Nice looking but a bit on the expensive side! I use a pair of the standard battery plates on my AD6 HL, one in front and the other behind the AV130 on the gear rails and the batteries I mount on the side rather than the wider flat. I find I can put a 4S 5000 in front and one behind, the AV130...

Not C/F but maybe something like this will work? http://www.shop.aglhobbiesllc.com/Frame-Spare-Parts/UAP1-Standard-FC-Plate.html or if you'd rather be able to drill it as needed... http://www.shop.aglhobbiesllc.com/Frame-Spare-Parts/UAP1-Universal-FC-Plate.html Otherwise it may be just as easy...

An F550 on 4s will fly a 5N with a small lens but it will be on the edge of what it's capable of. The stock motors are not quite powerful enough, a swap to something better would be a good idea if you're set on flying a 5N plus a decent gimbal. I have an MK Hexa V1 which is pretty much the same...

You can try increasing the yaw settings in the gyro screen by 20 on each setting and see if it helps. I had my FPV quad outside for a little night flying a while ago, winds blowing 15 + mph and it held altitude and position far better than I've ever seen an MK do before. Not only that the...

Over the weekend I finished building my MK FPV quad, replacing the Hoverfly Pro board that was most recently on that frame. Once I got it in the air and everything dialed in I swapped to the latest and greatest firmware to see what the difference is between the .82 version I've been using and...

Easy enough to make one if you can source the connectors locally, any ribbon cable with 10 or more strands will work you can pare it down to 10 and 6 if it has more. A couple 6 and 10 pin cable ends and a small vice and you're ready to make the cables for no more than a couple bucks at most. I...

No, not using an HDMI converter. As much as this may seem inconceivable to some, I don't use a through the camera view to line up shots. On the rare occasions I shoot stills I just set the GentLED to continuous mode and fly, I get plenty of good shots and always the one I'm looking for. It's not...

DJ shows how to do it on a 5N, the gethypoxic video shows the older NEX5 and unfortunately complete disassembly is the only way to get to the switch on the older NEX. On the 5N the entire top pops off giving easy access to the shutter switch so it's much less intimidating. That said I have no...

Anyone with the resources to own a RED will also have a insurance policy to cover anything that might happen to it and the rest of the gear they're using unless they have pockets deep enough to not care... Ken

What I have found to work the best on my CS6 is a set of DYS 30 amp ESCs reflashed with the fastPWM firmware. I have tried standard DYS along with Maytech V1, and I keep coming back to the reflashed ESCs. The biggest difference is apparent in the wind, the fastPWM firmware removes a lot of the...

On a Y6 with coaxial motors you may want to try different pitch props top and bottom to see if that helps. When I had an MK Y6 I had a mixer table setup to spin the top and bottom motors at different speeds, the lowers running approx 10% faster as I recall. I know from direct experience the WKM...

I see a bugfix release coming up very soon... ;) Ken

Gotta love it a clone DJI 450 frame, now the Chinese are ripping each other off! If current trends continue all quads will start to look exactly alike and cost $100 or less from any number of Chinese resellers... Ken

The Hyperion are overall better batteries than the Eflite packs that come with the mQX, they'll last a lot longer and they are of course less expensive. Beyond that they can charge at up to 5C vs the 2C max of the Eflite packs so you can get back in the air a lot quicker by not spending as much...

I've been chasing my dogs around the house with an mQX for a couple months now. If you want a real challenge, try flying it around inside the house backwards, nose in! Best batteries to use are Hyperions, you can buy 3 of them for around $15.00 on eBay or $5.95 each...

For a good complete setup that works any of the DJI kits with Naza controller are a good start. They're simple to build and come complete except for battery and radio gear and it would be hard to piece together an equal multi from off the shelf parts for less cash. Here's a little video from a...

I use mainly Graupner props, have been for a couple years now. I have yet to find another brand of props that is as well balanced right out of the package, the only downside is the limited choice of sizes for multirotor use, I don't know of any larger than 11 inch at the moment. APC thin...

An email popped up in my inbox today with a link to some small really low $ almost ready to fly quads... http://www.nitroplanes.com/newhelicopters.html I'm tempted to order one just to see how good a sub $200 quad is or is not. You get a choice of two different flight controllers one being the...

I had pretty much the same thing happen once on the first take off after I had transferred the WKM from one frame to another, it was on one of the older firmware versions. What firmware version are you currently using? I have not had a repeat since that one time so I assume it was either...
