    XAircraft Super X on TBS Discovery

    Last night I replaced the Naza V1 on my favorite Discovery FPV quad with a Super X basic. My original intent was to fly the X on a Droidworx VM4 frame I have but with the way things are going at work right now I have no time to do a complete build until early to mid November at the soonest...

    TBS Discovery alternative arm setup

    Finally getting to the meat of a project I've been thinking about for a while, a way to use something besides DJI arms on a TBS Discovery. The other day I did a block setup for 17mm carbon fiber tubes which I'll eventually get setup on a frame and test fly. Before doing that I decided to go a...

    3D printed FPV quad

    I've recently acquired a 3D printer and one of my first projects was trying to make replacement arms for the less than sturdy Delrin parts of a HoneyBadger FPV frame I have... None of those were due to hard crashes, all it takes is a rough landing on a hard surface to do that kind of damage...

    Found the official release email in my inbox this morning for the DJI GoPro gimbal. Pricing set at $699 US and of course unless you've already preordered one the initial shipment is sold out.

    Aeronavics / Droidworx AD-6 repair tech

    I recently installed a 3DR APM 2.5 on my well worn AD-6 heavy lifter, during the tuning process I noticed it was having issues with yaw stability so I decided it was time for a bench session to give the old bird a thorough examination. This particular frame hasn't seen a lot of use recently, the...

    I got bit, badly...

    One of those unforeseeable and ultimately stupid mistakes that could have been avoided, got me a quick trip to the E-R and 40 or so stitches in the side of my right wrist. Had just finished flying my Hoverthings FlipFPV frame with APM2.5 controller and disarmed the motors after landing. I was...

    Nice flying weather

    This doesn't normally happen in New England in March... While not uncommon for it to snow this time of year, we rarely get 20 inches of snow in a 36 hour period as we did Thursday into late Friday afternoon. This was recorded around 1:30 PM on Friday using a GoPro Hero on the front of my...

    Things to do in Las Vegas, other than the obvious...

    Thanks to the Nor'easter that's about to bury Boston under 12 to 24 inches of snow I find myself stuck in Las Vegas until Sunday morningwith time to kill. Anyone have suggestions on things to do that don't involvecasinos or "working girls"? Beginning to wish I had packed a small FPV quad...

    Never had this happen before!

    In the years I've been flying multirotors I've had a lot of weird things happen while flying but this is a first. Charged up a battery and went outside for a little night flying with a Multiwii Quad, cold out there but no wind and otherwise perfect conditions for flying. About a minute and a...

    New FPV build

    Just about to complete a new FPV quad build, this one based on the Hoverthings FlipFPV frame. This frame is a variation of the older Hoverthings FPV frame using arms that are similar in design to the QAV500 but made of 1/4 inch thick G10 rather than the aluminum alloy of the QAV. When completed...
