    Damn....I missed the Maya Doomsday

    WOAH!! You better spark up a lipo and get some heat! Low tonights gonna be 15 then it warms up to 35 tomorrow, my shop heater broke and trying to heat the place up with a 1500 watt desk heater sucks.

    Want to make sure I don't ruin my batteries...

    You mean the batts just have bare wires? You'll have to get the naza assistant working eventually though. You have to turn on your transmitter, plug the usb between the naza and your computer, then plug a battery into your 450. The usb won't power your naza. Oh and take the props off before...

    Damn....I missed the Maya Doomsday

    I wouldn't beat yourself up over it, the Mayan's couldn't foresee the Spanish showing up with their boomsticks either. Maybe next year...

    tstrike's karmic Christmas give away...

    A few months ago I gave a bricked gopro to a member of this forum to help replace a broken lens he had. After that I had one of the best runs of film work all year. Well, the works slowed to non-existant now and I'm thinking it's time to build some more karma. Especially considering how grey...

    f450 battery mount - bottom plate

    Have you considered just moving your naza up and using the middle for your batt? There was a guy on here a while back who did some custom plates for his 450. I think he was using some of the top plate screw holes to run standoffs in and covered his naza, with all his vtx stuff on top, looked...

    Did I just kill one of my F450's motors?

    I think Kloner's got it right. Take all the props off, fire it up to mid throttle and jiggle around the bullet connectors to see if it gets the bad motor running. If it does and you're halfway decent with a solder gun, cut off the heatshrink on the bullet and check for a loose wire, they get...

    Did I just kill one of my F450's motors?

    You could try plugging the suspect motor into another esc, if it runs correct then check the suspect esc's connections to make sure they're all tight and don't wiggle. If those are good chances are you either lost a magnet or messed up the bearings which then involves taking the motor apart...

    Raw aerial at an event rehearsal

    Sean, I didn't say I make a living with these things and have I have no intentions of, but there are some guys here who do. I've been learning to fly these things for a year now and I still wouldn't think about flying around a crowd, maybe that's just me. You did all that testing with your...

    Raw aerial at an event rehearsal

    Considering the dude didn't know which way a prop washer went on just last week, what could go wrong?

    Howdy all from NEW MEXICO

    Holy Kanoli! My dad was the resident engineer for the Angel Fire corp back in the late 70's early 80's. My mom sold condo's for the company too. They built a house just off the highway about 300 yards from the lake. They've long since moved but we loved going there for summers and quick ski...

    What arm size should I choose? Dialfonzo Hex

    That's the size of my cheap rank azz poor mans eco hex (the CRAPMEH-1). It allowed me to get 2 booms out of one large heli (700?) tail boom. I'm running the same motors too, but I haven't had the time to really play with it much lately. What size is that landing gear?

    Dead Cat Conversion Kit for SK450 Overview

    I read on some forum these things were having problems on takeoff. Seems they would flip over and start licking their b#ll's.

    Does any one know if this kit comes with a dead cat or do I have to supply my own? What works better with naza, calico or persian?

    suppo motors and graupner prop adapters

    Not slamming the motors, just the prop collets. Are the hk's quality any good? I prefer the ipower type prop adapters just because it's one less thing for me to worry about (and if you see my builds and my flyin skills, I worry a lot) .

    suppo motors and graupner prop adapters

    The collets that come with the suppos are cheap aluminum and 2 out of the 4 I got were out of round, in fact one broke at the stud trying to clamp it down. The airscrews are a direct fit for the graupner props but they cost a bit to get them shipped. Personally, I won't do suppos anymore and...
