    Aeronavics / Droidworx Skyjib V2 Battery Options

    Ahh thats good! Since the Zippy 8000's I'm flying are like bricks pretty sure your mailbox is safe. ;) (Add Batts= Weight/Time/75-80%Margins = Diminished Returns) OK the gas tank part sounds good. Now my question is figuring out the mileage... Two batteries, in parallel. Fly 5 minutes...

    MRF No Clone Zone??

    Cloning will continue, China will continue, Hobbyking will continue. I'm not worried about the race to the bottom. What I AM worried about is when "Good" is no longer available as an option. Case in point, multis & photography, spent a bunch of money buying the best I couldn't afford. I knew...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Skyjib V2 Battery Options

    Hi Carapau, Still very new so just wanted to clarify something. We've always used the mah per minute method you described above. Here's my question. When using two batteries in parallel does this change the equation? In other words lets say I have a single 10,000mah battery. I fly for 1...

    DJI used to make the local news

    "Remote control helicopter" Nobody gets excited about parkflyers. I believe we need to associate ourselves with the same guys that have been flying RC PLANES in the park for the last twenty years. We're the ones calling them drones and multirotors and UAVs, etc. "Remote controlled heli", ergo...

    Changing props for high altitude flying

    Hey Pete, Where did you read this? Assuming its a custom configuration in WKM?? Modded the AD6 hexa in this exact same way - Coax mounts, 8 motors, lost the front and rear arms. Looks more like a sideways H. Haven't flown it yet. Love the footprint and hoping it becomes a "backseater" with the...

    ARF Multirotors Vendors

    One of the best bits of advice from the guys here at MRF was to start with the little Blade MQX. Being able to crash it into just about everything before moving onto the 550 helped a ton. As Bart mentioned it's like flying a DJI Naza in Manual, inside the living room. We've crashed it into...

    Call for beta test of DJI Zenmuse H3-2D Gimbal

    Modles... let me offer you an edit. "Chris, I respectfully disagree". Hell, add in a "Chris, I disagree in the strongest of terms" etc etc. Not that Chris needs a fan boy but to suggest a dis-service?? No mate, the guys helped a half billion of us ;) And now back to our regular program...
