    Frsutration and the forums

    I have a different approach. let it all out...vent. then say sorry afterward and feel better. Maybe there should be an emoticon for feeling hormonal when posting. Or how about just HWP. That will let us know to take the post with a GOS (grain of salt). We have a right to be upset when we...

    Wookong-M Firmware v5.10

    My DJI never flew great at work. I dont know why. Metal buildings weird winds. It flies the same as before. The fact it didnt try to fly back to China makes it a success to me. As I flew a job earlier out in the open and the wind was calm I can compare the GPS. Normally the gps sucks at...

    Wookong-M Firmware v5.10

    I just updated to 5.10 and everything went smoothly without a hiccup. GPS is noticeably better and it was windy. The Yaw twitch isnt there which was my main complaint with the last firmware. RTH options are nice although I didnt test them. But all does work. this was tested on my...

    Giving Up on WKM

    I am getting very close to selling my WKM setup as well. I like the changes that the new firmware is suggesting, but like everyone, I am too scared to even try it. It's like we are all looking over the edge of a clif and waiting for the first guy to jump. I will say that after getting a...

    Photohigher skyline rsgs

    I have the cc bec and it's weird because on the av130 without the skyline it definitely does better on 6.5 volts. But on my av200 with the skyline it does fine on 5 volts.

    New Contest, Why?

    OK, call me the village idiot but I have this wacky idea for this contest. I was visualizing some ideas and came to this conclusion that most of us need to interview other heli pilots. Well, since the theme is "Why a Multi" then we obviously need to ask people who already fly multis. I can't...

    Two clients want me to fly their RED EPIC cameras - advice?

    It's a $40-50k camera, what's another $600 in motors gonna matter to get the best. Any and all costs to avoid putting MSG in your heli should be taken to have that extra safeguard against failure. Although i am sure those tigers are mostly good, I did get a bad motor twice now from them. Once...

    Two clients want me to fly their RED EPIC cameras - advice?

    maybe buy that guys trex 700 gasser on the forum here. he only wanted $900 for it. You're flying in manual mode anyways, there wont be much difference. And you'll have auto rotation and superior wind/high speed performance. Other than that you are looking at the next step up in motors...

    Hoverfly New Firmware release V 4.3.800

    The previous firmware didnt allow you to adjust the rate at which the heli "snaps" back to level. It flies the same in manual which would be hard to make any better. But this added slider alone makes it worth it. it is also nice to be able to take off in AL mode as I am used to DJI where you...

    Hoverfly setup utility problems after update

    It can be frustrating to know exactly what combination it takes to connect on certain pages. I have learned that some pages, such as calibration or flight log export dont connect until you hit ok on the following windows. I also think that you are not supposed to connect the usb when you are...

    Hoverfly New Firmware release V 4.3.800

    I installed new software/firmware and this thing is amazing! I didnt play with the altitude hold much but it doesnt really interest me as much as just flight characteristics. It was blowing 8-10 outside and here at my shop the DJI NEVER flew well due to metal buildings or some weird RFI. but...

    kloners TBS Discovery

    Kloner, you have become "THE" FPV guy. Sorry if it was answered already but if the 2 antennas on the UHF are your vtx, then what is the other clover leaf for? Just wondered if you somehow are boosting your rx reception. I dont know much about this other than I tend to sell my FPV gear quicker...

    Flying over a lake...

    excellent work as always. Do you charge more when you fly over water? for gymkhana 5 we asked them to cover the entire cost of the heli for the shot over the barge, which we both denied at the last day because they needed a cineflex regardless for the bridge shots.

    Hoverfly New Firmware release V 4.3.800

    If those batteries are an issue I will have serious problems when I mount the av200 with camera and accessories. Maybe the cinestar having the battery tray above everything makes this work for them. But my setup using the provided battery trays on the av200's 360 kit tray will put a lot of...

    Hoverfly New Firmware release V 4.3.800

    Is this firmware supposed to make the heli usable in AL mode? We all need to push Hoverfly to make firmware that allows control of how fast the heli snaps back to center. Edit: Funny, i just read the link after writing this. Looks like they listened! WOW. I cant wait to try this.
