    ritewing ZXL

    DUDE!! That Sux. . . . At least she slid for home I hope all of the gear checks out for the rebuild. I can see the telltale vertical shake my TL50 did before it snapped at 110mph. . . How I solved it for my V2 was a "boxed" spar system.

    Y6 Builders thread

    Well the most of you guys are saying use the same motors and props sooo that is where I will start. I am going to pass on the mk offer, Thanks though. . . . If I upgrade from my current gear I'll be looking at either hoverfly or dji ;) Off to go grab a half dozen of everything. LOL Thanks...

    Y6 Builders thread

    hmmm . . . I thought the kv X voltage determined the speed of the motor?? (with the exception of overloaded motors) That is why I was thinking about higher kv motors on the bottom. Most ppl seem to be using th same motors top and bottom soo I think that is where I will start. ;)

    Y6 Builders thread

    I have heard the opposite also. . . use larger props on the bottom. . . That is why I am a bit confused. . . it seems that there are a bunch of different theories. How did you get the lower motors to spin faster? Can it be adjusted in most FC's GUI?? ( i plan on using CC to start)

    Y6 Builders thread

    I have some questions about y6 setups and graupner props. All of the graupner props are 5 pitch that are available cw/ccw AFAIK. I have read that the lower props should have a higher pitch. You guys run same pitch top and bottom and tune down the top motor to spin a bit slower? If so would it be...

    Fly a nex-5 at around 100mph?? whoa that will be AWESOME. . . . It took me 1kw to make a TL50 do 120mph in level flight w/o hd camera, only fpv gear. Are you trying to do this with the ZXL??

    That's a super long wing. . . great for out in mojave. . . man, I miss Cali. I moved from Ventura this spring. are you going to do split elevons? I think that would be cool, you could program in air brakes and/or crow for landing and slowing down in vertical situations :cool: Nex 5 might be just...

    FPV for pilot

    I think I do. . . . A "fpv" set-up will give you the orientation you are looking for at long line of sight distances. . . sayyy 200meters? It can "guide" you to framing your "shot" as well but that "framing" will not be very accurate as the lenses of the "fpv" cam and the AP cam are most...

    Flip of death

    I only saw one white flash here and there in a group of 3-4 red flashes. What happens if you "chip" a prop in flight . . . . I fly "fpv" style and would not see the occasisonal white flash of the led causing my copter to "self destruct" Not a good look by DJI. IMO I am looking for a flight board...

    New Motors

    How would these motors compare to the T-motor 900kv? http://www.rcdude.com/servlet/the-2050/Cobra-C-dsh-2808-fdsh-30-Brushless-Motor/Detail I am thinking about the cobra motors as they are rated a bit higher in watts 300 vs 210 and only 5 grams heavier. I am also thinking I might like the higher...
