    look what happened to Chuck

    Damn Graupners! I'm sure of it. Sorry to hear this. After having an iBeam fall on my head and break my arm in 2 this doesnt look quite so bad but hospitals suck regardless. get better!

    flying over water!

    I hear ya. I am a kitesurfer and one of the hopes getting into this was shooting over water. But it is nerve racking. I guess you are either rich, ballsy, stupid, extremely confident or a little of all those. One answer I am looking into is using a glider like all the fpv guys use such as...

    Multirotors make to New Scientist magazine

    Very interesting. I guess there is hope. I like the weight based classes. It is ridiculous to ban everything because there are potential hazards. We dont ban alcohol or guns or cars. It all comes down to money. We(humans) need to start taking responsibility for our own actions again...

    I took it from Facebook, I thought it was pretty funny too.

    jeff, I was wondering if you use an hdmi converter for the nex. I have mine all laid out and am seeing how much crap is involved in making it work. 5 volts for the hdmi, 12 for the TX, the huge hdmi cable issue. weight weight weight! Thinking of just getting a sony 555 and forgetting...

    Need help with FPV antenna cable type.

    I am completely baffled as to how these antennas have been out for so lang and there is not a cable to attach them both together??? I realize that I am calling these the wrong thing too. When i refer to female i am thinking of the physical threads, not the inside prong. So i think technically...

    Need help with FPV antenna cable type.

    OK, to be more specific, because i dont understand your response....... I have an immersionrc 5.8 diversity RX, a patch antenna and a blue beam. the blue beam screw right to the Rx but the patch antenna needs to be located elsewhere and is also a male fitting. Regardless of prop 8, 2 males...

    Need help with FPV antenna cable type.

    I just got a patch antenna and it is male rp-sma, I think. Wondering where you guys get these female to female cables to attach the male to male ends from the patch to the receiver. Readymaderc has male to female but that doesnt fit the bill. I'm thinking radio Shack might have a converter...

    Sudden climbs/descents while in GPS mode (Wookong-M)

    I thought throttle was not compensated for at all in GPS mode? Perhaps a side effect of yaw induced climb? Are you using heading hold as well?

    OK, so the call is obviously out. what I really want to know is if you ever tested the y6 with redundancy using the WKM. Essentially this means it needs to fly on 3 motors, right? Anyway to try it out by taking a prop off? Very curious. if it's not this, I am thinking of going back to an X8...

    New gopro firmware supposed to fix picture problems

    I just got an email from tech support at Gopro and they said new firmware will get rid of that color haze that occurs every now and then.

    What's with the toilet bowl?

    good to know thanks. I would not try flying in GPS mode, but didnt know if it still kicked into failsafe in atti with no satellites established. We are dealing with Chinese logic here so you never know what kind of *** backwards things can happen.

    Nice little package...

    thats what she said! :)

    What's with the toilet bowl?

    Does this invalidate a previous post concerning getting out of RTH once activated? That got me really worried to even try it out. I do know that if I hit my fail safe in hover mode it will turn off and regain control. Another question about GPS is what happens when you fly indoors and it...

    What's with the toilet bowl?

    Something I havent seen answered is where do you measure to on the IMU? Is it the bottom or the middle? The fact that the software only allows for single decimal units makes me think it doesnt have to be THAT accurate.

    Naza Trim Issue

    Nice bulb shot! As for package deals, I certainly thought of that. the problem is that I didnt charge enough to begin with. It takes 20 units to pay for a sheet of carbon fiber. So I ask myself why I bother doing this. I think the reality is, I either need to jack up the price or use a...

    slowing down video

    mombasa: I dont use FCP, so Mercalli is the best. Never tried the built in Warp effect in cs5.5 since I am on cs5. But I agree that it should only be used to fine tune an already decent shot. otherwise you get jumps and blurs and some other weird undesirable effects. Pretty amazing what it...
