Ok, well that was a productive post electro. Makes more sense that way. What I would like to know is, aside from bec or opto, if the fc cares what esc you use. I would think the combination is most important to be compatible between motor and esc, not fc and esc. The fc is outputting the same...

Y6 is all around better except for reduced flight time. Its the best in wind, you never see props in view on forward flight, great redundancy on any controller, easy to tell orientation in air, fits in car pretty well, only 3 arms to take off for travel or replacement, allows huge props. The...

In this day and age of world commerce its not like the one english speaking person in China has to be the one to edit their manuals. Why the hell cant they just pay someone in the country the product is destined to ship to and have them edit the manual?? it's pretty easy. "You can make easy...

some people actually enjoy being guinea pigs at the sake of being the first to have a product. I'm the opposite, I like tried and true.

Thanks but I got some on the way. of course they wont be here until the day AFTER my shoot. ugggg. always keep good lipos on hand! :)

were going to start seeing unique i.d. beacons anytime here. I'm assuming the controller manufacturers are going to be forced to add firmware that will disable the drone if the i.d tag is tampered with. Maybe they can work on making the driving exam a little more difficult while they are at it.

Is there a rough cost estimate for those esc's? You think they will be available within the next 1-2 months? With all the esc/motor compatibility issues going around I am going to wait to buy the motors until these ESC's are out and tested by a few people.

Why isn't Drew responding on the forums to these questions? That always worries me. I think I am gonna hold out for the Synapse before being another test pilot for more Chinese products. These kinds of problems should be addressed in the manuals, in clear english. there is no excuse to...

I was in a crunch and bought some semi used gens ace lipos. The IR is around 10-15/cell. I can balance charge them to 4.2/cell and they seem to hold which is good. But Im not sure I like the high IR reading. I also impulsively bought some Zippy lipos the guy said they have less than 10...

were they burning grass on 4/20? :)

I'm not convinced that any immediate regulations will keep the 100's of 1000's of amateurs from accepting money for oddball gigs. It's not like you have to take-off from an FAA airport to get one in the air. There are many many projects on closed course locations that no one would ever know...

Yes it was. My post was less about Castle than what I was told about wanting a "dumb" esc.

It may be silly. I really dont know what makes some esc's work and some not. But this was exactly what Al from Hoverfly told me when asking him what the best esc's were. I do remember the problem with Castle was temporary, maybe a firmware issue at the time.

Allow me to divert from the usual banter, since it's kind of a pointless task to get someone who is not on this forum to charge more for their quad footage. What are your thoughts on asking the production company to take liability on your flights? As I have backed off substantially from flying...

As it was explained to me, you dont want a "smart" esc. Unlike aircraft you want the esc to do what it is told immediately without correcting or modifying the command. This was why the castle's were actually NOT a good esc for a lot of controllers on multirotors, Something like the plush or...

If this was Shark tank and I was an investor, I would say "what are you really doing that is different from what everyone else is doing?" Also, multi copter has a "t" in it. It's not multicopper, and for that reason I'm out.

Top gun quote: "Tell me something Maverick, are you a good pilot?" "I can hold my own". "Good, then I don't have to worry about you making money as a singer." only now now im thinking we might be better taking singing lessons.

My plush worked famously with my hoverfly pro and 2814's.

I just sold a helicopter and gave away all my 4s lipos. I was planning on eventually switching over to 6s but in the meantime wondered if I might be able to purchase some decent lipos from the tribe here. I'm a fan of Gens Ace but anything that has a decent rep and mild use will do. They have...

Love that movie. :)
