    Motors starting on their own-Bluetooth headset causing it?

    Anybody had this happen? When using bluetooth headsets between pilot and the camera operator, we have experienced motors starting with no input from the radio. Slow spool that eventually will run them at full speed. As the long-range bluetooth headset is a new addition to the equipment, we...

    Airborne Mechatronics - Heavylift KX-8

    Hello, if I remember correctly the flying weight is about 15 kilos with the RED and the Mini added a few hundred grams. This naturally depends on the lenses used. But in general the weight increase is small. Tuomas

    best way to have a 2 man, 1 man gimbal setup?

    I use 2 receivers. The first, controlling the heli on channels 1-8. The second for the gimbal on channels 9-14. On my model memory the gimbal controls are always there if need to fly alone. Then the gimbal rx is paired to my flight transmitter. Usually, with a camera operator, the gimbal rx is...

    advice for flying a ghost

    The arms are wrapped tightly in white sheet. Then there are long torn sheet strips hanging from the middle. I glued them together in some spots with hot glue to make it a bit more rigid. Then there is a painted styrofoam skull with LED eyes, and some white LED strips pointing down lighting the...

    advice for flying a ghost

    Ok, some things that I've discovered...Try to keep the white sheet etc. as far as possible from the props. Taking off and landing with a 1 meter long hanging cloth must be done from a stand or hand. Carefully. Too much wind or too rapid descent will raise the "skirt" closer to the props. GPS...

    Odd telemetry behavior with Futaba 14SG and 7008SB

    If I remember correctly, you have to pair the receiver to each new model memory to get the telemetry online. So, even as otherwise they seem bound to each other, but the telemetry is missing, let the tx find the rx again. I remember having this same issue. TP.
