    Hoverfly Something Big?

    The first link is something quite old. The vimeo video of the LiveSky gives us an idea of where their time has been spent, that looks like a product well down the development phase and could be a success for them in the right applications. I hadnt noticed that video before, thanks. Its also...

    Hoverfly Something Big?

    Im looking at the Super X as well. Not for the GPS to be fair but because I want a decent FC that doesnt take up a ton of space in my waterproof experiments. Will be very interested in how you find it. I have an HFP in a small Y6 at present which is great fun. Im trying out a friends HF GPS...

    This is a quite massively different situation to the quadpowered mess.

    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS saved my ship! I nearly had a Heart Attack! 2013 Demo Reel.

    I have the AL perfectly tuned. Dead calm day here so got it done. i have run out of time to test the GPS again so will have to wait till the weekend. Kind of trying to work out what use the GPS would be to me on a calm day, my X8 once the AL was tuned just sat in one spot without moving, no GPS...

    Thanks JZ, I had missed that last step so will revisit it again as soon as the wind drops a bit.

    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS saved my ship! I nearly had a Heart Attack! 2013 Demo Reel.

    Thanks, that makes perfect sense. I was trying to give it a go in windy conditions and had trimmed the AL in that so it wasnt perfect. I will go through it again as soon as the wind dies. Cheers

    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS saved my ship! I nearly had a Heart Attack! 2013 Demo Reel.

    Ok, next silly question... I have the same firmware running on the GPS and the HFP board. I have been able to do the temperature, accelerometer and temperature calibrations successfully. I have been able to do the compass calibration successfully outside and the correct checkboxes work at the...

    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS saved my ship! I nearly had a Heart Attack! 2013 Demo Reel.

    Thanks for that, I worked it out so thats all done. The next problem I have is that right now I cant do the compass calibration however my understanding is that the HFP should still be able to fly even if the GPS board is in place but the functions not being used. Is that correct? What is...

    Question regarding calibration of GPS board. A friend of mine has lent me his GPS board to try out. He has never actually used it so doesnt know for sure. Im a little confused with respect to doing the temperature calibration. I have happily got the hang of this on the HFP board but in the...

    KK Flight Controller Help with KK2 please

    The hammers were just a joke. Lots of us use the KK2 boards, probably the best value board around. Lots of us started out with the original KK board that we had to put together ourselves from a kit with all the components loose.

    KK Flight Controller Help with KK2 please

    He will eventually wander over Bart although his thread over there is now a number of years and there will be an emotional connection because of that. I have to say he has a great sense of humour, his youtube channel is full of funny stuff.

    XAircraft XAircraft America

    Those 2 videos are a great help thanks. I use my multis for stills work and wind performance is important even for stills. Where i live its breezy most of the time and even though stills requires basically the ability to hold a spot to get a photo you still have to get there and back as well as...

    XAircraft XAircraft America

    Thanks, yeah I saw that but unfortunately it doesnt tell me much. I can get my KK2 board to hover in one spot in calm conditions. Im not sure if people using multi's for work spend most of their time hovering in one spot. I would like to know how they feel when moving, slowly and a bit faster. I...

    XAircraft XAircraft America

    I have been keeping an eye on this but havent seen a proper review anywhere. Can you give any more information on it. You have told us how much you like it but you havent told us anything about it. What is it like in manual mode, how does it handle the wind or descending? etc etc.

    Vulcan Y6 Build - Help!

    I have a set of multistar 3508 580kv motors I bought to put on a mess around quad for LOS practice. I was pleasantly surprised at their quality. Well balanced, well made and they are quiet and smooth. The set I have are too small for your needs but from my experience with this set I would...
