    Alex Mos brushless gimbal controller

    Does anybody know if the Alex Mos brushless gimbal controller only works with brushless motors? Since the controllers look like they will be shipping soon, I'm of the same mind to buy a controller and started messing with rewinding motors. I'm pretty clueless on electric motors, so I'm just...

    Hoverfly Futaba 8FG & HFP

    Is it possible to transfer setups from one radio to another. If so, anyone have a setup they'd like to send me then maybe a 15 minute phone call maybe explaining the setup?

    Hoverfly Futaba 8FG & HFP

    My quad coaxial is coming along. Getting to the point where I'll be hooking everything up pretty soon, balancing props/motors etc.... Anyway, one of the remaining (I hope maybe the last) unknown/ new things I have to learn is the setting up/tuning of the Futaba 8FG with the HFP. Haven't found...

    Hoverfly Firmware Updates

    OK, mucked my way though back loading firmware 4.3.860. Only thing I didn't do is when one of the steps took me to a web site for something from Parallax. No idea what that was so I went right to firmware and then it let me load the old 4.3.860. What is the Parallax stuff for? Totally no...

    Hoverfly Firmware Updates

    I just received my HFP board today. Still in the box. Anyway of knowing what firmware is on it? I assume I can get the old firmware on the website if I have to go backwards. Can I get into the card via usb without it being installed or externally powered by my lipo? Received board and a usb...

    Motor alignment tips and tricks

    After reading this, I think measuring blade height from flat level surface is probably the way to go. If level surface is available, it very accurate and virtually cost nothing but some time. I'm going to try with the phone leveler and then check with the measurements from the level base.

    Motor alignment tips and tricks

    I have checked out my droid phone level app with my shop levels and it's spot on. I'd say for checking your setup after reassembling, check the the main plates for being level and the check the motor mounts with the phone level. It works flat , horizontal, or vertical.

    Curious as to what your building. You mentioned an octo in your orig post, does that mean your going 8 motor flat? If you'd care to share, what frame, motors, & flight controller?

    Prop Balancer

    I got the last Integrity buzzer in inventory so I will have to wait a bit for a 2nd unit. No biggie, as I'm still building. Feeling pretty good about the build so far and that I've picked good components. Pieces are fitting together nicely and the only irritation so far is not finding some of...

    Prop Balancer

    I have a voltage checker / buzzer on order. Integy C23212 LiPo Voltage Checker/Warning Buzzer by Integy . Question, if I fly to batteries in parallel, do I need two of these? Thanks in advance.

    Prop Balancer

    Thanks all. You tube video was good stuff. Dubro on the way and after the video, can probably do a competent job on the props.

    Prop Balancer

    I ordered a Du-Bro with some of my other copter parts that came in last week. Everything was delivered but the Du-Bro. My money was refunded so I'll have to find another supplier. Good to know it's a good one... Thanks for the advice......

    Gens Ace 5000mah Hard Case for x8 with Avroto's 2814's

    Seems like many of these batteries are out of stock. Do U.S. peeps usually find them here in the states? Can find other brands at twice the price, but will hold off for a while till I exhaust looking.

    Gens Ace 5000mah Hard Case for x8 with Avroto's 2814's

    "I prefer sky lipo after running those 2 and turnigy the last year, like by the dozen" What do you like better about the sky lipo's. I don't know anything about that brand. I have heard nothing but good things about the Gens Ace, so I'm interested in your opinion. Are you running the 30C's...

    Gens Ace 5000mah Hard Case for x8 with Avroto's 2814's

    I'm looking for a couple 4s 40 C batteries and am wondering if the GENS ACE 5000mah 4S1P 14.8V 40C Hard Case Lipo battery would work. With the hard case (which seems to be approved for some buggy race rollers.... ) it will add 10-40g (5-10% extra weight) of weight from similar sized...

    Hoverfly Big X8 Observations.

    I'm building something very similar. 8 - Avroto's 2814's and an X8 or XY8. Main difference will probably the span. I'm looking at 29-32" inches. Going to start a little wilder and bring the motors in bit by bit. Not sure on batteries yet, but going to try 4s 35C ( or 40C) to start...

    Hoverfly Pro or Wookong FC for new X8 ?

    Gentlemen (and any ladies), thank you for your advice. I have ordered the HFP and hopefully in the not 2 distant future I will be sharing footage instead of asking a million questions. Looking forward to some silky smooth flying. One of the members here told me he liked to get up in the air...
