    Choosing propellers for my setup

    Hey, I've been using APC slowfly props for years but balancing them takes a lot of time. Especially SF Pushers seem to be a lot worse than normal SF's. I'd like to switch to well balanced CF props to avoid balancing and would like to hear opinions on brand and size. My setup is the following...

    XAircraft Crashes....

    I can imagine the feeling :) Which TX do you use? On Spektrum/JR you need to re-bind the receiver with failsafe switch activated. Futaba has a failsafe menu where you can do the same thing. After this you may want to try it on the ground (might be a good idea to remove the props). Just turn off...

    XAircraft Xaircraft ESC questions

    Good info RTRyder! :) I test-flew my X650 with Xaircraft XL30A and Hobbywing 30A (flashed with SimonK) ESC's and I could see a difference in stability. With SimonK there was less swaying and oscillations. Xaircraft ESC's seemed to be slower to respond. However, when I got back from the...

    XAircraft Xaircraft ESC questions

    Thanks, nice observation :) I contacted Xaircraft and they responded quickly to my email. Great customer support! Those are rebranded T-Motor ESC's (Probably made by Hobby Wings as you said). http://www.rctigermotor.com/html/2013/esc_0916/83.html The X650 was quite wobbly in windy...

    XAircraft Xaircraft ESC questions

    Took the plastic off. They seem to have a SiLab chip, so SimonK won't work. Would need to try the BLHeli Multi firmware. Any thoughts?

    XAircraft Xaircraft ESC questions

    Xaircraft makes fantastic products (we absolutely love the SuperX!) but to be honest, it's rather difficult to find information about some of their products :) We bought a couple of X650 Pro kits and they came with XL30A ESC's. It seems that they are not SimonK flashed? I don't quite understand...

    XAircraft Kopterworx .... poor service?

    I have always gotten a quick response from Kopterworx guys.. One of the best shops out there IMO.

    XAircraft SuperX

    Thanks I tried with Google Chrome and it worked, somehow Firefox was giving errors.. We have tried the SuperX on 5 different helis from small to mid size helis and haven't had any major issues. Today our Y6 jumped in the air once, for some reason. It was in a steady hover when it suddenly...

    Anyone else having problems downloading the latest firmware from xaircraft's site? I get a "server not found" message when clicking the download links.

    Need FC recommendation

    Hey I've used NanoWii boards in small quads with similar setup and they fly super smoothly even in gusty wind. But they are Arduino based and if you don't want that, then I'd recommend Xaircraft SuperX which is my favorite FC at the moment. You can buy the quad version, which is cheaper than...

    DJI S1000 Pics...

    That actually is the first DJI frame that looks like it might actually work. No more crappy plastic arms. The folding feature is nice. Could be a nice setup with SuperX FC.

    Zero UAV Is the Zero UAV a good product?

    I have the YS-X6 and I would say it's not worth the money.. I've tried it with small hexa and large X8 - The plastic case looks very cheap and fragile - It came with a serial connector (seriously.. why not usb?) - The wifi can't connect straight to mobile (this is fixed in the new version) -...

    XAircraft SuperX

    Yes it does. We tried with different heights today. It comes back smoothly and doesn't do any fast moves. We flew our 70cm X8 today with all factory gains and it was stable, even when descending. Seems to work well with small and also larger helis.

    XAircraft SuperX

    Good evening Received our SuperX's today and I must say I'm very impressed! Immediately installed one on a small quad. The components have a quality feel to them. Being so sick of DJI cr*p, I plan to get rid of my Naza as soon as possible. The setup was super easy. Only thing that was a bit...
