    Thermal safety ESC?

    No idea but I doubt it as the Phantoms are made with cheap components on the whole.

    How the Pros fly

    Flappybird, I mean this as a genuine question, not a dig or anything but what safety benefits does soloing bring as I can only see disadvantages eg getting sucked into 'the shot' and thus not giving the right attention to the aircraft and where it is with regard to its surroundings and other air...

    Ay oop Gary, good to see you here. I tried the Quad over Quad as we chatted on the phont and it didn't do much on my rig so hopefully you might have more luck.

    How the Pros fly

    I use the FPV screen a great deal but in exactly the same way as a pilot scans his instruments. Look at the screen, look at the aircraft, look at the screen, the aircraft and so on. I never fly in manual mode as all it takes is a loss of orientation at the wrong time and in the rig will go. I...

    The Future of Propeller Technology

    No, wind turbines which have to operate at the most efficient rate possible. I know its a bit like apples and oranges but I am sure there is some correlation there.

    The Future of Propeller Technology

    I think three blades is possibly ax efficiency- look at turbines. Helis have 2 blades often which might be more down to mechanical simplicity. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The Future of Propeller Technology

    Oh dear I have to have a laugh (at myself). Long day yesterday and re-reading this I have indeed been very harsh so apologies. The original post was a bit of fire and forget or should that now be fire and regret?! On the up side, one of the reasons I like KDE is for responses as above. However...

    It wasn't just the use of the f word but the whole abusive tone of the post. Just because you use a couple of **s doesn't reduce the offensive nature of your language. Move on and show more respect. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    losing altitute with big x8

    Well, I added some open cell foam baffles to my IMU and tested it today. It did sweet stuff all but that is kind of what I anticipated. The air is still moving over the foam causing a pressure drop around the foam and you cant hid that from the sensors. So I suspect that it is something baked in...

    Ronin m. What do you guys think for aerial?

    The reason you need GPS is all to do with gravity. A gimbal effectively uses gravity so that it knows which way it is pointing and it does this through accelerometers. The problem is that acceleration and gravity are indistinguishable in terms of what the gimbal senses (think of G force for...
