looks nice. I'm going to use avroto 3515's. Are 14" props max for your arms or max for 16mm cf tubes? I am guessing that hanging a gimbal off the front with prop wash hitting part of the camera or gimbal is probably not going to work? Because of this I am wondering if I need to extend arms...

Went and re-read.. 16mm. Haven't seen or heard anything on availability. Guessing we will hear soon.....

I bought a Naza V2 late last summer. I know/knew nothing of Colin or how DJI is run, but I did know buyer beware, you are on your own with the naza. My Naza has been fine so far. Reading through the threads I see a fair amount of negative material on Colin & DJI. I've wondered if he was the...

Kloner. I'm sorry I'm too lazy to go back and read everything, but what is the weight w/ say arms to get you to 650mm motor to motor with your mounts both for the MR body and quad mounts for motors? I don't remember, but are they 25mm? What's current status on price and availability...

I have 2 of their receivers (Futaba compatible) in route. I also put my name on a wait list for a Taranis. Seems like they are getting a lot of good publicity and not just because of price. Will probably use it as a 2nd radio for camera op for a while on my large MR and use it as the...

Wow, this thread went over big! Anything good is better than the negative, fear inducing stuff I'm reading all the time.... You ought to look at it and share it on your social networks to share it with your non flying friends....

Just watch on DVR the first part of Katie Courics show today (1st time ever watching). She did 2 segments on Drones. VERY POSITIVE...... 1st segment she interviews VP of Parrot, gal from USA Today, and Mary Scavo (former Inspector General for dept of transportation, aviation expert). Mary...

R_Lefebvre: I understand about flying to a way point and loitering. My question is once I get loitering at the waypoint, can I manually fly around a bit and have my flight plan suspended while I do it. In other words, suspend a flight plan, manually control MR with my radio for a bit, then...

I watched his video on losing his MR and finding the solderless joint. If I recall, it was a large loaded up unit, not a small quad. At the end of his video he says he's waiting to see if DJI wants to step up and help out on all the gear he lost..... Until this incident, all has been...

I was in the exact same spot 14 months ago. I built a 12 lb x8 for my first build because I was in a hurry. While building, I spent time on a flight simulator using my Futaba 8fg that I bought for my x8. I think the flight sim was around $100. It worked. I broke a few props, but didn't have...

Beautiful looking y6. It looks like you are using his short arms up front (2) and longer arm on the back. Am I seeing that correctly? What motors, props, and battery you using and what are you hoping for on flight times. AUW?

R_Lefebvre: I just received an email stating my pixhawk shipped today. This is my first shot with apm. I'm going to start on a quad, either with 900kv or 400kv motors. I'm currently changing my x8 machine that will now fly in the 18-20lb AUW area with 400kv motors. eCalc sayd an octo...

I understand on the usb w/ video connection. My question from the photo's of the gimbal, it still looks like the Gopro will have to be removed to take out the micro sd card. I many times between flights I will pull the micro sd card out to check the video in my computer. I then put it back...

It looks like this is a diy machine. How much time & money would it take to build this? Would be interested in the hardware costs and software cost. Am I correct in that this is a little bigger than most diy systems out there for multiroters? I've looked at a couple machines, but even...

I went and read the short explanation on google docs (?) and this is a beta release for the sd card and a few others. Said if no issues, they release final in a week or so. I have no history with this software, but have been using beta and "just " released software in computers for too many...

What about getting the micro sd card out? The usb connection and card slot are side by side on the gopro 3.

I ordered a Pixhawk 8-9 days ago and haven't heard anything other than paypal sent the money. Been doing a little reading and hoping the pixhawk/ apm setup will come with some directions so I don't have to hunt all over the internet for them and piece it together. Always a learning curve...

Correction. I am at 2150g on f450. Also, looks like aluminum arms might be good for maybe 13" props. but I'm really not sure...

You 2x5000 @ 18min, was that with cam/gimbal? AUW?

I'm flying very light on my aluminum arms auw 1900g using 5000 mHa 4s. I'm looking to build at a quad or y6 for my middle machine, thus all the reading. Where I bought my aluminum arms, they have an accessory mount kit for coax motors. I haven't bought one or have any knowledge how they work...
