    Have we come too far too fast?

    Trust me we are both more than capable of flying manually on anything that will fly right. And I dont know the answer to how DJI's manual mode works. I am pretty sure it is completely manual with no assistance of any kind. But not sure. All I know is it has always flown like crap and is in...

    Have we come too far too fast?

    This brings up a whole other topic of why does the DJI Wookong even have manual mode? It is completely useless and impossible to fly. We just put the radio down for a second to adjust the camera and it flipped down a click into manual. took off sorta ok, as it was windy we assumed it was just...

    Have we come too far too fast?

    So today, my friend and I shot a commercial for a resort. The last shot of the day the DJI woochang accidentally flipped into manual mode and made the heli absolutely uncontrollable. It flipped upside down and crashed! This is a $12k heli and it held up surprisingly well. A few replaced arms...

    "And I've had clients that couldn't tell a good picture from a boil on their backside!" Jes, I have to agree this was not a professional photographer who took this.

    Have we come too far too fast?

    I just want to clarify that I am not really frustrated or angry as I am in idle mode. I thought it would be interesting to see where people stand on the multi vs. SRH heli again. It's been a while as multi's have taken over the market almost completely. Ironically this comes at the same time...

    Have we come too far too fast?

    I completely agree it's a grass is greener thing. I am for the most part happy with my multis. I would love to have the wind tolerance of a SRH on my multi though. I would also like to be able to safely lift 10 lbs without having to buy 8 large motors. It would be nice knowing i had one last...

    New Contest, Why?

    It would be nice to have more time. I seriously doubt I can pull a video out of my hat with my current workload. Oh well.

    Have we come too far too fast?

    destroyed by wind meant that it just wont fly smooth enough when the winds get past 10-15. Thats where MK shines. And yes, my QC reference was to quality control. There is a reason they make you solder things....they can blame it on you no matter what happens. complete BS!

    Have we come too far too fast?

    The real heli was using a cineflex, you cant compete with that. $15k for the day. I have tons of pics/video that I will upload at some point. We had 6 shots in there, and yes for some reason they not only chose a few shaky shots but they left out the best of all the shots from all 4 days! I...

    Have we come too far too fast?

    I'm curious if anyone else is having similar thoughts. As a few companies have released unreliable firmwares that have stuck thousands of our $'s in the dirt, we keep hoping and burning money for the next best thing. I started with Xaircraft and was told it was the best thing ever and flew...

    Darko, I can promise you they know the problems at hand. Your frustration is loud and clear, we are all in the same boat. The question isnt if they are working their asses off on this. The real question is, at what point in time is it fair to surrender efforts if a solution doesn't arrive in...

    How to test multicopter safely?

    There is no perfect way. If you lock it down it never flies right. If you fly with a tether it will probably get wound up in the props. If you fly in a field with long grass it may fly back to China on its own. So you have to pick your poison. I think if you test without props, then add...

    ImmersionRC 5.8Ghz transmitter setup suggestions

    I still cant believe I cant go more than 10' no matter where the damn things are. i appreciate your efforts. I had the clover leafs last time and I wasnt able to get much further. When i had teh fatsharks with built in rx I could go maybe 1000' LOS. When I had the Stinger pro I could get...

    ImmersionRC 5.8Ghz transmitter setup suggestions

    I thought they were supposed to be one pointed staright down and the other straight up. I will try unmounting it but this is crazy I would think I could get half of what others are claiming to get on at least one of my setups! I see my friends have these cheapo chinese tx setups and tehy work...

    ImmersionRC 5.8Ghz transmitter setup suggestions

    Ive tried different batteries, all channels. WHAT the hell am I doing wrong? Seriously, how can one have 3 sets of FPV stuff and not get more than 10' distance.

    How do you feel about animated banner ads?

    never thought about it. I think we are so used to it every where else it just gets tuned out. maybe more hot chicks in the ads would be nice. After all this is a predominantly male hobby.
