Put me down for 6 sets, just what I need for the AD-6 heavy lifter. Ken P.S. if there's enough interest in the 10 inch to place an order I'd go for some as well, I like the way they work on the stock Hexa...

Current count is 8, 2 hex and 6 quads. I'mm running out of room to put them, guess I'll have to get rid of those 4 RC Helis that are taking up space just gathering dust now... Ken

On the left, Hoverfly Sport, on the right KK 'blue board'. The KK quad flew for the very first time about an hour ago, a short hover under spotlight outside the basement slider. Tomorrow I'll do a back to back comparison of the Hoverfly Sport vs. the Kk Blue Board on the same frame with the...

I may be crazy for all that has gone into this but I've got way too much time and $ invested to stop now! I think I'll take a break from it and build another quad while I cogitate over what to do next... :) Ken

You are correct that is not the AV 130. Others may have better luck with the newer servos on the 130 but I can't get anywhere close to this level of steadiness with mine, its now living under my stock Hexa and I'll be using it for stills since its not at all suited to doing video as-is. As...

Taken late last week from a couple hundred feet above my front yard, MK Hexa with Droidworx landing gear and Photohigher AV130 mount, Canon SX200 with CHDK intervalometer. The flat gray horizon is the Atlantic Ocean... Ken

The lens looks good I think, the GoPro is challenged no matter what you do with it but changing the lens really does make a difference. Never seen blocarts before though in my part of the world we have something similar for frozen lakes in the winter, just on skate blades instead of tires...

The motors are Exceed Alpha 370 1080kv http://www.hobbypartz.com/alpha-370--1080kv--brushless-motor.html The ESC's are Exceed 12A http://www.hobbypartz.com/60atoproelbr.html Total cost per arm is roughly $21 for motor and ESC, nothing but the best on the little beaters ;) I never...

Just completed assembly of a new aerobatic quad, Kindjal frame, Hoverfly Sport F/C, 1000KV motors, 3S 2100 mAh battery. Did it's first flight on the concrete pad just outside the basement slider due that being th eonly place outside I could light up enough, wasn't able to do much more than get...

The current FAA position is that commercial use has to meet their thus far loosely defined certification requirements but the catch 22 is that they haven't defined a process to certify a pilot/sUAS for commercial use so therefore any commercial use is illegal because it's not certified...

Go into the flight control board 'Settings' in MKtool and open the Misc tab, set the Min Gas setting to 12 or 14 if 12 isn't quite enough and that will solve your problem. Oh, and make sure to do the ESC throttle calibration on the I2C converter too, the combination of that and the min gas...

Just a quick update on where the FAA is with the release of the proposed rules that will govern commercial sUAS use in the USA, not surpingly the June date is long gone and the current status from the FAA is the following... ********************************* On May 12th representatives of...

Exactly! Once you know what to look for the problem is obvious and here's where it is. Look at the picture and find where its labled C21 near the bottom of the right side of the board. Now look directly above it, see the bare copper pad on the small part of the board that comes up through the...

As most of you know I recently had the compass board go bad on one of my Hexa, dead, no lights, no power. OK, order a new board and see if the old one can be fixed when I have nothing better to do. New board arrives, I solder the header to the board, install, and go through the calibration...

My AD-6 in its most recent and current incarnation... The infamous Hoverfly Pro masquerading as an MK quad... My little homebrew 350mm KK quad... My original Jakub frame KK quad, still have it sitting on the shelf... I'll have to get some current pics of the stock...

Hmmm, those "chainsaws" are your Xoar props up close and personal, at least from the GoPro's point of view! From the camera platform the Graupners on the AD-6 sound quieter though from the ground the Xoar props are definitely quieter and the Graupners louder... Personally I think both the...

Dave You'll recognize the frame I've got it mounted in... So I've flown it now and have to say it's a huge improvement over the KK blue board. Pretty good for version 1 release, it will do everything the Kk can and keep its trim for an entire battery pack. Can't say for sure how good...

Here's what I did the video with... The servos I replaced were already analog but very cheap ones, I replaced them with better analog versions with higher torque and better gears. The originals did an adequate job with the exception of having an ever so tiny amount of slop in...

I'm now firmly convinced analog servos are the only way to go if you want really smooth compensation on roll and tilt axis. Here's the first test vid I did this morning with a mount I just finished setting up with Hitec HS-485HB analog servos on both roll and tilt, the little bit of shakiness...
