    Dewster, I am curious what size props are you using on your hexa build. I am thinking of purchasing a DJI 550 and try it our with my AVROTO motors but I am not sure where to start with the props. Thanks for your input about your build. Jack

    US FAA - general Idea

    I am always keep an eye on this. In the next year or so the FAA is required to make guidelines so that we flyers can use our craft (to say) to earn money. Looking around, and talking to some I am starting to get a general idea where FAA may be heading in the regulations for commercial use of...

    XAircraft Xaircraft, AVRoto motors, Vibration - (Spit, Grit, and a whole lot of duck tape)

    Before I start I can say this may not be the best combination but for those of you that go this root its doable - but not strongly suggested - there are other ways to do this, probably - Will leave it at that. It taken me forever but between the beefy motors I put on (avroto) WK-M, frame...

    XAircraft Avrotos too powerful for x650 frame? - you decide....

    I can understand that, Rusty I have the same set up but looking at what you did with the motor mounts I believe you may have torqued the plastic on the mount to much causing it to buckle. It has taken a lot of work on my end. When it came to my motors the screws end up hitting the motor so I...

    Working Progress - keeping the video true

    Kilby I am using a sony cyber shot hx9v. It works pretty good and I also am using it on the aerial side. I produces a 16mb file, however I find it runs hot in the aperture range so I need to bring it down a .7 on the exposure. The other thing I find the higher the ISO setting the more it drowns...

    gain question, figured I would ask here, may save time.

    So I have taken my quad and moved all the weight of the camera and battery below the center of the craft. It now is flying better especially with stability in flight. The one difference I am seeing is that if I am in a windy condition moving forward when I go from forward flight to either slow...

    the white lights won't go away

    Working Progress - keeping the video true

If you look at the beginning that vid has some vibration, middle of the clip with the suspension bridge the video very little vibration so I threw it thew a video stabilizer, however when you...

    the one that nearly got away !

    Hey Dazza22: not sure what you were doing or how long you had the unit on before you took to the skies, my first guess is that you had it in fail safe mode, somehow and once you got off the ground and it took in a GPS signal, it went into Fail/Safe mode, climbed to the fail safe height and took...

    still gettin a lot of white lights - from time to time

    Shui I do not blame you I want to migrate to another frame and plan on doing so down the road, For not though I just find this a challenge and I am ok where it is. I am not sure of my next move. I can tell you that my vibration problem is coming from out where the motors are. I recently saw...

    still gettin a lot of white lights - from time to time

    shiu I think I got it, here is a sample of raw video I took from my set up, by the way I like your hexa set up. I ended up building a mount that fit in the landing gear, I then set it on some gel pad and the like is my result. I am pretty happy. Also moving the camera more to the CG has made...
