You just need to get a prop reamer, or a step bit, and ream out the hole to the right size. I think it's 8 mm if I'm not mistaken. I've done it with the old XAircraft motors that had the same odd ball shaped hubs, but they had a slightly different size. It can be done, just don't use a...

If it's a stock 550 kit, then double check your bullet connectors on the ESC's as well as the props. Personally, I think they are both poor designs and the weakest link of that kit. Replace the props with another brand if you can, and try to solder the esc's directly if possible. If you do that...

Pre and post flight checks are your best protection. Make a check list of everything you want to go over, and never skip it.

I knew about that time, I was talking about in SF. It seems they crack down on people pretty hard around there. I'm actually surprised they didn't get busted in Las Vegas as well. They were flying FPV right down the strip. Crazy, but fun if you can get away with it I guess.

Don't you have heat issues storing those Dell's under the wood like that?

I just watched that last night and was thinking of you, Yuri. They took it right downtown and blasted over major tourist spots like Powell street. Lucky they didn't get in trouble!

Can you get a small boat out there and maybe fish it out? That would at least keep you away from the gators. Sorry about your luck. Those props are just a bad design and should never have made it to production. It's a problem with the hub design. Good luck!!

Sounds good to me. I'm in.

Hey Ken, how much better do you think the image is in the Dominators than the base set? I've got the original Fat Sharks with the 5.8 vrx (same screens as base), and I've been wondering if it's worth it to upgrade to the Dominators.

That's always been my concern with this approach. The lack of depth perception from only having one eye on the target seems very scary to me. Please let me know how you get on with these after you have had a few test flights, especially after you fly up and over a few objects.

Something I shot today while testing out my new Sunex lens and Final Cut Pro X. My gimbal settings were way off, so I had a fair amount of stabilization in post, and some jello, but I really wanted to practice some different shots more than anything. I hope to dial everything else in tomorrow...

Thanks, Chris. I wasn't going to drive out there, but the wife insisted. She is my camera operator now and I'm glad I listened to her. Jack, those look amazing. I saw a few of them on facebook yesterday, but not the Osprey ones. What camera where you using? They turned out great.

I got this last weekend while traveling through West Virginia. They have a "Bridge Day" once a year where they close off the bridge and let 100's of people come and base jump the 900 feet structure into the New River below. They also have bungee jumping and repelling. For those of you in the US...

Last week I took a trip to West Virginia. My wife has a lot of family down there and this was my first chance to meet them. One thing that was very interesting to me was a story I heard about the coal mine industry through out WV. I guess the easy coal has pretty much all been mined, and to save...

That is looking good. What type of gimbal are you using, and what are you gain settings for it? I'm still having some bad wobble on my datalink click and go. I'm going to try and dial it in better tomorrow. I think I might have my gains cranked up to high.

That sounds like you lost a motor/prop/esc. If it's a stock F550 kit from DJI, I'd look at the ESC's. Personally, i'm not a fan of them at all. The built in bullet connectors are a horrible design. I fly an F550, but I haven't had any problems. I use a WKM, but I don't use any other DJI parts. I...

You probably shouldn't go below 20% on your batteries. It will damage them if so. What C rating are they?

So any word on a good spot to meet up?

You can also buy black arms. They are only $4 each now.

Nevermind.. I got it figured out.
