    Who adds capacitors to their power train

    I heard this too, but all the reading I have done is in reference to single engine prop planes. Not sure but I think having multiple motors that are firing their poles at different intervals might help alleviate this issue. But I am far from an expert on this. On this build site Blayne adds...

    Alarm on multicopter during emergency situations (failsafe) by law

    Not a bad idea in theory. I had to replace the buzzer on my lipo battery charger and it was pretty straight forward. You'll have to find the right size buzzer, but many run of 5-12 volts. So I would guess you'll need a bec or voltage regulator and an rc relay switch. You can just set that relay...

    Teradek / Paralinx with Zenmuse?

    I tried, but because zenmuse has such a wacky start up, you have to plug your HDMI into the camera after it starts up. And then there isn't a lot of room to fit your HDMI cable. And if you solve those two problems the cable will often snag on the cage design and the zenmuse will have to reset...

    $30K Mistake

    Well spoken Tabb, its the price you pay. All the more reason to keep safety in mind and not fly over crowds of people.

    DJI Lightbridge - 2.4G Full HD Digital Video Downlink

    What do you suppose that blue dot on the table is for? you can watch a frame by frame, when he picks up the TX it disappears for a second, but it doesn't appear to be hiding anything.

    Great new promotional video about moving cameras

    This is a great video that a LA company just made about all the awesome ways you can move the camera to get the shot. Notice the UAV in there! https://vimeo.com/86858909

    DJI Lightbridge - 2.4G Full HD Digital Video Downlink

    Oh I see your question. I don't completely understand it either but I'll take a shot in the dark anyway. I think the light bridge RX and TX are both higher output then your standard RX TX combo.

    DJI Lightbridge - 2.4G Full HD Digital Video Downlink

    You could say the same if people used 2.4 for fpv and controls. But most everyone uses two different bands. Such as 2.4 for controls and 5.8 for video. Or 2.4 for video and UHF bands for flight controls.

    ESC do not arm all together

    Calibrating the ESCs refers to setting the throttle end points. So for Maytech it works by setting one at a time. Plug the ESC into some sort of power source and the throttle channel of your RX. Power the ESC on with the TX at full throttle, wait for a beep, then take it down to lowest throttle...

    DJI X8 Options

    Did you have to modify the Tarot motor mounts to have the coaxial configuration?

    ESC do not arm all together

    Not the main controller. I notice if one of the ESCs is unplugged it doesn't happen. If they are all plugged in its F1 and F2 that have a slight delay on the arming. Any tips would be great.

    ESC do not arm all together

    Ok new development. When I switch the servo leads, the lag always happens out of outputs 7&8. Seems to happen less often on firmware 5.16. Going to try switching out the main controller.

    ESC do not arm all together

    Thanks for the warning Phil. I have narrowed it down to M7 and M8. When the WKM is not powered they all seem to chime at once. I am running 5.26 i am going to try going back to 5.16 to see if that makes a difference.

    Aerial MOB arm extensions for dji based frames

    Is there a way to just get the frame end? I want to use these for Coax configuration which would mean using a different motor mount.

    ESC do not arm all together

    Ya tried calibrating ESCs, as well as updating the firmware of the WKM, that didn't seem to work either.

    ESC do not arm all together

    I know this has been discussed somewhere but I can't seem to find the answer. What is going on when your ESC don't arm all together when you power up your MR. I am flying a X8 with wkm and Maytech 40 amps. I need to calibrate still and think this might be the issue but figured I would throw it...
