    Oh man I want that setup, retracts and all! I'm looking to build a hex to carry my Nex5 camera with a 3 axis brushless gimbal so I would need the retracts for a 2 man setup. Don't suppose you have more specs on your setup?

    XAircraft SuperX XHex

    That looks like a really nice setup. I need to build up a Hex to carry my Nex5 Camera with 3 axis gimbal. I'm still looking into the best combination of motors, props, and escs. Glad to hear you like your setup. What do you carry with your Hex? I've got my Super X on my big quadcopter with a 3...

    XAircraft My Xaircraft SuperX Experience and Observations

    I do recall the Gaui days pretty fondly, seems you got a lot better results from it than I did. I just kept crashing, my very first FPV flight with it is still on my youtube channel, fun to watch all 13 seconds of it and remember what I was going through. I'm actually not a very good LOS pilot...

    Hoverfly HF vs Xaircraft

    Agreed! It's almost like a support group of people discussing how to get over a loss or addiction... hehe :) How best to move on and with whom!

    Hoverfly HF vs Xaircraft

    Here's a video of my FPV maiden flight with my Super X. This is the same setup I've been flying with a Hoverfly Pro. It flew every bit as smooth and I haven't even tried to do any tuning, the default is perfect. There was some wobble on fast descent but not anymore then when my Hoverfly was on...

    Actually the altitude held really well throughout my GPS tests. The problem with the GPS+Yaw was that it moved around in about a 3 foot circle while doing the yaw. But I agree, a few feet of variance at higher altitudes isn't even noticeable. Be prepared for a heavy dose of that field and my...

    XAircraft My Xaircraft SuperX Experience and Observations

    Yep, nothing terribly exciting as it's my usual test field, it was a beautiful day today and I had the day off so I flew. I did fly it around pretty fast and low to the ground so I gave it a good workout. I have to say that the SuperX flew every bit as smooth as my Hoverfly Pro in manual mode. I...

    Hoverfly HF vs Xaircraft

    I just did some fast flying FPV in my usual test field and I'm happy to say the SuperX felt every bit as smooth as my Hoverfly Pro on this same machine. Altitude hold and GPS hold were AMAZING. I almost messed myself when I hit return to home and it landed by itself better than I ever have and...

    For me it's just different than what I'm used too. Also they seem to spin a little fast, but I guess that means don't get near it... hehe. I know I've done some stupid things with my HF when it's armed. Can't do that with the superX and props spinning. Probably saving me from myself :)

    Hmmm... might be something wrong on your end? From the SuperX Manual: Flight Control Motor Start/ Stop Follow diagram as below: Push sticks both down-inside or down-outside to start motors, then motors are running slowly. If the motors do not start after the operation, please check wiring of...

    Hoverfly HF vs Xaircraft

    I was scared of the random flyaway :) And I wanted something easy to setup, like Hoverfly.

    That's crazy and impressive. I didn't realize a quad could carry such a payload.

    Holy crap that guy is carrying a Sony Nex camera with an x650 quad? Nice flying indeed. Hopefully I'll get a chance to take mine out tomorrow and give it a go!

    Oh man I ordered that dome long ago... sorry I can't remember where. It's not very strong, I think it's made out of the same material 2 liter pop containers come in. Very flexible not rigid. Keeps the rain out though. Sorry, not much help :(

    I have seen the iPad ground station SuperX preview videos, that looks pretty impressive. Finally a cool use for my iPad :)

    David, good to hear I'm not the only one blinded by the light... hehe :) I'm always surprised at the range of ages I come across in this hobby. Young kids all the way up to Grandpas! Hope you have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as well! I look forward to getting assistance in...

    XAircraft My Xaircraft SuperX Experience and Observations

    To be honest I'm not sure if this setup will need much if any tuning. I didn't see any oscillations and it seemed really stable. Fast forward flight will tell though :) My Rx is actually an EZUHF but the Host radio is a Dx8, so the spektrum setup guide would probably have been applicable :) Now...
