@ZAxis Ahh.. vibration monitor. I like that idea. I saw this video a little while back and realized how easy it is to make such an app. @JT Yup, s90 is all up and working fine thanks to your help. I had to wait on a new mount before I could get it on the craft, but I just got the first in...

As some of you know, I design & develop iPhone/Android apps for a living. For the last few months I've been kicking around the idea of building an app to use while out flying. Today I had a few more ideas about it, but I wanted to see if you guys had some to add. As it stands right now, I'm...

I have no doubt that this thread has been picked up by big brother given the keywords contained there in. Maybe they are watching you, Yuri. ;-)

How's it going, janoots. You are going to have a ton of power with 8 of those motors spinning! Can't wait to see that thing in action. I put my IMU dead center on the CF plate that used to hold the FC1212. I think I was getting high frequency vibes there, but I just remounted it and used a zip...

months later, I finally post some pics. 2 cameras on board, 1 FPV & 1 for AP. 3 blade 10" GWS props on Avroto Motors 40 amp DYS ESC's GoPro HD 2 & Cannon s90 on an MC6500 camera mount

It's been a while, but I think I used an 11/32 which was just short of the size I needed. I then took it down the last little bit by hand with sandpaper. Just be sure to use a stepper bit, you'll never cemeteries a normal bit right and the hub will be off center and wobble like crazy.

According to my OSD, I hit 40+ with my sport FPV Quad. That was coming out of a dive in a sprint across the field. -Terry

I just saw this on RCExplorer.se Pretty crazy stuff!

Just hit 500 posts. I think this is the most activity I've had on a forum before. I feel like it's my birthday or something. :highly_amused: Nothing else to see here, folks. Carry on.

I've had so many people send me messages about this story. Everyone in our family knows I build these things, and they all turn to me with a strange look on their face when they see stuff like this. -Terry

I have also set it up both ways before. For your radio, I would use acro. I used heli mode on my DX6i, but only because acro mode did not allow me to set a throttle curve. You don't have that problem with your radio, so I wouldn't worry about it. If you did want to set it up as heli though...

x468.com has something for sale. Not the best gimbal in the world, but if you want something on the less expensive side it might fill your needs.

It turns out that the changes weren't as substantial as I thought, so I'm just going to stick with the one I have already. It would have been nice to know though. They started shipped the new version the day after mine was shipped. I'm sure they knew, but what ever. It's not enough of a change...

You can get a few more degrees out of it by adjusting the center point of the servo. I think it's 90 degrees total, so you are seeing the 45 forward, and there is also 45 back to help adjust the camera during travel. If you don't mind giving up some backwards travel, you can get more forward...

I've always heard that you should turn IS off entirely.

Ok, this has happened to me twice now and I wanted to get the opinion of the board about this. Should a vendor inform a customer of a new product that is just around the corner when they are placing an order for the current version of that product? Without naming names, I'll say that this...

No need to use 4s. Set up a second battery for all your video gear at 3s. Much safer that way.

Had you actually set up failsafe and RTH on your craft, or did you just assume it would work?

Hey Jack, That's awesome that you are so close. My wife used to live in Ellicott City. I love it around there. We should get together sometime and do some flying. Sounds like we have almost the same machines now. I had an XA 650 v8, but did the same conversion as you... WK-M Autopilot, Avroto...

Be sure to set up a failsafe as well. At the very least, make sure it won't fly off into the great wide open if you lose contact. Who knows where it will land if that happens. If you are using a WK-M, set up a RTH with autoland. If you have the Naza, set the throttle just under half so it will...
