking

    Bart, for me it's been less about the money and more about how complicated it is to setup. When I got into MR there was no way I was going to spend that much money on something I knew I was probably going to destroy. DJI was one of the first to lower the barrier of complexity and price to the...

    Cool footage. Did you get my PM?

    Another one bites the dust!

    Nice setup. Its interesting that this led to a debate of different frame configurations rather than controller issues. It looked pretty obvious early on that the S800 had control issues and it sounded like all motors were working. I think the airframe you choose should be based on the mission...
