Can you post the Arduino mods. I have a drone that I was going to sell but if this mod is simple then this may become my new FPV practis drone instead.
1001,
Thanks for doing the testing. I am currently using APC 14x4.7 props on my cinema series hexa. Do you know if Xoar has counter rotating 3 blade props? If so I think I will buy some and compare video. My motors are Axi 2820/14. I can hard mount my gopro to get the most vibrations possible...
BorisS,
Sorry it took so long to get back with you. I haven't put a watt meter on my hexa yet to tell you the current draw is. I am running APC 14x4.7 sf props with 2x 5800mah batts. I'm getting 10 minute flights with 2.5 lbs strapped to. My throttle is around 35% with these props. I almost...
Gunter,
I have the Aducopter board, Xbee, Gps but instead of buying the RTF system I bought just the electronics. I hear good things about it but there is a learning curve for adjustments. If I were to do it again I would buy the RTF version from JDrones an just transfer the electronics. I did...
I look forward to the finished product. These aircraft are cool. I onced poo pooed them because I was a heli guy and I didn't understand them but I really see a place for them now and feel that they are here to stay whether it is sport flying or professional.
I have the full Arducopter set up, Xbee, GPS but was scared away by my difficulty connecting to the mission planner and not knowing if code was loaded correctly or not. I bought a small quad frame to test it on instead of mounting it on my $5000 Droidworx Cinema Series-C6. So far I have not put...
Here is an option that is working well for me. Zeal Tape gyro antivibration gel. Link http://www.heliproz.com/prodinfo.asp?number=138006 It is sold online aroun d the world just google it. A few small pieces works. Once it sets for a few day it really is stuck and if you are not comfortable you...
Hey for those who are interested in the copper washer distro harness. Harbor Freight Tools in the US sells a box of assorted copper washers for $7.00. Here are some more photos. I used bare pcb board or plastic to separate the + and - sides then wrapped the whole unit with rescue tape.
That thing is huge then. How do you transport it without a van? I am very curious about where my best throttle speed should be in relation to motor efficiency.
I am so impressed by these machines. I was tweaking my stabilization a couple days ago and testing my gopro when I flew between 2...
That's pretty good Yuri. Yeah my wife and daughter refer to me as Tinkering Tom when I go to the garage to work on something. But dig this, my wife wants me to get out of the film industry and into AP work. It is almost criminal the amount of money that I have spent over the past 5 years. I feel...

A good friend of mine sold me a crappy little fixed pitch helicopter a few years ago. A better friend of mine told me to throw it off of my roof then jump on it til I was sure that it was broken. He said that it would save me thousands of dollars and hours of...
Power distrobution
Just for ideas here are some pictures of my Droidworx Cinema Series-C6 hexacopter power distro build. It was an easy solder job is compact and seams to work quite well. I have already had to replace a couple of esc's. It is pretty easy with a good soldering iron. That self...

Here is a very basic question from a multirotor noobs. My background is with helicopters. I have a couple dedicated Maxi Joker 2 camera ships. I feel that the multirotors fill a niche that helicopters can't, i.e. tight flying spaces, near people and to be able to use cameras with cmos...
