That looked really smooth in your video, even in the wind. Now you've made me want an X8 too :) Any onboard video from it yet?

[FONT=Verdana] Yeah, I think I need to spend less time on forums :) Agreed, DJI did hit a sweet spot with the NAZA although I've not yet tried one. Everything else of theirs is out of my price range :) The sport board is my board of choice for small FPV craft. It does need some of the latest...

AHHH ha! That's what I like to hear! Glad you guys are still alive and kickin and developing new stuff, that rocks!

I modded my first ever filter I received with my first HF Pro board. I've since purchased several others mostly so I can run video off of the flight battery and I have yet to toast one. This thread makes me a bit nervous, yikes!

I have to admit one of the reasons of trying the CC3D FC is that the Open Pilot forums are a very active place and it's fun getting a lot of feedback/help. It seems the Hoverfly feedback has slowed to a trickle which I can't decide if that's because everyone is having a wonderful time without...

So yours turns around to return to home? With 4.6r2? I thought it would turn around as well but it didn't. Interestingly my onboard compass seems to be working really well. But the twitches scared the heck out of me. I haven't submitted a ticket yet as I haven't really done much testing...

I love my Hoverfly gear, it flies so well. But when it comes to setting up a new quad I curse the size of the board and lack of a protective case, not to mention all the wires I have to hook up. But then all is well when it flies so smooth, with the occasional vibration problems of course but...

I've had a GPS unit since they first came out but until recently have only really used it for the OSD features it offered. On my last FPV flight I threw caution to the wind and decided to test Position Hold as well as Return to home. Here are the results: Notice the twitches while the GPS...

Bear with me on my FC rant :) When I first started out in multirotors I was flying a Gaui 330x like I suspect a lot of people did. I moved that FC to several different frames and it served me well but definitely had its quirks. I then thought I needed accelerometers for safety so I picked up...

WOW, that looks fantastic! Very impressive and cool looking to boot. Can't wait to see the finished product and some video! The plug in motor wires at the end of the booms is slick! Your improvements are great. I have to admit I was looking at CNC machines this weekend. But that looks like a...

I really like where you're going with this, looks cool and the results are great!

Isn't that beat frequency the FC controlling the motors? You would think after all these years I would have figured this out by now :D

I've had a problem with every multirotor I've built. Given that, it's probably my builds but here it goes... I like to fly FPV and I like to fly fast. Whenever I get going or really just the the motor RPMs up there the motors start to pulse causing micro-bounces in my video. I've been...

Hey Chuck, I could be wrong but i think the HFPro needs the GPS to do the carefree mode stuff as the compass is on the GPS board. With the firmware since version 4 i think, you set the type of model in the setup client now instead of the firmware client like it used to be. Just mentioning that...

Please forgive my ignorance as I didn't search this thread but it seems there is a new movement in gimbal design where brushless motors are used instead of servos. Will the HFG be able to support these types of gimbals either now or in the future? Seems like you would need some kind of motor...

Actually you can get a folding frame like the QAV, the iconic X: http://quadcopter.us/store/index.php?id_product=8&controller=product But I like where you took this, looks really good. I wonder if you could have a spacer next to each arm as a stopper so you know where to fold out the arms too...

I received my excellently designed and crafted gimbal, big thanks to Earl E Adotr for generously building one for me. I have some servos on order and can't wait to hook this up to something!

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it! No gimbal was used on this flight. I am using a combination of homegrown vibration dampening as well as Rusty's thick camera mount plate on a foldable x525 frame. To be honest though, when I got up really high and turned the quad to face the city I...

HOLY COW that is fantastic!!! Good job including the comparison keychain cam video, that really showed how well it was compensating. Well done! That looks to be the perfect setup, nice and compact, foldable plus a gimbal! Perfect for backpacking and camping. You've inspired me to build another :)

Yeah it would be nice to have a simple connection. Although I did buy some single wire connectors for all the receiver connections except the throttle. That helped cut down on the wire clutter/bulk. http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1719 I've connected my esc's with and without the power...
