No you can't do anything like that with one Tx. Even though you can get multiple Rx's to respond to the same Tx, the second they lift off they will be going in different directions. They won't all lift off at the same throttle setting, they will all fly just differently enough to make this...

Do you guys know where to get either G10/11 or CF plate?

Cool, Thanks for joining. If you setup your PixHawk and its stable your already doing well. I have not use it yet but apparently it is a very good controller but a lot more challenging to setup. The best advice I can offer is to fly, a lot, as much as you can. There's a lot of people on RC...

I think its more likely that the damage to the balance lead was a result of the crash. The sound is too mechanical for a short, if the problem was a result of the lead being damaged in flight it would have been more likely that it would fail altogether. But no matter what the cause this is...

Welcome to the insanity. Where are you going to school? If you really want to help young people enter this emerging industry then go and join here: ACUAS.org. Getting people interested in this hobby is not that difficult, making sure there's an industry for them to work in is a whole other...

I kind of got the impression from Drew and my last SuperX purchase from them that they have moved on to selling other things. I could be wrong and they might still sell the SuperX if you asked for one but XAircraft seemed to disappear for a bit and have not made much progress with upgrades to...

That was great. Vimeo is really starting to suck.

They can't have it both ways [which doesn't mean they won't try], but the FAA say's categorically commercial UAV is against the law with the exception of ONE drone that they have certified for use in Alaska. So why specify airspace restrictions regarding drones [or any variation of the term] in...

Its difficult to diagnose problems like this online rather than in person. Usually if things have been going well and for some unexplained reason that changes there's a couple of things you can check, some are relevant to all controllers and others are more controller specific. But if things...

How many flights on that battery? When you charge the batter and then check it does it get to at least 95%? I'd start by either trying a different battery and testing your current batteries.

You said that it was flying fine when you started so although density altitude might have played a role in arresting the descent I doubt it was your problem. What makes you think the battery had 20%? And is it set to auto land when power goes below what percentage? I would suggest you never...

How are you supposed to know about a TFR flying in your back yard? Where do you receive the TFR? Its amazing to me that AOPA hasn't jumped all over this. We're going to have TFR's all over the place that all kinds of pilots will be violating because they didn't know they were in force.

Now for a slightly different take. I'm assuming this is supposed to be a recruitment or informational video for that school. If that's the case both video's suck. Its a pretty campus, great aerial photography but there's no information about the school. Why would I want to attend? Where...

What mode are you flying in? Try flying in manual to see what your throttle is on takeoff.

I'm not sure of Gary's influence or involvement with RCAPA but I think everyone needs to understand that if you want to fly sUAS commercially in the US then we're all in this together. There's plenty of debate to be had about which organization does what, but we're all better off if these...

I don't think the issues was whether people believed the RCAPA in 2007 it was more to do with what he was proposing to do about it at the time. I agree with the overwhelming amount of things Patric Egan writes, however I was very much against entering into a dialog with a government agency that...

I was not aware of the RCAPA, but after looking at their site a couple of things came to mind. First I don't think these sorts of organizations are mutually exclusive, it does not have to be one or the other, better to join both. Its focus seems to be professional aerial photography where as...

So far the four SX I've setup with Futaba have been really simple. I had one that wouldn't arm after it initially armed but then I just did the "Stick" setup routine again and it's worked right ever since. There's no setup or programing with the KDE ESC's.

Yes, that's what they should do, it means the ESC's have poser but no control signal from the FC. If there's a signal from the SX when powered up you should hear one tone for each of the number of cells in your battery, then a short "Tune or Ring Tone." Things you should check and sorry if...

Trouble is that HoverFly has all but disappeared from the forums and when they did that combination didn't work well, at least in comparison to what's available today. Not ot really sure what they're up to as a company but I would not recommend that as a good choice today. That's a real bummer...
