    Lotus RC T580 -flew one today

    Hey Nem... I figured you would show up here sooner or later. Yeah, I'm thinking more about the 650 at this point, but I'm also considering just going for it and grabbing an MK Oktokopter and being done with it! It all depends how much money I have left over after paying for my...

    Have you told your friends yet??

    But you guys are my flying buddies. ;-) No, seriously though. The only people I fly with in my area are heli guys. I think a couple of them have been on here, but don't think they have registered or became active. I'm trying to plant the multi-rotor bug in one of them right now, so maybe...

    Can someone explain what these 2 boards do?

    Probably the better question would be what doesn't it do. I know that board was very recently updated and you can now buy a RTF version for $299. It handles stabilization, gps mapping (way points), return to home functionality and can also share some GPS data with some of the OSD cards out...

    Crash's FPV build - some (dis)assembly required.

    Hey Crash, It's looking pretty good. I hope you install some AC in that mask though, it's going to be 200 degrees in there!

    Anyone else a single rotor pilot ?

    I fly single rotors as well (Eflite Blade mSR, SR & 400). That is what got me into multi-rotors to begin with. I have to admit though, I haven't taken any of my collective pitch helis out since I got serious about AP and building a platform for it. I just got tired of having an hours worth of...

    Bmore Curious

    Hey Dallas... welcome to the site. I live in Baltimore as well. It's nice to see someone else in the area that is interested in multi-rotors. I agree with Ken, the Dex is where it's at. I've been watching that thread over at RCGroups for a little while now. The only concern I have with...

    48 Hour Film Project

    It looks like we will be more in the suburbs of DC doing just some minor LOS shots. Nothing crazy at all, if anything. Since we don't know what the topic of the film will be till we get started, there may not even be any aerial shots. It could be something that is shot 100% indoors, but I'll...

    48 Hour Film Project

    Hey Guys, I just wanted to share an offer that was recently extended to me and ask some advise. I have a good friend that has assembled a team to work on a contest in Washington DC. It's called the 48 Hour Film Contest. The short description is that they take teams of film makers around...

    GoPro live video out?

    Hey Bart, are you shooting in R3? 60 fps can be hard for some computers to play back. I have a brand new top of the line iMac and it will even "jump" around sometimes when I'm previewing video shot at 60 fps. It's ok when I actually open the file, but in preview I have some issues sometimes...

    3D video anyone?

    David over at RCExplorer.se actually beat GoPro at their own game. He used two GoPros and synced them together to get a 3D movie before they even released this new 3D package.

    East Coast Fly-In?

    That's fine by me. I was actually just wondering the other day if these crazy spring winds would be over with by May 7 anyway. Just let me know what you have in mind.

    GoPro live video out?

    I have been using mine as both my video capture camera and an FPV camera. All I had to do was update the firmware and it worked as advertised. The problem I had though was when trying to use the GoPro to take stills while also using it as an FPV cam. Every time it snaps a pic the video feed...

    Camera suggestions

    Fortunately, I have a dedicated camera on-board for FPV, so the video out feature is not a deal breaker for me. After looking around some I found this review of the s95 that had me a little worried. I know that you can't go by just one review, but I can't imagine this guy made everything up...

    Lotus RC T580 -flew one today

    I'm very happy about that. ;-) So Mat, have you tried out the XAircraft 650 as well? I was thinking of maybe looking between the Lotus & XAircraft for a new quad this summer.

    Camera suggestions

    Thanks, Jes1111. I just took a look though and Amazon actually sells the s95 cheaper than the s90. I wonder why that is? Also, does the Cannon have a timed picture mode where it will snap off photos at a preset time interval? This is how I do my AP with the GoPro currently, I just set it up...

    Camera suggestions

    Hey everyone, I wanted to ask for some recommendations for a new camera. Here is what I'm looking for... As my fiance and I prepare to take our honeymoon in June we realized that our point and shoot is finally dead and needs to be replaced. I'd love to be able to find something that I...

    New Contender to the MultiRotor Market

    I guess they just showed this product line to the public for the first time at the Toledo Show. Looks promising, but I'm curious what the pricing will be like.
