I think I've got the flight log loaded here: http://log.xaircraft.cn/#2014_04_06_131547.570_68.1.04.39 I've since tried to fly this as a quad, but I had no control at all when it became airborne. Next attempt was with main gain at .9 and atti gain at 80% and it turned over on takeoff. I seem...

I got really frightened by the GPS. At first it worked great, then one day I switched to GPS mode and my flight controls reversed - yes, that's right, right stick became left and left became right. It was a very strange sensation. I then switched GPS off but elevator and aileron still caused...

I've tried some other flight controllers as well and still prefer the Hoverfly. I do hope they get the GPS going. I'm not interested in flying GPS, but sure would like the reassurance of a working RH function.

Thanks, that clarifies things for me. From reading the manual, I assumed the the gain on the knob was a sub trim for the main gain, but it sounds like it's actually a separate gain. I use a DX8 transmitter and a single operator system so I planned to use the dial (aux 3) for camera tilt. I...

I haven't tried other props. I live at 6,000 feet and wasn't completely sure where I'd end up for AUW, but the 16s seemed about right on e-calc. My hunch is that there's just so much mass hanging on the frame that it looks and feels vulnerable to wobble - I know that doesn't sound very...

I think my next step will be to try the Super-X on a flat 8 and see how that goes. Just to be clear I was getting footage that could be usable if stabilized, but if I'm going to be flying a camera like the Blackmagic I don't want to compromise with a slightly shaky shot.

Thanks Paul. The Hoverfly was showing the correct "armed" lights, but I did not describe it accurately. I finally tracked the problem down to a refusal to bind completely to a DX8. That's a first for me. I finally tried another radio and problem solved. I've sure had a lot of time on that...

Thanks Ryan. My usual strategy for getting the motors level is to first level the entire frame on a table with shims under the wheels until it's perfect in all directions. Next I make sure the flight controller is level as well and when I mount the motors I put a level on the motor mount as...

I've recently tried the Super-X on X8 built to carry a Blackmagic 4k. The frame is purpose built to carry Red Epics, an even heavier camera. It has not gone well, so I would appreciate any advice. The AUW is 20 lbs, Freefly 40 am escs and PDB, Tiger 4012-480kv motors, 16 inch APC props. The...

I've been away from overfly for awhile and I can't get my props to turn. I go through the left stick, right stick initialization and get the rapid red light indicating that it's armed, but when I throttle up - nothing. When I move the throttle above about twenty five percent the beeping that...

I just built an X8 with Super X. It's my first coaxial, so not much to compare it to, but it's worked okay. I've got about twenty flights with it so far. The GPS works great and the return home works great, but I haven't been able to get it to fly as smooth as the Hoverfly, but with the cost...

Thanks, that sounds like a great idea. The ESCs that I'm using are Freefly, but that's not much help because they don't reveal who makes them and they don't have any info on them on their website.

yes, I've watched the video and calibrated successfully. I think I've found the answer! Though I calibrated the ESCs to the throttle throw on my Spektrum DX8 transmitter, it seems that for some reason the ESCs still thought they were not at the zero setting when I connected the battery and...

Well, I'm feeling pretty stupid after reading all of these posts about how easy SuperXis to set up. At first, all seemed easy enough. I assembled and got through all of the calibrations successfully. On the first flight, a very light helicopter barely lifted off the ground and I later assumed...

Thanks Drew! For those who are doing this procedure, I was a little unsure about cutting the hot wire on ESC. I found others were able to pull the center pin out of the ESC connector and tape it to the wire so if they need to use the ESCs on another system, it's relatively straight forward to...

I'm building an X8 and haven't been able to find the best ESC settings for the SuperX flight controller. The options: Brake (Off, I assume) Battery type (NiMH, I assume, so ESC doesn't shut down if voltage low) Cutoff Mode (soft, I assume) Start Mode ??(options are normal, soft, very soft)...

Thanks for the advice guys. It was also pointed out to me that the OSD has a throttle percentage on screen, so it should be easy enough to watch the percent throttle and know if you're ascending or descending slightly.

I'm hoping my Super-X flight controller will arrive this week. I fly fpv for filming and wanted to know if people that are flying fpv in "Atti" mode have tried using the centering spring for the throttle. Seems it might the nice to know when you're holding elevation when you're flying with the...

I'm interested. How do I reach you? Shane

Drat, the main reason to go with SuperX for me was to fly from a steel boat because other flight controllers will not initialize on a moving platform. Unfortunately, steel boats are the only option in the area I need to fly. Obviously, GPS and return home are of no use when you are flying from...
