    The Ten Commandments of FPV

    9 Make sure your TX battery (JR in my case) is fully charged BEFORE you fly. If for some reason you don't and you are lucky enough that it dies while the MK is on the ground and you decide to hold the bird down to re-boot and shut down the motors stay the hell away from the spinning props.

    Transport box design looking for right material

    If you've decided to make one I also think the sign material would work well for you. I wanted a transport box months back for my Hexa and after weighing different options decided to use a recycled military electronics case. They are relatively easy to find, reasonable in cost, and very durable...

    Mikrokopter MKTools - No connection?

    As Rick has already said Windows can unexpectedly change the com port which will put you out of business. Open MKTool and check the comm address in the terminal window.

    New Japanesse Ball Drone

    I like the built in roll-cage. Looks pretty stable flying too. This very entertaining video from TV Tokyo features a new aerial robot that is designed mostly for operating inside buildings. The so-called (by the reporter) “flying ball” use a single (fixed pitch) propeller and downstream...

    Got my new frame parts in...

    That stuff your using has an uncanny resemblance to C4. Where do you mount the detonator Crash? We have a two part material that we use in the HVAC industry that once mixed with your fingers does basically the same thing. I'll bet two bits it's made by the same Co.

    Mikrokopter How Complicated is the Transitation to MK tried of problems with my HoverFly Pro

    Michael64 if you want to get familiar with the handling AeroSim makes a sim that supports the Quad, Hexa, and Octo. You can start flying even before you get the MK.

    Shipping Containers???

    Go to eBay and look for Hardigg Military cases. The military throws these cases out of airplanes so they are sturdy.

    Ditch it as a flight pack, or use it for testing purposes.

    Mikrokopter Sim that supports MKs and FPV

    Just wanted to add that there is now a simulator called AeroSim that supports the MK platforms be it a Quad, Hexa, or Octo. It's much less expensive to crash on a sim learning than with the actual MK. You can brush up your flying skills even before purchasing a MK. It also has the ability...

    Whats this?

    Everything that flies carries an expiration date. Unfortunately we never know what that date is until the crash.

    Mikrokopter What is my next step??

    If you don't want to use a cardboard box for the level calibration it's pretty easy to make one of these from some scraps of wood. Mine hangs on the wall in the workroom when not in use. Guess you could turn it upside down for a Heli Pad to practice landings too.

    Motor testing and rewinding info

    OK since we're talking bout motors it looks like in the process of attempting to remove the stator on one of my Roxxy motors it was deformed. Guess I used too much force with the mounting screws. Before I waste a lot of time taking all the original wire off the stator can the stator be...
