    Hoverfly Powering the board with 6s

    The GPS also has the same regulators and would need to be cooled using a second heat sink. They look like this and there are two of them on the PRO and two on the GPS. I am not suggesting that you add a heat sink and I can't help you any further. I recommend that you use 5S.

    Hoverfly HF GPS not work

    I made this video today to demonstrate where some magnetic interference comes from in our multirotors. Keep in mind that as you fly and the current increases in your wiring harness the amount of magnetic interference and the distance the magnetic field extends beyond the wire also increases. I...

    Hoverfly Pilot needed for paid Cape Cod shoot

    I should add a few details. Paid yes but their budget is small so it needs to be someone close like Ken. Also, all flying will be from a boat over seawater. The show will be on NBC Sports Network from what I understand.

    Hoverfly Green board horizon scrolling on Setup software.

    This is strange. One thing that can happen is micro cracks in the inner layers of the board due to crashes. Also chips can begin to loose solid connection due to flexing during a crash.

    Hoverfly Hoverfly from a boat?

    No there is an arming sequence. And once armed the propellers still don't turn until you raise the throttle you have full control over them. But yes you should disarm when approaching the craft.
