    XAircraft what is that smell

    No it wasn't, but once you read the instructions a few times you'll realise flashing different firmwares is pretty straight forward. If you read the website you might get confused as a lot of the info is aimed towards MK, which got me all confused. But wiring is simple for non MK.

    MantaRay collective pitch 1230mm Multirotor Prototype

    With variable pitch, the FC can react to the wind faster, because its not speeding up and slowing down motors. Which is why SRH are more stable in wind over multis.

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Coaxial X4 problem

    Make sure you do the motors up tight, I had an issue with week where i realised the motor mounts had slipped, maybe they have been bumped in transport or in the office.

    Motor angle dihedral What’s the deal with this?

    Would it be possible to to shim a coaxial set up? Seeing as flight controllers need the motors to be perfectly level when in coax configuration to be happy. Is there a way to do it?

    DJI Spreading Wings S1000 Octocopter is coming!

    On another note, 15" props 20000mah batteries and 10kg doesn't add up to 19 minutes flight time. Seems a bit optimistic?

    12V BEC for 6s?

    I was trying to stay away from it, as i dont need such a large BEC for my FPV gear. I actually bought the smaller normal version of the CC BEC thinking it could output 12V only to realise that only the pro version did.
