Got the PDF and had a look, don't see anything different from what they're selling now and the mount I have so I guess they haven't changed anything since mine came off the assembly line. I saw the pan option, looks mighty fugly if you ask me and I really don't see the need on a multi anyway...

The Graupner 11 x 5 props arrived today, twelve days from shipment in the UK to my front door, I guess they didn't go airmail! Got a set mounted on the Hexa before it got dark and managed a short hop out in front of the house, wasn't enough to really notice much difference so far. Friday is...

It's noticeably slower than the majority of other websites I go to on this computer. I think it's OK for now but if traffic picks up it will need a boost. Ken

Care to elaborate on the NEW SERIES Pro Mini? I know they've been working on the 360 degree pan feature as well as upgrading the servos yet again and I've been promised the upgraded bits as they come available, but haven't heard anything about a new series yet. Ken

As soon as I can get out someplace to fly and have a view other than my driveway or backyard, I'll put something here for everyone to see. For now, here's an FPV test flight I did on Christmas day with the Hoverfly Quad. Video quality isn't the greatest as this was recorded off the FPV cam...

Last night I did an experiment with my Hexa to see the difference between where the parameter settings were and the out of the box setup with minor tweaks. What I did was write down all the really important settings that need to stay as is, those being the camera setup and poti/channel...

Weather has warmed up here quite a bit almost to the point of it beginning to feel a little spring like :D Time to take a break from getting the camera ships dialed in and have a bit of fun, so that means time for the little Silver Bullet! So what is this Silver Bullet you ask? It's a 350mm...

With the MK powered up and a connection to your computer available either direct via USB or over an Xbee/bluetooth, open MKtool and click on the button for the flight control board. Once the tool receives data from the board it will display the current firmware version in the window at the...

Hmmm, MK flight controller parameter settings, an interesting subject to say the least. If there is one part of Mikrokopter that needs good documentation it's this and unfortunately the existing documentation is either very much out of date, in German, or has been semi-translated into...

Sorry to hear that Dave, knock on wood I haven't had a bad crash with the Hexa though I've stood helplessly while watching the Hoverfly quad fall out of the sky in it's previous frame thanks to some firmware glitches, that happened more than once and twice I had the FPV goggles on which gave it...

There's no indication that they're going to show up anytime soon at this point. I've sent an inquiry to the USPS through their website though I don't expect much of anything useful to come of that either, government employees don't seem especially motivated to bother with things like that unless...

The first thing you'll need is this, the tool that takes a Google Earth image and inserts GPS coordinates for use in MKtool OSD. The download link is down in the lower right corner...

I ordered a set for myself, have to see how they compare to the Fatshark goggles I have now. I like the idea of being able to see the screens while having a line of sight to the multi, how well it will work in practice is another matter. In the worst case I can disassemble them and incorporate...

Almost two weeks ago now I ordered a new set of motors and speed controllers for the Hoverfly quad, according to the tracking info the USPS sent them out of a facility in Ohio on Feb 1, it's now Feb 11 and the tracking hasn't updated since I and I don't have my motors. I've been in contact with...

They're a very different blade profile from those APC, look at how big the root of the blade is on the Graupner compared to the APC. They do not generate as quite much lift as the APC but they are much stiffer and quite a bit stronger, plus if you put each one on a prop balancer you'll find the...

Good night and good luck with it. Tomorrow AM weather permitting I'm off to a nearby frozen lake to actually fly for a change rather than thread the needle of obstacles here around the yard with the Hexa and Hoverfly quad. I'll definitely be glad to see the spring thaw and have access to the...

Easiest way I can explain it... Look at the smaller of the two ribbon cables (6 pins) attaching the FC to the Navi board, immediately to the right of it on the F/C is a pair of servo connectors, the nick servo connects to the bottom set of pins with the black wire closest to the ribbon...

I should probably have added that tweaking nick and roll compensation settings are only important if you're doing video so that the platform on the mount stays as level as possible while the airframe is moving around, for doing stills the settings are not as critical. If you're going to jump...

At the moment I believe it to be the only choice other than the stock fisheye. There are a lot of folks looking at replacement lenses and a few have tried different ones, but so far the Sunex is the best I've seen for a direct replacement. I've also seen a solution that's somewhat of a bodge...

You'll need to look at the proper connections for the servos here, about half way down the page... http://mikrokopter.us/MKDocs/FlightCtrl_ME_2_1.htm And you'll find this somewhat useful also... http://mikrokopter.de/ucwiki/en/MK-Parameter/Camera Quickly, make sure the servos are centered...
