    Pending CA Legislation

    The wording on this one seems very ambiguous. . .Based on the snippets I quoted, It ALMOST sounds like they are trying to make a set of rules for "appropriate usage" which could be opening up "CA legal" commercial operations(maybe i am trying to see the positive). . . . But you know things get a...

    To Coax or not to Coax

    I recently built both a UAP1 flat hex and a "beater" Y6. . . There is a fair chance that my UAP flathexa will become a Y6 this spring. ;) It seems to me If I can figure on tuning that he Y6 will be more maneuverable as long as I can still lift my Nex5, I won't care if I lose 1 minute of flight...

    Power supply for mega chargers

    Thanks for the info here I think I understand 95% of it. Just a few questions. 1. What is the ground isolation thing? and what does it do? 2. It seems the psu's are just "wired in series" on the output side, like 2x3s batts in series to make 6s?? 3. Are the input plug wires "parallel" for ease...
