I'm curious why you went with those super brains over the plush. These are only good for 3s max. I'm tempted to grab your Hoverfly board if you would sell that separately.

Ken from all your posts about how your hoverfly collects dust??? Really?

so the obvious question is why are you selling it and what's replacing the gimbal controller? Let me guess....radians?

I was thinking about the ring because i am a metal fabricator and that is super cheap and easy to manufacture. I also thought it might transmit vibrations differently than arms to my advantage. The big problem is that you still need a core to balance batteries, electronics and the gimbal which...

WTF? a fixed lens??? That will kill all of their sales right there. And it doesnt do 1080/60p like the nex's do. For that price, forget it.

I've had this idea of a ring that I never finished building as it weighed more. But the idea of staggering an X8 was of interest. here is the cad drawing I made a while back in hex form but I also imagined it in a staggered 8 config based off of a ring concept. There was also this idea...

You know if we had that, we would strap some AXI 4120's on that bad boy! or bigger. I wonder what size they use.

yeah, what kloner said was exactly what happened to me. Not sure if you can redo it if you dont find it the first time around. we got your back Ben! edit: ok found it! done. good luck.

I wasn't making an argument against the physics of more weight falling doing more damage, I was simply stating that they will BOTH do an immense amount of harm so it shouldnt matter what you fly. 10lbs falling from 50m would probably kill someone as well. it's like saying you dont have to be...

Ah! I didnt think of that! it was hot and about 6000'. that could very well be it right there. Good thinking. Cells were not hot at all.

no voltage cutoff is and always has been off. it doesnt shut off it just seems to have limited power. And I know the heli and how it normally handles. there is 1 cell that is 4.19 here and there. I have ignored it for the most part. I just see it as a sign to balance charge them instead of...

Some good points there. I am very conservative with how long I fly them, normally dont go below 3.85v/cell. I never leave them charged for extended periods of time, meaning if am not going to fly them in a week, I hover it in the shop for 5 minutes to draw them down. they stay in my shop in...

I dont think there is going to be much of a difference if 30 lbs falls or 15lbs, it's all over at that point. Just investment and insurance. but if you are flying a camera rig that weighs 30+ lbs, i bet you will be twice as safe flying it as you have at least $20k in the air.

I dusted off my WKM Y6 to take up to the mountains this weekend. I had something very weird happen for the first time ever. My throttle was 100% full and i still barely had enough juice to cushion a decent that would otherwise be no issue at all. I did change the firmware from 5.08 to 5.12...

nice! I love the trash can full of lipos. X8's rule! Are those 4120's?

i use VLC to preview clips. For editing i use Premiere Pro and After Effects. And yes, Premiere has an AVCHD 1080/60p setting.

Yeah, I wasnt overly impressed with some of the work, but hey, it's all marketing in the end. ken, I forgot about how to disarm the DJI, thanks for the reminder. I have become so used to the Hoverfly that I have to retrain my mind everytime i go to the DJI, which is why I want to sell it.

that made the news? one thing I dont like about my Wookong is that you cant unarm it from the tx like on the hoverfly. I realize once the motors stop for a certain amount of time you have to arm it but I like being able to disarm it as well.

I have both Y6 and X8 on DJI and Hoverfly. Both turn opp top/bottom. Not sure what controller does it otherwise but why would you want this?
