    making a quadcopter from scratch

    I have two Tarot carbon fiber battery plates, one will go on top. I think I can get away with most of the electronics on the top carbon fiber sheet shown in the photo and on the battery tray that will be on top of it. There will be another carbon fiber sheet underneath. I have not decided if it...

    making a quadcopter from scratch

    I bought some 25MM tubing and a couple of sheets of carbon fiber in an effort to make a quadcopter from scratch with some left over parts from my first build. It kind of looks like if Dr. Frankenstein made a quadcopter but should be fun. Since taking these cell phone photos I have added an...

    Check out this angry seagull. It tried to take out my Phantom.

    If I did not move up or down, I think my Phantom would have gone for a swim.

    Strapped a 3Lbs weight to the Tarot T810 I built (video)

    It is super stable in GPS mode, and I messed with the "expo" settings in the futaba remote which helped a bit in manual mode.

    Crutches for quadcopter arms?

    I have 4 x 17 inch props, a motor and a couple of ESC's left over from my last build and am dying to build another. I am thinking of making a large quadcopter with the legs of crutches I sawed off. They are about 30 inches long and weigh about 120 grams each. They are symmetrical and strong of...

    Strapped a 3Lbs weight to the Tarot T810 I built (video)

    I wanted to see if in GPS mode hexacopter would be able to handle the extra weight, so I attached a 3 pound weight to simulate a mirrorless camera. That's the plan eventually. I noticed in GPS mode the throttle is far more tame than in manual mode. In manual mode if I give it full or close to...

    Slow throttle in GPS mode fast in manual? Naza M V2

    When flying in manual mode my hexacopter will climb like a rocket when given full throttle, but in GPS mode it doesn't climb nearly as fast. I've searched the web and only see references to the intelligent flight mode but that is not the problem. I've looked at all the settings on my Futaba...

    Took apart my ebay steal the tarot T810. Check out the pics.

    In the last hour I adjusted the GPS 13 degrees, adjusted the expo for flying in manual mode, noticed that one motor was not exactly parallel with the others, fixed it, and holy ****, what a difference. This thing fly's like a Phantom, only bigger and a lot scarier. BIG THANKS to everyone on...

    Lol, yes. But now I know exactly what 13 degrees is and I have a cool compass.

    Downloaded a compass today and will take care of that soon. Thanks. "I don't see any declination dialed into your compass. It should be 13 degrees east for Pacifica. Just trying to be helpful. Mike. "
