    Well, of course you are! Silly me. Must have had one to many last night, my appologies. Always wanted to go to Austria, such a beautiful place!

    Flexacopter -----The Making of an octocopter "KRATOS"-----

    Chris, for the first time I noticed your location. Are you sure Oz is on planet Earth? I alway thought is was a mythical location? Kind of like were I'm from, Wyoming!

    one Motor slow to fire up

    Sounds like either the esc calibration, or a motor issue. As suggested, swap the motor with another one and bench test it with the props removed. If it follows the motor, then that is your problem and you will need to replace it. If it stays on that arm, chances are it's the esc. I would not...

    Wookong Woes

    Fredor, I only speak for myself as a WKM owner with several 100 flights. I found it to be extremely reliable. The only advise I can offer concerns upgrades to firmware. When a new one comes out it's best to wait several weeks to see if others have issues with the new firmware. There has been a...

    DJI F450 Naza mount w/ Velcro

    I don't remember how far out the acft has to be, 20meters comes to mind. Could be the acft is moving out that distance first? Try fs at 20 meters out and see if it works correctly first. bOnafide, the The Naza has to be hard mounted. When laying down the stickty tape, ensure you don't get a...

    Alex Mos brushless gimbal controller

    Rotorjocky, I admire your wish to monitor poachers with a multi. My concern would be with your safety! These things are not exactly silent. To be close enough to do so would put you in risk of being shot. Bullets fly with a hell of a lot more accuracy than multi's do. To attempt to do what you...

    Flexacopter -----The Making of an octocopter "KRATOS"-----

    I would label that as an excellent maiden flight with that new beautiful flagship, Holco! Doesn't look like it needed much to tune her in at all. What is the all up flying weight of that beast? Flight time was impressive for such a heavy ship, too! Liked your approach to the whole project, take...

    Alex Mos brushless gimbal controller

    That is, by far, the best results I've seen from these yet! All the other vids I've checked out all had deffinate roll issues. These are really going to be sweet. Like Janoots, I'm more than happy to sit back and wait for things to develop.

    Fw 5.20 - (5.18 need upgrade)

    I'm thoroughly convinced that once you find a firmware that works, don't mess with it. For me 5.16 has been excellent. Flying fpv without uhf, I liked the idea of setting the distance limit. Best to just not go too far, see if they really have all this mess sorted out. Still not convinced any of...

    Prop Balancer

    You know, one thing that never gets discussed about prop balancers, one that is extremely important, probably because us guys that always use one take it for granted, is; When you set up your balancer, it's very, very important to make sure the balancing shaft is level first before starting...

    Contest design idea for Spring, 2013 (S. Hemisphere, Fall)

    What I think would be a good idea for fpv quads is a Red Bull style air race event, just like what you see on tv, except with quads instead of Extra 330's. I love watching those events. It would combine all the above rrquirements. Guess you might want spotters dressed in attack dog training...

    Hoverfly Power filter released the magic smoke.

    Damn! Just yesterday I installed one on my Hexa to run my vtx and camera off of the 4s main pack, however, I installed before a a voltage regulator dropping the voltage down to 12 vdc. I hate reading stuff like this!

    Cycling Between Modes

    Yes, you must switch modes to cancel out of rth And take back control. Just switching off the failsafe switch is not enough. As far as your vtx signal is concerned, sounds like a placement thing. Give us some pics to work with, please. Oh, and congrats on a successful rth! Always better than a...

    Vin, good luck with the full flight test, buddy! Hope you get some decient weather this weekend. I'm sure it will handle a full flight just fine.
