Hey everyone! Sorry for taking so long to get back to you, this information has been invaluable. @IrisAerial, for this prototype we have used the X650 frame, it is very close to the ideal frame for our design and fits the criteria. We take safety very seriously and will be putting every one of...

Great responses, this is a real insight for us. Thanks... Drones in their current state are no where near ideal and we have compiled an incredibly long and detailed list of hardware and software improvements that can and will be made in the coming years. We will do out BEST to implement these...

Hello eskil23, Thank you for taking the time to reply! We should have been more clear on that point, you are correct, that flight time is WITHOUT a payload. Our prototype is compatible with any 4S batteries that has an XT60 connector, so with a 6000mah battery we are looking at even better...

Hello all! Quick background: We are located in Europe and are prototyping designs for a ready-to-fly Drone/quadcopter. We have the equipment and expertise in this field to manufacture a professional product so we pose the question to you: What do you want to see from us in 2015? This year we...

Just a quick FYI, you can indeed unplug the ESC servo connections without a problem!

Check out day two, Chris Anderson and the talk just before him.

"For plastic props I agree entirely however with carbon, not so sure." I am, and I will let you all know how it works out. I have 8 12" carbon fiber propellers balanced in the horizontal plane. To do this I used a 500 grit metal sandpaper, then moved up to 800 and finally 1000. I like the...

Chris's presentation was a highlight, as was the previous talk from dronedeploy.com, this is where things are heading. The hardware and autopilots are pretty much 95% there, now the ecosystem can evolve around that. A really exciting time to be in the "drone" industry.

I really enjoyed watching the live stream, which stalls did you visit?

Cool, thanks! To be clear, the power will be going into the ESCs while the servo (or signal) wire is unplugged from my flight controller. This seems to make sense as the ESC MOS-FETs would not be turned on to draw current, therefore nothing should blow..

I want to run one motor at a time on my quad to see which one of the motors is giving me vibrations... is it safe to unplug ESC wires while power is connected to them? I am using a 4 in 1 ESC so you can see my predicament....

The other night I went to bed safe in the knowledge that packing teams in Germany, China and America had sprung into life, hurriedly shipping what will soon be my first real world experience with UAV technology. Just few days later a small package with Chinese airmail written on the side...

Hi reddinos, to address you questions... 1 - what would the total weight be? 1400g without a gimbal or payload... 2 - and as a result, what would the flight time be? This will vary greatly depending on your style of flight and what you add on for payload. Approximately 20 minutes...

A big hello to everyone from Smart Drones! First off, we are a brand new hobbyist UAV manufacturer located in the south of France. We are currently developing a ready to fly quadcopter and are trying to make the experience as user friendly as possible. At the moment we are in the R&D phase and...

Hey guys. I want to use these motors http://www.getfpv.com/motors/nx-4008-620kv-multi-rotor-motor.html In conjunction with the X650 frame, but alas, as you can see, the motors have this weird three screw connection. Do you guys have any tips on how I could mount them on the X650???

haha, thought so, creepy

Very well put!

You are too kind! Seriously, I don't want to put you out like that.

This package worries me a bit.... http://www.rctimer.com/index.php?gOo=goods_details.dwt&goodsid=735&productname= The motors included are BC2836-1120KV Motors and the ESCs are 20A. But when I look at the identical motors being sold separately, they recommend 40A ESCs...

http://www.buzzflyer.co.uk/MikroKopter/MikroKopter-Quadro-XL-RTF/p-166-2086/ I think that the MK controller price is definitely not justifiable with the advent of Ardupilot etc Also not loving the advertising hype: "Heavy lift 55cm class Bigger props than you have all carbon" Ardupilot has...
