So we do know who they are? I think it's punishment enough for them to read this forum thread. I agree on one level that we are eager to point fingers but we are all at the mercy of other people's mistakes. What about that idiot who flew his parrot drone over the beef eaters at Buckingham...

I've wondered about putting liquid electrical tape on my HF boards. It shouldn't really do anything but void your warranty and maybe run a little hotter. I think the heat shrink is the best idea as all you are trying to do is keep dirt and potential loose rocks/dirt from hitting a critical...

It's simple, the Chinese have a secret plan to overthrow our government by selling us crap mass produced drones. And we will go broke buying them and eventually kill ourselves flying them. DJI will be solely responsible for WW3! Kidding :)

Didnt the spinning while taking off already look weird? Oh boy. Well at least no one was hurt.

I have only bought the .825" OD/.75" ID fabric ones. They are very good quality. Not sure you can get any better. they come in 60" lengths and i cut them to 15" arms. But you can do whatever you want. <tbody> .825" .750" .037" 60" .062 ME8260F \ Roll Wrapped Fabric $77.25 </tbody>

yes, thats exactly what I have on mine. it keeps the majority of light out and dampens the wind hitting it directly. I would go find some tupperware to make a dome with though. If its clear you can still see the light through it. Having a stray rock hit the board is not good.

The foam is good to have. Just put a drop of ca on it around the sensor making sure to obviously not cover the hole. The power connector may fit a servo connector to it but I decided to solder the leads directly to the pins. The center is positive and both outsides are negative, at least on...

Better have a Y6 or XY8 for portrait! :)

I have been using these guys for all my builds. http://www.carbonfibertubeshop.com/small%20tubing.html

how about heat shrink? I think thats what Bart uses on his. They do come in colors. http://www.mpja.com/1in-Dia-X-4ft-Heat-Shrink-Tubing-Yellow/productinfo/16629+HS/

Yeah, the guy knows his stuff. And Denny, that is kinda what I was thinking as well. Only if you are charging someone thousands a day for video, you cant exactly pull out a beach kite with a gopro on it and have anyone take you seriously. But it definitely has its time and place. I drove all...

No doubt for the mac this is the best out there for the money.

I know everyone is running these APC 14's on their 2814 motors but when I tried it I was starting to smell oil from the motor burning off. They have never been that hot before. Now I am running an X8 configuration so maybe whats going on is that the heli is really running on 4 motors worth of...

waterproof disco, thats the future. Gopro 3, 1 small case with all the toys in it, No setup. Wanna buy a glider? hahaha :)

In my search for answers this video came up. I thought it was inspiring to see what one can do with just a kite. We have no excuses! Of course the wind is their friend and our enemy.

Well, I am in Hawaii and I have taken a crap load of underwater pics only to wonder why the hell they are ALL blurry! Apparently this is just how it is and the Gopro3's flat case lens fixes this. I'm kinda bummed though as I had some really cool turtle shots and spent some time in the waves...

Lovegroove, imagine your blog takes off and you put massive amounts of efforts into running and maintaining it for years. Then someone posts on your blog that they want to start a forum elsewhere that they are advertising on your site for free. Would seem kinda weird don't you think? I know...

Interesting looking motors. :)

I love the idea of the wires coming out the same end. Drives me nuts having to deal with that very issue on all my heli builds. But why do you need extra silicone wire? cant you unsolder the power wires and turn the around?

I have my GPS board installed and I dont have ANY erratic behavior flying my heli in AL or manual mode. But the GPS is still not locking onto a position good enough to be used on a set. I only keep the GPS attached because it will give me the RTH feature if I really needed it. It's close...
