    monitor suggestions???

    Was doing an fpv flight today using my 7" monitor, and as usual I was wishing for a larger monitor. Anybody know of a 12vdc monitor, about 13" that displays static, no blue or black screens when signal is lost?

    Last Chance

    I'm about to get my x/a Hexa back up and flying. Doing some things a little different. I want to increase my flight time so I'm going to do some load testing with running 2ea 4s 5000mah batteries in parallel. To counteract the added weight, I'm stepping up my prop size from 8" to 9", and...

    Dji iosd???

    I couldn't help but notice a couple of things. 1. They are for sale already in the UK, I couldn't find any for sale, or even pre-order here in the USA. What's up with that? 2. They don't have gps co-ordinates? What's the point, then?

    prop adapter question

    After stripping down my Hexa, I noticed that some of my adapters look a bit fatigued. I run Tiger Motors 2216. Right now it seems everybody is out of them in the USA, was only able to locate 1. Not to mention that everybody sells these at a premium price! These adapters bolt onto the top of the...

    fpv antenna question

    I'm running a Foxtech 5.8ghz 200mw vtx and cloverleaf and skewer on reciever. Getting good range for the system, but now I want more. My 500mw vtx is trashed and are currently out of stock.

    XAircraft The rescue

    A little background first. This is my 3rd fpv flight using my Hexa. I'm using a 200mw vtx and cloverleaf antenna. I've had a hand full of flights with my f450 and fpv, all ending with disaster due to having an fy91q fc, ( what a GIANT POS ). Ended up damaging my 500ctx, thus the 200mw vtx. I...

    Set up, X/A Hexa, WKM running 5.10, mt2216-900kv, mt30a esc's, mc6500pro gimbal ( which I hate ), GP H2. Lots of wind in most of these vids.

    5.08 results on my Hexa

    I've been having troubles dialing in my Hexa with the 5.06 firmware that came out, so much so that I removed it and reinstalled the old version. So, knowing full well there was now a version 5.08 out, I loaded it into my WKM. Long suspecting these expensive Graupner props were not working out...

    XAircraft Back together, again!!!

    After my incident with mother earth, I'm happy to report,,, It's done! The Hexa is now ready for flight testing! Couldn't find anything wrong with a motor or esc. I'm now lead to believe that a prop on #3 motor was slipping. The APC's have an interchangable hub to accomodate larger shaft...
