Jeff, This is a fantastic clip......What were you filming it for?? Cripes you get around......and there I was thinking you were Snow Locked!!

That is only 31.2 amps per motor. It seems like a very low amp draw for such a big machine and load. My airframe with 4 batteries and gimbal already weighs 8.0kgs so if I were to carry a 10kg payload that's put it at over 18kgs. What is your all up weight with the 10kg payload??

I was always taught to multiply the diameter by the pitch to give you a PF or Power Factor. The higher the PH the more load will be exerted on the motor and hence the current draw will increase and the battery will not last as long. Bigger diameter props like to rev slower where the smaller...

That's pushing the Aero Board beyond the limit but it didn't burn up....Not on that flight but the air temp seemed quite cold too!!! I noticed they have an all up weight of 10.5kgs not payload

Hey Dave....Great video keep up the good work!! Regards, Lance

Thanks Ross, It seems to fly very nicely.......What ESCs are you running?? It looks like I would have to go to 100A with the motors on mine going by the peak spikes..... Regards, Lance

I've been researching the I2C-PWM converters and from what I have been able to find out they are only capable of driving slower ESCs (400kz) and will not drive the faster ESCs where the 12C boards are capable of running much higher speeds and much better motor control. The issue here is that...

Righto......This has got my attention now you've explained what it is and it looks like just what I am looking for!!! What else can you tell me about it.........How does it perform compared to the BL boards etc....Have you tried them?? and can you connect any ESC or do you need to use a...

Hey Ross, Yeah the more simple approach the better but where that will work fine for those running DJI electronics it won't work for MK based systems. How do you think it'd go pulling 420 Amps through it?? Regards, Lance

Hey Daniel, Yes I agree it's an exciting time with so many amazing new goodies out there!! Point taken regarding the BLs but unfortunately they can't cope with the big current draw from large motors like the 4120/20 so that's when we need to start looking elsewhere and that's why there are...

I keep seeing it mentioned that the guys who have the big heavy lift Octos and Hexas are keeping their configurations close to their chests and not sharing and I have to agree. I suppose those who have got them up and running are worried if they help out someone else they are ultimately adding...

Yep can't agree more......The Dubro Tru-Spin balancer is very very good and at a great price!!! Regards, Lance

I received a nice box of LED lights for my booms and wanted to ask what is the generally accepted colour placement. From what I have seen most have Red to the front and Blue around the remainder of the arms. Thanks, Lance

I'm with you guys on this......I just sent the 2 new HercII boards/heatsink back for a refund and will wait and see what happens with the new High Power board after I was assured they were capable of driving my 4120/20 motors. After a number of boards burnt up it was decided they weren't capable...

Thanks Ian......I appreciate your assistance. Regards, Lance

I'm looking at IBCrazy 5.8G antennas and see there are a few different types and it has me a bit stumped..... Skew Planar Wheel Whip Cloverleaf Whip Bluebeam Whip Can someone please let me know what the differences are?? Thanks, Lance

Hi Ray, I have been told Andreas is working on a high output power board which will run my AXI4120/20 motors. The Aero board was supposed to run them but is only rated to 35 amps/motor and they draw 37 amps loaded hovering so it's just waiting to go up in smoke also. So I'm hoping Andreas new...

The trouble is that once you let the smoke out you can't put it back inside.......

Thanks Ross.....I thought it probably was fairly ordinary......Now I know!! New antennas coming :)

Hi Lanzar, Thanks for the post. I agree with the cooling plate only cooling the MOSFETS on one side of the board......If you were to do it properly you'd need 3 plates but the problem is you can't fit a plate to the other side the of the board because the motor wires are fitted to it and would...
