Hey Boris, Was just wondering if, in light of the new product that people are seeming to get pretty good results with; the ys-x6 by ZeroUAV, do you still think I should open my brand new (unused/unopened with View data radio) WKM or should I try returning Ian purchasing that system instead?

I enjoyed that very much, thank you. I saw Tabb and the FreeFly guys at the end of the video, so can only assume this was done by the masters themselves. I have much respect for the skills and abilities, both as engineers of great products as well as professional grade pilots. I have their...

Bart, nice writeup. I, too, have come to many of these points you've raised through my own trial-and-error and close inspection of the boards. It is assuring to see that another has noticed the capacitors not being well-soldered causing potentially malfunctioning boards or quirky ones as the...

Just figured I'd tell you all a story to stress how important it is to be more careful than ever with the current battery-chemistry of choice -- LITHIUM POLYMER: it would be prudent to keep a fire extinguisher in close reach of these crazy high-power charging setups, or just near any place you...

quick question for you guys who've been using the iCharger: I've been using the 3010B model for quite some time. I always knew there was a much more cost efficient method of supplying this beast, but in the absence of proper tutorials and/or tried and true knowledge regarding how to wire...

this is great news! thank you much for the update! I had spoken with Kimberly at length during NAB regarding a film project that was originally slated to be underway now actually in Puerto Rico, but has been slightly pushed back due to (who coulda guessed?) funding issues that suddenly arose...

guys, I gotta tell you I feel like I must be on the short bus here because it seem I only hear of a change in trends just when I've finally forked down the $$ for the system being phased-out. Here, again, I appeal to those who are obviously more versed in the cutting edge trend for the...

I'm listening... sounds interesting but I am also pretty certain that with the wealth of knowledgeable individuals present and contributing to this great website, this idea must have already been explored due to the goings on in the heavy lift multirotor threads currently which are inspecting...

DKTek, munch and all concerned: I have read and understand the totally screwed situation which has led rise to both of your points of view. Personally, I tend to trend toward DKTek's opinion since this could easily have been me had it not been for some unfortunate health issues that had me...

Odd, either no-one is reading this thread or no one has any clue or ideas that might lend a helping hand? Must be a cold day in h*ll as usually someone chimes in for a fellow pilot in need. Hopefully this will change by the time I wake up. Its 3:30 Los Angeles time and I gotta get some shut...

Just out of curiosity, as I have not heard of any such solution, but in the single-rotor domain there are much higher regarded ESCs than Castle Creations--for example Kontronics Jive & Jazz (though the prices certainly imply they better be killer at nearly 2-4x the price!!), but unfortunately...

Just out of curiosity, any reason for not opting for the Ice v2's? Chalk it up to ignorance on my part but I am uninformed as to the differences that have been made and whether or not they have any potential pros or cons for our intended usage.

Hey guys, just wanted to follow up on a response by redridinghood who proposed the possibility of me changing to WKM and then using CC Ice 75A (would the Icev2's be recommended even further?). In fact, I ended up buying an entire WKM w/ Waypoint and ground station/telemetry setup after thinking...

Hey guys, Been a while since I've been around due to some medical issues, but I'm back now. You know how they say that everything happens for a reason? I begin to wonder as had it not been for the recent health complication, I too would most likely have been airborne with the Aerodrive 8 and...

Hey, thanks so very much for the kind wishes. I just returned home from a big birthday dinner with lots of family and friends. Had a great time, but pretty quiet and definitely not the kind of wild parties I've had in previous years. Imagine, home before the bars even close?! I must be getting...

p.s. it might be a little bit because, since today is my birthday (04/12/19xx -- mystery age! wait, only girls do that ... I'm 32 today!!), I am being taken out for a late lunch by some old friends. I will get to taking pics asap though. Thanks again, everyone!

ok i will do as suggested. hopefully a learning experience for all...enjoy! Dear Andreas, thank you so much for your support. It really means a lot that you are there when a customer needs you, and at such short notice! After the bittersweet success I had yesterday afternoon, I simply put...

Ok, major update! Good news and bad news. Bad news: something is critically ****ed up now, most likely, as the Herkules began pouring smoke from the Elkos (i think that's what they're called -- the little components 4 pieces that were provided with the board to be soldered in place by...

I do not have a servo tester in the classical sense. I do have, although I'm not sure it is a 'servo tester' officially, is a small unit that I power using a small 4.8v receiver pack via a servo plug which will exercise a servo to its endpoints back-and-forth. Is this what you are talking...

I will try not connecting the ground cable to HFP now. Hmm...interesting you say disconnect ground, as posted above I seem to remember one trial I did at one point with a Hoverfly Sport that did not respond when not having a ground reference along with each signal cable, but I could be...
