I agree with wanting the ease and quickness to setup. I love flying my 550 quad w/ gopro/tarot gimbal. Easy to carry around, pretty quiet flying, and stays in the air a long time on 1 battery. when GoPro or a competitor gives me manual exposure or better auto exposure, I think it will be my...

SleepyC, are you using ferrite rings on your Alexmos controllers? I never have, but I've been fighting vibrations since late august that I can't seem to get rid of. One dealer has this to say about Aerial Pixels says "If you have gimbal shaking in flight, it’s an EMI noise problem. Fit a...

Expo is exponential. Thanks for the answer. Duh, I hate to admit this, but I have set up exponential curves before on my Futaba 8fg for my HoverFlly Pro. Set it a switch to turn it on and off. Tried it for a while, but quit using it as I relied on subtle stick movements instead. Might...

I just did my first 1.08 flight in about 16-18 degrees with a brisk wind., best guess 15 mph or so. Seemed to fly fine, got the battery buzzer to go off after hard climb, but assuming that is the cold weather. Only flew for 5 minutes. Should have come in after doing the calibration as I went...

What does "use expo on your yaw" mean? I looked up Barts short cut guide, but expo isn't on there. Sorry for not knowing, but this is the second time I've seen expo this week and I still know what you are all talking about.

Questech, I have never heard anything good or bad about the Tarot brushless motors. T-Motors are a know quality so I'd tend to go that route. New Avroto's look good to. I've never used lower KV motors, so have no experience. Just opinions from what I've read, which isn't worth much. So far...

Temperature rating for cold weather is -10C which is 14F on Xaircraft SuperX. I just got my X8 put back together. Flew 2 quick flights yesterday and all appears good. Now would like to upgrade firmware and put my gimbal on and do some more test flights. Right now it's 12F degrees (with...

I have been contemplating the CarbonCore frame, or at least the arms as I like the idea of the rounded rectangle shape. My other thought is the aluminum arms from Vulcan UAV or their complete frame. Either of these arms will keep the motors on plane in regards to alignment. I'm guessing the...

I do the alignment a little different. I use a small level on the side (vertical) of the two baseplate edges for the top/bottom motors. The scribe line would probably work, but I don't really want to put a score in the arms... Maybe a ink line on both ends, but for now, I just take a small...

Cgott. I put the arms on my f450 and don't recall having to tweak my gains much, if at all. With Tarot Gopro gimbal, it flew very nicely on my f450 and flies great on the new arms. New arms are stronger. I think you should start over and check all connections and do a complete setup and...

jes1111 I've leaned to not tighten the round arms down so much. However, this means I have to check alignment more often on the x8. I've thought about plugging the ends, but I run my 3 motor wires through the tube and on an x8, that's 6 wires. Already difficult enough running wires...

Was this a dumb question?

Contemplating building a hex or x8 in the 850-900mm range with AUW of 16-20lbs. Most likely using 3515 400kv or similar sized motors w/ 14" or 15" props. I'd like to get opinions on pro's and cons of what make a stong frame with the least amount of potential vibrations as far as the...

I am thinking of upgrading to TMotor 4014 400 or 330kv motors and have the 21.5mm tubes from rusty in an x8 config. I'm contemplating. 1. Keeping the 21.5 mm arms in x8 config. (850mm) 2. Keep the 21.5 but switch over to hex 850mm config. 3. Change out to 25mm tubes. 4. Change out to...

MR shots were pretty subtle. Wasn't sure on some if they were MR, dolly, jib, or steadycam shots. Hope before I die we get Epic quality in a small / affordable package... Nice job!

Not sure what to think. Been in the tech business for over 30 years and have seen lots of companies come, go, expand, get sold etc... Silence is silence. It can mean anything. It could be but not limited to, bye bye or maybe new products and new priorities. Only time will tell. In the...

Disclaimer, this is my first year year flying and first 2 builds, so my perspective not the same as a seasoned pilot..... I put the HFP on a 12lb xy8 and learned to fly. It was a slow process building, tweaking, and learning to fly. Found the HFP to be very stable and it was really up to the...

Then I guess I have some work / tuning to do... Will report back when I get it put back together, becuase so far, I'm not as smooth as my old HFP. I'm more controlled flying, but I am looking at what my lens is giving me.

XAircraft America... I'm looking for silky smooth video. I've an x8 with XAircraft that I don't have dialed in all the way. Guys are reporting great results on Quads and Hex's. Since I'm in snow country and flying is limited this time of year, do you think I'd best wait a few months for...

I'm trying to decide between 400kv and 340kv motors so appreciate your taking the time to document your findings on the 4012/ 340kv motors. You didn't mention anything about heat but I'd guess at 12lbs, heat wouldn't be much of an issue.... I'm currently flying x8 in 12-14lbs range which...
