The most ****ed up reality of this is that a kid flying an RC heli for sport is way more dangerous than someone trying to make money at it. The business will have better equipment and be very concerned about maintaining their reputation. The business only gets shots from the heli and not doing...

I replaced the esc that was giving me problems. this is a new esc and was still acting up on the same motor it went to. but since the motor works with other esc's I am assuming neither is at fault. Possibly the output of the hoverfly? i dont know.

Denny are you saying I have brain damage? :)

it's all in the mail. Will be here next week. Now I need to get more motors for my damn octo. God forbid I have more than 1 hour on the Tiger motors! Nee Hao!

the esc works fine on another motor. I have the program card, they are all fine. I have Hoverfly's recommended settings and they have worked before. I permanently switched the 2 esc/motors that seemed to work better with one another. it just doesnt exude confidence not knowing whats different...

They have BEC's. Turnigy plush. Ok, so here's something else that's very weird. One motor stutters, which is why i swapped esc's in the first place. but now the same motor still stutters. I concluded it was the esc after trying the same motor on 2 other esc's and it worked fine! So now...

Ok, so apparently I was not as meticulous as I thought I was being as I left one of the negative wires off of an ESC! I had no idea until I had another bad esc which I decided to recently replace. what baffles me is that the ESC seems to have been working. I am using the HoverFly pro board...

Just make damn sure they show static! I went through hell learning this the hard way. cost me about $1500!

thanks. when you do this do you need to change the software more to continuos for the servos? This is using the Hovergimbal of course.

no question 4s is better all around. More power, more efficient, higher prop speed will show much less rolling shutter if none at all, better in wind.....

Wait wait, does this mean my meth lab is not covered under my home owners insurance? Aerialpak denied me when i told them I ship drugs over the border with an rc drone. I hope no one gets hurt by that guy selling tacos from his taco copter!

There is some talent among us! I dont know how the hell the judges are gonna pick this one. I know it takes the competitive side out of it but the best result for the site would be to re edit parts of a few of the videos. Some guys have great CG, some have good footage, some have a good voice...

Is there a prize for second and third place? with over 40 hours in this I think i should at least get a t-shirt. Actually, I will donate a set of IrisAerial F450/550 landing gear and a batwing camera mount to the second place winner. I will donate an IrisAerial motor wrench to the 3rd place...

maybe Hoverfly can chime in here but from what i understand, there is an option under the servo tab that allows you to go into continuos rotation mode. when you do this, you take the pots off completely and attach the board to the camera platform such that it stays fixed to the camera. It is...

I was told this as well by Al at Hoverfly. I am curious to know if anyone has tried mounting the board on the tilt using no pots, similar to the Skyline setup. Seems getting rid of the pots is the way to go as they are a weak link in the chain. I have pretty good results from the standard...

Crap! I spent 40 hours making this and just realized I showed why a single rotor was better. :)

man, there are gonna be a LOT of helicopters at that event.

I think Denny or some other grumpy old guy on here made one at some point. :) kidding Denny.

I'd fly my DJI over water any day as I am always secretly hoping it will crash and drown so I can get rid of the WooChong. kidding, I'd rather just sell it. :)
