    First flights

    Is it just me or does anyone else get a huge thrill from the first successful flight of a new build? Used to be the first flight of a new heli was more a like few moments of sheer terror, being new to the game and not quite knowing what would happen once the skids left the ground, but that...

    Hoverfly Pro gets a new frame

    We're having a particularly bad winter here in the northeastern USA, since the day after Christmas we've had 4 feet off snow dumped on us with the threat of even more to come in the next couple of days and now the outside temperatures have dipped down to the single digits on the Farenheit scale...

    Censorship, it just ain't right

    Sorry, have to vent a bit here. I actively participate in another multirotor vendor specific forum that has apparently taken to censoring things that they personally don't approve of or any reference to manufacturers that won't let them sell their product and I think that's just wrong, period. I...

    Multi rotor camera mounts, the good, the bad, and the ugly

    Ok guys, lets start the ball rolling over here. I think an open and honest discussion about camera mounts for multirotor craft is a good place to start since we all seem to have some level of experience with them. I'll start by listing what I've used so far, the MK HiSight II, the PhotoshipOne...
