    Editor on mobile site is borked

    Like, way borked. I was just posting a classified ad and had a lot of text input issues. The next sentence will be "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog" but without any corrections: thetquickqbrowntfox jumpedjoverjthe lazyldog It's like instead of adding a space it's adding the first...

    What are your go-to sites for parts?

    I'm trying to find a one-stop-shop for multirotor parts but it seems like a lot of places tend to gravitate toward one brand or another and don't have a good selection. I've used Quadrocopter, Intelligent UAS, GetFPV, ReadyMadeRC, Hobby Wireless, Foxtech, Hobbyking and a bunch of others, some...

    Tarot FY650 yaw problem

    I'm finally to the point of asking for input :( I built a Tarot FY650 a while back and have been chasing a yaw problem ever since. Motors are Sunnysky X4108S 600KV with APC 12X3.8MR props. ESCs are ZTW Mantis 20A. I'm using 4S 4000/5400 batteries. Controller is a Naza V2. I've tried every...

    For Sale Skyjib X4 Ti-QR

    Price lowered This is an almost brand new Skyjib. Our priorities are shifting so we're moving to different equipment. The aircraft was built by Intelligent UAS and has been flown probably 10-15 times, just test flights. Specs: Frame: Droidworks Skyjib X4 Ti-QR Motors: KDE 5215XF 435KV ESCs...

    Oh great... is this true? (registration)

    http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/u-s-will-require-drones-be-registered-n446266 Please tell me this is clickbait. If the DOT has their fingers in this... good grief. From Wired: http://www.wired.com/2015/10/fed-drone-registration/ I really hope this isn't as bad as it sounds. If it is...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Skyjib X4 Ti-QR "wobble"

    I've had this issue for a while and I'm getting nowhere fast. We ordered this rig from Intelligent UAS (first mistake... don't ask) last year and finally got it. Unfortunately, it has an odd tendency to wobble very time I return pitch/roll back to center. The controller is an A2. Motors are...

    Joystick controllers

    I have an issue... I work with a couple of different camera operators. One is an old-school type who prefers to use control wheels, so he uses a very nice set of Veracity wheels for his work. The other is different, he just prefers a joystick. However, as most of you know, RC transmitter sticks...

    Simplest setup for STILL photography?

    *DELETED* There was a thread literally 5-6 posts down and I somehow missed it before posting. DERP. Sorry.

    P2V+ transmitter issue...

    I just had a weird issue pop up. I hadn't flown my Phantom in a while, and a couple of weeks ago I took it to the field to make sure everything was working right. For some reason, now, the S1 switch isn't working; the aircraft is stuck in GPS mode. The weird thing is that flipping the switch...

    A2 2.4 + Skyjib = Wobble

    Hey guys We've got a new Skyjib X8 with an A2, built by 1UAS (I was too busy or I'd have done it myself). It flies pretty much fine except for a very disconcerting wobble when it's recovering. If I give it a roll or pitch input and release it instantly, it will rock back and forth several...

    TBS Gemini

    I've decided to go back to quads (and I need the money) so my Gemini is up for sale. The aircraft is almost new; only flown about 4-5 times. It is VERY locked in and flies beautifully and is pretty quick. Here's a video: It was never crashed, not even a hard landing. No damage, very light...

    Foxtech Pivot V2 retracts... anyone?

    I'm using Foxtech's V1 Pivot retracts on a large heavy lifter, and I'm not impressed. Currently on the second set after the first ones were damaged, but prior to that they were already giving me trouble, often sticking in up or down positions or just stopping working completely (even with a...

    Retract wiring

    I'm repairing the landing gear on a large X8 and have a new set of Foxtech Pivots to install. The builder had the retracts plugged directly into the receiver, which I DON'T like. What's the preferred method? The retracts have typical receiver plugs on them; I'm assuming I should solder a BEC...

    Where can I find this CF plate?

    I'm working on a mount for a Cinestar 8... I've found a couple of 4 and 8 point plates available, but none have the bolt pattern I need for the quick releases (I have a separate source for those). Not gonna spend $800-900 for an outdated 3rd axis kit just for a $50 CF plate, so any help...

    Recommendation for a Red Epic rig

    Simple question with what will likely be some not-so-simple answers... I'm shopping for a Red Epic-capable rig for a friend of mine. We're not extremely happy with the current rig we've ended up with (ongoing issues, won't mention the source right now) so we're thinking about switching to...
