OK, next question... I have the HFP Black. I believe this is also called "Version 2." I'll be using a GoPro camera connected to a 900 Mhz transmitter for feed. The interface cable I purchased (from ReadyMadeRC) has a power receptacle. I connected a battery and found that the circuitry sends...

Thank you all for your responses. Re: the power filter - I read that video transmitters were particularly sensitive to noisy current, so I got one of the filters. I figured that since I was mounting it anyway, I might as well wire it into the HFP, with a PTO for power for a video transmitter...

OK, so now for a few more questions. the first concerns a DPCAV power filter. I have it mounted to the control deck (which is made of carbon fiber) with nylon zip ties. Sandwiched between the filter and the carbon fiber deck are two flattened pieces of heat shrink tubing (unshrunk) for...

Thanks, Fred. It was your advice (pusher on top, numbers up) that got me headed in the right direction and got it to all go together. Best, Ed

OK, got the props mounted and individually bench tested. All good. Now on to the next stages...

OK, great Fred. Thank you very much (again). Very much appreciate it. And that was going to be my next question - mounting propellers. I have 8 props total, APC composite propellers, 4 10 by 4.7 slo flyers and 4 10 by 4.7 slo flyer pushers (so a spare for each). And I'm confused about how to...

Thank you very much! It's a distribution block I figured out by tinkering with HobbyKing XT60 connectors. It is a configuration of six of them, two sets of three side-by-side (epoxied) and then the two sets epoxied positive end to positive end for the final block of 12 total terminals. I shaved...

OK, so I completed the power distribution block and have wired all the ESCs to the requisite motors. As per the Hoverfly manual for the Y6 configuration, all top motors spin clockwise, and the bottom motors spin counter clockwise - when viewed from top down on the craft with all motors mounted...

OK, thank you Fred. Really appreciate it. More to come...

OK, so my next question: I'm programming the ESCs right now (Turnigy Plush 25 Amp, with BEC). I have a Turnigy Programming card. As per the Hoverfly instructions, I've set: Brake: Off Battery Type: Ni-xx Cut Off Type:Soft cut Timing Mode: Medium Start Mode: The Hoverfly manual states to use...

Thank you all very much! I thought that maybe there would have been a common connection (black always connects to A, and then swap B and C relative to yellow and red for CW and CCW), but apparently not. These ESCs are also BECs, so I'll just do as suggested and first just plug into throttle port...

I'm a multi-rotor neophyte who is building my first craft. I've designed and built a frame (a Y6, based on the Hoverfly Pro and Hoverfly GPS), procured all requisite components, and I'm now completing the project. Please pardon my ignorance - and thank you in advance to anyone who responds to...
