    my latest fun maker

    Funny. I am just about to hook a friends car up with fpv today. I bet this would be great way to get used to fpv as well.

    New to Quads. Build list so far.. Thoughts?

    An 8 channel radio should be minimum as you will carry it over to others. it is a waste getting a 6 channel radio unless you think you will not get into the hobby. but most who start cant get rid of the addiction. FYI, I sell legs and a gopro camera mount (batwing) specifically for the...

    TBS core?

    It just makes things clean. Not only visually but interference wise.

    Is size so important?

    Have you considered the Bart O' Copter XY8? It pretty much solves all these issues you are listing and more. I got one and it is the Bee's knees.

    Anyone ever used these motors before?

    Interesting point, I didnt think of that! :) I guess since they are always running off one signal that would be the case. Hmm..

    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS

    Does anyone have feedback with the external mag? I'm gonna wait until this is resolved before sticking either 4.6 or the GPS board on my baby. I am just fine with the previous firmware and the HFP alone. Let's not mess with perfection please. :)

    http://www.hobbypartz.com/88e-mc351-cr23m-counter-blade3-1550kv.html Look kinda cool. Wonder what the performance would be like on a quad compared to the conventional setup.

    Wow, what a machine!

    Thats what happens if you forget to put foam on your altitude sensor. I could have designed something a lot better than that in my sleep.

    How to train your camera operator

    I am working with a new cam op and he has been a producer, camera operator, post guy for many many years. He tried his hands at controlling the heli and did fine as expected. But when an actually shoot came up he had a panic moment and the shot came out 100x worse than if I just left the...

    Airport X rays and the trouble they cause ....

    If you had a lead shield they could turn it up all they want. But then they might ask you to take it out be investigated which would take longer. but at least you would avoid the damage.

    JR9503 slider assigning.

    I removed mine and i regret it. As long as you have control over damping the reaction time to the tilt of the gimbal it is really not necessary to rid of the ratchet. It is way too loose without it now but it does hold position.

    Rigid frame for y6 or big X8?

    Give Dr. Bartman a PM, he makes an XY8 that will address all of these issues.

    Just tried a collective pitch heli...

    The answer to all our problems. Sorry I know I posted this before but it gives me a woody every time. All this tech talk aside, when the Gh3 comes out, I will be happy. I plan on making my helis smaller, not larger. As cameras get better in smaller/lighter packages we will have the benefit...

    Happy Thanksgiving!

    Lets show our thanks for this wonderful country by NOT buying anything from china today. Just one day. No Dji no hobby kong. Just appreciate what built this country and think about what it means when you buy something made thousands of miles away that was probably invented in another country.

    New Lens For a New NEX

    Image and clarity aside, one of the big factors with focal length is how good your gimbal is. Wide angle will always hide more jiggle than a longer lens. The other factor is the illusion of speed. wide does not show speed unless you are scraping the ground. A 30mm lens would probably give...

    Hoverfly ESC decisions

    I am HIGHLY opposed to using/trusting/buying anything from China but I have to say the Turnigy Plush ESC's have been great. I guess my motors are from there too and they seem to be ok as well-tiger 2814. Just buy 10 at a time so you dont have to deal with the shipping. There is also...
