Hey folks. I've been scouring the web for reviews on the Hexa XL frames. I have a newly acquired MK 2.1 with all the trimmings, and will be looking to buy a frame soon. I've seen some mentions of bad vibrations for video on the MK Hexa frames, but can't determine whether that was from the older...

What's up folks. Hoping I can get some clarification on something I've been researching for the past 24 hours, and frankly, I'm starting to lose my mind... I have a set of SunnySky 3508-20 580kv motors. They are listed on the product page as "28 pole." By all accounts, it seems these would...

I'll try to make this quick: got a used tarot T-2D, it arrived w/ 1.3 firmware - somewhat working but with some jerking if it rolled to the right when testing on bench. I updated it to 1.5 (controller & motor) and the thing freaked out. It started jerking more violently and faces only...

Hey folks. Just got around to balancing the knockoff T-Motor style bolt-on props I got (I know, I know. Maybe they'll never balance - but I'm going to try). Wondering how you all are balancing the hubs? The "hub" area is so thin, I'm wondering how I could add any CA. Are you removing...

Hey folks. I'm setting up a new hex specifically for aerial video/photo use, using a taranis with the superx. On my multiwii quad I would use the rates and expo in the FC software, but since the superx doesn't have this option I'm wondering if you guys have stumbled on any decent Tx expo...

Review: DJI Phantom 2 with Zenmuse H3-2D Gimbal For the past several years, if you have been looking for a self-contained, ready to fly (RTF) quad, chances are you’ve stumbled on the DJI Phantom line of multi-rotor helicopters. Due to an active marketing campaign the Phantom line has become...

EDIT Just figured out that the left stick doesn't work on the joystick - so I can't access the advanced menu... Couple Quick questions folks: I am going to be setting up the Pixim SeaWolf PZ0514 board (only) camera with an ImmersionRC Tx. I will be powering this all off a dedicated 3S...

What's up folks? I've been busy toiling away on a couple projects, not least of which is reviewing the DJI Phantom 2 for the multirotorforums.com product reviews section. So time has been spread thin, but I have had a chance to work on a hex I've had in the works. After building up the...

Hey folks. I was doing some searching on here for info about the Taranis, and specifically the FrSky sensors available for use with the FrSky S-Port receivers. I was a little surprised to see there is no Taranis/FrSky Owners Thread. So maybe we can start one here, and continue to add to it as...

Hobby wing platinum ESC problem...or superx Need a little help here. I have a new set of hobby wing platinum pro 30A ESC that I have programmed (with the card) and done throttle calibration on (twice). Both of those procedures checked out based on the beep sequence mentioned in the manual...

Ok folks. I was asking around hoping to get a formula so I could determine the best advance timing for the ESC with 20 pole motors. If no one has a formula - can anyone give me some advice of where to start? Pancake/high pole count motors seem to need a little extra lovin' so I want to try to...

Hey folks. Awaiting delivery of some Hobby Wing Platinum Pro 30A ESCs for use with sunnysky V3508-20 motors (my first experience with pancake motors). I've been looking to brush up on PWM and timing advance settings so that I can get the ESCs setup for these motors. I cane across this formula...

Hey folks. I searched this forum and the wider web - but I can't find clarification that the superx will have no issues with Microsoft windows 8. I run Mac, but a lot of programs in running lately are windows only. So I figure it's time to step into the whacky world of Boot Camp to run these...

I began documenting this build with the frame assembly, which can be seen over in the review section. Of course, the build just starts with the frame, but I realized I had not been updating my progress, and follow-up thoughts to the choices I made for this quad... It's been about a month since...

Hey folks. Quick question: never had a DJI product before. Wondering if the Naza M inside the Phantom2 with H3-2D is the same as the typical Naza M I would buy for any other craft? Or is it a "lite" version (not to be confused with the Naza Lite!). :) just curious if I can be looking at posts...

With the new CineTank build I've been working on (you can check out the review HERE) I am using a XAircraft SuperX FC. Due to my impatience, I ended up ordering the SuperX from CNCheli (first time customer - great service) since Drew at Xaircraft America had been out of stock. The advantage...

Review: Flying Cinema CineTank MK. I Frame Kit By MotoPreserve Whether you are new to the hobby or you flew at the National Aeromodeling Championships in 1937, many of you will begin your multirotor (MR) build by choosing a frame. The choices are endless and to the uninitiated, the options...

Just saw mention of this on CNBC. Pretty good spoof.

Hey folks. If you were one of the people following my last thread, you will recall I crashed and burned the 'chopstick' quad after the cheap Hobby King Power Distro Board gave way and killed power to one of the ESCs. Since the other thread was getting quite long - and there MIGHT be some...

Hey folks, Grabbed a PDB for my quad to replace the faulty HK one that caused my crash. I notice that they are drilled with mounting holes in the exact location to mount it with my Multiwii FC. That seems like it could be a bit close to the electronics, even with standoffs - but maybe I'm...
