For the 3 position switches, I have 0, 100, 100. Which means down is off, middle and up is on. The manual says 2gb or less. I had to do some digging to find some old sd cards. I tried a 512mb card and a 2gb card. Thinking it's operator error, (not sd card) or faulty card reader...

What is the size of the horizontal cf tubes? Is there any reason they couldn't be widened by 25mm -45mm?

Webheadfred. Thanks for the Pics. That helps a lot. I think I've finally got my radio set pretty much the same. On the 2 position switches, I've had mine set to down, as off, and middle and up positions as on. I'm wondering if I take and make a copy of these settings, then go back and...

I took a quick look at making the curves. Started to try and then quit as I got nervous about doing it on my own. I had a chance for two quick flights before I had to take care of other business, so I bailed and flew. Set the gains up, up, and up. Still haven't made it twitch. at 85 right...

What's optimum for the voltage to the motors? I have some left over small adjustable regulators that I use for my camera's when I want to use large external batteries. Might be a cleaner install to run that unless the gimble needs a battery for balance or something. Any suggestions...

rwskier I noticed in one of your other video's you mention another multicopter and the Zenmuse & AV130. Be good to hear some comparisons. Looks like it's a no brainer for the smaller cameras. I think I'd buy one today if they were available. It seems it's a waiting game now and will have...

Webheadfred. Thanks for the reply. Straw sounds like a great idea! What do you mean by shudder? Are you saying to put the gains that I end up with into the alt hold and alt levels? (right now I'm at 40) I'm 2.65 lbs with 1 battery. I would think I'd get over 5 minutes on this load...

She Flies! My first build and my first flight! After a whole lot of reading, asking, and parts buying, my X8 or XY8 flew. She treated this inexperienced pilot pretty good today. Got in about ½ hr of total flying time on 7 batteries charges. Wind around 10 mph. Mostly hoover in a back...

pg 14 of this thread I threw up a gh2 pict with ruler. Anybody know if the gimble that RTRyder shows will carry the gh2 or does it need a new frame. Weight of camera is around 640g with light lens.

I building xy8 with HFP. Top motors are clockwise and bottom motors spin counter. Confusing! Here are a bunch of single props I found from APC. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. 2 called pusher, 1 counter rev, and the rest have no designation. APC 11 X 4.7 SLOW FLYER PROPELLER...

Is there a designation for APC like push/pull or something that lets you know what to buy on the 12 x 3.8 and 12x6 thin? If so, which one goes top and which for the bottom? I assume the 12 x 3.8 are the slow flys?

It flies! Lifted off the ground and hovered 3 times with very low battery for it's 1st flight. I didn't really do anything but hover. Have more work todo, but couldn't resist temporarily mounting a battery and giving it a small test. No cam, gimble, etc, and just 1 battery..... Weight...

I have the motors set up right and props balanced, but am now struggling with whether the props are snug enough on the shafts. Starting with Gemfan 11" props. While I probably won't use them long term, I'll use them for a while. They come with adapters for different shaft sizes and the...

Stacky, thanks. I think I read the instructions wrong. I had all the motors on the table and wired 4 to turn clock wise and 4 to turn counter. I put the counter turning motors on the bottom as I thought the instructions said. It appears they want the bottom motor turning counter to what the...

Googling and get more confused. Maybe I have the right combo of propellers and just don't know which one of the set goes on top. Looking at them doesn't make sense to me, but it won't be the first time I've made a mistake on this build. Will keep reading and maybe figure this out. Just don't...

Bout ready for first flight, although we are in middle of snow storm here. But I may have a problem, like I messed up. I bought my props in pairs (left turn/ right turn). X8 config per HF is to have top motor going clock wise and bottom going counterclock wise. I assume that means I need 8...

In the manual, they say mount the Flight Controller with the markings towards the front/forward. Doesn't say anything else except keep the standoffs as short as possible. 1", but not longer than 2". Shorter is better and don't over tighten. Doesn't say anything above whether it should be...

Av8Chuck ... I'm using same frame, going x8 with Avroto's. Using 30amp ESC's. Haveven't decided on the camera gimble as I'm waiting to see if a Alexmos gimble pops that can handle a GH2. I 'm almost done wiring. Have updated the HFP and am itching to get going...

Something I found on youtube. For Beta or whatever it's being called, looks promising. Seems footage is starting to show up. I'm neutral on the customer service aspect so far. Sometimes you don't have choices if you want to get in first. I haven't pre-ordered as I waiting to see the...

I am new to HFPro and just finishing up my build. I slowed down this last week on the build trying to figure out a few wiring logistics. I could have worked a little harder, but I think in the back of my mind, I fearing the radio setup on the 8fg. I have a start on it, but not feeling real...
