I want to get one too :) ! Ken, Boris, I'll be glad to hear your first impressions when you build the birds with DJI.

It's where OpenPilot CopterControl board gets into play.

Great info guys! I decided to built my own camera mount system. But until then, I bought a MD2 camera mount for taking photos.

I strongly recommend Graupner 11x5 props. I'd never ever put cheap EPP props to my copter. I had the same mistake but I changed them before I had a crash.

The peak current that Herkules II can provide is around 100A. I don't know where I read but the provided continious current is around 60A. So, if you look at the specs of Pulso 4120 series, which are identical with AXi in terms of specs, max current needed for the motor is around 55Amps. This...

I'm also in the process of building heavy quad. I think I'll go with Hercules II since it eleminates the wiring needed. I don't like the ESCs hanging around the arms or the center plates. I also own IC2 to PWM converter and HobbyKing 60A ESCs. I'm going to build a setup with these parts to...

Hey guys, Anyone tried this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxKOCP8-ZUM

Sorry for the wrong title, I can't change it :(

Hello everyone, I own Graupner MX-22 and Spektrum DX8 transmitters. I replaced the batteries with Lipo versions. For Graupner MX-22 I bought this one: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=6955 For Spektrum DX8...

Hello everyone, I'm looking for used camera gimbal, it can be AV200, AV130 (with 360 pan kit) or any other camera mount systems compatible with either MK frames or Droidworx frames. It can be used, brand new. I can pay with paypal. Thanks.

Hello, I also own both MK QuadroXL and Droidworx AD6-HL frames. Let me summarize with cons and pros: MK Frames Pros: * Easy to build * Using standart aliminium square arms, which you can buy locally cheap. * Suitable for learning flying multirotors MK Frames Cons: * Not as rigid as...

No it's not only you. I didn't tweak my CC settings but, it drifts to certain direction even I trim the TX. CC needs some tweaking for sure. And you can find the guide here: http://wiki.openpilot.org/display/Doc/Stabilization+Tuning++Multirotor

The temp is around 60 C degrees. And the power is around 100W max per motor. There's no payload on the Quadro. It just weights around 1.1 kg. I'll be testing the new RC Timer BC3536-11 motors once they arrive. I'm also ordering 6 pieces of Avroto 2814 short shaft, and 4 pieces of Pulso...

Boris I experienced that too. When calibrating the gyros before the flight, the altitude resets to zero on JetiBox. But after a while, even I won't take off, it starts to increase. I didn't took it serious, I'm gonna check it after rebuilding my bird again.

That's right. One of the design problems of Droidworx V2 frames is absolutely this. (If you call this a problem, that was definelty a problem for me while building my AD6-HL).

Hello everyone, When we talk about quality motors, several brands come to mind like: * AXi * Pulso * Avroto etc. Avroto and Pulso motors are cheaper when compared to AXi. I've never tried Avroto, but as far as I've read, users are quite happy with the quality. What about the...

Hello midnight999, I'll be very glad to hear your experience. Hope you fly your bird without problems.

Hello everyone, I know the majority has MK electronics, several members are using Hoverfly. What about Arducopter? Anyone flying ArduCopter? I'd like to hear cons & pros compared to MK and HoverFly. http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/ArduCopter

I had exactly the same problem. Problem source was with the flight modes. On my Spektrum DX8, when the poti that controls the flight mode is at position 0, it was selecting Manual Flight Mode. I reversed the channel in GCS so the problem is gone. You should always fly with stabilized modes...

Ken, I can easily say that video is smoother than I expected.
