Two things to check. 1. Did you carefully check the balance of the copter on the ground? A static balance check? If you are out of balance then the motors that are running harder are probably on the heavy side and vice versa. see...

buy it direct. www.altigator.com Got mine in about 7 days. Works great. Easy to configure. There was a used one posted just a day or so ago. Pick that one up and save the shipping/exchange costs.

Actually for precision it looks like you have escaped since you are outside the main cell block on the eastern hill. Zooming in on Google Earth I think I see your striped jammies. Better ditch those before the swim....

Well if his location is correct that would be Alcatraz Island in San Francisco. So if Ted is really locked up might be a CON :) artist scam... Just kidding Ted. Nice location though.... I have the SmartOSD and have been very happy with the performance. Support has been good for a small...

Chris Maybe I am missing something on the link page about the Hercules BEC. Doesn't look like any of those are available for the type of amps of even the MK BL's. Looked like the highest was a 10amp continuous/20amp peak. Gary

I've had two. One is the model with a magnet at each end. Less than satisfactory results. Second which is excellent is the Du-Bro. HobbyKing looks somewhat similar to the mag that i had. They also have this one http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=7702...

Would suggest not using Loctite Blue 242. They make Purple 222 which is plenty strong for our applications. It 222 is more appropriate for small screws. Still locks it but easier to 'break' than Blue. Tougher to find but you can get it at Amazon. Gary

Also might be called a 'pico' connector. Found an interesting video over at progressiveRC.

2 pin molex check www.hansenhobbies.com He might not have them on the website but might be able to do a special order. Gotta tell you that if you are thinking of making your own that those crimp connectors are a pain in the *** to work on. Gary

Benjamin let us know what you hear back from Tabb. Just saw a couple of new videos. One where Tabb flew 18 lbs and then 30lbs of weight on a CS6. The 18 lbs was pretty spritely. Also a new vide from QC with a 5 lb weight on a CS8 with the 360 gimbal. QC posted some info on the battery...

Send a message to Quadrocopter or to Tabb directly. The answer I got steered me away. While he shows it flying it wasn't ideal. I just did some testing a couple of weeks ago. 4.5kg and flight times were short and was drawing about 100amps total. I saw they just a test of the system with...

Bart I've been running my CS8 on the latest, probably about 2 weeks after it came out. I think there have been two versions of .88. I am on the latest .88m and haven't had any problems. .88e was for Hott V3. .88m is for Hott V4. Upgrade straight forward (screen shots of existing config or...

Send Casey a note and see if he will do a flight with the stab turned off on the GH2 and the Sony. He has a website at www.4to400.com Gary

Here you go Soaringclauz, an early Santa present. https://vimeo.com/43289043 CX730/760 have minor differences (GPS?) Gary

Benjamin, also interested in how this works out for you. A bit more detail please. Switching from what props currently (APCSF 14x4.7?) and the motor (standard QC3328?)? Gary

I think this was answered elsewhere but the folks at quadrocopter.us (Jeff) tested this. While it starts out insanely fast between 10 and 20 meters it slows down. Holger posted something similar. The trouble is having the nerves of steel to allow your investment to truly enter the...

Depends greatly on solar activity. I an attest that if things are into the yellow on the attached website things begin to act strangely and if it is in the RED stay on the ground or don't use GPS at all. http://www.n3kl.org/sun/images/noaa_kp_3d.gif?

Twister, agree. The stills were rather poor and you can't shoot a still while in movie mode. I am primarily a still photographer. Have the Sony NEX-7 and a Nikon D800e on order. Probably will trade out the NEX7 for the D800 since most of my images are printed 36-90 inches wide. Gary

Jess can you do the ecalc as a PDF? JPG is unreadable. Gary

So vislaw you are right it isn't CGI. Got a nice note from the art show who pointed me the gallery that represents the artist. http://www.st-artgallery.nl/index.html. Can't tell from the latest creation what the heck a 'Proctorcopter" is. Probably don't want to know. With so many scams on...
