Sorry, it is motor #1, not 6. I viewed the video wrong. Does that matter though, that it is #1?

Here's an update. I switched the #5 motor with the spare one I had. I flew it this morning and it flew beautifully, I had the 15" props on. However on start up I saw some hesitation with one of the other motors. I then set up a video camera and filmed it being started and stopped several times...

Hey Vinnie, Just general maintenance or are you troubleshooting? I am having another issue with my HC800. Posting to my build thread now, please take a look and tell me what you think. Thanks

Here's another thing I did not mention to anyone. I guess I was embarrassed. The first day I flew it I got too close to a branch and hit it. Shattered the wood prop but I replaced it and thought every thing was ok. I don't remember which prop and motor it was but it very likely could have...

Yes, I did spin them and to my touch they seem to be about the same. I checked and made sure the props were balanced and they are pretty good. I am thinking of spinning the motors with no props one at a time and checking for vibrations with my Android Phone app but not sure how well that will...

I have been flying for about a week now, here are some photos of it in the air And here is some video I shot with the gimbal not powered and tied down. Sorry, there is about 20 seconds of black in the beginning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNDmfLEDptQ I am really loving this copter, so smooth.

Well this build has taken a lot longer than anticipated. I am still waiting for the WKM but the build is pretty much complete. Here you can see the landing gear, HC gimbal and battery trays. Normally the double battery tray would have two batteries attached (in parallel) but that would make...
