If I were in the market right now for a radio to use with an MK I'd go with the Graupner MX-20 as a first choice with my current JR 11X as the second choice. Neither one is cheap, but more channels = more $, not much you can do about that... Ken

Then it worked. If you had been flying a flat hex you would have been picking up the pieces, or at the very least repairing some amount of damage, the hex would have flipped instantly on the loss of a motor/prop... DAMHIK... Ken

Maybe for you guys that live in the future, but not the case here! At least not for another 8 hours or so... ;) Ken

Well I almost got a chance to try the Click and Go today but the notoriously fickle New England weather had other ideas. I did go to the field and I did fly a bit, but the longer I was there the worse it got. I started with a warmup flight on one of my little aerobatic KK quads which as it...

I have a potential source for the original Plush firmware, if I get it and it works you're welcome to a copy to fix your 18A Plush ESC's. I also have some special hex files with different startup timing that is said to fix the problem as well, since I already have that I'll be trying it on the 6...

If you're referring to what the reflashed code is set to, the only way to know for certain is to look at the code itself. That said, someplace I have something that says what they're set to with the new code, just have to find it. Ken

If you've reflashed them the programming card no longer works, the settings are fixed in the code, if you haven't the Turnigy Plush or Hobbywing card will work on the DYS. Ken

I highly doubt that I could make the kind of $ I do at my regular job doing anything related to RC or multirotor. It's nice to have a regular paycheck large enough to pay the bills AND fund my RC addiction, can't even imagine what it would be like trying to make a living flying with the crazy...

Speaking of Click and Go, I'm heading to the field tomorrow with the CS6, now equipped with Click and Go, datalink, and ground station software. First time I hit the key on the netbook to make it go someplace it's going to be nearby and in a wide open field with no obstacles! I remember the...

Now that I have the small APV quad flying under a Naza controller, the next step of the project was to swap out the Mk stack on the Droidworx AD6 for the WKM I removed from the quad. Yesterday I spent the better part of the day performing the transplant surgery and just before dark I was able to...

Typing at the same time I see... ;) Ken

If you read the product notes document it will tell you exactly what changes were made, it's posted on the website at the top of the WKM sectiopn where you find the rest of the software downloads. In this case they fixed the "Intelligent" mode for motor arming so if you go below 10% you can...

Hobbywing ESC FYI, Hobbywing ESC is also Turnigy Plush, DYS, Exceed Proton, and a few others I can't remember at the moment. They are virtually the same exact ESC under the shrink wrap and although there may be minor variations in the firmware, if it can be programmed with the Hobbywing or...

Do you have a cyclic ring installed on the TX or anything that would prevent either of the sticks from moving through the full range of travel, especially to the corners? The problem is that the WKM is not seeing full travel on one or both sticks and consequently not arming the motors. Ken

Yes, I'm using a Spektrum 6 channel park flyer RX on my F 450 and it works fine. If you'll be using a camera gimbal with it you way want the extra channels but 5 is all you need for basic flight. Ken

The pack from the 20:31 flight was at 11% when I connected it to the charger, so not as bad as I thought. I think if I tweaked the voltages for second level 30 minutes might just be possible with the pair of 3S 5000s right off the charger, or maybe in somewhat warmer temps. Maybe it's time for a...

Today I lowered the threshold for both first and second level voltage monitoring by .2 volts each, charged up one of the 3S 5000 packs and this time I got 20 minutes and 31 seconds before autoland with the outside temp right around freezing. Haven't put the pack on the charger yet to see how far...

MK Hexa V1, standard MK Hisight II mount, GoPro held on mount with rubber bands. Considering it was windy and how I was flying it I'd say this is pretty stable video and the flight is anything but slow... It could be made a lot steadier than this and still flown the same way, it's all in...

As is the packs are at 90% discharge, I won't take them all the way down to 9.9 as they tend to die rather rapidly if you do that on a regular basis. I think a pair of 3S 6000 pushing them to the same 90% discharge will get to the 30 minute mark. In any case it was more an exercise in seeing...

Just to put things into perspective, I just came in from flying my DJI F450 for 28 minutes and 9 seconds before low voltage monitoring forced a landing. That's a small quad with fairly efficient motors, takeoff weight of 1653 grams, carrying a pair of 3S 5000 35C packs. With just one pack I was...
