Ken if you had no control of the gas during the flyaway then it has to be more than a calibration issue. There are no circumstances where the stick gas will be over-ridden...oh... except for one... As long as radio contact is established, you should always be able to drop gas to min gas and...

The stock caps aren't special unless H&I put some magic juice into them.:rolleyes: I thought they were about 44 cents each. USD. The good ones are $2 or $3 each as I recall. They are low ESR and I probably have the part number somewhere. Either way, glue them down somehow.

Re. AC vs DC: If I was to measure the voltage with a scope, would each of the 3 motor phases be alternating the current flow between positive and negative? (Yes right?) It may not be a pretty text book sine wave but doesn't it alternate on each phase? This sounds kinda like the debates...

That looked like a pro mount. I wonder how big the servos were and where he was getting the 5V from. Incidentally, when I was testing my head tracker camera the other day a servo accidentally hit it's limit. That was enough current to trip my power supply and reboot the receiver several times...

I'm guessing that they are an Asian company. They are the ones who sell clone MK boards so I'm leery.

I've been using an old Aiptec camera to record video, now I want something easier and smaller. Has anyone tried one of these: http://www.foxtechfpv.com/mini-d1-quality-sd-card-video-recorder-onboard-or-for-ground-s-p-221.html I like the instant on feature. Are there any others?

Yep Buzzed. That box is worth more than my car. ;) I decided to fit everything into an old welding mask. I'll put a port on the side for a pair of modded goggles. Any ideas before I butcher a perfectly good mask? EDIT: Yes, I'm aware that all-in-one goggles exist.

I don't have the nerdy tools to measure this stuff. ;) The 900mhz I did months ago seemed to work. But yes, I just assumed it will work. The before and after tests may be after I make decent antennas.

900Mhz and 1.3Ghz TX/RX tuneup - SAW filter Time to replace the saw filter and void the RX warranty. Changing this $4 part will hopefully allow for longer video range without as much video breakup. This only helps on 900 and 1.3Ghz receivers. The others already have a narrow filter...

Thanks Gary. I'm not a coder so I think it's best to leave the development boards to the people who have the ability to make the code better. I'll wait for the final boards. These are going to be a game changer!

Hey Gary, Yea, that thing needs some serious tuning. It appears to want to fly all 'willy nilly' and do flips. It can't even maintain a steady hover. ;) I WANT! Will there be a bare board and parts option? (Yes I know...SMDs) Kirk

I have heard that the nanotech batteries have a rather sudden voltage drop off. Maybe someone else can confirm or deny that. Your cells appear to be discharging abnormally. C is highest, C4 is lowest. Any idea why? How many Mah did you put back into the battery

One motor where the windings were never connected. There's no excuse for that. It's just shoddy work. Another motor in the same set had some mysterious problem that fried a phase and took a BL-Ctrl with it. (I wasn't there when that happened so I can't say with 100% certainty what the cause...

I wonder if he would sell these unwound. After the recent problems I have seen with MK motors, I will NOT be buying any more. I think I'd rather spend the time and wire them myself so I know they are done right. (That's not to say that Dan can't wind motors. I just prefer to use my time rather...

Additionally, A 5ah battery rated at 20C can pull 5*20=100Amps.

Nice. :)

This should be a new thread. If this bug exists, it has been around since the .80 version at least.

I'd say it's hit or miss buzzed. Put it on the front of the van and try a quick FPV around the block. ;)

Headtracker wireless receiver It looks like sparkfun is no longer selling the receiver units. A search for 315 mhz on google should find alternatives/duplicates or maybe the guys in the thread at RCG can help. When I ordered the parts months ago I didn't check the data sheet and I ordered an...

Welcome. Sorry I took your name. It seems you earned it well before I. ;) I saw your tri-copter build videos. Good stuff. Kirk
