    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS

    Well, I dont have torrids but I do have a lot of wires dangling around the heli. Hoverfly mentioned an optional external magnetometer coming out soon. I'm thinking this may solve my problems.

    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS

    yes, orientation is the same. everything about it is smooth. I didnt have any weird yaw issues. The only thing keeping this from being perfect is the PH radius. I'll try raising up the gps rx and see what that does first. I doubt that's it though. Probably more to do with motor/battery...

    Hoverfly Fast Descent - Wobbles?

    Jeff your reel is badass! And what you say is very true about short flights. thats why I never get all worked up about flight time. But some people want to do FPV or arent doing cinematic shoots. But yes, get up and come back is how I do my work 99% of the time.

    Zephyr 2, EZUHF, OSD, 2.4 Ghz vtx. best antennas, never flown.

    I built this wing for doing golf courses and wineries but i realize it's the wrong tool for what I am trying to do. I really need to stay with a heli and go fpv. I have about $1500 in parts on here, minus the camera and radio. Ideally I would love to do a trade for a Sony CX760 :) as that...

    Smooth pan tx settings

    Sweet! thanks. I think this would be an invaluable tool to have. It's pretty tricky to manually do a steady pan that is a consistent speed. I try to count to 5 for every 90 deg i turn as that is a decent speed to prevent jitter.

    Smooth pan tx settings

    Doing a perfect 360 pan is not easy. Even with a dual operator heli it takes calm nerves and calm wind. I've tried clicking the trim tabs over 5-10 clicks and I get a really nice pan but it feels dangerous having it locked where I left it if anything were to need immediate attention. Is there...

    Don't go flying your MR in Israel .....

    So much for my idea of dropping drugs into prison yards.

    Wookong M Fly Off

    they need to make a box you put on the heli that makes a cat meowing sound. That way you can call the fire department and tell them there is a cat stuck in the trees. "Oh whoa, my heli was up there too!?" Sorry you had this happen, I see a fair amount of DJI units just taking off. Not...

    6 Maytech 30 amp Esc V1

    Sorry, I was too lazy to take another picture of just the esc's. This is for 6 esc only. Although the Y6 and motors are for sale as well. I have another post for this.

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Convert AD4 to Y6

    A quad or X is going to be 90 deg. A hex or Y6 will be 120 deg. You will probably end up with some ugly overlap on your holes. Maybe better to make a whole new center frame set. I have my Y6 for sale if you are interested in that...

    Hoverfly Video thread

    thanks. It is not raw video though. I put it through warp. Otherwise it was pure garbage but only because of a that bad motor. You can see the jumpiness in the video which the stabilizer trying to fight the vibrations.

    GH3 announced .... at a price ????

    Also noteworthy the camera can simultaneously hdmi out while it records to its internal SD card. Nice! Anyone know if the analog out is still there? I would love to ditch the hdmi converter if possible. Certainly worth waiting a few months for.

    Wookong M Fly Off

    Exactly why I switched to Hoverfly! This kind of story scared the hell out of me every time I would go fly. Do you have any idea why it flew off? Did you flip a switch?

    6 Maytech 30 amp Esc V1

    $120/6 Have been used on my hex for about 30-40 flights. Used with wookong which I dont have anymore. Y6 and avrotos are for sale as well.

    Hoverfly Fast Descent - Wobbles?

    slow fly 12" They work great even on my XY8. I have Xoars but havent put them on yet. These are my test props but they work so well I never change them.

    Hoverfly Video thread

    This was taken with a bad motor. Hoverfly everything being used. Sony nex5n XY8 av200/360.

    CS8 for cinema

    Fair enough. I dont have an issue with you I just wanted to make sure Str8 Up knows you are biased toward your own product. He may have not known you're affiliated with Quadrocopter and own Freefly. I'm not picking on you, sorry if it came across that way.

    Hoverfly Fast Descent - Wobbles?

    Stiffer props would help a little but i think most multis do this. Although my XY8 hoverfly pro doesnt do it that much and I am using 12" APC's top and bottom. Hmm.. What caught my attention was the fact you have a Y6 and HFP as I am considering adding 2 more motors to make another octo.

    Boca bearings upgrades for Tiger(Avroto) motors.

    I'd agree with almost everything you just said except for the every 10 flights. You mentioned lubing the front and backs of both bearings every 10 flights? that would involve taking the motor apart which would potentially be more harmful to the motor than just leaving it alone. My motors are...

    CS8 for cinema

    If you talk to Tabb you will be told to buy a cinestar8 and a freefly of course. Thats like going to a car dealer and asking what car to buy. Not that its a bad recommendation but it is biased. I'm curious, what are the limitations with your SRH? I kinda know the answers to this but would...
