    Single Op Radio Set up using 8FG tx and R6208SB rx, S800 and Zenmuse

    So I think I know what I need to do to make this work but I just wanted to see if anyone had any input. Right now I am running my WKM though the SBus on the R6209SB rx. (and using Futaba 8FG Super. In the radios manuel it says you can switch the channel settings so the output connectors on the...

    Best Batteries?

    I just got some Hyperion 6s, and I was surprised to see it was a split pack. A 4s and a 2s in one pack. It sucks because there is a lot more wiring going on and they seem way way out of balance. I bought these because I thought they were top end, but I feel like I just flushed a lot of money...

    Best Batteries?

    I have one nano tech with ok results. But in doing a little battery research recently I see the term Nano-puff has become the preferred nomenclature for these Turnigy Batteries.

    Best Batteries?

    Yes, I agree with homer, Wow. I haven't heard to much about these batteries but I am super excited to try some. Just ordered two 6s. All the reviews I have read seem to be quite been positive. On top of that EP buddy seems to be a good company to buy from. Jg, have you tried these yet?

    Anybody in the South Jersey area?

    Well... Not really. There is a cool abandoned golf course in wenonah nj which is close to my inlaws. It's great for fpv. Fairmount park has some ok spots. There is a flying club in valley forge park which I have been thinking about joining. They have a really nice field. I used to live in VT...

    Anybody in the South Jersey area?

    Yeeeee ha! I'm in Philly and fly in south Jercey! When I first got into cp helis a few years ago I looked for people in the area but kind of gave up. Now I'm doing multirotors for ap and just for fun.

    manual mode flying, fast descending is not quite

    Also multirotors are fixed pitch, so descending quickly means lowering your rpms significantly which is why you lose a lot of your gyroscopic stabilization and motor responsiveness. At least that's what I thinks going on. In a cp heli you can rocket down because your rpms and control surfaces do...

    Secraft s800 Prop Adapters

    This must have been discussed, but I didn't find it when I searched the forum. Has anyone used these secraft prop adapters? They seem slick and readily available. Don't know much about this company but I was checking out their landing gear when I found these...

    S800, is it safe now?

    Oh ya, if I go with the s800 I would put apc props on it. I have the GPS unit for my Naza, but could not get it working as well as I hoped and never ended up using it.

    S800, is it safe now?

    Thanks for your response. I have been flying for a while now as a hobby. I work in the film industry so I've always wanted to combine the two. Some of the issues regarding the s800 seem to be related to faulty design of the esc and the gps/ compass unit. However those issues seem to be resolved...

    S800, is it safe now?

    So the internet is great at supplying information, but it is also a cacophony voices and opinions. I am totally sold on buying a z15 gimbal, and I would like to have a hexa copter that packs away as nice as the S800 for a similar price point. My reservations are in regard to all the reports of...

    Strange Problem, no picture?

    Replaced the video out cable from the gopro. Now I am able to get a scrabbled porn... I mean tv look. I can see the colored image coming through all the noise. I'm starting to think its a broken transmitter, the static picture seems to be affected by touching the transmitter.

    Strange Problem, no picture?

    Hey Kloner, glad you joined the conversation. So here is an update on symptoms. First off, i tried multiple channels. When I am on the correct channel, that is to say the RX and TX match, the screen goes almost solid black with a little static. The farther I get from a channel match the more...

    Strange Problem, no picture?

    I haven't flown in a little while and when I went to try and power up my FPV set up today I could not get a picture. I am using a 5.8 system from range video and a gopro, (for now, i know gopros aren't the best for this). When I turn on everything I get black screen with a little static, when I...

    Where can I get a Skyline gimbal controller in the US?

    Did you just get these in stock? I ordered some stuff from you last week and totally missed these. Dammit!

    Where can I get a Skyline gimbal controller in the US?

    Subject says it all. Where can I get a Skyline gimbal controller in the US? Everyone seems to be out of stock. Is this because of the previous issues they had when they were first released. I am using a Av130, should I wait for skylines to come back in stock or go with the hoverfly? Radian is...

    Battery for the AV130

    Thanks Clauz, I believe 5amps is preferable for the skyline. I remember reading that somewhere. But regardless I'm sure you can find a similar regulator with higher amps. For the popularity of these gimbals I find it hard to find some very basic info. But this has been helpfull so thanks again...
