It is, I fell for it. If you read the wing it has the name of the fx guy who did it. I spoke too soon!

Could be a fake, but if not...... Here we go!

WKM likes a cadence when switching back and forth

I'm a huge fan of X8. I set up a Vulcan frame as an XY, and it handles beautifully. The props in view did become an issue, but we've remedied that issue with all z arms. No issues with arm flex, but the bottom motor mounts must be shimmed to drop the props about 3/8 to 1/2" in order to avoid...

And here's a new one... my woman loves helis too! First one that didn't storm off in a fit of jealousy after competing for attention with my fleet.

Higher rpm's and smaller props = more stable I've built 3 different X 8 quads lately, and I'm a believer now. I love X8 configurations. My favorite to fly out of all of my copters ( helis 800 size to 450 and multis 1200 Octo to Estes micro) is my Hobby King Dead Cat frame set up as an X8. It...

I don't think that this will appear anytime too soon, but the days of GPS may be numbered. Interesting tech news : Quantum compass http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2014/05/british-mod-works-on-quantum-compass-technology-to-replace-gps-2957016.html

I've had the AMP kit, and it was ok. It's basically a set of bolt on extensions with a set of nice motors and props. After a while I bought the RCTimer 800 arms that fit DJI frames to install rather than use the cnc extensions that come with the kit. I was more pleased with the rct arms in the...

This was the mod... https://vimeo.com/45408203

When the first s800's were released there was a problem with the esc's. At first it was recommended that we jump the 6 almost microscopic resistors on each esc, then they just offered to swap the old esc's for new ones. I did it, and it was a nightmare.The problem that occurred was almost...

Jon, If I were you I'd recommend getting that scuba gear out! I have lost an s800 in a lake, retrieved it, disassembled the electronics and dried them in rice, lubed the motor bearings, and it still works beautifully. I also know of a local guy who had the same experience with a Phantom. If you...

A zenmuse will work beautifully with nothing on it. If you manipulate the camera until you find a "balanced" position, where everything will sit level, I see no reason why it wouldn't work. I've re-balanced mine after a crash, and it's really not a big deal.

Have you tried adjusting your trims?

Take a look at the Vulcan Mantis frames. Very cool! http://www.vulcanuav.com/multiframe-Mantis-Octo.html

You need to adjust the potentiometer on the pan servo. You should be able to rotate it.
