    Highlights from a summer shoot at Dewees Island

    Here are some highlights from a day and a half of shooting at Dewees Island, SC. This was our second trip there. We wanted to capture some summer scenery this time. It was a good test of the Hoverfly Pro and the new gimbal from R/C Rotors as it was a fairly windy shoot (typical of a small...

    Hoverfly 20mph winds on an island...

    We did two shoots recently, one in The Bahamas and one on Dewees Island. Both were fairly windy with some days blowing 15 to 20mph in the Bahamas. I had originally thought that these conditions were just too much for a flight controller, but the Hoverfly Pro performed well. I wouldn't recommend...

    XM6 tearing up the skies...

    Word on the street is that I sold the XM6 that I won. Not the case. I've definitely been flying it. I gave some neighborhood kids a flight demo just a few nights ago - fun stuff! Recently I've been experimenting with the HF GPS board on it. I'm putting it to good use and it is a quality rig.

    Alexmos hardware connectors...

    So the Alexmos board from Flyduino requires some soldering to be done. Breakaway header pins are the obvious one and those you can buy a lot of places. But I'm curious where to buy the power connector and button - where to buy each of those? Thanks for any help!

    Switch throttle curve during flight on 8fg

    My Futaba 8fg is set up in airplane mode. I would like to switch between throttle curves, but can't seem to make it work. I can only use throttle curve 1. I've figured out the myriad of features in this radio, but this one has me scratching my head.

    Hoverfly Finally gave the GPS board a try...

    So I finally gave the Hoverfly GPS board a try today. I don't have a mast for the GPS sensor yet, so I put it on the front boom. Is raising the GPS sensor necessary if I'm getting the blue LED representing a good lock? I know it is shown on a mast in the manual. I went through the manual and...
