I'm trying to figure out the differences. First one is this: http://www.himodel.com/plane/JXF_13x6_inch_Beechwood_Propeller.html The other one is this: http://www.himodel.com/plane/JXF_13x6_inch_Beechwood_Propeller_for_Electric_Engine.html Is there any limitation that prevents us to...

Dave, Check out this topic: http://www.mikrokopter.us/index.php?topic=2596 The post from jm0eller points the faulty decade counters.

Hey Dave, I'm using GentLED's IR solution. It takes about a second to shoot after I release the switch on Tx. Maybe it's due to auto settings. If I take it to manuel settings and take the focus ring to infinity, things would be faster. When I use wired GentLED trigger for Canon 550D, it's...

The left side of the equation is MK3638 coloring, right side is AXI coloring. Black = Black Gray = Yellow Blue = Red So, here is the wiring for AXi motors: A = Yellow, B = Red, C = black (CW motor rotation) A = Red, B = Yellow, C = black (CCW motor rotation).

I totaly agree with your statement about carbon fiber. I built my frame using aluminium round booms but painting them was a pain. It took 2 days for me to complete the paint work. I'll consider using CF booms after this.. When the painting time added to the cheap alimunium booms, it costs me...

No, they look good!

The best way would be reading and reading. I spent about 2 months with reading before purchasing. Things you should learn / read: * Different flight controllers (Mikrokopter, HoverFly, OpenPilot, DJI Wookong-M etc.). For AP, generally Mikrokopter is used. * Multirotor setups. Octo, Hexa...

It takes time, but once I settle the scene with the help of FPV and GPS/ATT hold, I just wait the surfer pass in front of the camera and trigger the shutter. It would be hard to catch precise moments with NEX5 since the IR trigger I'm using has an enormous lag. With Canon 550D, it takes the...

I modified the RCA end of the Canon's component cable. Here is the picture of it: I only transfer the video so the other cables other than Yellow are unnecessary. I cut them and shorten the cable. Here is the original shot without the effect:

Thanks Gunter. It's easy to take shots with Canon 550D. I modified component out cable so it plugs into my FPV transmitter. So I can see what the lens of the camera see. With Nex5, I had to apply Droider's trick (put a CCD camera in front of NEX5). Flying in the wind without GPS hold would...

It's hard to move MK in high wind since it floats with the wind.I think I won't do any APV with the winds higher than 16-17 knots. I think the hard part is to land on the bird. When the wind is combined with the ground effect created by the props, I'm having hard time landing. The first two...

We had some wind again. This time 16 knots, gusting to 20 knots.

I learned something useful today and it's this!

Nice job Gunters.

If I had the visa to the UK I'd join your meeting! Maybe next time guys...

I ended up building my own but it's taking some time :) I'm using a MD2 camera mount for now but it is just for stills; not suitable for videos. The servos provided with MD2 mount (Hitec HS225MG) are not strong enough for handling a Canon 550D with a Tamron 17-50 lens. So, I can use it only with...

Hey Alex, Your mount seems very rigid but it's kind of heavy?

I wish I could attend your meeting....

What about best chasing video full of action? Of course camera should follow the object as well. It can be a car, motor, dog, kitesurf, windsurf? :)

I've ordered some Tiger Motors MT2826 for heavy lifting. I'll let you know how they work. I also own AXi 2814/22, Mikrokopter MK3638. They both run very smooth and cool.
