    Canadian suppliers for parts, kits, FPV equipment in Canada, who's good, who isn't??

    That may be, but hobby or not, if you go to the lengths that he does to get you to send an email and then doesn't respond in a reasonably timely manner, then it reflects accordingly. The original order was placed March 3rd. There still hasn't been any response whatsoever. Don't get me wrong...

    Canadian suppliers for parts, kits, FPV equipment in Canada, who's good, who isn't??

    Placed an order with CanadaDrones, with a question attached to the order. No response. Waited three days, no response. Sent 2 emails and called. No response. Filed dispute with PayPal. Vote with your wallet.

    Phantom owner spies on brother's topless GF

    What's interesting is that this type of production is exactly the content that is driving the naysayers. Irrespective of the production or authenticity. It's the intent, and the way it's been presented.

    Dealer?

    On a recommendation in a post on this very forum, last week I ordered some parts from Canada Drones in Mississauga, Ontario. I have not gotten a reply from him, and have sent three emails and called once. There has been no response at all. Is this guy for real?

    Spektrum DX8

    Nope. The MP software will activate the channel, in the servo tab via the 3dr radio link. The DX8 clearly shows the channel going high in the Radio tab. The RCSwitch will not go active from the radio.

    Slop

    It's only a true statement in as much as one needed to maintain a certain degree of modicum in dealing with the "process". The motor got replaced, and that much is great. Painless, not even close.

    HobbyKing service is great. Another motor is on the way. I'm not going to risk this platform.

    Spektrum DX8

    Pressing the scroll wheel was one of the first things that got done. Then I went through every available option in every available screen, both in the configuration and outside of it, and referenced each and every one of them to the manual. I tested changes against the initialization screen on...

    Spektrum DX8

    I have a DX8 and a PixHawk. The DX8 is set to "helicopter" at the moment, and I can find no correlation between its setup and the ability to set the channel outputs, nor what switches they reside on. Currently there is no output showing on the PixHawk for channel 8. I'd like to set channel 8 to...

    Slop

    It's radial. I noticed that there was a different sound to it when I was running the PixHawk motor tests. It feels like the shaft is ever so slightly undersized. You can't really see the deflection, but you can feel it. Given the rpm that these things turn at, I'd say that this is not an instant...

    Slop

    I got 6 Multistar motors for the Tarot, 5 are just about perfect, but one seems to have about .010" of play in the bearing. When testing the motors with the PixHawk, the sloppy one makes some noise, not electrical, but mechanical. Does anybody have any idea what kind of tolerances are acceptable?

    Pixhawk leds

    The funny thing is that their video showed the guy doing the compass dance at his desk. Being a boat guy, I can tell you that marine GPS doesn't work too well in the house, so I was skeptical. After it calibrated, the screen showed the Google Map and it not only had the location right, it showed...

    Pixhawk leds

    I fought with the compass for two days and discovered something rather interesting - the MAC version of MP has a great history file, but the PC version of MP has a MUCH better compass calibration utility, it shows you in a real time window where the thing needs to be oriented to get the reading...

    Hi from the frozen north

    Beautiful, sunny Edmonton Alberta (Oilberta?) Has anybody seen my propellers? I'd like to see them, but alas, they are not here. Yet.

    anybody know if there's a software interface that allows programming of DXx radios and then store config to sd?
