    One transmitter and multiple copters

    Most computer radios have model memory, so you "store" the models settings and "bind". I have 12 rigs bound to one transmitter (8 multi's and 4 airplanes). With most you turn on the TX, select the model and then turn on your rig. Done. You only need to bind them 1 time and than can be done...

    HobbyKing goes "Pro" with the DYS D800 X8 HL Copter.

    When one hears HobbyKing, one things of fun toys, micro quads and cheap batteries. But usually "Pro" is not part of the conversation. Well today I noticed a "Professional" grade X8 Heavylift Copter from DYS listed. And for $1397.59 it seems like a decent value. So the big question, who any of...

Nothing ore is known at the moment but from the pics we can see it's a larger quad with 3D capability using duel pitch props running on 4S packs, Carbon booms and a sturdy build! They will be flying...

    OK, WTF!

    YES.. sorry to hear about this but NEVER - NEVER!!! (N-E-V-E-R) power up a helicopter with blades on if you don;t intend to fly it. And I agree it sounds like a radio setting issue or a straight up radio failure! Sorry this happened, I hope you recover quickly!

    Hexacrafter X8 - Finished and Ready for Service!

    10,750 Grams, about 23.5lbs. That weight is with (2) 10,000 6S packs, and I fly for about 10 min landing with around 33% left in the batts. And for what I usually do, (1 - 2 minute flights) this gets me around 8 flights per battery set. For Cub Cadet recently I flew 58 flights in 10 hours...

    I think 99% of the fly-a-ways are user caused. If you calibrate the DJI compass's and instal them properly they work fine. Also it's very important to allow the Flight Control to log "home" before flying. Most fly-a-ways are a combination of going to quickly in the air, and bad set up.

    How do gimbal motors stay in place?

    I have seen guys take the smaller Alexmos boards and just hook up the tilt to their FPV cam.. works great.

    I was solo on this one, had the 2nd radio on the case and was only able to tilt it slightly as my cam op was not available.

    Hexacrafter X8 - Finished and Ready for Service!

    Actually Andrew had that vib dam specifically designed around the M5 and the weight of a GH4+lens. Like MAJOR loot was spent making the perfect system for this exact set up. The blue balls are not "off the shelf" rubber, they were tuned to the weight and size of the gimbal and the resonant...

    WKM Crash at takeoff

    Also don;t try to fly the take off, in fact keep your hand off the cylic stick. On take off they can rock a bit and if you try to correct, it usually results in a tip over.
