This is not the case. Possibly someone can link to a page with a more descriptive explanation, but the motors can draw more than is available, causing over-current fault in ESC and subsequent failure. Otherwise, there would be no issue with using oversized motors like the Plettenbergs in...

Impressive setup

haven't seen it myself, but from the description I might guess they are intended as the washer to be placed above the prop before screwing down the retainer? note me know if I guess correctly. Otherwise, try to post ID/OD measurements for more accuracy.

Too bad, I was hoping for the .01% chance they were going for an all out cross-country to visit the California office, in which case I would've lived to meet up with the team and possibly offer some supplies to aid in testing/tuning! ;(. Have a fun, productive trip nonetheless!

Where is HF's headquarters located?

No offense taken, I was just saying... ;)

Benjamin, Would that road trip happen to be to their west coast location (near Los Angeles)? If so, I've got the same setup, only mounted below a SkyJib, that I'd like to contribute to the research with. Let me know and maybe we can both pitch in to nail this problem's solution down! -Jonathan

Just include the photos inline within your post, so we can all see the problem and solution!!

"Would" or "wouldn't be" surprised??

Just use extra caution, as our friend BorisS can vouch for, when tinkering with the Wookong (as for any FC, for that matter) and remember the cardinal rule...remove the props when testing on the bench! I'm so sorry to see that you got nipped by the copter, BorisS! Thankfully the battery came...

Just a word of advice: based on the 'revolutionary' designs posted above, I would speak cautiously when challenging such lminaries in the field as Kimberly. I know, I know...mind my own business. I just don't want to see this turn into a laughing matter, that's all. I would repeat the words...

Sorry I must be a bit slow on the uptake today... Is the brass banjo washer setup supposed to address the testing configuration question or a solution to the OP? Either way, this sounds interesting and fwiw I am down to take on some of the testing; have no objections to spending a little time...

AMP, that setup looks fantastic! Just to confirm my suspicion, but th reason you don't outfit the leading arms with lights is to avoid discolouring photographs and or video by having light contamination? Anyway, keep up the good work...looking sharp!

I am hooked on this thread right now, as coincidentally I went last Friday to the local hardware store to pickup some solid copper conductor (actually used for common grounding in AC installations, or at least that's what the store employeed explained it as...). Great minds think alike? ;) Just...

Appropriate question considering the "we" and endorsements...

Ken, any further updates in your findings regarding the WKM/ZeroUAV comparison? I am still in the process of figuring out whether to develop a smll case of buyers remorse for investing in the WKM+900MHz data radio (hopefully will get the single waypoint upgrade once I finally open the box...

Hvp gain reduction I, too, have the black HVP board and as far as I can tell by the description given, this does appear to be the solution. I recall having to reduce the gain to either 20% or 25%, for both mode/sw-pos gain setting (ie. +/- 20%, for JR or Spektrum). Let us know if this is...

I'm very interested to see what your results are and also thought that was a very net resting Wikipedia article excerpt regarding the comparison between stranded and solid wire gauges. The reason for my interest in this is that for my new SkyJib 8 (long term work in progress) that will use 8 x...

I, personally, have my multirotor addiction rooted in single rotor 3D helicopter flight. This is the reason that, unlike the posts for me, I have to tell you that I think this is a fantastic idea, obviously not for AP flight, but for fun. Ironically, after leaving the park today with my...

Hi there, just wanted to chime in and say hello, as well as welcome you to the owner's club once you make a decision as to which way to go. There is one point I'm gonna make, which is simply that with any purchase you make, it's nearly impossible not to having some regrets. I, and I'm sure...
