    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS is much better now

    thanks. Roughly how long does it take for it to establish enough sats? I found the last firmware i tried gps on took forever which was part of why I ditched it all together.

    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS is much better now

    Thanks but I am confused, you said at first you never used it on a 30+ lb ship then you said you flew 100+ hours on a 30+ lb ship??? :)

    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS is much better now

    Is the 4.8 firmware safe to say as "safe" as the 4.3.8? I still have not upgraded from this and have been afraid. I dont ever plan on adding gps but I would be interested in a reliable AH or an active AH. I know they have been working on this but when i read Hoverfly themselves say " some...

    Thanks Bart! The new MRF menu is awesome!

    I do. I now see 1 ad on top of the videos. Whatever, it doesnt bother me at all. Maybe it's just me.

    Latest Flight testing of CARVEC Brushless Gimbal Controller & Photohigher AV200IDD

    Was the intention of swapping the gear roll and belt driven tilt to friction drive due to precision or the little gear clicks you could feel when it moved about? My roll has never been perfectly smooth the whole way around so this would make sense. But seems like the added friction needed to...

    I think that was the first time I've ever seen a timelapse of un boxing where someone was watching an Un boxing video. There was a quick clip of un boxing on your screen,right?

    How to interpret motor spec sheets

    I've always gone off the theory that if you can hold them that you are safe temp wise. Some of my helis have been barely warm and others have been on the warmer/hot side. Although the motors get warm they have never really worried me as I know it's not that hot as far as things go. It's the...

    How to interpret motor spec sheets

    In looking at the Tiger motor spec sheet for the 2814-11's, this applies to all motors, the voltages are rated at their lowest safe voltage for that cell count. i.e. 4s is 14.8, 6s is 22.2. When a lipo is fully charged you are flying at 4.20 volts to start with minus voltage drop so are they...

    When did Align enter the multi world?

    I'm still waiting for someone to start selling chicken heads as flight controllers. (yes I've seen the videos) :)

    When did Align enter the multi world?

    Looks like a copy of the Sky Hero to me. I wonder what kind of FC they are using? Most likely their own. Will be interesting to see how it compares.

    My Crash Reel - you know you want it

    It will sorta do that wobble if the gains were very low, like you entered 10 instead of 100. A loose prop nut? Bad esc or power distribution wiring/solder joint is possible too.

    LiPo battery charger

    So is the icharger. but again, dont think the cheaper chargers arent gonna do a good job balance charging. That B6AC has 10 different names on it but it is $60 and works great. And super nice to have it plug in without the massive power supply. I now have 2 power supplies, a 306b and a...

    Is it normal for Zippy's to feel soft?

    I have only had 2 puffy cells and they actually seemed hardish after they puffed on one and the other was like jelly. So I dont really know how to guage it by feel. I will say that it feels more like a piece of foam as to puffed because it only pushes in about 1/8" or less before it is firm...

    GH4 is shipping

    No doubt the auto features are very good on most modern cameras. But if you get used to using it you will one day find you were in a rush and come back to everything looking green or some very off color. And unless you are shooting in RAW, it's trash. I do timelapse photography and you have...

    Connectors

    I was using xt60's. But I just switched to ec5's. How the heck do you get the male bullets in the female housing!?!?! With the male on the lipo I was able to use the retained heat to help snap it in place but I still can't get the esc side to snap in. Part of the problem is that I am adding them...
