Pesonally I'd just use a battery backpack to keep the excess wiring to a minimum. You'll find the Disco needs a bit of extra weight at the front end to get the correct balance especially if you're stuffing a heavy battery in the back as I do, adding the backpack makes it easier to get that right...

The TBS core will power any FPV transmitter as long as it's 1000 mw (1 watt) or less, the core is only rated to that power level. I don't see any reason why the core wouldn't power a GoPro as long as you have the jumper set to the correct voltage (5V). As for ESCs, I can't say about the TBS...

I'm using old and battered GoPro on two of my FPV quads as the pilot cam and recording at the same time and also displaying OSD data, works fine. On the one that gets the most use I added a battery backpack, effectively doubling the battery life so concerns about running out of battery power are...

Finally got a layer lens for the Hero3, flew it for the first time today on the Disco using 1080P wide mode. Video looks amazing on my 22 inch flatscreen monitor, good considering the conditions at the field were not ideal. At around 1:45 in I flew down to the end of the field and when I turned...

Yes, the programming options are exactly the same, they use the same programming card, and the instuction manuals are the same only with different company names. The blues come with very thin heatshrink the Maytech with thick which accounts for most of the height difference, weight differences...

I'm flying a Talon Tri using the KK2.0 with autoleveling, I have to say for the price it's hard to beat the new KK for a basic flight controller and it does fly really well on the 1.4 and 1.5 firmware. One thing to do for the tail motor pivot is get a blade grip thrust bearing for a Trex 450 and...

Yes, FPV is the next stage of the addiction, just ask my wife! From there the only place to go is here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4Z7M4bPfHk ;) Ken

The local hobby shop stocks it in a bunch of different sizes, I use 5mm tube on the F450 and the F330 in the picture has 3mm, both very light and very strong. Ken

I've been doing a similar setup to my F frames for a while now using carbon fiber tube with a core of solid carbon fiber rod superglued inside. To date I have yet to break one, they always pop the tywraps in crashes and I just tie it back on afterward... Ken

The Maytech will work either way, 8 or 16kHz. In the standard 8kHz mode they're no better than any other out of the package PWM ESC, bumping the refresh rate to 16k helps because you're doubling the rate, SimonK firmware puts the ESC into 16k mode as the default setting among other things like...

Civilian GPS is generally acknowledged to be accurate to +/- 3 meters, all of my MK hold within that range. Ken

FWIW, I took mine out for some APV work over the Christmas holiday using the 1.5 beta firmware only to find it wouldn't hold a level horizon on slow pans done by rotating the entire Cinestar vs. using a pan setup on the gimbal. After three unsuccessful sessions at different locations I came back...

That was before I had a Blue in my hands and was able to open it up and verify they are the same thing. Whichever Chinese factory makes the Blue Series for HK also makes them for Maytech along with writing the firmware. There aren't that may operations that actually design and build ESCs though...

Instead of spending the $$ for the Maytech, order a set of these instead for $10.47 each http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__13429__HobbyKing_30A_BlueSeries_Brushless_Speed_Controller.html If you want 40A go with this one for $18.33 each...

The Megapirate code is a port of the APM code for non APM multiwii boards, functionally the same but not interchangeable. You can' t run APM code on the Crius and the Megapirate code won't run on APM due to hardware differences. I have the RCTimer version of APM 2.5, less expensive than the...

Nice support from the vendor...:rolleyes: Actually he's wrong, they're easy to program, difficult to tune (at times). The only other possibility is the Multiwii software is configured incorrectly in the config.h file, either the wrong board type or an sensor is defined that isn't what is on the...

I've used and still have sets of all three. The T/E are quieter than the S/F and much stiffer due to that large hub and thick blade root, you'll find they fly a lot like Graupners with just enough flex to make them not as harsh on quick stick movements. I'll only use the slow fly when it's all I...

That is very unusual for RMRC, I've had nothing but great service from them and so have a lot of other people. I know they were a bit short staffed over the holidays, you may want to contact them directly and ask about the order status they're very good about taking care of any issues that...

The APC thin electrics are much better props than their slow fly version and you are correct that they have a very similar profile to Graupners. I currently have 12 x 6 T/E props on my Cinestar and also use the 8 and 9 inch versions on my QAV500 and TBS Discovery FPV quads, less expensive than...

The RX can certainly do that, I have an EZUHF that is doing the same thing on every multi I put it on so I can only assume it's a problem with the RX as it happens on both a DJI Naza and a Quadrino Multiwii. Having the P value for altitude too high can also cause it as well as not having the...
