Here's a good example of the stability of the WKM in autolevel mode with vario altitude control. Completely raw unaltered video uploaded directly to Youtube from the GoPro memory card, plus there's no roll compensation on the mount due to the roll servo seizing up when it died yesterday, only...

I've been all the way up to 500% on the gain and still not eliminated the wobble. I backed it down to 410 and it's OK but the Droidworx/MK AD6 is much smoother in the wind, to bad its so much less stable than the WKM in vario A/H and autolevel. I did a couple quick test flights with the AD6...

I'll let you know a little later today, I'm charging a battery for the Droidworx/MK AD6 right now. I know the biggest difference is the Mk doesn't fight the wind as much, rather it tends to "float" on it with the frame staying a lot steadier while moving around a lot more on the horizontal plane...

I've had a few days to get the newly configured flat hex setup and work on the gain settings, the result being that the wobble I noticed with the Y6 is also there with the flat hex leading me to the conclusion its the controller not the frame. I also found out the gain settings can go a lot...

Three things that worked for me learning nose-in, first get a cheap but sturdy quad that can take abuse, it will get plenty of that before everything clicks. Second, when it's facing you nose-in remember to "follow" it with the stick, so if it starts moving to the right then move the alieron...

It's actually a bit puzzling because as part of the last firmware release they implemented autolanding as part of the POI/waypoint upgrade and it does work there so maybe they just haven't fully implemented it for RTH yet. Or maybe they did and its a bit buggy still, not that MK firmware would...

No, I don't think so. In the rebuild to flat hexa I added another battery bracket so I can double up the 5000mah packs and also added a bit of weight with three more arms plus associated hardware. It definitely feels heavier when I pick it up having two batteries hung under it and the gain...

Here's all of the bits... The IMU should be stuck down with double sided tape as well as the GPS pod on the top of its mast, they provide a few bits of tape with the kit but I think those are intended for the GPS more than the IMU. I use servo tape on the IMU and that seems, to work fine...

Right now I'm a bit over 300% on roll and pitch, 280% on Yaw, and 200 on altitude. I also have the two advanced settings turned up to 150% and 130%. From what I see in the GoPro video from the last flight I need to back down the pitch gain a bit and probably the advanced settings as well. I...

Yeah, I think it's pretty darn good for a V1.0 product, took me many months of tinkering with the MK Hexa to get the same results I managed to produce in less than a week with the DJI. I think once they get some feedback and continue to refine the software it will only get better. I know I can...

There are substantial differences in the new AV130 vs. the older versions, I have both. The newer 130 has Savox servos instead of the Hyperion servos that came on the previous version and as result of that change there is also a difference in the gear ratio on the roll axis as well as some...

Haven't a clue but I would guess it's a duplex TX/RX setup much like the Jeti box add-on only integrated into the system. Ken

I had exactly the same issues and then some with the H/F Pro board and that's one of the reasons why it's gathering dust on the shelf now. The icing on the cake was when I went out back for a test flight with it on the newly built Y6 frame and as soon as I clicked auto level it did a forward...

Just make sure you're ready to catch your MK if you ever have to use failsafe, watch this and you'll understand... http://vimeo.com/29009591 Definitely not as smooth as DJI on the descent... Ken

Some interesting stuff and one long overdue feature... Support for new Graupner MX20 TX with built in telemetry and speech Teachable Carefree mode - you don't have to stand statue like in the same position anymore! Dynamic position hold - move the stick and the MK will move slowly in...

I doubt my settings will do you any good, the AV130 I have under the Y6 is my old one with Hyperion servos which is a completely different setup than the new one with Savox servos. I did try the new one for 1 1/2 flights before it went down due to the motors being turned off and it wasn't at all...

Keep in mind that ATTI mode is also a vario altitude hold so you won't get a huge punch of power unless you push the stick all the way up rather quickly. If you use manual mode you find the throttle responds as you expect it to but also the multi is no where near as stable since you're now...

To put it bluntly, yes the FAA and its decree are being ignored, I think mainly because no one has yet been prosecuted for it although many have been threatened with it if they continued to do business. I have personally talked with a gentleman that was shut down by the FAA, they threatened him...

Here in the USA it is currently illegal to do it commercially using RC aircraft according to the FAA so for now it's just a hobby for me. Maybe someday if the FAA ever gets around to actually defining and implementing regulations for commercial use I may pursue whatever certification is...

My first flight using the WKM was on a small quad around 550mm and it flew really nice on the default settings. It's a pretty basic machine with just motors, esc's, Trex 600 landing gear, 3S 2650 battery and the WKM as flight controller. When I moved the WKM to the much larger and heavier Y6...
