I've been working with my 3 -MR's and 3 gimbals getting ready for a visit 12 hrs away with a friend who flies gliders. We are going to goof off and do nothing but fly for 3-4 days. I'm starting to come to the conclusion that the xAircraft on the X8 is not very good. I'm going to wait for...

I started about 15-16 months ago building my own Multirotors. Since starting, I've built 2 x8's and 3-4 quads. I ended buying parts from many different people (internet stores and manufacturers) depending on price and availability. Currently flying a 900kv 550 quad with pixhawk, (this...

I'd agree on the frames. I'd even suggest get rectangle FC or Aluminum arms. I've switched on all mine and it's much easier to keep motors aligned than on round arms, esp with the newer low KV motors. As to the 4k Camera. I sort of agree, but you have to be willing to spend more on storage...

I think you need to supply more info. Does the amount include batteries, chargers, radio, etc or is this just for the gimbal For the BMPC & GH3, you can fly a quad, hex, 0cto, or x8. For the 5d, you will most likely need to drop the quad from the equation. If I had that amount of money...

Ok, got lucky and found a barely used (looks brand new and oil was clear) Honda eu2000 for $750. Couldn't pass on it even though didn't want to spend that much. Can charge 2 - 6s batteries at 2s pulling around 1200=1300 watts and stayed on eco mode for a short test, so stays quiet & will run...

I wouldn't argue with you that 4k negates the need for a 3rd axis or that 3 axis is the best way to go. I've a BMPC and GH3 and I'm contemplating selling them and buying gh4. If I do, I'd probably wait and see if I could get by with a 2 axis. I like light and nimble, but I also like smaller...

I have 3 - 2 axis gimbals that I've flown, 4 counting my Tarot Gopro gimbal. I'm having some decent, but sometimes frustrating success, and it's still a work in progress. I have a 3 axis Gopro that's made me want to make a 3rd axis on one of my 2 axis gimbals, but have been balking at the...

I have only used the iCharger 306b. Started with 12v 550 watt power for my 5000 4s batteries. It was fine for that. I recently started flying with 6s batteries and bought a 1000watt power supply. I don't have experience with anything else, but if I had to start all over, I'd do the...

Kloner, thanks. I was looking for someone who had some knowledge or had tried the non inverter route. If money were no object, I'd buy the Honda eu2000. That would be my #1 choice. Right now I have a heavier generator that I can wheel into my van and can handle some of my needs in my home...

I have some success with lower my gains when it's windy. However, I'm still looking for the holy grail when flying under power as opposed to lightly gliding or floating. I get some boobles or hit and miss shakes when flying forwards and backwards. Not so much when sideways as I am usually...

So what is the difference in price for a limited angle torquer drive motor vs the $70 - $300 brushless motors that are being used. Since the brushless gimbal technology is a little over a year old now, I'm hopeful for continuing improvements.

I'm not so much interested in charging in my car or off my car battery. I'm still wondering if they make gasoline 12v chargers. Not ac, but 12 volt.

Now after signing in, hit new post and I got the list. More Voodoooooo

I was on earlier. Old GUI. Just logged on and have new GUI. Hit new post and it said there were none. I wasn't signed in at the time. Voodoo.....

Jealous! Wish I could afford the Movi, but it's not in the cards. Hoping the new 32 bit Alexmos can up it's game a bit and get better, ie, closer to the Movi's performance.

Interesting read here plus a whole lot of drama over Pixhawk going on in other forums regarding open source. I'm dazed and confused as I read through all this. I currently have 3 MR's, all for video & some photo usage. Testing Pixhawk on my small quad with gopro. Naza V2 on a larger quad...

I believe my GPS on my Pixhawk is the Lea 6 Ubox. If so, can I just plug it into my Hoverfly Pro and use it or is their something more hardware or software I have to buy?

I just started flying my mid size quad with KDE 3520 motors. Using Plush 40amps. So far no problems, but haven't pushed it yet or flow a full battery. Just tuning with Naza v2 /GPS and 2 gimbals. Right now concentrating on a little GoPro DYs 3 Axis. Should I be grounding this or shall I...

I'd like to get the honda eu2000, but it may be more than I can spend. I like it cause it's quiet and big enough for what I need. The Kipor looks interesting, but it seems to have some service issues, although that may not be an issue cause this will get light use. I may just hall my big...

I'm thinking of selling my home 3500w generator (used 1 time in 10 years) and buying a smaller / quieter unit for charging lipos when flying. Honda makes a small unit which is purported pretty quiet but it's also too expensive. I looked at some 12volt gas driven units, and they are less...
