pretty sure this was it. http://www.fastcodesign.com/1671917/watch-2-scientists-accidentally-discover-a-world-changing-super-material

Do any of you remember the story about the guys who accidentally made a battery from that carbon mono-tube liquid they cured using a DVD player? I was trying to find that article. was pretty recent. Interesting things coming in battery tech. They said it holds 2x as much ad charges 1000x...

Seacrh for Bart's Xy8. he is the inventor of this configuration. It works so well I am surprised others havent stole it yet. basically the "y" is the 120 deg spacing as a Y6 would have but 8 motors on 4 arms. If you took 2 arms off the front and back of a hex you would have an XY8. You will...

Go XY8! cant beat it. Solves many issues you speak of.

whats the link? is it a brushless controller? My hovergimbal works pretty well. Trust me I would complain if it didnt. RancherPete, if you want more oomph get an octo, dont build another hex. You should move back to LA where it is sea level :)

I am really curious to see how the freefly FC works out. I'm betting they nail all these factors but charge a little more for it, but who knows. I still haven't seen a pic of their gps but I bet it comes in a nice shiny enclosure with an external led.

Ben, if your making a shield, make it out of carbon. G10 is transparent to rfi from what I understand. Bart would know best though since he tried this. It shouldn't be this complicated.

It does get hyped as being more than it really is. But when I really appreciate the mac is when I go back to a pc. THEN I realize why the mac is so nice and clean. I bought my mom a macbook pro and she is having a hard time adapting. I told her you dont have to learn the mac, you have to...

I dont know what it is that they cant figure out. It's embarrassing the Chinese can do it and we cant. I recently took my GPS off as 30-40' was just too much to use it. Also by the time it established sats, I would normally be done flying. However, when using it as RTH, it did work very...

Haha! Moovmi blades huh? Reminds me of Coming to America. "they got the golden arcs, we got the golden arches. They got the big mac, we got the big mic."

Dont quit your day job. It is possible. but I think more than flying skill you need to be good with marketing yourself, love to travel, constantly market yourself, be creative, and have a good eye for composition. It is totally realistic to make a good living doing this and to say otherwise...

Bart, you are joking right? I have to say, turning into a huge mac addict and owning every single device they make less the mini and air, I might start taking interest in a hackintosh. The mac pro better have a new release that is competitive with the precision or I'm building my own. No...

Sorry I cant help more. I dont really remember what the answer was. But I do know I had 2 bad usb/PMU units. It was either that or the actual cable if I recall. I have the solution! DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM CHINA!!!

Yes. Still going strong. You can order from the link at the bottom of my post thanks yuri

not a concern either way as long as it is rigid. Some may claim the square arm influences the airflow. I say hogwash! Droidworx has some nice airflow caps that go on top of round arms to smooth the airflow. I suppose, theoretically, the airflow could cause vibrations since the restriction of...

Would it really make that big of a difference? Seems the whole sky is littered with interference. Like Ken said, just choose a better frequency.

Maybe you can sell them Freefly's MOVI for $30k. :) It includes a free bike lock!

In all fairness thats 1 camera that is a PAS. This would let you put just a bout any camera on it. Right? Start buying all the v1 zenmuse out there Denny. Grab some bicycle handles. You can beat the chinese and the americans. :)

It's all about what the market will bear. It's probably not more than $1000 in parts your looking at there but they account for the cost of marketing, including the crazy price of floor space at NAB, the cost of R&D to get the product where it is, cost of customer service, general overhead...
