    Help me out please, chargers and charge rates

    So, power supply/charger not being a factor, isn't there a limit to how much juice you can inject at a time without harming the cells? I heard that the rule of thumb was max charge at the output of the battery. So if it is 5000mah you charge it at 5 amps max. The I was told even this was...

    What's with the toilet bowl?

    I can now safely add that flying my hex at my shop and flying it at an open field with the same settings had 2 very different results. At my shop the hex toilet bowled really badly, upward of 30'. At the open field it was within 2' max. I've seen Libr22's DJI hex and it was solidly glued in...

    slowing down video

    Twixtor is a PITA to use and make work. these guys know what to shoot to make this work. The way it works, it does not like a lot of organic backgrounds. I got some decent shots using a green screen, that was about it. everything else looked like it was morphing images. It needs to be very...

    F450 Battery

    you dont need 40 c for this thing! I have been flying 3s 5500 25c's on my large hex with gimbal/camera with zero problems. Maybe the math doesnt work out but having no heating issues or failures must account for something. But on a 450 quad there is no reason to think you need more than...

    How hard can you push APC SF props?

    Ive dumped my apc 12x3.8's in the ground so many times I gave up counting. They dont show any signs of breaking. They might get brittle in really cold areas but so do all props. I can only say a few negative things about APC... they are inconsistant, they need to be checked on a balancer, the...

    What's with the toilet bowl?

    I have been told by a few people that toilet bowling is directly caused by gains and inaccurate GPS location measurements. I have dialed mine in but I swear it depends where I fly. Today it flew great, yesterday it was a 30' circle. No changes. I am wondering if I need to use the longest...

    XAircraft Exploding props

    Of course they're the same. except DJI say DJI on them. There is 1 factory that makes all this rubber dog crap.

    First flight woooooo party thread!

    It is about the best toy out there right now. After my Xaircraft prop experience I was very hesitant to use these too. But the ones I got were VERY strong. I tried breaking them and they would not break. I crashed hard and 1 prop blade broke. I think there are inconsistencies in the...

    hero2 modes

    has anyone figured out what causes the GOPro2 to make those funky colors? It seems erratic but 1 in 10 videos have that solarized effect over them, sucks when your best shot of the day looks like someone applied an iphone image effect to it.

    I bet this caused some buzz in the city...

    Hey, the multirotor is tethered, what can go wrong? Plus, the FAA probably hasnt outlawed flying people-yet. I know the Black Sheep guys get full permission and police support for doing their shoots.

    DJI NAZA - Software won't recognise USB connection.... GRRRRR!

    your software will say motor output off at the bottom if it is connected. I had a bad USB/LED module, drove me up the wall. I am now on unit number 3! I mentioned this before but take a file and take off the burrs on the USB plug end. Those things were enough to rip off the female port...

    Soldering question

    one word of advice. If for some reason you buy the chinese version of the Dean's....like the ones at Servocity, it helps to connect the male and female while you solder them. The chinese plastic melts at a much lower temperature and can cool down in a deformed position making the 2 halves not...

    DJI F450 "batwing" camera bracket

    thats pretty damn good gopro footage especially flying nose in. I think the large helis do better as well. more mass is always a plus.

    DJI F450 "batwing" camera bracket

    There are definitely benefits to having one on the rear for reasons you just mentioned. Here's a quick video of 720 60p. I have tried every prop in my arsenal and multiple resolutions, inside and outside all with different gains. Took me forever. but i can say that this bracket doesn't seem...

    The entire globe seems to be sold out. very weird. but now of course, the immersion diversity boards are back in stock. I ended up getting the Iftron mondo stinger to use with the immersionrc diversity rx. I was told this works fine.
