    Motors and Batteries

    I've been using Avroto 2814's for the past three years on a Quad and Y6, I've been using these on a Hex -- http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=18228 -- They aren't very efficient, I get about five minutes with 10" props and a 4S 5800 so I'm going to take the...

    Beautiful scenery! How long did it take to shoot that? What camera? The only criticism I have is that some of the shots are to short, I wanted to see more which is a good thing I guess. Very well done.

    Bummer about the S-Bus

    Hoverfly HFPro S-Bus

    Does the HFPro support S-Bus receivers? Also I watched the video tutorial about wiring up the controller and they left all the power wires connected on the ESC's but in the manual it says to leave one and disconnect the rest. Does everyone disconnect the power wire on the ESC signal connector?

    Hoverfly Lurkers - Slow Forum

    If you guys are looking to make this forum a little more active, I could use some help [sort of]. I built a Y6 and purchased a HFPro for it about 9 months ago but for some reason I've had a mental block in trying to get the HFPro flying. In the meantime I've built a DJI 330 quad and a Hex with...

    There was so much to like about that video. Greta color grading, editing, cinematography, beautiful women and aerial. What did you use for variable speed? Great job. I really enjoyed that.

    Gains and Setup for Hexacopter

    Although it was a bit windier than I would like for a maiden flight, I couldn't resist and flew my Hex. Flew great. I have a few questions, with the wind in GPS flight mode it rocked back and forth a little, not so much of an oscillation but more just fighting the wind. I've seen some NAZA's...

    Setting Up Voltage Monitoring

    Hi Dave, its nice to be back. Not sure where I got the Graupner props, I started this build over a year ago and someone recommended them.

    Setting Up Voltage Monitoring

    I think they're 12x6. Because of the issue I had with the "Low" Voltage protection setting I didn't fly enough to get a feel for how these props compare to the 11" SloFly's, also I'm using a Rusty UAP1 frame with rubber isolated motor mounts so it appears to be very smooth and quiet, but I...

    Setting Up Voltage Monitoring

    Thanks for the reply. I'll check that out and see if I can't come up with some sort of meaningful formula/explanation. I think your on the right track, I usually only fly for five or six minutes and like to land with around 40%. This subject seems to be a bit vague.

    need help with failsafe

    That's one wat to accomplish it but then you have to give up the Manual flight mode. I believe there is a way to mix a two position switch with the flight mode selector so that you can keep all your flight modes and switch in and out of failsafe if you want. I can't find my manual for my...

    need help with failsafe

    Sorry, I can't help, I have the same problem, different radio. It would be great if someone who know how to program radios for Failsafe would help. If I find any links that might help I'll post them here.

    Sony Nex 5n test flight.

    I have the 5n and have never owned the NEX5 but from what I understand they upgraded the sensor in the NEX5n so the 5n shoots 1080 at 60P and the NEX5 shoots 1080i. Not sure what other differences there might be but that was enough of a difference for me to get a 5n for AP.

    Arming NAZA

    Thanks Ed, and everyone else for that matter. Everything is working well on the bench without props, hopefully I'll fly it tomorrow. The GPS calibration was very easy, thanks. Is anyone flying a NAZA with a Futaba 10CHG Tx? If so how do you setup fail safe? It seems easy enough to replace...

    Arming NAZA

    Just in case anyone else is following this. Ok, I tried changing the end points for the throttle and that didn't work. Although all the control calibrations seemed correct I decided to try a normal six channel receiver rather than the SBUS, everything calibrated as it should but still no...
