Hey, thanks a lot guys. My stuff should start arriving today, so maybe this weekend I'll get some time to put it all together. Depends on my work load here at the office I guess. Anyway, thanks for the input!

The lab itself is the amazing part to me. That's what controls everything.

Thanks, Shiu. I should be starting the build this weekend and will post any photos or video here. Do you have any I can check out of yours? BTW... how do you like that gimbal?

I'm counting on Santa myself, Dave. I'm sure he will come through.

So far I've only had two "accidents", and both were due to the same thing... loose prop nuts. Such a simple thing, but something that will turn your craft into a rock in no time. No a part of my checklist.

haha.. Dave, I think I need some of that cough medicine you get. :strawberry:

Good luck with that then. I hope you have better luck with yours than everyone else I know. If you plan on using GPS, please let us know how it works for you. I'd be interested in hearing first hand from someone that has the v2 since XA didn't bother to supply any type of proof that the new...

Hey Dave, Did XAircraftUSA happen to mention that that bit of hardware has already been updated to a version 2 (electronics) and in order to upgrade you will need to pay another $200 + in shipping & upgrades? The GPS units dont' work in the version 1 and it's caused LOTS of problems...

So after a few disappointing months of watching in horror as so many people report problems with the GPS for my X650, I've gone ahead and ordered everything I need to do an XA/WK-M hybrid. Ordered so far are the WK-M, 4 Avroto motors, 11x4.7 props, 30amp esc's & a 4S battery. I'll be using the...

I have a small gimbal for my gopro and it seems to be very twitchy with a lot of chatter when I first power up. I found that if I just pick up the quad and rock it back and forth through the pitch & roll then it stops. Sometimes I can just use the switch I set up to change the pitch of the...

Thanks, Iris. Yeah, all GoPro shots. I've cropped some to remove a bit of the distortion towards the outer edges. Others simply play into the effect of that lens better. I'm looking forward to trying the GoPro 2 out soon. I think the higher resolution will help me out.

Sweet stache, Pasty. ;)

I had the day off and the weather was perfect for some AP. Shot in the Liberty Water Reservoir and Baltimore's Inner Harbor.

Thanks, Ken. Looks like I have an order to place now. :highly_amused:

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has experience with the DYS 30amp ESC's. Will these work with a WK-M with Avroto motors? I want to place an order today, but I'm not sure if these will all work together. http://montorc.com/DYS30Amp.aspx Thanks! -Terry

That's what I thought as well, but I just wanted to hear someone else say it. ;-) So, anyone have any pics to compare? I was actually on the market for a new camera when these came out, so perfect timing. I wanted to replace the GoPro Hero because the resolution was just to low (stills), but...

That's a great chart. Of course, the one thing I was looking for is not listed. What was the FOV of the original GoPro? It shows that the GP2 can be either 127 or 170, but doesn't list what the GP1 was. I'm thinking it was 170, but I'd love to hear it from someone else.

The GoPro Hero 2 is now taking stills with 127 degree FOV, plus they are now 11mp instead of the 5. Was 170 the FOV for the first GoPro? I have been trying to find that lately and haven't had any luck.

I have actually had zero problems with my X650, but I would say that's only because I have avoided most of them. Since the majority of the problems people report come from the compass or GPS, I have not added them to my set up (will instead use that money towards a WK-M). Several folks have...

I'm curious of the same. I do know that the colors are supposed to be more vibrant and the low light shots are a little better. Obviously, the MP has more than doubled from 5 to 11, and the FOV is now @ 127, I'm not sure what it used to be though. Any idea?
