I am totally with you. I constantly think of selling all my gear and just getting a beater to keep my skills up. shoots can be so damn stressful it is often barely worth it. And to pay for the investment of "real" gear takes a lot of work without crashing. In california if you hit someone or...

You only take off the pots when using their skyline. Everything else you need the pots on. Throwing them away was clearly not a bright idea!

I am curious to hear from those that chose the Skyline over the Hoverfly gimbal. I have a very short period of time left to get my gimbal in tip top shape and I feel everyday I wait for an answer to arrive on the PH there are more issues. I am not an electrical engineer and dont really have...

I am using a 360 av200 so I need a separate gyro. thats the only reason.

I dont see why one heli would crash though just because it was a little different. I am flying the XY8 like bart has and I know it flies great on the Hoverfly Pro, regardless of what Hoverfly says about it not being ideal. So if something goes wrong it is not because of the config. it is due...

I'm thinking about buying the hoverfly gimbal as I need something that will work very soon. I cant wait for all the fixes to get ironed out on my skyline unfortunately. It sounds like it is pretty straight forward but I just want to check if there are any weird things going on with it. All I...

But you are on .802 right? bart just got me worried when he said he crashed over and over. I'm testing on concrete floors.

I think the monitor is not the issue, it is more the quality of the signal being transmitted. but I am not really sure about this. The converter certainly does its job of down grading the signal. but all in all, you dont really use the monitor to check for color, it is more just for framing.

I have a hard time believing any esc would get rid of the whine. Isn't most of that just the sound of a prop spinning through air? So hows the new firmware treating everyone? I am not flying until I hear something good. I am selling my Hoverfly and I need it to work without a hitch when test...

what if you just stuck some silly putty on the gears?

ok, just tried it and this was my problem all this time! I have bought 3 sets of 5.8 ghz vtx and all this time it was my lilliput that was just going black at any sign of weakness. I can go through my steel building and around the corner and still get signal now! Woohoo. Kloner for...

Yeah, it's weird how it has an hdmi input option? The layout is very similar to my lilliput monitor, I bet they are the same manufacturer. But my lilliput does have hdmi input and is slighlty better quality. I am really hoping this has been the problem with all my FPV systems.

I know ben and myself are using the plush 40's and havent had much problem. Though I dont have much flying time on mine at all as i havent built enough confidence to go out and shoot with it yet. i have certainly hovered a full batteries worth without issues though. You also mentioned it is...

just got mine in today. Can you explain the trick to get into ntsc? thanks

So that means there is NO chance of redundancy on my X8 using Hoverfly? I doubt it is your config as I have the same thing and it flies great. The motor being bad is unlikely but like you said, not worth eliminating from the check list. The best test would be to roll back to .800 and see if...

If you want i can send you the old firmwares to try. i think someone tried uploading a link to all the odl ones. i would go back to 5.06 or 5.08. Sucks though, as it's always when you need it the most when things act up.

Anything to do with faulty esc? Maybe try a different cutoff mode? Is your voltage fail safe enabled? If so turn it off.

Can you please post this in one of the on going threads already thoroughly covering this exact issue? Thanks.

So what made it crash? You got me too scared to try the new firmware now.

ok, I finally had a moment to try the new firmware and i cant even get the gimbal to not start rolling around so much it lifts the heli off the ground! The firmware installed ok. It's a very weird setup as you are supposed to hit the run button and then plug in the power? Anyways, I cant get...
