    Mikrokopter MK Okto with I2C converter **Question**

    What are you using for props? Not that it would likely make as much difference as it does with stacked motors like on my Y6 but it's an idea worth trying if you have some different type props on hand which I know you do... And out of curiosity, what ESCs are you using? I've had issues with...

    Time to try a Y6

    For now I just ordered a set of the larger engine mount plates from Rusty (along with another mini quad frame :) ). That will get the motors mounted and allow me to use a brace between the top and bottom without having to jury rig anything to do it. I don't mind using the X mount, that's how I...

    NEW - DroidWorx V3 Airframes

    I have the new engine mount plates, they look a lot like the ones that came on the standard V2 with the exception the engine mount holes are slotted so you can fit all 4 mounting screws for the larger 2814 series motors and they don't show any milling marks which leads me to believe they're...

    Time to try a Y6

    I'm going to give it a go with the same motor mounts for now. One thing I am going to do is make a set of aluminum standoffs to go between the upper and lower mounts to keep them square to each other and add a bit of strength for the bigger and heavier motors. I've got plenty of 6061 round stock...

    Time to try a Y6

    I do, however the AD-6 won't be getting changed over for a while. Last night I loosened one of the front motors and rotated it so it was pointing down to check prop clearance to the landing gear. Got maybe a half inch, if that, with 11 inch props, 12 inch definitely would not work. Its a little...

    Don't know if its my laptop or what but the video actually looks like better quality watching it direct on youtube... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcvlYgSsIWc) Yeah, for something I literally threw together in a day and a half I was quite surprised not only how well it flew but also how...

    Time to try a Y6

    First video Got out to the flying field today with most of the fleet although the main goal was to get a flight or two on the Y6 which I did manage to do. I bolted the camera mount on the bottom last night while I was charging batteries and did a quick and not so accurate setup of it this...

    1st Time MK Waypoint Flying How/To Tips

    Maybe a bit of kludge but if you set the height you'll be at for each waypoint, you can maybe also set the angle of the camera platform to a known position and adjust the height at the waypoint so the angle and direction gets you the shot you want? As long as the Mk is pointed in the right...

    Smile for the camera What I did this evening while charging batteries... I'll find out tomorrow how well it works. Won't have a lot of roll compensation, the top edges of the Hisight frame hit the cross braces of the landing gear well before it runs out of servo travel. If I have...

    Time to try a Y6

    George agreed with me that it is directly related to how they handle the state of the camera mount between power up and arming the board, the problem being amplified by the somewhat wobbly MK flexlander landing gear. It could happen to any frame with landing gear that has some flex to it and a...

    1st Time MK Waypoint Flying How/To Tips

    From what I know of the current firmware release you can only set one POI for the route. There is also a limit to the number of waypoints that can be set but I don't recall what the number is at the moment and I'm too lazy to power up one of the MKs so I can get all the way into MKtool and look...

    Time to try a Y6

    Yes, I loaded the latest release when I switched it over to Y6 config and its no less quirky than previous releases in my experience. Still have to take off, turn on autolevel, counteract whatever way it tries to fly off to, switch off, land, disarm, rearm, take off, and now auto level works...

    Time to try a Y6

    ARRRGGGHHHH!!!! No amount of twiddling, fiddling, or parts swapping will make the wobble go away and I'm not about to spend hundreds of $ to replace motors and ESCs just to see if they are all or part of the problem. Likewise I'm not willing to tear down the electronics stack on one of the...

    Mikrokopter Droidworx AD 8 HLE (First Build)

    First, the motors will start without calibrating the compass, they WILL NOT start without calibrating the gyros first, throttle stick full up and yaw left, must be done every time. Second, the buzzer must NOT be attached directly to the flight control board, it will cause problems with the...

    Time to try a Y6

    Shawn, what motors are you using on your Y6? I replaced a motor with rough bearings in it last night, first step in trying to rid my Y6 of the wobbles. I was also thinking about replacement motors so I could swing a larger prop and carry more weight should I decide to go that route. Suddenly...

    Time to try a Y6

    There's a couple ways to go about it, the first being to just slide the mounting brackets in on the gear rails, quick and easy, and no they really don't need to be bolted to the landing gear plates if you use four bolts down through the frame plate instead of just two as I'm doing with mine...

    Time to try a Y6

    Yeah, but with the coffee table I can fit ANY camera I want to! :p On a more serious note, IT FLYS! Still a lot of details to be cleaned up but I was able to take it out in the backyard and fly it around a bit, so far it seems to be OK with the weight factor though it does seem to have a bit...
