I couldnt bring myself to buy a new PC for just the heli so I bought a Macbook pro assuming I could make this work but there is no usb connectivity at all. I am using Virtual box and I installed the extension set that is supposed to make the usb work amongst many other things. any ideas on how...

I over heard on the NAB video that they are developing their own FC? I would hope if they do it, they do it right and can make something worth competing with the Chinese products.

Although black pipe insulation looks nice, isnt the purpose to have different colors to help with orientation? Looks good though.

I suppose that works. Maybe a little more weight but if it works for you, awesome. Thanks for posting pics. Yuri

not liking the concept of all tops rotating one direction.

yeah, that was my same experience this last shoot. the DP handed us a 5d like it was chewing gum. After talking him down to the t2i he understood. A 5d is just not necessary for aerials IMO. Just makes things more nerve racking.

thats a pretty heavy lens on a heavy camera. If I used Canon i would buy a 24 or 35 prime. I like that the T2i/550d has analog output and a plug for remote shutter. These are big perks right there! It is a great camera. I am using the Nex5n though as I really like having 1080 60p and the...

OS has been the king for gas engines ever since I have been around. I never hear anyone using their brushless motors/esc's for multis though. I know they are expensive but if they are more reliable then it is worth it. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXBHEN...

this yaw issue stemming from the new firmware.....anyone found a work around? yesterday the hex was flying in decent wind but was predictable less the yaw twitch. If the gains go up it gets to worse, if they go down it has very little control. Another question in general about gains. In...

that was fast! nice job.

my wife has a rabbit but it doesnt have gps. hehe :) could use a good size lipo though. Damn AA destroyer.

I think I got job happy from the huge production environment. I think I will play it smart and wait for the job to roll in before building an expensive heli on faith. but that's the problem, you kinda need to have the heli and experience with it first. Hmmm.

Robert seems like a decent guy. He can be tough to get a hold of at times but thats because he probably doesnt sit in front of the computer 24-7 and has a life outside of this. Considering he does do a pretty good job. I can also voucher that he WILL back up what he sells. This is a great...

Yeah, having you there was actually nice. 1-pilot, 1-camera operator and 1-person to call out time left on batteries, spot, charge batteries, view movement of vehicles etc. Let's hope for another amazing gig like that. The funny part is you are the best pilot of all 3 of us there but you...

I havent used APC thins yet but they are probably somewhat similar to Graupners. APC slow flys have much more surface area for the same size prop. They are much more flexible than the others excluding chinese props which are all garbage. APC's sometimes need a little balancing to get perfect...

Is this proof of DJI's business plan or what? Dont fix the existing products, sell new ones. I think they model after Apple. but Apple makes awesome products to begin with that dont need a lot of work and they fix what is their fault. Next they will get rid of the USB port and make a...

I cant see it not working. we dont really need top quality either as we are only transmitting SD.

good find! thanks for posting. The other board was very large for what it was doing.

I have no problem importing an .AI file into my CAD program. Sometimes you just need to make sure the units are correct and there are also double lines where you have anything more than a 1 point line.
