    Advice needed for Quad flying: what are the common causes of crashes n how to avoid..

    For MK, after every few flights and hard landings, be sure to check out the legs of pressure sensor. If it's broken, and if you turn on altitude hold, it will fall like a rock.

    FPV advice needed on power supply + Antenna

    I have 5.8 GHz 200mw FPV system. With high gain antenna, I can reach maximum 1 km range. No more. It's one of the HobbyKing cheapest solutions. And it should be at line of sight. For better range, 1.2GHz or even 900 MHz solutions are recommended. I always use a second battery, 2-cell 1300 mAh...

    Q4 Y6 frame: I need details

    "Q4 Y6 Unique" design is attractive and I think it doesn't differ much from conventional multirotor design. You can easily add a protection dome like in the picture, as I did before: http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?907-Custom-Aliminium-Dome-Protector It's very simple, you can...

    Q4 Y6 frame: I need details

    What details did impress you? I have some drawings, I'm not sure if they are Q4 Y6 frame. I'm going to check. That frame consists of lots of pieces. So don't be sold how it looks :) I'd prefer round booms with classic center plates and a custom dome protection for stifness.

    Mikrokopter MK octo

    Vario Alt Hold is very useful once you learn how to use it. Just make sure you assign a two-way switch for AH function. Once you are 20 meters high, you can turn it on and see how it goes. After a few flight, of course :) My brand new FC's pressure sensor legs were broken but I didn't realize...

    Mikrokopter MK octo

    As a pilot who has millions of crashes so far, I can easily say that, don't be afraid of flying of the copter. If you do ACC Calibration, compass calibration correctly and the motors & props are correctly spinning, you're good to go for the first flight. You'll be nervous with your first...

    CS8 to X8 conversion - Herkules ESC III V3

    Boris, Your payload capacity will increase approximately 1.8 times. And the current of the motors and thus the controller will also increase around the same (1.8 times more) when you use 12x3.8 props.

    Best prop for Axi 2826/12

    More info: For evaluating the prop/motor combos, xcalc is a very invaluable tool: http://www.ecalc.ch/xcoptercalc_e.htm?ecalc Using it for the first is a bit confusing but I recommend you to look at jes111's posts. Basically, select the "without Drive" option and just enter the weight of your...

    Thank you Gunter. Yes I'm using a FPV, mainly for orientation and for chasing moving objects. Without FPV, I won't know how I'm close to the object. You should definetely wake up earlier and ofcourse with more lipo batteries :) Denny, when you have to time to visit here, just drop me a line...

    Best prop for Axi 2826/12

    Your lipo's cell count and the max continious current that your ESC can provide is important at this point. And ofcourse, your AUW is another factor here. I assume you ESC can provide 30A max. continious and your Lipo is 4S. In this case, you max prop size could be 14x4 (but you need a...

    Motor selection: Avroto 2814-11S, QC-3328, and Torxpower 3536 Pro?

    Avroto And TorxPower are the way to go. Either is OK. QC is so much expensive. As far as I know they are manufactured by the same company, Tiger Motors. I would continue to use motors what I already have currently. In case you need

    CineStar 6 WKM build

    Using very low KV valued motors(around 450-500 KV) with a 4s battery are somewhat not very practical for multirotors. You will need to put very big prop on lower KV motor to get the same amount of lift that you can get with higher KV/smaller prop. This means: * You will need longer arms in...
