    Fold-N-Fly test models on sale.

    Yes, I'll PM you. You are pretty local too. You could just come up and grab it if you are up in the bay area.

    Theory behind upward angled arms / Booms and inclined motors

    from watching a few s800 videos, I would say it doesnt help. :)

    My first FPV flight

    Does that HK osd have anything else on it? I could do without a second gps but would be nice to have voltage and art. horizon, maybe altitude. Kloner, you learning anything here? :) I will have my fold-n-fly's available with case on the site very soon. Technically they are available now...

    My first FPV flight

    It was my gopro 2. I didnt want to risk my gp3 on my maiden voyage. I realized how much slop there is in the gopro case. Needs some ear plugs! Maybe smaller props as well. Seemed a little jerky.

    Theory behind upward angled arms / Booms and inclined motors

    On my fold-n-fly the arms are semi flexible. They dont flex enough to vibrate but they do seem to stabilize the heli a bit since they angle inward just a a hair. Since I am using the Hoversport, which has no autolevel, any stability seems to be based a lot on balance and inherent mechanical...

    I cant answer about the AH/GPS as I dont use them at all.

    GoPro Hero 3 black - additional FPV camera still needed ?

    I think you addressed all the issues. the 3 main issues you use a separate fpv cam are power, light change/low light, and it is fixed to the heli as to using a gimbaled camera. I havent tried the live out on my gp3. I bought the rc shutter cord but it is just sitting here since I jhave a...

    Hoverfly HFPro, Failsafe?

    Has anyone heard anything from Hoverfly recently? They seem to have disappeared lately. At least set your fail safe to throttle down for a slow decent.

    My first FPV flight

    Thanks. Those guys are friends I was riding with. The park is empty during the week so plenty of room. I'll give it another go with the naza and GPS. I just wish they sound integrate a simple OSD. I'm sure we all do. stacky the OSD seems very slow and off. That would probably be a distraction...

    Own a "drone" in Oregon? - Go to jail - Senate bill 71

    If Oregon has this problem already the rest of us are screwed. There is nothing but open land up there compared to California. Ugg, I'm not planning on making this a career anytime soon.

    My first FPV flight

    I was all over the place, trying to "feel" for level. Good god I am lucky to have my quad back safely. I would otherwise be embarrassed to show this but it was a first. Ive actually bought fpv gear 3 times and spooked myself from using it. I might have freaked out and not gone through with a...

    My first FPV flight

    I decided to take my fold-n-fly up with us where we ride dirt bikes today. Using a hoverfly sport and no OSD. The Hoversport is pretty smooth but just not the right tool for a beginner fpv'er especially with no other flight tools such as artificial horizon. Holy crap that was one exhilarating...

    anyone have a brushless motor .obj, .dxf, or other 3d format?

    I'm trying to make an animation of a heli and dont feel up to modeling the motor. Ideally a typical 2814 type, not the cheapo chinese small ones I see on turbosquid. thanks Yuri

    thats the sound of gains, not vibrations from props.

    New Align 800 cameraship - Needs some work!

    They probably spent most of their efforts making the sky look blue. With all that smog I doubt the camera operator could even see the screen.
