    Mikrokopter Radio setup Spektrum DX7?

    I have never set up an MK, but if it's anything like all the other MR's I've built, you can put it in heli mode with the 90degree swashplate setting. This was the way I had to set up my DX6i in order to get a throttle curve (no TC in acro). Not sure how the DX7 is, but it can't be to much different.

    Man, you're already up? I still haven't gone to bed yet. :dejection:

    Canvas Prints

    I just got a print back of one of my photos. It's 24 x 36 with a 1.5 inch deep frame. It's hard to tell from this angle, but they cut the bleed on the edge of the frame to give it more of a painting look, white sides & image only on front face. They must use some type of image enlarger because...

    New vTX and Antennas

    Have you checked that you do in fact have video coming out of the GoPro? I had a hard timing getting that config & cable right. The one I was using was backwards and actually used the red wire inside instead of the normal yellow. Just a thought. Good luck getting it going, and let me know how...

    XAircraft Replacement After Market Motors for the XAircraft X650 V4/8

    Nice work, Dixter. These are exactly what I needed to see. I'll be placing my order this weekend for everything else I need. What are your thoughts on the performance? I bet that landing gear feels a lot more sturdy with that cross support underneath, huh? Are you going to use a camera...

    XAircraft How is your value series flying?

    Try moving it around some with it still connected and see what happens? These gyros may reach a point after sitting still for so long that stops the drift problem. If it still holds after that I would power it down and reconnect to see if the problem comes back.

    Negative reviews for Hobby King and HobbyWireless

    Hobby King also has warehouses in other countries. Being in the states, I try to limit my orders with them to only items stocked in the US. That way, if I do need to return something, the shipping costs don't out weigh the original value of the item. -Terry

    XAircraft Replacement After Market Motors for the XAircraft X650 V4/8

    Hey Dixter, I think you have something funky going on with your attachments. It throws me an error message when I try to look at them. If I'm not mistaken, I saw the same problem on another post of yours. I'd love to see these images as I'm about to do the same thing to my 650. Let me know if...

    New vTX and Antennas

    Hey Ed, I'm just checking in to see how this project turned out for you. I'm using the same vTX as you, but have not been able to get good results at all. Max 150-175 meters and that's it. I'm using it with a pair of FatShark goggles with the built in rx (old style). At this point, I've swapped...

    XAircraft Replacement After Market Motors for the XAircraft X650 V4/8

    What kind of flight times are you getting with that set up?

    XAircraft How is your value series flying?

    I've seen a few others make videos of this, so I'm not surprised. This seems to be the major cause of the drifting so many people are seeing.

    XAircraft Exploding props

    Yup, I'm thinking DJI with Avroto motors, 30amp esc's, 11inch props & 4s batteries. That should get it in the air with no problems.

    XAircraft Hexa Frame

    I heard just under $200, but that could come up some.

    XAircraft Exploding props

    All of the current XA users are nothing more than paying beta testers. I work in product development, and I know I would personally lose my job if I put something out that had this many holes in it. Completely unacceptable.

    XAircraft Exploding props

    Denny, I would steer clear if I were you. They make a decent frame, I'll give them that, but that's about it. The fact that they released this product with these props says one thing. The fact that they didn't pull them all off the shelves when they found out about this problem is something else...

    I just made an important discovery... the new field I have been flying in has stadium lighting in the evenings when no one is using the field. NIGHT FLIGHT!

    XAircraft Replacement After Market Motors for the XAircraft X650 V4/8

    Hey Jack... so when you made the conversion to the WK-M did you go with 4 motors, or keep it at 8? It seems most people are doing 4, but i'm dying to find someone that has keep it coaxial. I think I'm going to take the same steps you did this week. Any tips or 'gotcha' moments you encountered...

    XAircraft X650v Tech help please?

    Good luck with that. It wouldn't be the first invite he has turned down. He seems to only follow the thread on RCGroups for some reason, and even then dodges questions and only pops in from time to time.

    XAircraft X650v Tech help please?

    Unless you use SBus.. then you can get 8 motors + 2 axis camera adjustment.

    I finally got a little time in with the sport quad this weekend. We just moved and this is my new flying field. I'm happy to finally have a garage to work on things, and a nice field close to the house.
