I have the KDE7215XF-135 running on a copter of mine and I have to say that I am very pleased with the performance (temperature, strength ...) just the perfect choice for heavy lifting. In all testing and flying I did so far, the motors really behaved as well as expected. keep on bringing up...

Already three year ago I had an ecilop frame where the Naza was positioned 14cm (x,y +10) off the center. It flew great. From my point of view, if the basic gains are dialed in, the ACC only needs to do corrections. If your Basic gains are too low the copter already flies with the ACC, in this...

I have no photographic background, but I already visited quite a number of houses as a prospect. What I want to see is (as view from above) where the house is located (which you did) and also I would like to see a panoramic turn with the cam also showing the horizon (to get an imagination of the...

My personal predictions/goals for 2016 are -3h of flying time at 30km/h average speed (with FPV, pure electric). -1h of flying time with 10kg payload at 30km/h average speed (pure electric). 30min of flying time with 5kg payload at 120km/h average speed. best regards Ferdinand

Two flights a 18min. I was cycling to the airfield and did some flying there (first battery), since no one else was there (for an experience exchange :D) I was cycling back home taking another route (second battery). Overall it was no longer than one hour (cutting and editing took some more...

Never in the world! You can do a quad that is flying better, but you can never get better pictures/videos from a DIY-copter. Also no sonar, no optical flow, no digital video downlink with a DIY-build for that money. You need only to buy a P3, and if you already own a smartphone you can do FPV...

I think it is time to revisit this thread: http://multirotorforums.com/threads/what-will-happen-in-2015-make-your-prediction.22564/ and ask the question for 2016! best regards Ferdinand

The drone came down vertically, and perfectly leveled. It came down exactly in the flight-path where it should fly. (Should be exactly above the current racer, like it has been done at the racers before). It was exactly above the racer, and it crashed exactly at the position of the racer. The...

This was a Phantom III (covered as a DIY-PRO-rig)! Always these DJI-Phantom Flyers, getting such stuff as christmas-present, unpack, have no idea about rules or responsibility and no clue that one never fly over people! Phantom III should be banned, they destroy our hobby and our business! No...

Break, steer, accelerate ... like in formula one. Do or do not, there is no try!

I am sorry if I write here, but if you want to setup a copter, it is basically very simple if you stick to the rules of thumb 1:1:1 copter : payload : battery In the heavy lift case this would be (at most) 5kg for a copter that is able to fly with 15kg AUW, 5kg battery (at min) and of course...

You should check if the mixer is set to X8, I assume it is (back to) a quad (whatever might be the reason to this). best regards Ferdinand

My point is, that if you want to do thermal imaging you need a second cam (even a very small very cheap one) for clear view. You cannot identify what you see on the thermal cam, you are just able to "found something". best regards Ferdinand

again a video, seems to be perfect for the title of this thread: best regards Ferdinand

.., just testing for a local store how softdrinks could be delivered in the future using drones :D best regards Ferdinand

Yet another video: getting more confidence .. best regards Ferdinand

@matwell Just to be precise, it is me on the bicyle controlling the P3 via follow me, so the remote control was within a range of about 100m all the time, so not really long range. best regards Ferdinand

You will not regret it. Perfect tool. best regards Ferdinand

Yes 4x 12S22Ah for that payload

more testing Here yet another video: best regards Ferdinand
