But can it do this?

I'm not going to be using them anymore due to lack of customer support, but I have had great luck with my Xaircraft controller. I dont have the GPS though so i can't tell you if that really works or not.

1.simulator 2.guai or xaircraft 3.add a gopro and realize the complexities of getting smooth video. 4.decide how to get around FAA issues 5.start building a real AV platform as you are honing in your skills. in that order more or less.

Gopro 1080 footage is only ideal because of it's narrower FOV. You really want the 60fps if you can use the 720p mode. I bought a Ragecams 6mm lens and i am not happy with it. Not sure if there is a defect or not but it requires constant manual focusing and the image is no where as crisp as...

I wondered that as well. I wonder if my video is massively better now due to the mount itself. Im using the AV130.

I hope the FAA issues arent going to spur a huge sell off. Let's stick with it until we are in jail together.

that would be the first mac virus I have heard of. Sorry to hear that. And i dont think the Gopro 1 does 120fps. The gopro 2 does but in some unheard of crappy resolution. Isn't rolling shutter what causes the jello? In short CMOS sensors read from top to bottom( or other way around, cant...

they have sport watches with them built in. I have surfing friends who are always showing their path on the water. they plug it into the pc and it overlays on google earth.

This is a great time for the community to get together instead of pointing fingers. I kite surf and for some reason windsurfers, surfers and kite surfers all hate each other for the most part. But as soon as our beaches are threatened to be shut down we all realize we are all enjoying the same...

Maybe it's counter-intuitive, but is there any reason the craft would be less stable in the pitch cyclic due to the decreased spacing from motor centers? For some reason in my mind, I pictured it wobbling more in the pitch than the roll.

Absolutely. Higher frame rates will show less jelloing. But you normally cant get rid of all of it just by increasing the frame rate. Better to isolate it all together. Good luck! it aint easy. I dont know what i did to get my video so perfect so i cant really help. Perhaps mass is the key.

Yes, the huge spark is supposedly normal. You would think they would make a soft start or a switch. But that's just how it is and apparently safe.

I have noticed odd inconsistencies in my motors as well. They work fine and my video is solid but I wonder if it is temperature change that affects the tight tolerances? It changes from day to day.

there are basically 2 approaches to this problem. 1) add mass, lots of it. 2) get rid of the vibration completely starting with balancing props. The gopro and other cheap CMOS chips will always show the rolling shutter more than higher end cameras. But i can say since I went to a larger...

Have you tried counseling? Sometimes being overly controlling is not healthy. Kidding. On a serious note. The only thing I can think of is you are using XP and need to download a special usb driver. This is actually hidden on the disk from what I hear but you can go to the downloads page...

Now I have completely removed the insulation on my esc's. I am thinking of putting Liquid electrical tape on the non heat sink side to protect it a bit. Any bad experiences doing this for some odd reason?

Who comes up with this stuff? How about next contest is best explosion from high speed impact into a wall.

I dont sorry. It was nice with my electric model as I could fly up high, then kill the throttle so the attitude was stable, then just glide down. No power needed. Was very comforting in comparison to having $5k in one of these multis. And hands off they would inherently fly straight and...

I need to find a way to increase the range of mine. They also dont work in direct sunlight either, it messes with the IR. Any ideas on how to FPV, increase range to this thing? Kidding. it is pretty cool though. I got one for the nephews for Xmas.
