    Motor Bearing Press Tool

    Andy the closest Tiger motor is the 2814-11. Case sizes all match, bit different on some of the specs. That is what I plug into ecalc for reference.

    Motor Bearing Press Tool

    According to the Tiger Motor website 2814 has a 4mm dia shaft while the 3515 has a 5mm shaft. Tiger doesn't list the bearing diameter on their website. Looked at Boca Bearings. Specs from their site for the 3515 are ID 4mm x OD 11mm x Width 4mm Dimensions. Specs from their site for the...

    Hoverfly GPS and Data Log question

    George Thanks. I had opened the SD card on my Mac and didn't see the files. Reopened on VMWare and found the logs. Has anyone taken the time to write a program to extract the lat/lon/altitude to put it into a KML format or something similar so that it can be displayed in Google Earth?

    Hoverfly GPS and Data Log question

    First, wow the HF is Smoooth. Got the GPS mounted and did the final calibration this morning. Rock solid as I have it dialed in. Even AH is solid using a piece of foam over the sensor and sandwiched between the Pro and GPS boards. Now a couple of questions. GPS - I've got a GPS lock, Green...

    Hoverfly Pressure Sensor Foam - How to mount

    Finally got everything setup on my Cinestar as I change from an MK stack to HF. Trying to dial in AH. Got a bit exciting the first couple of settings as it shot for the moon. On the MK they have always suggested foam over the pressure sensor (different design) and it makes a difference as it...

    Hoverfly New Hoverfly PRO Firmware v4.6

    I'd like to add to what George says about the compass calibration. Coming from the MK world the HF process is very similar. I can tell you that any ferrous metal will affect the outcome. On the MK machines the software actually checks the compass and magnetic values and if they are not in...

    Insurance Companies? - PD/PL & Equipment

    In insurance terms you are 'naked'. And since many clients want an insurance certificate, at least they do for still photography, what are you going to do?

    Mikrokopter SkyJib 8 problmes

    D plugged your numbers into ecalc at 17kg and it says that you will have a motor case problem, max current over the motor rate using the 4 batteries in parallel. Changing to just a single battery it says that you are over current limit. Send a note to Kopterworx and they may be able to give...

    Camera sensor cleaning

    Bart Easy to do with the right tools. I have used the swabs/fluids from VisibleDust (www.visibledust.com) for years. Everything from my Sony NEX7 to my very expensive Hasselblad. Their fluid has a bit of antistatic ability. Swabs and fluid to clean and the Artic ButterFly brush system for a...

    What do you think???

    Stupid question but have you asked MaxAmps? Since they custom build maybe they would offer a re-build replacing the defective cell?

    CarbonCore Octo 1000 setup???

    Tomas Great flight. I plugged your data into eCalc and must be doing something wrong. At 10.3kg with your other data points the results say you are 96% throttle to hover. Hope that wasn't the case. Any more data points that you can share or is eCalc that far off?

    How to hijack a Drone!

    This was in the news in the US about a month ago. This team also recently testified before the US Congress. But there seems to be some type of agenda going on from the researchers. Think about it. Their premise is that civilian GPS can be spoofed unlike military which can and often is...

    Scorpion motors on Cinestar?

    Benjamin Interesting. But keep in mind that the weight is higher than the KW8's and there is no 6mm prop shaft adapter (says it has a 5mm) which would add to the cost. KW8 would be about $ 117 each. Matjaz earlier told me they are 710Kv.
