I've finally found the weight limit of my Droidworx Hexa. As an experiment I paired 4 Turnigy 2S 5000 packs in series and then connected the 2 pairs in parallel to see if first the Hexa would fly with the extra weight and second if it did, for how long. The answer is while it does get off the...

I'll put something together on flight controller settings soon, still have some Germanglish to translate into readable text. Things are coming together nicely, I'm down to fine tuning of the settings to get everything perfectly smooth. Here's the last test flight done yesterday afternoon...

So, much experimentation and tweaking has taken place in the last week and I think I finally have things pretty much where I want them. I swapped out the prop adaptors from the homemade Delrin inserts to a set of the correct 5 mm metal units with balanced Graupner props on them. Two of the...

Spare time, what's that? Between work, never ending rounds of snowfall I have to remove from the driveway, and a laundry list of things I'm tweaking on the Hexa, I have no spare time...;) I will say this, I am NOT adding anything else to the Hexa, if I do I'll have to convert it to a heavy...

I balanced a set of Graupners that are now on my Droidworx Hexa, it was silly how little work I had to do to get them perfectly balanced, almost wasn't worth the effort. I've been wanting to try a set of 11 inch props but the Graupner 11 x 5 revrese pitch are out of stock everyplace I know of...

I flew my Hexa with stock frame, mkTR mount with GoPro camera, and FPV transmitter plus a small lipo battery to power the TX, using the stock BL 1.2 controllers for over 450 minutes without a problem. All up weight was roughly 5 1/2 pounds so I wouldn't worry about the BL 1.2 carrying a small...

I've heard of ALtastation but don't know much of anything about it, time to so some research! I like the idea of having the OSD integrated into the flight controller as part of the whole package rather than having to add another board into the limited space available in the electroncis...

Do you mean CAD software to design things or plans for parts that someone else has designed? Ken

Until I got the Hoverfly quad in the air I never used an OSD. Granted the OSD functionality on the HF board is pretty minimal at the moment but it's nice to have battery voltage and altitude visible when flying FPV. A couple times I've found myself amazed to see the altitude at 200 feet or more...

I don't expect it to be much different than the stock frame with mkTR mount attached the weight is about the same. Until I have a chance to get out and really fly it I won't know for sure and with almost 3 feet of snow on the ground and another 6 or so inches predicted for Friday, it's going to...

Unfortunately there is no consolidated guide for MikroKopters that you can reference however many of the current members on this forum also own MK's, myself included. Feel free to ask any questions you have and we'll help you out. You may want to start a new thread for things relating to how to...

About 5 1/2 pounds as you see it here, I wouldn't want to try and lift too much more weight with it as it hovers just a touch over 1/2 throttle.

...Part 4 Oh yeah, almost forgot the upgrade to BL 2.0 controllers on the new distribution board... Might as well go all the way and upgrade the camera mount too... Finished (for now!)...

...Part 3 OK, time for some upgrades, how about a nice tinted dome and high end camera mount... Hmmm, not quite what I wanted, let's try this... While I'm at it, a couple electronic upgrades as well, I2C isolation board in the stack...

...Part 2 Almost ready for power up... Hmmm, a little problem with the compass board... Ahhh, there's the problem, nothing a little solder won't fix... Finally, the first time out at the flying field with all the gear...

The original build of my MK Hexa, on the bench ready to start... The basic frame... Building the power distribution board... Ready to connect the motors...

Speaking of monitors I just ordered a 7 inch also, a nice upgrade from the 3.5 inch I've been using, the little one was OK but hard to really make out any detail on it. The 7 inch I just ordered off EBay has AV in, TV tuner, and a memory card slot so I have the option of using live feed while in...

The short answer is no, though both are affected by vibration a CCD sensor isn't bothered by it as much as a CMOS. CMOS sensors get what is commonly known as the jello effect when subjected to vibration making the video appear as though you are looking at the scene through a bowl of jello as...

Flipping the motors would actually be a very easy thing to do on the Droidworx frame, remove one bolt and rotate the arm 180 degrees, reinsert bolt. Problem there is I'd now have the motor and prop in full view of whatever I have mounted on the camera platform. As it is right now the end of the...
