    DJI reduced price on data link

    It should be very quick, I'd be pestering the dealer to get the number from DJI since it only takes them a matter of minutes to generate the license code. Ken

    kloners TBS Discovery

    I ordered the same pieces, TBS is waiting on delivery of the new batch of cores before it will ship. I've already received some of the other goodies that will be going into this build, EZUHF and RMRC 1.3 gHZ video system with Bluebeam antennas. I was very surprised at how much bigger the 1.3...

    Show us your FPV Multicopter

    The little F330 is proving to be an outstanding FPV quad. I spent a good 5 hours out flying it yesterday morning and I'm starting to get confident enough to do things I wouldn't have dreamed of with any of the other FPV multis I've had. By the end of the day I was flying it into the edge of the...

    Photohigher RSGS Skyline Owners thread

    A standalone RX isn't necessary, you can connect the Skyline to the same RX used to fly the multi if you have open channels. Ken

    FPV camera location?

    I have both fixed and gimbal mounted cams. A stabilized mount can be used but really doesn't give you good idea of the angle of the multi in relation to the ground. On my MK FPV quad I use a GoPro for the video feed and I have it mounted on a two axis gimbal with the roll stabilization disabled...

    FPV setup. What to use??? To many numbers, not enough knowlegde.

    If you're just starting out then Spektrum with 5.8 will work fine for now. Sunday I was out flying and got out to over 1900 feet horizintally and 360 feet vertically with perfectly clear video and no loss of signal on the Spektrum side of things. I will say that's pushing close to the limit for...

    What 5.8 channel do you use?

    I never knew the IBCrazy cloverleafs were built for a specific channel, I always though they covered a range of frequencys and indeed they would have to to work with any TX on the market. This past weekend I was easily getting clear video out to 1900 feet on channel 1 on my Immersion 5.8 using...

    Here's the long distance flight with the Mk quad. The distance from takeoff is at the top of the lefthand column on the OSD, the first pass out to the edge of the field I was about 1750 feet, the next time I kept going, staying over the access road and the final tunaround was at about 1938 feet...

    I did notice on one flight with the F330 that the RX was blinking when it came back, so yeah it's right out there at the edge I think. Can't see the little thing that far out with the naked eye, if the video link dropped and RTH didn't work I'd have to get in the car and go find/get it... ;) At...

    Had a great day FPV-ing yesterday at the field, got roughly 1 1/2 hours total flight time between my DJI F330, F450 and Mk quad. With the MK quad I was able to set a personal best for distance at almost 2000 feet out, OSD reported around 1940 from takeoff point. I was a bit surprised to find...

    DJI reduced price on data link

    I'd have to say the price drop is in response to the pricing of the YS-X6 datalink @ $200. Now that DJI has some competition from a home market company with a very similar product they can no longer get away with charging whatever they like for their goods. So far the fact they ZeroUAV is...

    Batteries for dji f450

    Then you're paying extra $ for a capacity you don't need. The C rating of the battery has no real relation to the amp rating of the ESCs on a multi due to the fact that you have 4/6/8 motors and ESCs so the power need is dependant more on the cumulative draw of the motors you're using along with...

    Photohigher RSGS Skyline Owners thread

    No, I don't use a separate battery for the Skyline/gimbal servos, I have a BEC that taps power from the main distribution board and then limits it to 6 volts. I see no reason to have an indepent battery unless the gimbal is tied to an indepent RX plus I have ample power from the main pack which...

    Mikrokopter Can Mikrokopter FlightCtrl run a 2 axis gimbal directly?

    If you do that and have only the control signal coming from the F/C which is powered from a completely independent power source, you really should have a common ground between the two battery packs. There is no way for the servo to accurately reference the voltage level of the control signal...

    Photohigher RSGS Skyline Owners thread

    On the AV130 the Skyline goes on the side opposite the tilt servo. You can leave the pots in place but they must be disconnected from the servos. Note that with the AV130 you must connect to the setup program before the Skyline fully powers up and set both servos to reverse, failure to do that...

    Batteries for dji f450

    I wouldn't go any lower than 20C. I have 20 and 30C packs that I use on my F450 with full FPV gear and Graupner 10 x 5 props, no problems with either rating. Ken

    I recently put a set of these on my MK FPV quad when I rebuilt it from a hard crash... http://montorc.com/ipower2217-9880kv.aspx Using them with Graupner 11 x 5 props and 4S 5000 packs, they run nice and cool even on a 90 degree day. Thing I like most about them is the 4mm shaft, takes a lot...

    Mikrokopter Can Mikrokopter FlightCtrl run a 2 axis gimbal directly?

    Any decently made BEC will work provided it has enough amperage to power the servos at maximum draw. The MK flight controller uses a Recomm on the servo power circuit that is rated at 1 to 1.5 amps maximum, most middle to high end digital servos are capable of drawing 2 to 3 times that at full...

    Batteries for dji f450

    I have 6 of the packs you returned to HK, I use them on both my F450 and F330 and they work great, 10 plus minutes of flight time on either quad. I use both setups for FPV so my main concern was maximizing time in the air, these packs are perfect for that. Just to see how far I could stretch it...
