    Cinestar 6 + YS-X6 flight controller

    Recently I've been testing the ZeroUAV YS-X6 flight controller, a system similar to the WKM but with a better range of tuning parameters to work with. So far it has worked as advertised and has some interesting features that I think would make it well suited to APV use. Since I haven't seen...

    Why cant I bring myself to buy Turnigy Plush esc's?

    The Maytech and Blue are exactly the same in all regards, as to whether or not they are made in the same plant I would have to say they are designed and manufactured by the same company, everything is identical when you put one next to the other, actual location of manufacture may differ. I have...

    Anyone want to bet the official DJI price for the S800 comes way down soon? I'm thinking it will in the not too far off future... Ken

    Why cant I bring myself to buy Turnigy Plush esc's?

    Here's helpful hint regarding the Maytech V1 ESCs, they are EXACTLY the same hardware under the shrinkwrap as the Hobbyking Blue Series ESCs which are 1/3 the price. Not the Mystery Blue, but the original Blue Series which they still sell, list price is $9 and some change as I recall for the...

    Already been cloned by the look of things, or blatantly ripped off design, either way you can buy it for $999.99 instead of the DJI list price of $1900 +... http://rctimer.com/index.php?gOo=goods_details.dwt&goodsid=722&productname= If it's an OEM from DJI they just screwed everyone that has...

    Props--- what brands work?

    The newer kits are supposed to have updated props that are stronger than the original versions with bigger hubs. That said I still wouldn't trust them on anything other than a bone stock kit with no payload and maybe not even then, I've seen the stockers come apart in flight more than once on...

    Mikrokopter MK Firmware 0.88 online now

    As a part of every MK firmware upgrade I do I reload the firmware on ALL of the boards in the stack and zero everything back to default. After that I redo both the accelerometer and compass calibrations, both my Hexa and FPV quad fly great and have WKM like GPS position hold. I had a GoPro under...

    Mikrokopter MK Firmware 0.88 online now

    I've never seen a list of bugs that were fixed beyond maybe a passing mention in what passes for release notes with each new version and then only if it was severe and it affected everyone. In the two plus years I've been flying MKs I've only ever had two crashes that I could not pinpoint the...

    YS-X6 flight controller

    I'm not sure they've finalized exactly what the limit on the free version will be but as of right now it's 4 waypoints at a maximum of 100 meters. With the upgrade to the Enterprise license there is no distance limit that I know of at the moment but definitve information is hard to come by as...

    YS-X6 flight controller

    Absolutely it can, the thing about the wifi setup is not only can it be used to control the craft but the biggest advantage to me is being able to land and in a matter of less than a minute change any controller parameter that I need to using my Android phone and be back in the air without ever...

    YS-X6 flight controller

    I'll be able to do that soon, I want to move the YS to my Droidworx AD6 frame with Photohigher AV130 so I can get a good idea of wind stability from the camera point of view. Certainly the YS appears to have what it takes to equal the MK and it is a lot more "tunable" than the WKM, the YS has...

    YS-X6 flight controller

    I all I know at this point is the rumored price for a fully unlocked system license is $1000 US. While that may seem expensive, compared to what DJI charges for unlimited waypoint capability and also considering what MK charges for the extended distance licenses for their Navi board, $1000 is a...

    YS-X6 flight controller

    Some pics of the testbed mule... Since these were taken I've put the GPS back up on the mast that came in the kit, doesn't really seem to make much difference mounted directly to the top center plate or on the mast so I would have to say either the YS GPS is much better shielded than the...

    Mikrokopter MK Guidance

    Correct, you would need the Quad PDB and 4 BL controllers. Depending on how much you plan to lift and the motors to be used you might be able to use the less expensive BL 1.2 which are still available. The basic difference is the 1.2 versions are equivalent to about a 15 amp ESC and the 2.0 are...

    flying indoors

    As long as you don't try to use GPS mode indoors you'll be fine. So far everything I've owned with GPS will fly normally without it,connected or not. Ken
