this is the start of the build thread and the images are coming from a post I put on the general multirotor discussion section the other day. Over all I am in the midst of putting it all together, I have most of the components, and now its just a matter of laying it out. To begin I am very...

Not sure of what exactly the changes you made from your 450 to 550 but I can tell you a few things I know and for what I have been reading on the thread, it all is about right. On my 550 on a good battery, I can get about 9 min flight, with a sony rx100. There is a few things I have done, one is...

Thanks Chris Shows you how much I know, I never even noticed the build section on the site, I guess as long as I have been coming here, I do not scroll down to often. A lot more lately though. Yes I start a build thread over the next week as I am starting to piece it together, I have...

t.rexxer No problem, Atlanta hobby has started selling the conversion kits, http://www.atlantahobby.com/Store/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=16946&idcategory=874 $390.00 - I believe. cheers

For a while I have been debating on moving to a bigger copter so I can have something to accommodate larger payloads and better cameras. I have been thinking about the CS6 and started looking up stuff, when I came across a post talking about this Tarot frame and saying it was a lot like a cs8 to...

I will let it go for $315 that's where I will leave, I can use it and over all it works like they say it does. If anyone wants it its here. I am now in the midst of playing around with the Tarrot xyz.

Ttelmah, you know I can see what you are talking about and never would have thought of it, but over all the motor was not over worked in the weight game. However I have to give a shout out to MontoRC (North American Tiger distributor) - Since getting into this I have bought all my Motors and...

there are people doing good stuff not using the zenmuse. I guess its a matter of how much work you want to put into it, the Zenmuse has had a great run and we have seen great stuff with it, my problem with the Zenmuse its camera specific !!!! (one of 3 models soon 4 GOPRO), and technically its...

ya I am replacing both, and its best, I will see if the motor dealer will do something about it, He has in the past. The esc I am ok with but the motor kinda bumbs you out, its pretty expensive part, but that is part of the world we play in.

Ya I have to admit Bart you have talked me off the 4014 ledge, I spent a lot of time doing the number last night, I figure in some case at liftoff I will be at something like 30% thrust power. That is crazy, however with that said I am thinking of the 4012 instead, on this series at worst case...

I have a hexa, built it in November, and have been flying it, I would not say it has a lot of time, I am around 10 hours - 50 flights, the motors are Tiger 3515's, esc's are Maytech 40amp opti's not bec (power pin pulled to the flight controller on all ESC's) , and the flight controller is a...

Thanks all again, rsun what mha's were you using on your battery. On my hexa with 3515's 14" APC props at 4300g's and a 5000(6s) I am getting 11min safe flight time, and have pushed it to 12.5 min, I would not do that again, it drew 4350mha for charge. Bart I hear you, I am just looking at...

ya thanks guys, I am looking at a octo 1000mm range with a 6s battery, and either 14in or 15in props. I think like the thought of the faster spinning props, just for stability, I have an hexa with the 3515 motors and it doing pretty nice. They are nice motors and have been doing great, I just...

Hey Guys I am in the middle of putting together a build for an Octo and as I am trying to figure out what motors to use I am questioning which direction to go between the two. I am interested in hearing any opinions out here between the 4014 330kv and 400kv. I understand the different of...

P.S. Drone is such an ugly name !

Hey guys, just from personal experiences in both helicopters and airplanes. I have been up at 1500ft doing 145kts and have easily seen birds, such as Bald Eagles. Just looking around, or better yet never mind the height, if the object such as an eagle, hawk, or seagull; are at equal height as...

I will say, this is going to happen, the more people get involved the more someone is not going take common sense. I wish the FAA could figure something out, just so the guys out here who want to do this for work, and do it right, can. It will not keep the yahoos away and you will have people...

Here are a few photos of the Gimbal Control

New Hoverfly Gimbal, I got it about a month ago, flown with it about ten times, works fine nothing wrong I wanted to see what is was about and how it worked. In the long run its not my cup of tea and I am going in another direction. I am asking $335, it includes gimbal and all the parts it...

now that no one is coming forward with any information I may have to get one and start writing about it. I have an avrotor f550 I can scrap and install here with 12 props and see where that goes. I will keep any one posted as I do, if anyone is looking at this feed. Cheers
