    Why can't we have the best of both worlds in FC's?

    Ok, so I've been an MK guy for a long time. I absolutely love the constant updates and cool features set. The telemetry is awesome and the Navi log files too. But, the system as a whole is sloppy at holding position and altitude. It's greatly affected by the elements, making for very...

    Jakadofsky Pro 5000, NIB

    Hello guys, I have a NIB Jakadofsky Pro 5000 for sale. It does not have the kero start. I'm asking $5300, shipped anywhere in the US. Priority shipping extra, based on ship location. The turbine was purchased for my 1/4 scale Bell 407. I've since decided to install a Hacker A100-8 as the Hauer...

    Mikrokopter Double Quadro V3 BLC issue

    I have a SkyJib 8 with the newest hardware, 2.5FC, 2.1 Navi, 2.1 GPS and Double Quadro 2XL BLC. The issue is, that the even motors(2,4,6,8) are running about 10deg hotter than the odd motors(1,3,5,7) and the GPX file is showing the even motors are 6-10amps more than the odd motors. The yaw...

    Interesting article about commercial use

    http://www.buzzfeed.com/tessastuart/could-drones-have-prevented-a-deadly-hollywood-helicopter-cr?s=mobile I knew the pilot and "this happens all the time" is complete BS. Otherwise I like the article. Too bad DJI resorted to this tactic to push the agreed upon need for regulations to allow...

    Castle Phoenix ICE 75 Amp ESC with Pletty 15-20

    Ok, has anyone tried this combo yet? I'm considering it. I really like the construction of the Pletty with the bearing config and how smooth they are. I have a set of ZOAR 15x5 and the APC 14x4.7 props. This is for my SJ8. I have the 5300 5S 30c packs for now. I have been using 4 in parallel...

    SkyJib and basic HL settings for MK Toolz

    OK, so my SkyJib 8 is ready to test fly. Since there's already a few flying, I'm curious as to any changes from stock settings that were made. Mostly the gains... Heavy Lifters are presumably slower to spool up and decelerate, so that would make them slow to respond. I assume that you guys...

    MK FC 2.1 ME Boot Loader

    OK, I see this on the Wiki pages and I'm not sure what it means... although I get it that they don't want China de-engineering it, the boot loader for FC2.1 is not public domain and can not be read out thanks to our good friends in china. a AtMega1284 Prozessor with programmed bootloader is...

    New Power Distro Board for High Power apps!

    This is real nice but what happens when any single component fails? Looks like you can't replace any of the individual controllers. This board cost about $1500 USD. Too bad they didn't stick with Holgers philosophy which allows replacement of individual controllers. This one has to be sent back...
