I like Droiworx frames. I think I would go with an X8 or a foldable frame if I could get decent flight times. Having a fancy, expensive rig that only stays in the air three minutes is no fun. It's like having a sports car and a drop of fuel in the tank. I personally don't want a big...

This sounds like a loosely written law meant to keep law enforcement from using drones without warrant. It can also get flyers in a bind if law enforcement stretches the intent during any encounter where someone complains about flyers with cameras.

It's bold but also risky. Are they manufacturing their own flight control system? On the positive side they could set a new standard for quality. On the negative side they could ruin their name if they have systems that fail.

I like that!

Did your craft lock up like this: YouTube skip to 8:12. http://youtu.be/jDM6kaNd84E

Quads are fun, light, and easily transportable. I think the only advantage a Hexa has is the ability to carry more weight. Redundancy of a Hexa is questionable and depends on so many factors. A quad will easily carry a Gopro and will probably get some great flying time on the cheap: less...

Wow. Yeah...infrastructure is probably a big no-no after 9/11. Its bad that you're already suspect flying anything with a camera on it. Team Blacksheep's videos are cool. If you've had a multi-rotor go down, then you'll have a deep respect for falling objects and the damage they can cause.

Do you think that you pushed your ESCs too hard?

Cool video! I think science fiction will have a harder time topping reality after seeing videos like this. :)

I have a 10.1 inch Leadstar monitor, but I can't use the RCA to mini AV jack. The only thing I see is a blue screen. My HDMI connection works, but I need the AV jack for my video transmitter. Is there a solution, setting, or work around instead of getting another monitor? Your help is...

Hacking DJI's flight controller is not worth it, especially when you consider the already low cost of the system. You can buy Zero Uav's system with waypoints for about the same cost of the NAZA or WKM. Heres a cheap method for a waypoint: Determine where you want your aircraft to land...

I used a 3S 6000 mah battery with 8 inch APC props and got 9 minutes of flight time with Avroto 2814/11s motors. I'm sure I could achieve longer flight time with different props.

I have Avroto motors on my DJI F-550 converted Y6. I bought, but didn't use arm extension. I can see how any vibration could be transferred from the mounts to the craft. I just wonder about how your craft starts out smooth and then goes crazy. Do you think that the vibration has some...

Lol. Man...I almost crapped myself laughing at your description. I can almost picture what your craft is doing. Check to see that you didn't cover up those little holes on the IMU with the tape. What temperature are you flying in? Going from a warm house/car to cooler/cold conditions have...

It's probably a good thing that the waypoint feature is a paid addition. More so for the flyers sake vs. DJI. Imagine how many would try the feature right out of the box? its good to get an understanding of your craft and the system before trying advanced features. If you have the WKM you...

Not exactly related to multicopters, but this one is the pilot's mistake. It highlights the dangers of hobby and real world aircraft. Youtube circa 2010: http://youtu.be/hoZD9pczEVs

The DJI F450 is great for portability. There's nothing more cumbersome than transporting a big aircraft. The F-450 will allow you to take your craft just about anywhere. You probably have more transport options, especially if you find yourself hiking with intent of getting an aerial view. I...

I think that their new auto takeoff feature. I guess it will help prevent the flip overs when noobs don't give it enough throttle on take off. Can you turn off that feature?
