    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS, another approach

    Nice Razzil. too bad Hoverfly can't come up with something like that. One of the perks to being a Chinese manufacturer, you just go next door and ask for a plastic box. It'll be great to hear some success Bart. I am going to fly inside of the Oakland Coliseum in a week and would love it if...

    New Align 800 cameraship - Needs some work!

    Denny I had seen this before but never looked closely at the monitor. yes, this sucks! It seems the cam op is no better skilled at operating that gimbal than he probably can an automobile! But regardless, the wobbling and bouncing is unacceptable, especially for a promo video! Heli looks...

    Yes I bought 11's to try on my hex but the graupner 11x5's were better. I haven't had a bad experience with slow flys. I do wish they made the hub a hair bigger. Maybe since I'm in California where the weather is always nice they don't have issues. When I fly over the super cross track though I...

    Simple Brushless Gimbal Controller--FPV MODEL

    I wouldn't have thought this was possible with a standard brushless motor. How the heck do they get that kind of accuracy??

    How Do You Throttle Calibrate an ESC with Red Wire Cut?

    Yes, plug into the ar8000. Look for something else with 5-6 volts like a tx charger and wire it up. Do you have a CC bec laying around? or just power up your naza for the sake of bringing power to the rx, as long as the esc goes direct to the rx and not through the naza. I think on Hoverfly...

    Photohigher skyline rsgs

    I would highly recommend detaching your belts and roll gear when trying this for the first time. I too almost destroyed my av200 when first pluggin it in. Mine actually flipped out so much it was lifting the helicopter off its skids! Page 205? wow. I wonder what the ratio of success to...

    I guess I have never used anything smaller than the 11" SF. if you need 10's I would go with graupners anyways.

    How Do You Throttle Calibrate an ESC with Red Wire Cut?

    I've had this problem from a bad esc and a bad motor. It is exactly as you said, one phase is out of whack or shorted. You can't do anything about it but buy new replacements. Sorry.

    APC Thin experiences

    I've seen this 10 times. The problem with this video is that it is conceptual. You wouldn't balance your hub by sticking masking tape on it not would you leave a piece of masking tape dangling off the tip. It would have been a much better video if they showed him sanding away or adding glue to a...

    How Do You Throttle Calibrate an ESC with Red Wire Cut?

    It's really the receiver you need to power. You only need to power the esc for throttle calibration. Plug it in your throttle out, push throttle all the way up, turn radio on, power esc with main batt. Should get 2 quick beeps. Don't wait long, bring stick to bottom and you'll hear another...

    Another fail-safe query for the internet...

    Yes that's correct. If you take the naza fail safe out of the equation and set your bind fail safe to say 40% throttle, that's what it will do if you lose signal. In order to default to fail safe you need to bind your radio with the fail safe switch enabled. Now when you lose signal the radio...

    We put in an order many many months ago with a few people. It took a long time to arrive and came straight from the source.

    National Parks RC Aerial photography policies

    It's much less of a buzz kill then encountering a bear. I have been officially written up by the parks so I am aware of the rules now. There was no sign and I had been flying here for years. But one power hungry ****head cop had It in for me. I asked how was I supposed to know? He said NOW YOU...
