http://www.theverge.com/2016/4/1/11347470/dji-patent-lawsuit-against-yuneec-drones Yuneec is days away from shipping their new Typhoon H to their customers and it appears DJI does not like competition. What's really irritating is that I am one of those that pre-ordered a Typhoon H...

Cold solder joints?

It's not the first. There was a large heavy lift with an A2 that took off like a rocket on the first flight. Straight up, never to be seen again.

John over at Addictive RC was handling some of this type of work for one state or another. He's out of Tucson, AZ. Steadidrone makes a quad that's just about ideal for it.

Me too.

The T650 is plenty stable just as it is. Don't change anything hoping for more stability. It does not need it.

AV8Chuck will be a very good source of information for xxxhawk type FC's and functionality going forward.

I made the mistake of not better reviewing the limitations. For most users the tool would be effective. Understand that we work with both single propeller fixed wing and very large multirotors, both of which use propulsion systems and propellers that exceed the 5kgf limitation by considerable...

It's the legal limit for most. It's not if you operate under a military level CoA. Both the hardware and software require considerable alteration for heavy stuff testing. It's fine for the small and average size designs but not for anything that carries serious weight.

We do, and have absolute trust in the system's reliability. When our systems go up they put many hundreds of thousands of $ of payload in the air. The Pixhawk also allows tremendous software modification for the flexibility necessary to perform tasks/operations specialized for the design...

Pretty much limited to smaller prop sizes. I blew by the limiting specs when I initially looked at it. Completely useless for everything I work with, which covers a broad size spectrum. If you plan on flying a 50lb quad this tool is not for you.

One of our advertisers, http://www.genstattu.com/ They've recently moved their operations to Dublin, CA. Damn good batteries. Bear in mind lipo shipping restrictions are getting tighter every day so those of us using large batteries need to start thing about battery sizes that can be used in...

T-Motor and Avroto and a couple that come to mind for motors. You can have high quality or cheap, but not both and in the parts you are referencing quality is critical.

It can if you construct a GPS repeater module. Really an expensive thing to do though.

Good video. Great initial response.

Back in the day U.S. Futaba manuals were written by a brilliant techno geek named Don Edberg. Don't know what happened to him but back then the manuals were comprehensive and complete, with one section flowing logically into the next. Man, those were nice to work with! That's not the case...

Big time

My company bought one of the dyno tools. It was unfortunate we didn't learn until after the fact it was so thrust limited.

You just had to go the "mine's bigger" route, eh? :)

Too little information. Number of flights to date, build process, etc., are all needed to form an opinion. You called out one item incorrectly installed, what else might be installed incorrectly? Props too?
