Chris, make a video of flying with the foam and without. Sounds to me if you can repeat this experiment with the same results you have a theory. In the setup utility, does the AH box activate when you trigger from the radio? It would be nice to know if you at least have functionality...

As an alternative, a producer I am working with just pre-ordered a Sony fs700, which is due to release any week now. This thing will do 4k and some pretty high frame rates. its no RED. but it will definitely do the job with less weight and risk. Still an expensive project but the camera is...

nylocks are a must!

I glued a piece of foam carefully to the top of the sensor as to not get glue in the hole. but I am also thinking of checking out FRY's or radioShack and seeing if they have a plastic box that this will fit in.

Ok, I think what confused me, since I haven't installed anything yet, is I saw a cord for roll pot so I assumed it needed that input. but i see now that it is only an output from the servo to the skyline, not from the pot to the skyline. Otherwise I would have assumed the skyline would only...

So even if i dont update firmware i shouldnt plug into the software to tweak the gains? I have the av200 with 360. I'm still not clear on how a gyro can get accurate postion feedback without the pots. The pot is what makes it a closed loop. You take that out and the skyline has no idea...

A lot of people with the f450/550 get my legs and gopro camera mount. I put some pics up on my site. IrisAerial.com go to products page. Nothing fancy.

Can someone explain to me WHY/HOW when using the Skyline, you would NOT need the potentiometers? There is all this confusion on whether to use them or not but arent the pots the only way the system gets feedback for actual position? Otherwise you turn this in to a stepper motor type setup. This...

My Xaircraft V8(V for value) had at least one prop break (big surprise) which led to at least 2 or 3 props breaking mid air. It came down fast and pretty hard but i some how was able to assist its direction from over the water and landed on its skids upright. I also didnt tighten a prop nut...

Dewster, I love the use of the car's nav screen for FPV! Araines-are you lost in the wrong thread by chance?

I honestly didnt think it would fly from that video. You can tell when it is ground effect and when something is off. I actually like to do my test flight on a concrete floor so I can see if the cyclic and yaw work. You can tell without lifting the heli off if the controls do what they are...

I think you got mud in your tires. but seriously, I think you are in the right spot onthe radio to adjust that function but behold, it does not go negative. Does the other side go negative?

A few safety ideas came from this. 1) use a battery that is just enough to power the FC but not enough to put any oomph to the props. 2) make something that bolts the landing gear to the table so it can't take off. 3) lightly plug the battery in so any quick yank will disconnect them...

My biggest nightmare. Sorry to hear this. I live near water and fly over it all the time and fear this- always! It is unlikely to be firmware, more likely a voltage cut-off setting. other things that are possible but unlikely at that distance are loss of signal, faulty power distribution...

Ross: I am always serious about not being serious. I need a cop outfit and I am off to film. The wife gave me permission. Bart, do I have your permission to use my wife in ways not intended by this forum? clearly no one had a problem with me lifting her upside down with my forklift.

If there's one thing I've learned from multirotors, it's that nothing seems to work for everybody. As we are in a world of microscopic devices controlled by man made software, reaching all ends of the world's vastly changing magnetic fields and weather.....nothing can be rock solid. We throw...

go XY8. X8 will still show props.

I think i have had this a few times. Normally I just unplug the battery and start over and everything is fine. The one time I actually did something wrong was when I had my Tx binded to another heli.

Dude, that took 3 years to make that? Have you been locked in a cave away from the internet? I was expecting to see some sort of new folding arms or damper idea. What's wrong with the stock av130 tray? Where can I get those zip ties from?
