That remains to be determined. I've flown one of my Disco's with 2814 Avroto on it which is the same motor I use on my Droidworx AD6 heavy lifter. Have to be hauling some serious weight on the Disco to need that kind of power and if it comes to that, maybe I'm trying to use the wrong frame for...

Here's a size comparison I did between my WKM and the YS-X6... It's bigger than a Wookong-m and you'd have a hard time making a WKM fit into a Discovery. My current project is some minor modifications for a Discovery frame... That's an APC 13 inch thin electric...

That was the first time I flew it in the field, prior to that all it had was some basic test flights in the backyard to make sure everything worked. I've got the settings on the board really loose and it's a bit of a handful to try and fly normally but that's not why I built it! The Flip...

MTK is the old GPS unit, pretty much all the current setups use uBlox which is a much better (faster and more accurate) unit. I had a alot of problems even with uBlox when the M/W board was in close proximity to either a power distribution board or battery/ESC wires. Getting the board further...

Having a YS-X6 and a few Discovery frames on hand, I'd say you would have a hard time finding enough room for all the bits and pieces of the YS flight controller system. A better alternative might be an APM 2.5 if you want similar capabilites like waypoints, ground station, etc. If you just want...

It is true and a bit strange that APC includes the adaptors with all of their props EXCEPT the multirotor version. Given the variety of motors and prop adaptors used on multis you would think that adpator rings would be just as imporrtant as on any other RC aircraft. That said I have a plastic...

Both Droidworx and Cinestar will do the job and are constructed from high quality materials, I own versions from each company. As Denny notes some of the Chinese manufacturers are starting to catch up in terms of build and material quality although most of their designs are slightly modified...

Here's a pic of the orange and black completely outfitted and ready to fly... Working on a couple new things now that this one is fairly well sorted... :) Ken

I buy in bulk from here... http://rtlfasteners.com/ don't know if they ship international or if it would even be worth the cost of shipping and customs to order nuts and bolts from the US. I can say everything I've ever ordered from them has been of the highest quality, I've yet to have the...

The Flip is a Multiwii board, it should have come with the config specified when it was ordered but it's always a good idea to check, plus you should calibrate the accelerometer before you fly it even if you don't plan to use autolevel. The default settings in the Multiwii firmware should give a...

Printer is a Solidoodle SD3. Currently using Sketchup for CAD since it seems to be what a lot of other SD users are using and there are a lot of designs done in it that can be customized. Eventually I'll change to something better when I have the time to learn a new program, Sketchup exports to...

I've recently acquired a 3D printer and one of my first projects was trying to make replacement arms for the less than sturdy Delrin parts of a HoneyBadger FPV frame I have... None of those were due to hard crashes, all it takes is a rough landing on a hard surface to do that kind of damage...

No, my original set went out again so I'm keeping the newer set and will use the old ones for parts as needed. Ken

Welcome to the hugely frustrating world of RSGS ownership, fix one thing and another goes whacky. Get it working right for a flight or two and it goes into total instability the next time you try to use it, do a full setup AGAIN and get it to work for another flight or two, repeat as...

I'm just waiting to receive notice that mine has shipped, when I preordered they said delivery mid-August which has come and gone with no news :( The best I can determine is they are still waiting on some parts to complete the kits before shipping, and that from some snippets on the Stingray...

Yes, UPS should deliver it tomorrow! Sorry for the delay responding, things have been quite busy lately and I haven't had much time for sitting at the computer. One small piece of bad news, while cleaning some things off the bench I found the charger for the radio that should have gone in the...

Been a bit of a whirlwind week with my day job, even so I managed to squeezae the last few things on this project into the odd free moment. Here's the final bit of work I did.... Without a gimbal you still need a way to secure a GoPro to the multi, and since this one seems to have a...

DJI flight controllers have issues with random yaw in FF regardless of frame, I've owned a total of 6 of them now and every one one of them did it to some degree or another. One frame in particular that I could not eliminate the slight yawing motion on with either a WKM or Naza now flys fine...

Hi Chris, I had the same problem with one of my computers, the answer was to go to settings at the top right side of the screen and click there. When the new window opens go to My Account part way down on the left side of the screen and then click on General Settings, When that screen opens...

$450 is half the price of an AV130 and not that much less than the cost of a Nex 5 size brushless gimbal. Add the fact that P/H does not have a good history of supporting products, especially when things aren't going well, and I'll pass on this one. For $450 I can buy the motors and an ALexmos...
