    The next rig for Yonder Blue Films - "Less Is More"

    Once your alexmos was tuned for your gh3 or whatever you were using, did you have to do much post stabilization work? I've found it hoovers and glides pretty good in calm wind. However, I have problems when I start flying as opposed to kind of drifting/gliding. Also wind gust are some what...

    XAircraft SuperX

    I had it happen on my x8, when some motors would start and others not. It was when I was setting gains on the computer and then going out and testing. Just figured out that it was happening when I had lowered the gain to .8 and then had my dial turned down. When I put the dial back to mid...

    The next rig for Yonder Blue Films - "Less Is More"

    Be interesting to hear your M5 comparison to your Alexmos based gimbal.

    XAircraft SuperX on heavy lifter

    Has anyone heard of a new firmware update coming. I'm hoping they will add some more controls for fine tuning and / or also working on the x8 config.

    XAircraft SuperX on heavy lifter

    I was finally successful with my x8/ xAircraft Superx and 2 axis Alexmos gimbal & gh3. I've been fighting gimbal issues that I thought were possibly coming from flight controller, but turned out a 2nd attempt at using ferret rings worked. I've tried them before that didn't fix my problem, but...

    KDE Direct has added Multi-Rotor Heli motors to their lineup

    I bought the KDE 3520's and just put them on a quad. Running 40amp Plush's with them. Sorry bout the dumb question, but what are the symptoms of losing sync? I mostly slow fly so I'm assuming the Plush ESC's should be OK. I've only done 1 quick short flight without load so don't have...

    Anyone else have a package delayed from Hobbyking?

    I only order there as a last resort and nothing expensive. I ordered some 6s Nano batteries on March 27 that said they were in stock in USA. Now 20 days later they say they haven't shipped. Been on text customer service for 30 minutes. They took my payment on March 27th and their web...

    x8 Frame 18-22 lbs plate question

    I have some 1/8" G4, maybe I'll try that on the bottom. I just assumed if I was going to thicker g4. I'd end up going thicker on both top and bottom plate. Didn't think to just try the bottom. Once it's in the air, it seems to fly pretty good, at least in calm wind. It's just when the...

    x8 Frame 18-22 lbs plate question

    I maidened my x8 w/ Avroto 3515's * 15" prop at an AUW of 17.75lbs & xAircraft FC. Will be flying at 16 to 20 lbs most of the time. I checked my vibration on the data and it was not bad even though in my rush to get maiden flight in today, only 4 of the 8 props were balanced. My plates on...

    XAircraft SuperX on heavy lifter

    Did you shoot your Big Sur video on the x8/super-X & Black Magic @ 4k? I'm guessing some of the water/wave shots would be even more stunning in 4k on a 4k monitor. Nice!

    FYI NAB Floor conversation Drones

    That booth is going all day long. He has been on at least 2 or 3 times already with his brushless gimbal.

    XAircraft SuperX on heavy lifter

    My first MR was an x8 with HoverFly Pro. Nothing but manual to learn and tune. It can be done, but my advice would be this. Cheap props, do it now with the snow melting and ground soft. Find slushy ground and don't do much flying, just hovering looking for a twitch. It worked for me, and...

    XAircraft SuperX

    xAircraft, I believe many of your users would like an app to read our black box data. It's a pain in the rear end to have to get on the internet to look at our flight data. Please!

    The next rig for Yonder Blue Films - "Less Is More"

    Brushless gimbals IMO, have been a bit of voodoo at times. Be interesting to hear others experience. I've used a couple different ones with HoverFlyPro Black, Naza V2, Xaircraft Superx, and soon to test a Pixhawk. I've tested on quad and x8 configs. I can't seem to get the same smooth...

    XAircraft SuperX

    Thanks everyone. Issue Resolved. Operator Error. Put motors back on. Wired exactly the same. Puck is in same raised position. 3+ inches above top of motors. and 1.5+ inches above battery. Did calibration dance 2x, stopping when led changed, not when I got my customary 3 revolutions in...

    XAircraft SuperX

    Putting KDE's on right now for a quick calibration and couple minute flight before day get's into full swing. If this works, fine, if not, I'm going to bag the trouble shooting and put the KDE 3520 400kv motors on my quad and test with my Naza V2/GPS combo.

    XAircraft SuperX

    When I was in ati mod I'd get the red green flash. I landed and unplugged the puck and all was ok, no green flash. Plugged it back in and got the flashing lights. Which stayed on for everything with the KDE. Once I put the Avroto's 3515 back on, it was ok. Dhardjono, I get the correct...
