The all black one is my recently completed build, a definite improvement over the all DJI electronics on the first one I built, the one with the white arms in front. Currently setup with 5.8 video and a 2.4 radio RX, I'll be swapping the VTX and RX between them so the black ops version will be...

Last Friday I finished swapping everything over from my F450 to the Discovery frame and Saturday morning I headed over to the field to get some test and tune flights on it. Flew quite well right off the bench but was seriously anemic in the power department with the stock 2215/905kv 3S motors...

On Saturday I flew the first FPV flights with my QAV500. Naza flight controller with GPS, Avroto 770kv motors on 4S, Graupner 10 x 5 props, Immersion 5.8 600mw vTx, and live video from the GoPro... It flys very different from my F330 and F450 FPV quads, the QAV wants to GO FAST in...

Lets start a thread for just FPV video, recorded either onboard or from a downlink. I spent a good part of the day out flying some of my FPV quads in very windy conditions, gusts to 15 mph. Mainly I wanted to get some flight time on my recently completed DJI F330 Naza quad with GPS and...

Recently I've been testing the ZeroUAV YS-X6 flight controller, a system similar to the WKM but with a better range of tuning parameters to work with. So far it has worked as advertised and has some interesting features that I think would make it well suited to APV use. Since I haven't seen...

Already been cloned by the look of things, or blatantly ripped off design, either way you can buy it for $999.99 instead of the DJI list price of $1900 +... http://rctimer.com/index.php?gOo=goods_details.dwt&goodsid=722&productname= If it's an OEM from DJI they just screwed everyone that has...

It finally arrived yesterday! My current testbed frame had a WKM on it, I removed the WKM and installed the X6, and then spent the rest of the evening read the manual and getting it setup to fly. This morning I did the maiden flight in the backyard, first impressions are good, still have some...

Just the kind of publicity the RC flying hobby doesn't need. Unfortunately I think there's going to be a lot more of this kind of thing happening which will only bring more scrutiny. At the mentioned 8000 feet I would think it would have to be FPV flying, not a good thing in proximity to a major...

One of yesterdays test flights with Skyline RSGS on AV130, Cinestar 6 with Wookong-M controller... Haven't touched the settings since the first round of test flights, still need to do a tiny bit of tweaking on the roll axis settings but otherwise some of the best raw video I've gotten with...

Just loaded it up on my testbed WKM quad and did a 5 minute test flight. This is the release that is supposed to make large frame multis more stable, the quad doesn't quite qualify although it's 600mm it weighs in at 2750 grams so not really a heavyweight either. I did notice the transition...

Fourth FPV flight of the day, about 66 seconds into the flight the quad starts to lose altitude despite no change in throttle setting. As soon as I realized it was going downward I increased the throttle to climb as there were some trees coming up that were starting to look awfully close in the...

As part of my recent MK FPV quad project I've been upgrading all my video gear and with the newfound freedom of video goggles with built in RX I decided to put together a grab and go FPV rig that requires minimal gear to get in the air. What I did was soft mount both an SN 777 camera with an...

-H for Hoverfly Sport flight controller! I like the 330mm frame size for aerobatic flying and general bashing around the sky, I've been having fun with the F450 with Naza controller but it's a bit too big and the Naza a little too slow for really tearing it up so I decided to give this...

Now that I spend a lot more time on the road for work I've been looking for an easy way to bring a quad along to kill time during the evenings at a hotel, here's what I've come up with... Has pretty much everything including some spares tucked away in the foam. I originally bought the mQX...

After lunch I pulled the F450 off the shelf and went out for a little flight break before getting back to work, decided to velcro the GoPro on and here's what I got out of it... I'm on the road for work the next two days, I'll be limited to flying the mQX in the hotel room tomorrow night so...

Yesterday my newly built Mk FPV quad got it's first outing at the flying field where I could actually fly it with the goggles rather than just hover it in my backyard in altitude hold and GPS position hold. Unfortunately by the time I got to the field and got everything setup the wind had come...

An email popped up in my inbox today with a link to some small really low $ almost ready to fly quads... http://www.nitroplanes.com/newhelicopters.html I'm tempted to order one just to see how good a sub $200 quad is or is not. You get a choice of two different flight controllers one being the...

Got out early this morning before the snow got here, first decent day of flying since the CS had its little oops on New Years day. While I was out I recorded about 30 minutes of video the end result is uploading now... Ken

Last week I setup a Naza controller on my Droidworx AD-6 frame to see what the combo could do. I did a couple test flights getting the settings right then put a GoPro on and this is the result... Ken
