    I want to build a mini AP still photo multirotor

    What's the verdict on the Eagletree Vector FC? I note it has loiter and RTF functions. I'm reading mixed reviews on RCGroups.

    I want to build a mini AP still photo multirotor

    Where I fly, the water is at most 10 feet deep, so the copter can be retrieved easily. I have a buoy to throw to the impact zone if needed. But I do not plan to fly over the water unless I am 99% confident in the reliability and stability of the system. So many hours will be spent burning it...

    I want to build a mini AP still photo multirotor

    I want to build a mini AP still photo multirotor

    I like the position lock of GPS because I do not feel comfortable taking my eye off the MR to look down at my screen unless I know it's locked. The OpenPilot has GPS but only as telemetry, not a GPS hold. So the choices are now between APS, Pixhawk and Naza V2 (unless I pull the controller off...

    I want to build a mini AP still photo multirotor

    With two working multirotors up and going, I am under the impression that they are too big for what I want to do which is shoot high quality still photos in an urban environment. My concern is basically that the larger machines have a bigger impact should something go south. I am also becoming...

    DJI Failsafes and JR nine channel receivers

    There are two modes of JR bind. The traditional bind which holds all channels where they were at the point of loss of signal, but throttle cut. This you do by pulling the plug when you are done binding the tx to the rx. Our type is to have all channels go to a predetermined position, that is...

    Who here is from FL?

    I'm here in Key Largo also and fly mostly at the Osprey club next to the Homestead NASCAR track.

    Any thoughts about this spider quad carbon frame?

    I'm just getting back into this after being disappointed with my last controller. I am buying a quad 550 setup and was considering this frame given I will be hanging a still camera from the unit. What do you guys think about this frame design, and any comments about the seller? I would be...
