    To Close For Comfort

    Nice Video! Love how you incorporated the train audio track into the video. Did you use a separate recorder for the train because there is no multirotor noise?

    VERY dissapointed in dominator V3's

    Thanks for the followup. For any given frequency there is a corresponding antenna length that matches it perfectly. That length is more critical to transmitting then receiving. 5.8 ghz Radio transmitters for FPV only use one antenna but transmit on up to 40 channels. The range of frequencies is...

    Not familiar with KK2. sorry

    Noise from motors during full throttle.

    Hmm.... Hard to say exactly, maybe its nothing but it does seem abnormal. Consider tethering it to the ground and running it through its paces. At least you will be able to observe it directly, Then you could also do a temp check on the motors etc after you power down. When you tether it make...

    Wire problem

    No you don't need to twist them. The "protection sleeve" is nice but they never seem to give you quite enough. I only used it on my Tarot where the arm pivots and the wire could rub. Are you running the wires inside your arms or outside? On the 3 wires question. Going to the ESC, red is + and...

    Wire problem

    No you don't have to twist it. If you mount your esc's on the end of the arms there could be a problem with inductance but if you are mounting them near the center its reduced to the point where its not a concern. Some people twist the positive and negative power leads (not servo leads) going to...

    More Specific Question About Burned Up ESC's

    Which side of the esc did the wire come off of? the input side or the output side? It's hard to say if the motors being locked up caused the esc to fry. Were all 4 motors not spinning when it was upside down or just the 2 with bad esc's? Its worth it to change out the esc's and motors just to be...

    Wire problem

    Yes you can combine them. The temp rating probably has to do with the insulation. The servo leads will be fine too. Red (positive) is always in the middle, black/brown is negative. The other wire (white/yellow) is for signal.

    New setup.

    I believe so. 4 ch's is the minimum for a multirotors, Throttle, aileron, elevator, rudder.

    New setup.

    There shouldn't be any difference. I think the regular one will fit in a 250 frame just fine.

    Well a man needs something to keep him busy.

    That's normal for the gimbal to shake with out any weight on it.

    Yep, should be adequate.

    Hello People

    Our sky's are probably just as crowded with 2.4 and 5.8 ghz as well although I suppose it would be worse in some areas than others. Its my understanding that there isn't much difference between radio transmitters in the UK, Europe, Asia and the US (besides mode 1 and mode 2). Manufactures rarely...

    Hubsan H501S X4 FPV Brushless Help

    Yes your right to replace those, Its possible the motors are okay. The question is why did 2 of them fry in the first place?

    Hello People

    Yes it is and its pretty much the standard of what everybody is using for FPV. As for the radio and it's receiver no one is doing that, mainly because its not really needed and wouldn't increase reliability enough to justify it.

    What is the best FPV set up for $250?

    There was a fatshark set up out there for around $250 that included entry level goggles, 250mw transmitter and I think a camera as well. I bought one a few years ago. I'm not sure if that same deal is still around. Putting together a system by buying components individually would be possible...

    Is that your isolated cabin in the Montana wilderness where you're writing your manifesto? LOL just kidding Cooter. Nice man cave. Looks similar to my garage only I have more cobwebs.

    CC3D PID best settings for hexacopter

    Well you could dial down your basic gains but a better idea might be to add "expo" to your flight controls on your radio. there are a few good you tube videos out there that explain what expo is and what it does. It may be what your looking for. I set it up on one of my radios on a 3 position...

    Well it finally happened

    Having passenger planes remotely operated without a pilot on board will probably come true in the future. I personally hope I never see it. I like having the pilot up front who has a personal stake in the outcome of the flight. If he screws up he dies, that's a great way to motivate him into not...
