    Adjusting AV130

    I have the new batch of AV130's. And I am trying it out on an Xaircraft based hex. The software allows you to adjust gains, low/mid/high range for gimbal. So when I try to level it I am adjusting the mid number which makes it move but not enough to get it level. So my question is, do you...

    Wookong: May this sky no longer block my sight

    That was interesting to read. Thanks. I was curious what the name was in reference to. So basically it is a Heavy-lift monkey.

    XAircraft How is your value series flying?

    I think that was the penny they saved by making the props cheaper. Kidding. :) I finally got my XA based hex up and it flies amazingly well with the exception of YAW induced altitude change. i am sure this can be fixed with some setting change.

    CS8 to X8 conversion - Herkules ESC III V3

    10+ pages of how to solder and configure the ESC! Maybe it's not as complex as it looks. Nice to see a step forward like this though. I am sure every bit of confidence is worth it.

    ESC's overloading USB port?

    Using Xaircraft FC, when all 6 of my 30 amp ESC's are plugged in and I put the USB cable in, the computer gives me a message saying port is overloaded. Nothing else being used other than the FC on the computer. When I disconnect all the ESC's it is fine, and so far the only way to log on. Has...

    Gopro lens

    Am I the only one who bought the Ragecams 6mm lens instead of the Sunex? Honestly i am not that thrilled with it. It seems the image is not as sharp as the standard lens. You also have to focus it very carefully, unlike the stock lens which is so wide angle you dont have to worry about it. I...

    Uncontrolled yaw on my Xaircraft X650 V4 with compass and gps

    most likely the stock configs dont need this touched. but on the first window pane where it says profile, you double click on it and you will see the mixer. I think had the issue because I am using a non conventional configuration for their FC. Although, if they are going to go through the...

    XAircraft How is your value series flying?

    Here are some facts/opinions: I have only owned an Xaircraft but I can confidently say it has to be the most durable multi out there. It is very well thought out and flies pretty damn well with no soldering. The downsides are that they have proprietary props which i think many will find a...

    XAircraft How is your value series flying?

    Well, aside from props, mine flew perfectly right out of the box. It flew so well I decided to try their FC for my custom. The key word here is QC. It would seem from a years worth of forum reading that NONE of these units are 100% guaranteed to work. I don't know how much is pilot error or...

    Uncontrolled yaw on my Xaircraft X650 V4 with compass and gps

    Per my own recommendations I went through the mixer settings and fixed it up. This morning was a little too windy to be flying but I had to know if it worked. IT DOES! that fixed the problem almost entirely. BUT, of course there's a but, when I landed it one of the motors started making this...

    Uncontrolled yaw on my Xaircraft X650 V4 with compass and gps

    One thing I just discovered worth mentioning is to check your mixer settings yourself. I am using the Xaircraft FC for a custom hex but in the mixer settings the pre-config was WAY off. Check out this link and go through it yourself. Any of those numbers off will definitely mess things up...

    XAircraft Balancing props for new XAircraft motors

    Most people use standard scotch tape, not electrical tape. That stuff is pretty thick and heavy. normally the scotch is more than enough.

    testing while holding craft on ground

    http://www.xaircraft.com/wiki/FC1212-S_Motor_Mixer(en) after studying this page a bit I am starting to see how it works. I am pretty sure the mixer is wrong!

    testing while holding craft on ground

    well, i guess that the good part is that it is pretty consistently crashing to the right. I wish i understood the mixer better. I dont really understand why some ESC's are 100,0 or -100. Logically speaking, without knowing anything here, I would assume that they should alternate between 100...

    testing while holding craft on ground

    Are you saying to revert back? Why would they release 1.32 and then 1.33 if neither of them worked? but I am open to trying anything at this point. Thanks for the tip.

    Ok, this is very weird. Are DJI and Xaircraft the same?

    OK, on that note, i would not feel comfortable buying an american made FC that came from a company that specialized in making plastic toys. It's no different. The company makes plastic toys. Don't you feel a little unsettled that such a high tech piece of electronics comes from a plant that...

    testing while holding craft on ground

    I know what it feels like to have ground effect and to have smooth flight above 3'. There is clearly something wrong. Yaw doesnt really make sense. The unit should not initially push that hard in any direction at all. On the previous craft, if i just gave it gas it would lift pretty...
