Been using KDE's three blade prop adapters for a while - they are awesome. We used them on Insurgent for flying a Red Scarlet around and they worked great. Glad to see that more sizes will be available directly from KDE. They build darn good motors too.

Been working like crazy lately. More answers to come...

Lots of verbal communication between my camera op and I. We use the yaw on the 3 axis gimbal a lot. We've just had a lot...
