    Stuck for a decision

    X650 is a royal pain in the rear to work on ie change ESC's and theres too much play in the booms which can allow the motors to go off plumb while handling or after a prop strike and produce unwanted yaw. On the plus side its quite light and bloody solid, oh and it folds. The hex looks nice..I...

    Remote shutter setup

    Funny that, as I type I'm just working on CHDK firmware install for my canon p&s so I can use GentwireUSB As it looks likes a certain elusive XA reseller in the US is never going to send me my bought and paid for XA mount trigger mech.

    Ecilop, Whats brewing there ?

    My bandwidth could'nt keep up with the guys chatter!! Love the parachute! been thinking of ways of rigging an emergency parachute. lets face it, an MR is just a dropped object in waiting. This is what I hate about them. Anyone know of any chute systems on the market? There must be some within...

    An Observation

    Its a bit like slow flight with fixed wing. It get a little more similar to fixed wing flight when you get into fast forward flight, like when a heli gets into translational flight.

    CNC Kreative camera mount from Germany

    I have seen some footage taken at a disused airport in Germany from a guy called Markus I think. I'm sure its the Kreative mount he is using and it looks awesome. I'm having a similar problem with my XA mount in that I get slight play in the roll axis. the tray is mounted on the roll axis shaft...

    XAircraft XAircraft Camera Mounts !!! In-Stock !!! XAircraft USA

    Anybody getting any descent result with the new mount? For the life of me cannot get rid of the jitters, just wonder if the gopro is too light for it. Anyone tried the MC6500? http://www.foxtechfpv.com/mc-6500-pro-dual-axis-cam-mount-p-395.html I wonder if the direct linkage is preferable to...

    Need Flight Control Info

    Just go for the DJI Naza, perhaps a little more than $150 but has baro Alt hold. personally I love the Gaui GU344, I think it has an awesome feel in cruise (nor) mode.

    30 Min flight time whit fully packed octo

    Ken, Now having a little experience of camera mounts (I have the new XA 2X mount) I have to say that is impressive. What servos do you use on that Hi Sight? Do you think its the servos that give you such precise response or the controller? Steve

    another wkm/flamewheel build

    Thanks Plingboot. I guess if they work with WKM they should work with Naza, unflashed.

    another wkm/flamewheel build

    Nice rig. does flashing the ESC's make a big difference, I was thinking of using plush ESC's on my F450/Naza due to low cost and plentiful availability within UK, but was'nt planning on flashing them. Kinda worried about messing up and not being able to revert to default. Does it increase the...

    XAircraft Calibration AHRS-S

    Are you motors all plumb, it is possible to have them slightly off vertical this could explain your left drift, worth a mention and a check. Mine were ever so slightly off plumb after the initial build. I know it does make a hell off a difference, I had one boom skew whiff on my Gaui so the...

    XAircraft Calibration AHRS-S

    Connect XA centre and check your pitch and roll figures, are they zero..ish? If not recalibrate it and watch your pitch and roll figures, do they hover around 0? Mine used to steadily increase until I updated the firmware.

    Hi there, New member in Lancashire UK

    Hi Rob, BMFA route is no longer an option. BMFA want give commercial UAS a wide berth. BNUC-S is a little overpriced but Euro USC are the only show in town so thats natural. Its not too costly if you consider it as what is is, a professional certificate that will allow you to operate...

    XAircraft Calibration AHRS-S

    I take the skids off and rest it on a level floor on the bottom prop nuts, If you have trouble with the AHRS maintaining calibration then use update firmware option in XA Centre. that was my experience anyway.

    XAircraft X650v Tech help please?

    As far as I know the only exchange opportunity is the one linked to by Fajar. I believe this ends at the end of this month though. You can either buy the P and V2 versions for half price or exchange your S versions and pay $60 for the upgrade. shipping on both is $50. Was told by Jingchen that...

    Droidworx ADX3 or AD6 Hexa?

    Yeah thats something I have kind of subconciously twigged on to as well through YT/Vimeo, it does seem the more motors the more stable the video, but I think only applies in the flat configuration. I have an X8 but its no more stable than my quad. I think its a trade off and compromise as is...
