I'm on board with staying away from MK on principle. I will only resort to Mk if my new Xaircraft v8 fails miserably. I will then move back over to a single rotor heli. If that fails, I may throw in the towel completely on AP or MAYBE go the MK. I dont like feeling taken advantage of. When...

there is also the cheapo but tried and true version. http://www.rc-fever.com/skywalker-epo-glider-kit-best-for-fpv-p-12018.html

This topic gives me a forum boner! If my damn xaircraft doesnt come in this week i am probably going to go to the trex 700 as well. It seems this is an unperfected hobby that you have to really enjoy messing around with to get a few good flights out of. One person put it best. "helicopters...

You guys are making me nervous again. I still dont even have mine. traded in the Futaba for a JR in anticipation of ending up with an MK. The good news is that I am building up clients without even having a heli. Go figure, how did that happen? So Chris, resident x650 dude, WTF happened...

Congrats Chris!! You made the front page. http://xaircraftusa.com/

Because the angle between the legs is greater making it less likely to capture a prop in your shot.

The Panasonic 900 you are referring to is the tm900, right? This would be great info to have asap as i was just about to order this. After trying one in my hand I was pretty sure the unit would be ideal for AV. But if you are saying the OIS is too much then I am all ears. Do tell more.

Please show some flying shots from the HFP. Im all for discovering the new MK. I find it hard to give in to them for some reason. Im all a mac guy too. I had to salvage my wifes old pc just for my helicopter. Ick.

"operate for up to 70 minutes!?" I think the news guys are getting some misleading info on these drones. No way that can stay aloft for that long.

That would be hard to argue with, agreed. But in respects to the efficiency loss from using multiple motors as to one motor was more my question.

You are giving me ideas. When i was trying to make a cable cam (pre-heli days) I had a similar idea of making a simple gyro under the camera that would just add enough inertia to smooth out motion. The camera would hang from a universal joint and be free floating. I like this idea for making...

Why is there that much efficiency loss with Coaxials? Is it that much better in a octo configuration?

After posting this I thought of that factor as well. It would make sense. Oh well. then the question is, would a very reliable quad with monster motors be any different than an octo with the same lift capacity? I think a quad could still obtain enough lift using small enough high pitch...

It has been said that single rotor helis are more efficient due to the fact they have only 1 motor and ESC. It has also been mentioned by someone that their quad was way more stable than their octo. The reason to have more motors is usually redundancy and payload. But what if at the end of...

I have never flown a multi rotor heli yet. But, it seems that one approach is to be minimalistic. I like the Y6 the most assuming it is as stable. Someone on here claimed their quad was more stable than the octo. If this is true then maybe a Y or quad would be better with some really...

The t3i has the flip out lcd, audio gain, wireless flash transmitter, and digital zoom in video. I have been waiting for a spot to throw this in the camera loop. I recently tried out a friend's panasonic tm90. At first I was amazed at how small it was. it does 1080 60p! And above all else...

Xaircraft should give you a free unit for making the first "nice" video using the product. I'll be chiming in on this in about 2 weeks. Nice work!

I dug this up, perhaps it can be reposted if this is not a good place for it. Applies more for general assembly procedures. http://www.nghobbies.com/cart/datasheet/MK%20assembly.pdf

I am curious, when you incur a serious problem like this, what happens when you ask Mikrokopter directly? Just wondering how easy it is to get info from the horses mouth.
