    Boca bearings upgrades for Tiger(Avroto) motors.

    Ill post it tomorrow. yes, there is a laser print of something on the side. I could hear a mechanical slapping when the heli was taking off. I'd post the video but i dont want to give you guys a headache. from now on I'm just buying 2 extra motors and not messing with this crap.

    Boca bearings upgrades for Tiger(Avroto) motors.

    I had my first run with Bocas and I have to say I am not pleased. I spun the bell/shaft assembly in each bearing and they feel like they have slightly more play than the EZO. once assembled, they are VERY fragile. My bearings had so much slop and click that the video was barely salvageable...

    Gens Ace 60C

    I have always had gens ace 25c lipos and never had a problem but I always use 2 of them. I specifically bought these to use in my Zephyr2 as solo batteries and that pulls a lot more amps than the heli does.

    Balancing Xoar props

    that brings up a good point that maybe if our motors arent perfectly balanced then not having a perfectly balanced prop could add to the total amount off balance. I guess you would have to balance your motors. Personally I havent done that yet and I dont have video that comes close to being...

    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS

    Kari, the PH is dynamic. It says it takes 1.5 seconds for it to kick in which is kinda weird. but yes, if you move the sticks it slews about and locks to the new position as it should. Yeehaw, on the RTH, I actually didnt think to let it stop completely. I was thrilled to see her come...

    Sony CX730/740/760 info centre

    Having played with the xm700 I think it wouldnt work well on a heli. I think they use digital stabilization which means it tracks points. This works amazingly well for a handheld shot. I zoomed that thing fully in to some windmills a mile out and handheld it, it looked like it was on a tripod...

    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS

    6 motor wires? You mean 24 motor wires. The RTH is absolutely a dream. After being scared to even try it out on the DJI I was thrilled to see how well this works. Once my radius gets tightened up a bit it will be even better. Really impressed at how smooth the Hoverfly is all around. Never...

    Gens Ace 60C

    Yeah, basically. I'm not as bad as you may think but I am close. If 60c is the troubled abused kid, I am probably a 25c.

    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS

    The gps sensor is not on the board, the magnetometer is on the board. And yes, there are 2 stainless bolts that I use to hold the gps rx to the arm. I wondered if that would do anything.

    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS

    I finally had a chance to try out the gps board. Does anyone know how to tighten up the radius? I calibrated twice, the compass is very accurate and all calibrations are showing a check in their box. I was flying on a dead calm day in the middle of a wide open field. I am getting about a...

    Hoverfly Hoverfly pro not connecting after update

    yeah, mac support would be icing on the cake! Try plugging in the usb to the computer and wait for it to finish it's calibration sequence. Then try loading the software and connecting. I normally dont have an issue with the hoverfly pro board but I did have this issue with the GPS. It's...

    FPV Antenna ?

    Just to make sure, because this was my problem, are you using a monitor? Make absolutely sure that your monitor shows static! I was using a lilliput and couldnt imagine the signal became weak enough over 10' to turn the monitor blue. But that was exactly what happened. I switched to a cheapo...

    Team Blacksheep Discovery build

    im surprised the disco will lift the cx760. I guess it looks heavier than it really is.

    Balancing Xoar props

    Its harder for me to believe the plastic props are that off. the Xoars are wood so inherently there will be some variation in density. I've flown APC 12" SF props more than any other prop and they are very easy to balance by just using clear tape on one blade. Normally doesnt take much at all...

    Balancing Xoar props

    I spent over an hour balancing these things which all seem very out of balance! I know they are a natural product but having to do this much work on each prop makes me wonder if it is worth it. My question for the balancing pros is concerning the hub balancing. To start, I have a magnetic...
