Cool thanks for the reply.

So Im getting some drift on my roll axis with my zenmuse. Now before you tell me to balance all three axises, I did that. Out of the box the roll and pan axis were pretty off, and I have balanced and rebalanced at least 4 times. So now I have a little bumble level and make sure I'm level before...

Strange, I opened it on my iphone and mac with no problem. Sorry about that let me know if its the site or if it was just a fluke.

Gopro3 Black is in a league of its own. The Silver is basically the same as the 2 with a few more options like blue tooth and the new body design.

Pitch curves look a little off. Glad he didnt kill himself though.

Nice troll

So we agree then. I guess just a difference of what it is to blow things out of proportion.

Well.... I dont think this is being blown out of proportion. Especially my specific comment on this thread, but it is true I think this was monumentally dangerous and stupid move. And although I might be somewhat new to AP, im not new to the hobby and most people who are familiar with the hobby...

Start small and learn to fly. my first multirotor was a DJI 450. If you start there you will learn enough to know to ask the right questions. I've seen lots of people who buy something big and expensive and end up selling it for parts when they crash it within the first week. There is so much to...

Good Question, this topic is being discussed Here. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1677105&page=342#post24115308. Bottom of page 342. In any event these batteries seem super expensive. You should be able to get quality lipos in the 5000 mah range for about 100 bucks a pop. But...

Slightly off topic of the question but maybe helpful later. I ended up using a split color shaft around the gps base mount so that I could leave the aluminum base on the multirotor so I can easily remove the actual mast. It works great and makes traveling and adjusting the compass easy. Just a...

Any ideas on what started the fire? Best of luck getting everything back together.

Cheaper then the kopterworx solution. I have seen the carbon option, and although it might seem cheaper, in the end it would probably be more then 177. Also carbon wrapped arms are removable. If you get rid of that feature, the s800 is not worth it.

Not sure when these were released, there has been some chit chat on this forum and rcgroups but I haven't heard any reviews or test. Seems like its a pretty simple design for a simple problem. Anyone? http://www.secraft.net/shop/step1.php?number=1343

Hey so I thought I wrote a reply to this when I solved the issue, but I guess my phone didn't post after all. First of all, to all of you that said this is a IOC or home point indication I had already specified that I had ruled that out in my first post. I ruled that out by stating that the...

I have read a few accounts of this happening to people but I have not really figured out the issue. After taking off I will get a rapid green light flashing indicating IMU data lost. If I put a fresh pair of lipos on it will fly for a minute or two without the lights. If I didn't see the light I...

I think that most places its illegal for commercial uav flying. In the states people refer to it as a grey area of the law. But I have talked to people who do large scale UAV GIS mapping, who also serve on FAA boards, and to paraphrase they said, "its not grey, its illegal for commercial...

Im actually anxious for the US to start some certification or licensing. Its not if someone crashes their multirotor or heli into a crowd, its when. I was camera oping at the IZOD center a year ago for an Indian Cultural fest, and some **** head was flying a Trex 700 over a very densely packed...

Kilby, I think you need to screw on the ball links, and then the rod between the arms just snaps on the balls. Similar to the head assembly of the CP heli. So true you may need tools for install, but once install it is quick release. On a CP heli they can be tricky to get off due to tight space...
