    XAircraft SuperX

    Guess I'll have to try the calibration dance 2 times with the raised puck.

    XAircraft SuperX

    I did the calibration dance when my puck was in the same position (orig) with the KDE's as it was with the Avroto 3515's. I did not do the calibration dance after raising the GPS puck higher. However, when I put the Avroto's back on with Puck raised, the gps worked, but position hold was a...

    XAircraft SuperX

    flight controller in center. Just to the left looking from behind I have the I/O module. to the right is a buck converter converting 6s down to 12v. Nothing very close. Off back is my Futaba receiver. Underneath that plate is the 4 esc's. s

    XAircraft SuperX

    Any suggestions. Carbon frame quad with Avroto 3515's, SuperX, PLus 40amp ESC's, 6s 8000mHa battery on top. Electronics on center plate above arms, Puck on top plate (3rd) and battery there. GPS works fine. Swap out Avroto's for KDE 3520's. No other change. Wires routed the same way, same...

    XAircraft SuperX - red double-flash when in GPS mode.....

    I'm guessing this isn't the same. However, I've been testing some dif configs and I had temporarily borrowed my Super x from my x8 and put it on a quad with 4 Avroto 3515's . Did some tests with 2 different gimbals. I then decided to test with 4 of the new KDE 3520's on same quad. Just...

    CarbonCore Cortex....Owners' Thread

    Just found this thread. Didn't know about this frame till today. Curious as to what the U.S. pricing is for just the frame and retracts? Went to web site and didn't find pricing so I'm beginning to wonder if one can just buy the frame & retracts.

    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS is much better now

    I still have my HFP Black board. It was a replacement for my original board that went bad that I haven't been able to get working properly, although I've only tried it 2 times. It launches and then the yaw starts on it's own. I've held onto it with the hope that some improvements might be...

    Hoverfly Something BIG coming soon!

    Kloner, are you using a Hexacrater/Kloner built brushless gimbal? I assume the Alexmos controller? Assume some big motors for the Epic. You must have some serious tuning time if you are going from Gopro to Epics on the same gimbal. Impressed on the camera range...

    XAircraft SuperX

    Is that with a gimbal on it? AUW on the Hex? Those are some low vibrations. Congrats on your twerking, I mean, tweaking skills.

    Recommend a charging station for me!

    Wish I hadn't read this thread, now I'm looking to lighten my wallet with the 308 duo. Last winter I read up on using server power but have been hesitant in trying it as there are some "gotcha" comments by some people. Kloner, would you give a more detailed explanation of how you...

    4.8 0- 5kg quad for smooth video required, low kv motors props etc

    Can you tell us more about the "trappy thing" On my lighter quads and Avroto 3515, 13" seem to be the sweet spot, but 14's aren't bad either.

    4.8 0- 5kg quad for smooth video required, low kv motors props etc

    Is your quad @ 5lbs w/ battery, gimbal, & gopro? That's light. My lightest quad (550mm) w/ 3515's, 550mm, gopro/ tarot, and 8000 mhz 6s is 6.875 lbs... I"m testing on another quad (650mm) with heavier frame and is 8.6 lbs.. with same battery and gopro. I'm also testing it with a 2 axis...

    4.8 0- 5kg quad for smooth video required, low kv motors props etc

    I understand there are many factors. I am just now starting to use some low KV motors. My understanding is that the slower the motor spins and the bigger props the more the issues with vibrations, albeit, maybe a different type or frequency. My question was geared towards flight time in...

    Copter Skills? Win a $12,000 Tour through Lake Powell, Utah!

    From your website, it says you do photography workshops. I assume some of that will be happening on the trip besides just some Aerial filming?

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

    KDE... Which of your motors would you suggest for a quad with AUW in the 4 to 4.8 kg range. for slow flying and filming. I've currently tested with 3515 400kv motors and 13", 14", and 15" props and 6s batteries and am happy both with the 8.5 kg and the 10kg range, getting very good flight...

    Anybody getting nice smooth video on a quad with either the 3520's or 3515 Tigers or Avroto's. If so, I'd love to know your setup, FC, AUW etc.

    4.8 0- 5kg quad for smooth video required, low kv motors props etc

    4.8 - 5kg quad 3515 vs 3520 400 kv ADVICE Wanted I'm rebuilding my x8 with Avroto 3515 motors. I briefly played around with a couple quad configurations and a gimbal gh2. Had different results with different props and am curious what makes a good quad with low KV motors. For around 5kg's...
