An excellent and simple idea that I didn't think of at the time. Sucks because i had one about 10' from me. When in the moment of panic it is easy to not make coherent decisions. So I talked with Hoverfly this morning, amazingly helpful people. They told me that the Hoverfly Pro doesnt...

Denny, i think it's safe to say you are highly biased toward the Z15 these days. I admit it is impressive but dont knock everything else for being really good as well.

Yeah, that was one of my complaints as well, how do you tell what firmware is current???

Bart the only reason i agree with you on flying in doors is the fact that there are concrete floors. Flying in tall grass is ideal for a soft landing but if the thing flies off it can harm others. This way i confine my heli to my own space and I know any wobbling I see is not from wind. What...

thanks for the offer. I'll call tomorrow. I am dying to know what went wrong. This was certainly a first for me as well. Normally when things lose control they go quickly. This was not a radio loss of signal nor a complete failure to interpret signal into function.

Simon, it's a 6' single rotor heli.

I really just want to know why this happened. The ONLY thing that i can think of is that altitude hold was activated. but would that prevent the throttle from shutting the motors down or being able to climb? I was stuck at 3" off the ground with minor cyclic control. I'm willing to give this...

I am feeling like I did a few months back, where this is a hopeless career path. You spend all this money and hope you can make a living at it, then find out it's illegal to go lfy anywhere even for fun. Then you get your arm chopped up trying to support a local business. I think the sad...

Hoverfly Pro first experience I have spent over a month getting this XY8 set up and making sure every end has been checked and checked again. I still feel absolutely confident that I have done nothing wrong construction wise or software wise. So today I found a moment of time to try out the...

how does theory work in a coax setup?

Im stil having issues with this as well. If its low it gets the erratic yaw twitch still. If i crank it up it becomes too sensitive to get nice chase flights from. Perhaps its my piloting but there seems to be too much yaw correction showing up in my long shots. I think I will try cranking...

With the exception of the altitude sensor hole I'm curious if you could put liquid electrical tape all over the board to protect it.

I believe one of the first things the manual says for the 360 kit is to check if It drifts when you plug it directly to your rx. It then gives instructions on how to adjust it so it stops drifting. You should not have to adjust the tx settings to stop this. I know the picture shows an external...

Well, one things for sure, after reading this I am definitely not testing my first flight with my shiny new av200/360 gear on it!

remove them completely. yes. gyro acts as potentiometer. did you read the manual? Here are a few misleading things I can point out. 1. manual 1.2 is the first version (1.0) while manual 1.1 is the newest one (1.1) this only matters if you are looking in your previous downloads and you had...

Man, if that worked this would be awesome! My friend just bought a R44 and we have been toying with ideas. I just assumed that the 400 rpm head speed is too nasty of an oscillation to try and constantly compensate with a gimbal like this. I am leaning more towards a mechanical isolation. If...

I have not thoroughly played with the settings but by default, no, you cant override roll. but why would you want to? At that point there is no point in using gyros. I think it's prefect the way it is. Pan is all manual, roll is stabilized, tilt is stabilized but can be controlled by tx...

you would have to make a plate to go over the top of the frame.

Probably not a good idea unless you dont want to plan on spinning more than 180 deg. The battery mount is fixed to the heli. everything that is on a 360 setup needs to be on the gimbal/gear and completely separated. but this is nice as well because you can separate the 2 for shipping or...
