I should add that with this PDB and the new EKF interference monitor in the Arducopter 3.3 beta I see no influence on my big hexa. I did see a slight impact on the compass in the EKF monitor with the quad and Vulcan board.

It was DYS but now most of them that I find say J&K. http://www.arrishobby.com/jk-high-power-distribution-board-comes-with-bec-vrm-5v12v-output-p-1177

With the first set of ESC's (ZTW spider 30A) I did have them straight soldered. I added bullets to the PDB wires when I switched to the next set of ESC's because I didn't want to remove bullets from ESC's. This is how I typically setup my PDB's, short wire from pad with bullet. Never caused a...

Used what I had in my stock. Really didn't have to use much wire since both motors came with bullets which plug right into the ESC's, added about 8-10 cm of wire from stock between ESC's and PDB, no wire added between PDB and power module. All the motors and ESC's are evenly hot.

I soldered the Pixhawk power module directly to the pdb and it has 14g wire and then the wires to the ESC's are 16g as are the stock wires from motor's to ESC's. The motor wires are about 10 cm longer than they need to be so will get those cut down too.

Take a look at Ecosyth Aerial Tools @ ecosynth.org. I've been using mapsmadeeasy.com for quick stuff and it works pretty well. Not too expensive either.

Yep, I've run these same motors in the past with similar configurations on probably 4-5 rigs with 11-13" props no problem. I've used 30A esc's in the past with them so I know they should work but I decided to try the HW XRotors 40A to see if that was somehow it. I am only pulling like 25 amps in...

I have a quad that I built with spare parts for fpv and gopro gimbal. It seems like a proper build and ecalc seems to confirm that but the ESC's and motors are hot after 5 minutes of flight and very hot after 14 minutes. I have tried 3 different ESC's, two different motors, two different props...

Will the InfinityMR-S have the orbit dampening system? It looks like the standard system in the pic. Looks great and I like the weight!

Good to hear! Be sure to try the new ArduCopter 3.3 when its released stable. I have been testing rc9 and rc10 with a beater quad and the autotune is way better than 3.2 plus many other great features. I haven't had any issues with these beta builds but a few have. Seems mostly related to those...

Been waiting to hear more about this gimbal too. I read a post somewhere that seemed to be from someone at Gremsy saying we would see plenty evidence from the H3 soon. Edit: found the post link -...

Looks very nice! Patiently waiting for any update on the Infinity MR-S...:)

Should be fairly easy to incorporate something like this: https://www.servocity.com/html/parallel_gripper_kit_a__637092.html#.VdptrdNVhBc or one of the others they have.

Looks like it will be a nice copter! Looking forward to seeing it.

I think the Electrohub is actually pretty cool! Can't beat it for the price and like you said a quick trip to hardware store and your mostly likely back in the air very soon. Heck, it might be work buying two just to have the spare parts. Nice find.

I don't think they are US made. They have a website - http://www.carboncore.com/. You should check out the Phoenix flight gear Y6's at RC-Drones too - http://www.rc-drones.com/Phoenix-Flight-Gear-Transporter-700mm-Y6-Multicopter-Frame_p_423.html. Wasn't sure you wanted to go up to that much...

Do a search on goodluckbuy.com for y6 frame. A lot come up. I have purchased some things from them recently with no problem.

Glad you got it out of the tree with that hat trick!

Could you post the citation for that study? ;)

I didn't take offense to anyones comments. Just wanted it to be clear that these researchers aren't out to get them banned. However, I think we do need studies like this. Obviously the authors had an idea to use multirotors as an observation tool for bears and saw that they didn't appear to...
