Hmmm, seems like that could be useful for some long straight shots I guess. Most of what I have done has been chasing cars and the pan is constantly being adjusted while the heli just flies on a designated path. but I see your point now.

Wow, it's even good enough to keep aliens out of the country. From DJI.com - "It is the best choice even for border patrol"

Why would you want pan to be stabilized? The last 2 person operator heli I used we had NO stabilization and it worked VERY well. The whole idea in a 360 gimbal is for a 2 operator setup. With this it would be pointless to have anything but manual control of pan. the only thing that should be...

I got this email from Kim: "Hi Yuri, When using the Skyline it is important that you keep the power supply etc separate from any other flight control system. On start up the power to the servos is cut while the gyro and accelerometer warm up and start. Some tips to ensure minimal RF...

It's gonna be hard to beat the performance of the Graupners in terms of video. But having more lift would be nice.

You got 14" Xoars right? I wonder if the 12" Xoars would work better. I know Bart uses them with his XY8 Hoverfly.

it's going to be a documentary on the ongoing issues of hot cops harassing heli pilots. Scene 1: Female Cop(sexy european voice): "Hello there, do you have a permit for that?" Innocent heli pilot: "Yes mam, it is attached to my cone, you want to see it?" Female Cop: " I'm afraid I am...

No, didnt get hassled, just always thinking ahead. :)

I was thinking when we want to shoot in areas that we may be hassled in, we can get some orange safety cones, a fake permit, and a cop uniform. So get a photocopy of a local permit and tape it to one of the cones. Get your wife or friend to wear the police outfit and just get your shot. By...

great idea. but what keeps it floating? surely more than just ping pong balls if it is sold as amphibious.

a few of those chicks seemed to NOT like being filmed at all by the look on their faces. haha!

Why cant you raise the battery tray a little with some extra stand-offs?

I would think balance is a lot more important than the minuscule weight difference.

Tstrike, I started to use those mechanical connectors as I thought it was the easiest way. then I weighed all the parts on the scale and it was 5 times as heavy. Then again even at 5 times the weight it wasnt much. It would certainly be the easiest way if you needed to swap an esc or take an...

The board is nice only for convenience of soldering, nothing else. i spent 3 hours staring at my 18 wires to be loomed together and tried soldering to a washer, 4 wires ata time, wire lugs, copper disc. I ended up not being happy with any of them as it was just a royal PITA to get that many...

Before buying a simulator I would definitely recommend buying this first and just seeing if you like it. There is no point in getting a simulator if you dont like flying the real thing. Then post all your videos so we can enjoy watching them...

good solution to add peace of mind. I'm getting restless deciding how to do this. I am about to just use a wire lug and bolt them all together! But seriously, weight aside, why not just solder/crimp bolt lugs to the ends of all the esc wires and just run a bolt through them all? Easy to...

Are you using it on an AV200? Getting mine monday so i wil be following closely. I still dont understand the logic behind making the gyros fixed on the pitch axis.

Way to go. Looking nice. I am days from getting my XY8 going with the Hoverfly pro, so it will interesting to compare results. I too am having a tough time figuring out how to make a power board. I refuse to buy one as none of them are really perfect. My plan is to CNC out 2 copper rings...

using 5.06 for a while and I cant get rid of the Yaw issue. If I turn gain down it twitches erratically. if i turn it up it goes away but becomes VERY sensitive. Other than this everything flies pretty damn well. I'm flying a 800mm Y6.
