I have an original 330X and they can be cranky at times. As Bowley mentioned make doubly sure that each motor is connected to the correct port on the GU 344 and that each motor is spinning in the correct direction as well as making sure it has the correct propeller installed. Most of the...

The best reason to build yourself is the ability to fix it when something goes wrong or rebuild it after a crash. A lot of the decision depends on how comfortable you are with a project of that magnitude vs. how deep are your pockets to just pay someone to do it all for you and that includes...

My $.02 on why I won't be buying either the S800 or Zenmuse... I'm not a big fan of closed source systems which is essentially what DJI is turning out to be, they keep the software locked up on their servers and many of the bits on the S800 are unique to it beyond just the frame itself, i.e...

There are a number of folks that are using the Plettenberg motors, those shouldn't be a problem. The speed controllers are another matter, it would depend on the flight controller in use, but for the most part any controller optimized for use on RC helis, cars, or other applications that require...

The 13 inch won't fit unless you specifcally got the longer arms when you bought the kit, standard issue AD-6 kits will do 12 inch props max. On my AD6 with Pulso 2814 motors I use Graupner 11 x 5 while carrying an AV130 and a pair of 4S 5000 packs and it works fine. I've used 12 x 3.8 and it...

Mk uses I2C speed controllers so the only way you could do it would be with an I2C to PWM convertor. The convertor boards aren't expensive but it's been my experience that they aren't a perfect solution, tends to be some wobble and instability unless you're using reflashed PWM ESCs. I use the...

Some of the main reasons why I prefer MK hardware for FPV, the DJI WKM would work just as well. With altitude hold you can get to a "safe" altitude and stay there, in my case a safe altitude is above the tree tops so there's nothing I can run into because I didn't "see" it. GPS position hold...

On both of my setups I did a firmware upgrade on the Navi and F/C and did a reload on the Mag board as well. From there I did a reset of all parameters in MKtool, recalibrated the compass then did the acceleromter calibration, once all that was done I did an initial test flight to see if...

The thing I don't get is why the Plettenberg motors use collet style prop adaptors, I'd much rather a bolt-on style like all of the other heavy lift/high end motors. To me, making a high end hand built motor and then using a slide on collet adaptor makes no sense and actually seems like cheaping...

One of these, it's a pretty good little camera, I prefer it to the view through either of my GoPro. http://hobbywireless.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=6&products_id=12 I have two more video TX currently not being used, I'm going to pick up another set of Bluebeam antennas and...

This was the first time out for the little hexa with the D/W landing gear, AV130, and firmware .88, it did really well in the windy conditions. I have pretty much default settings except for the camera gimbal, also trying out the servo filtering on the gimbal which seems to help a bit. Here's...

Yesterday my newly built Mk FPV quad got it's first outing at the flying field where I could actually fly it with the goggles rather than just hover it in my backyard in altitude hold and GPS position hold. Unfortunately by the time I got to the field and got everything setup the wind had come...

Picture of both MK at the field yesterday... Heva V1 with Droidworx landing gear and Photohigher AV130 on the left and my new FPV quad at the right. Ken

Just back from an outing to the big flying field with my MK hexa and MK FPV quad. Wind picked up a lot right after I arrived and I have to say the A/H and P/H are substantially better in the strong wind than with any other release I've used. Come home accuracy seems to be improved as well, I...

Something isn't right there, on both Naza I have I've used gimbals getting power from the controller with 4S packs and never had a problem with a fried servo. I'm now running all my gimbal power off CC BECs but never had an issue when I wasn't other than the compensation being slow due to lower...

If you want the full FPV experience the Fatsharks are one of the better setups, not really what you want or need for just lining up a shot. I had a set of the MyVu, they did work for getting the camera point of view but were completely useless for FPV because they let in too much light making it...

The way to go is with the Fatshark Dominator goggles with built in RX, problem is good luck finding them in stock anywhere! Probably the hottest item in FPV gear at the moment they sell out literally as soon as they appear in stock on most any web store. My current setup is a camera tripod that...

Looks good! Are you getting video feed from the same camera that did the recording or do you have a separate cam for that? I just did the first test flight of my MK FPV quad using the Bluebeam whip antenna setup and GoPro with Sunex lens as video feed, a huge improvement over the old stick...

The highest quality motors available comparable to the 3638 are the AXI 2814-22, not the cheapest but certainly one of the best, I use them on my Cinestar 6. Ken

Nice looking landing gear setup, would work well on a lot of frames besides just the F550. Ken
