    Balancing props

    When someone can figure out how match the span wise CG of each blade of an airplane prop THEN you will have a balanced prop. This method only gets you in the ball park but you still get plenty of prop vibration.

    ESCs and refresh rates

    Thanks for clearing that Up Ken. After reading many posts and watching many manufacture videos it seems that one might be able to deduce that most all modern ESCs are pretty much the same in this regard. Got a full MK system here on the bench but wasn't looking forward to the up hill grind of...

    ESCs and refresh rates

    Apologize if this info is already listed. Is there a list of ESCs along with their refresh rates listed anywhere. Have HW 40A Platinum on the CS8.

    WKM in the wind - Your experiences - What could be improved

    Boom length/motor spacing may be another factor as the longer the boom moment the further the motor/prop assembly has to travel in the vertical plane to both induce and fulfill both nick and roll corrections. Sense the CS8 now has smaller props, the motors can be slid inboard. This theory...

    This should be good enough to get us going albeit a bit late to the party.

    Another Cinestar 8 and WKM

    Here is a vid of the CS8 in a good amount of wind. 12x6 APC props. After the vid uploaded, remembered that there was no compass calibration done. Plus the GPS "Y" value is set to zero even though the GPS is behind the CG. GPS mode through the entire vid. Balasted with batteries hanging...

    Another Cinestar 8 and WKM

    Used the settings Geoff suggested and with a bit of reduction in the numbers got the CS8 to fly the best ive ever seen it do so far. Wind was only about 3 MPH but before it would pitch and roll badly with the old settings. Will try APC 12x6 very soon and also 12x3.8sf. May try high timing as...

    Thanks for responding Geoff. Using medium timing on the HW Platinum ESCs. Will give those values a go and report back. Want the WKM to work on this rig more than anything as weve flown it on smaller rigs and its just fantastic !

    Thanks for that Stevey. Am using the same size props and cam mount. Sounds like the flying weights are real close on both machines. Could you perhaps post a pic of the components installation if you get time ? Thanks again for your help.

    Hi Robert ! Thanks for getting involved :) IMU Z#: -4 GPS Z#: - 17 Have also ran these as "+" values with no change. Believe "above CG and/or behind CG is negative number" and "below CG and/or ahead of CG is a positive number" is this correct ?
