I really like how well their big board works as a sport flyer controller even if it is supposed to be an APV flight controller, so as soon as I can swap out a KK for this one I'll see how well the sport board actually works, more in a bit... Ken

The alloy plates were the original design, the new ones are now a black composite material. I just received a set direct from Droidworx last week after asking them the same question when upgrading my standard AD-6 to the heavy lift frame. Ken

Don't feed the power to the molex, use the solder pads on the underside of the board to connect direct to battery voltage, its easier than trying to make a harness for the connector. The pad layouts and descriptions are here... http://www.mikrokopter.us/MKDocs/FlightCtrl_ME_2_1.htm The board...

Maybe we should do like jet fighters, have an eject mechanism with parachute for the camera and let the multi fend for itself afterward... ;) Ken

I guess the first question is where is the "front" on your frame in relation to the posted diagrams. I had mine configured per the first diagram and used the attached .mkm file. You can certainly have other orientations but you'll need to modify the .mkm file accordingly to get the motor...

My guess would be Acetal, otherwise known as Delrin. If you've ever priced Delrin you know why the frame is so expensive, there's probably $200 worth (at least) just in the centerplate pieces. Probably called it carbonite because it looks like the stuff Han Solo got covered with in the Star Wars...

My own standard configuration is now Turnigy Plush ESC's and Flycam motors as sold by Minsoo Kim in Korea (kkmulticopter.kr) for most of my quads and other craft that get used and abused heavily. My current MK multis are still going to be 100% MK with the BL controllers, any new builds using the...

I'm kind of surprised it took them this long to make a CYA statement like this, the whole FAA regulation thing has been churning for a few years now. It appears that we'll finally get a glimpse of what they've cooked up sometime this month when the FAA releases their proposed regulations for...

It's actually pretty easy, you can convert what you already have with just two boards and have everything the Hoverfly Pro does (except the OSD) and it actually works. My Hoverfly Pro is now sitting in its original box on my workbench mainly because I'm tired of the firmware problems also. If...

I haven't measured one, but it might be possible to use a large drum case to fit a Hexa/quad/tri into and I don't think they weight nearly as much as a Pelican case. If you know a drummer you might ask if he has any or knows how big they make them. Ken

That's exactly what it means. Change it to 247 (the largest # it will accept) to get the maximum GPS waypoint radius. Yes, if the GPS is working well don't mess with them unless you save them first ;) I'd have to look at the default settings to see if yours are different, they may have...

P.S. position hold is not limited by the 250 meter limitation of GPS waypoints, you can manually fly beyond the limit and P/H will work as long as you have firmware version .80 or higher. Ken

No, if its windy you will not be able to maintain exactly the same position no matter how you set the Mk and Navi-ctrl settings. The amount of horizontal movement will be proportionate to the strength of the wind and the weight of the MK and a little bit with the GPS settings in MKtool. Bottom...

The RC Heli flying field I use has a cargo container with a gasoline generator setup in it and power panels on the outside walls for all the heli guys that fly electric to recharge from, that's one of the reasons I fly there. Even so, I have several sets of batteries for each multi I own and...

If you have the GPS Stick Threshold set to zero in the Navi-Ctrl tab of MKtool you can move the MK off the GPS P/H coordinate with either pitch or roll but it will return to it as soon as you let go of the stick. Yaw will not have any effect on P/H, or rather it won't as long as the MK is well...

Once I got past the inital problems with GCS not working right on the first laptop I installed it on I was able to get the CC board setup and working on 425 mm Gaui upgrade frame, this one... http://www.rcdude.com/servlet/the-1951/HoverThings-VC-dsh-20-Frame-Upgrade/Detail This is the same...

Welcome back! Just getting through some disc problems myself, up on my neck and pinching the nerve that runs down my left arm. Very painful and intermittantly numb in the arm and fingers of the left hand (touch of carpal tunnel probs too) so I'm familiar with what you're going through...

My CC board arrived in the mail yesterday, last night I mounted it on the frame and started the initial setup. Everything went well until I got to the firmware load, thats when the problems started. I went through several cycles of trying to get to the point of being able to boot the board after...
