    Mikrokopter Mosfet "POP"

    Another possible cause is from the use of an aerosol product called Contact which MK sell. Don't clean your boards with this stuff as is does what it says on the tin. It makes contact everywhere and can trigger your FET's at anytime. Hence the name. MK fireworks kit. Once it soaks in to...

    Alexmos 3rd axis sample

    I have to salute Alex for this fine feat. However with my SR's I have no need for it. The camera lens has a high sensitivity 5 axis stabilizer which smooths out the tiny movement left over from the powerful and very accurate tail rotor gyro. But importantly I have have gone back to my original...

    DSLR Aerial Video Tips

    Don't forget that Vimeo and Youtube will cut that back to 25 fps and some in compression, if that is your goal.

    Moved the Naza m's VU... Now its dead?

    Most likely the USB connector socket on the board. They are weak..... If you have had to stretch the usb cable to get it in, then that will be the likely cause. One of the few DJI spares that can be bought easily. It will fail completely soon enough so I would replace it now.

    DJI used to make the local news

    My take on this is simple I don't talk about it in the press, only with producers who want advice on how to get the shot. In Cyprus the last thing I want is dozens of numbty boys trying to get on the band wagon. Everyone who tries will damage the concept and the business. Already we have people...

    Alexmos issues

    Terry I must be one of these lucky guys, Mine worked right first time (CSG) and the second one also worked (JussilH) Only thing I found was that the 32 bit version GUI was the only one to work on my 64 bit laptop. The only problem with the CSG one was when the IMU croaked. Sent him money for a...

    S800, total weight 7kg, should I still use maxamps?

    I have been using the 1100 maxamps on my helis but I changed to the nano tech 6,000 mah and found that the endurance was only marginally longer due to the lighter weight of the batteries. But I'm using two of them to make 12s. They are a lot cheaper for a start. When I was running S800 I found...

    S800 alternative props

    In a rarified atmosphere the envelope for finding the best all round prop. will be smaller. It could be that your motors don't have enough KV to allow for the higher rpm that is needed. Adding pitch is not the answer as it will induce a blade stall, That sounds like what is happening now. you...

    S800 alternative props

    The most important factor to consider is that adapters raise the center of mass inside the motor so any imbalance is magnified. Imbalance does not just come from the props. It can be the result of differing resistance across each winding phase. The best use of these adapters is so that you can...

    More rubbish Japanese computer support

    I think what you need for your mac is a decent video card like the Black magic Decklink HD extreme. It comes with all the codecs you will ever need. Blistering speed. The one that I have is a bit out of date now so they are probably better and cheaper now. You simply cant work with a mac without...

    Nab 2013****

    The simple fact is that you cannot be totally certain that your equipment will NEVER fail. so the answer must be that your equipment should be such that it does not need to fly over a crowd in the first place. Legislation already exists to prevent that with full size aircraft so why should MR's...

    Another one bites the dust...

    Been getting it right here in Cyprus for more than ten years now with specific craft for specific jobs. however the problem now is that the big players who want CGI standards of work don't have any money. In a country where not paying bills is a National sport, things are going to get very tough...

    2013 Masters Shot

    There are very specific rules for flying over golf courses with FS helis. The CGI footage used on TV to show each hole in detail and where the balls land is always done beforehand when the course has to be empty of all people. I doubt that any low level shots came from that source. I cant...
