    Yes, the white one is a Spectra G gasser and the next one in is a Xcell Fury 60. The Spectra G I sold to build my Droidworx AD6, the Fury I still have. After that picture was taken I added a Century Radikal G20 gasser which I still have along with the Titan 50, Trex 450, and a couple of the...

    Team Blacksheep Discovery build

    I have two Disco, one with DJI motors and ESCs using the TBS69 camera and the core with OSD turned on. The other uses iPower 2217Q motors with reflashed 30A ESCs and full Immersion gear, EZOSD with 600mw VTX, no core. Both have Naza flight controllers with GPS and currently both are flying on...

    Tricopter Frame Kits?

    Last night I finished wiring up the Talon Tri and gave it a go by street light in the front yard. First time I've ever flown a Tri and I have to say it's quite different than a standard quad or hex. To fly it reminds me a bit of a single rotor heli combined with a bit of airplane and multirotor...

    I have in fact used that line before! ;) Ken

    Prior to my first dose of multirotor this is how I spent my free time... ...and before that a little of this... ...once RC gets in the blood it's impossible to cure! These days I find nothing better than a good day at the field doing FPV with a good set of video goggles, nothing else...

    Photohigher skyline rsgs

    Mine works well with position gains in 80 to 120 range and velocity gains in the 60 to 80 range. I'd have to connect to verify but I think right now the tilt position is around 90 and roll 110 with tilt velocity at 60 and roll velocity at 70 or 80. Pan is not in use and the integrals are all at...

    Flight Controllers; The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

    Thing is it had a number of successful flights prior to the flip and no changes were made to the setup between the last flight and the flip. The only thing that did happen was the CS sat on the shelf for a couple of weeks without being powered up, I installed the RSGS on the AV130 using an...

    Flight Controllers; The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

    I have both and have flown both on a Cinestar frame. The Zero system is more flexible when it comes to tuning ability and it will work well with larger props that the DJI WKM will not. Their major shortcoming is as mentioned, documentation and user interface, the system simply isn't as polished...

    Flight Controllers; The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

    But that is exactly what exists, the only American made flight controller is closed source to the point the only place the firmware can be obtained from is their servers and only when downloading directly to the board, no way to save a copy locally, it doesn't get much more closed than that. To...

    Flight Controllers; The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

    If you search this forum you may find exactly that, I do believe I've posted it here before and if not I have on RCG. I could type it up again but to include all of the systems I currently own or have owned would take a couple hours that I don't have to spare at the moment. Briefly I see it like...

    Flight Controllers; The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

    Well Bart that just hasn't been my experience. I wouldn't call it a personal grudge so much as I've tried every firmware version from the very first to the very lastest on the H/F Pro board I have and I'm just not seeing it, the truth from my end, plain and simple. I've tried it on just about...

    Flight Controllers; The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

    I just have to laugh everytime I read that sentence from whatever source, pay a premium price for a board with advanced features but only able to say it flies great in manual mode. Oddly so does my KK 2.0 with the latest firmware and it's about $400 less expensive, seriously... The best thing...

    GoPro 3

    I've been working with both. IMO standard works fine for any non-commercial use, much better than my older HD Heros. Protune does need to be run through post of some form, I use the GoPro Cineform app and apply the Protune preset to get the end result. Don't see the need for it outside of...

    Photohigher skyline rsgs

    I have the tilt setup on a slider. In this case I wanted to get a straight down view and then go back to forward facing, I can stop it anywhere in between. The reason its so fast is I have the setup dialed in for a Nex 5N with the 18 - 55 kit lens, the GoPro Hero3 even with the plastic case is...

    Here's a good illustration of the RSGS working. This was a test flight I did with the new GoPro Hero3 in 1440/48fps mode on my Cinestar 6 with AV130 and RSGS. The wide view of the Hero3 puts a large part of the frame in view so you can really see how much the frame is moving vs. the camera...

    GoPro 3

    Because their "free" service is file size and data quantity limited, to be able to upload whatever you want whenever you want you have to pay. Youtube on the other hand is free for the end user and not limited, at least for the time being. Being the cheap arsed SOB that I am I can deal with the...

    Tricopter Frame Kits?

    The HK Talon tricopter kit finally arrived today, took me a bit over an hour to assemble it taking my time. Darn good setup for the price, now I have to rummage through the parts bins and see what I can come up with to outfit it with. I'm undecided if I want to use a KK 2.0 board or one of the...

    GoPro 3

    Other than the size difference, the Hero 3 being significantly thinner front to back than the Hero 2 and previous, the only other feature you get with the Black edition over the Hero 2 besides the resolution additions is the built in wifi on the 3. I haven't tested the range on it yet, the nice...

    GoPro 3

    All my other GoPros are the original HD Hero series so the cabling is compeletely different from those, don't own a Hero 2 so I can't say what the difference is from that. Ken

    Yes, GP3 Black edition. 1080P 60fps is super smooth panning, I've yet to try 720P @ 120fps... Ken
