    Drone Pilots Association

    I've thought a lot about using the word drone. Used to be against it but now I'm not so sure. I don't think the public sees it as just a military thing anymore. When i go to jobs and call my rig a remote controlled octocopter they look at me like a pedantic ahole. Drone is what the public...

    I've spoken with Peter on the phone. He seems to be a passionate guy who believes in the cause. Also pretty smart. I think he's probably the right guy for the job.

    New build test flight just crashed

    Thanks for the response. I think I really have no choice but to get the 14" props now. I just feel like I keep pouring money into something that might not ever even be functional. I have to say that I'm really excited about the size of this thing. I would love to show up at a gig with a...

    New build test flight just crashed

    OK, so I ordered Hobbywing Platinum 40A escs, installed them and put her up in the air today. Just to refresh, I'm running a 650mm frame at 6S with Tiger 4014s and 15" tiger props. She flew great today - ESCs were all cool to the touch - great flight times. Only problem was that all 3 top...

    8bit vs 32bit Alexmos

    8bit vs 32bit Alexmos

    Below yaw. I messaged my supplier who said that using fc inputs wouldn't offer any additional benefits over 2 imus. Using a gh3 with 5206 motors. Stability is fine - horizon still wanders from time to time. I've done advanced calib on both imus and tried just about every gyro trust setting...

    8bit vs 32bit Alexmos

    I've noticed zero performance improvement with my 32. Very disappointed and actively looking for something that can give a reasonable horizon for reasonable money.

    So my F550 fell form the sky

    I'm very close to switching to Anderson PowerPoles. It's a mechanically crimped connection and allegedly very reliable.

    Great stabilization. Looks like it has some horizon issues though. Nobody seems to have figured that out yet.

    New build test flight just crashed

    Thanks Kloner. I'll try that next chance I get. What should I use with these 4014s? I thought Maytech Simonk was supposed to be a slam dunk.

    What's better then a gopro?

    Is not Boss like the pj line of camcorders. And it is supposed to be different and improved over previous rx100 stab. This thing looks like a seriously good camera to fly.
