    Picloc 3x setting experience etc.

    Hey George, will this cover the JR11X? I tried mine with the i channels and a R1221 receiver and Toolz see's the radio but PicLoc doesn't do anything.

    Photo Higher HERO series camera gimbals

    I just tried looking at Photo Highers web site and it is down. What's up? Is it because NAB?

    Taco and Lobster Copters...LOL

    http://tacocopter.com/ This is just hilarious! Maybe some day, but not with the way things are going. BTW, I'll take two taco's and could you not cook the lobster? I want another critter for my reef tank................ LOL

    Picloc 3x setting experience etc.

    I've not seen the gel yet, have some on the way, but is it sturdy enough to just put the velcro to the gel? How about a plate(mass), cut to size for the PicLoc, that is gelled to the mounting plate and has velcro for easy removal of the PL? So the end stack would be; - Mounting Plate - Gel -...

    Picloc 3x setting experience etc.

    Lanzar, that does look great...especially unprocessed. Too bad the cameraman wasn't looking at a monitor... :-)) Good job though!

    SkyJib and basic HL settings for MK Toolz

    Hey Lars, Yes it's proper alignment. There's several pics of the AeroDrive set up with Axi's, which have long enough leads to reach the BLC's to show what's being used. The Pletty's have to have an extension added to all of the leads and a lot of guys(including me) just use black wire so I...

    SkyJib and basic HL settings for MK Toolz

    Thanks Seattle for confirming the spin up, one less thing to worry about. I do have a HL MK power board built and I also have another FC 2.1ME. Actually, they are for my partners DW 8HL that's being assembled. I can check both but you're correct, I do however have access to the partners nice...

    SkyJib and basic HL settings for MK Toolz

    OK, still no go. Something of interest though, when initializing, the spin sequence is.... 1,3,2,4,5,6,7,8. Two and three are out of sequence. Toolz motor test correspond correct. Also, when calibrating the gyros, I get three beeps in rapid succession. My other Oktos, I get two beeps, a pause...

    New landing gear from Warthox...crazy!

    This undercarriage is great for Halloween. This year, SKULLY gets his own remote for his torso, head, and arms along with two way comms in the skull. This guys causes accidents.

    Mikrokopter MK ANTI VIBRATION PLATE, would this work ?

    Nice results Lars. That's a lot of expensive gel, but looking at how it works it would be worth it. You guys mention increasing the mass... What about rigging the stack with rigid stand-offs to the AeroDrive 8 and supporting the AeroDrive 8 with the rubber stand offs? The AeroDrive 8 is heavy.

    SkyJib and basic HL settings for MK Toolz

    Hey Seattle, Not sure about the Okto2 Vs Okto but everything else is YES, and then some as we have two stock MK okto's and a Hexa flying. The difference is the Black Boards. We even looked at the two different processors available on the FC. BTW, I rather enjoyed running the motors on the...

    SkyJib and basic HL settings for MK Toolz

    Yes, that is exactly my current set up....with a little less gel under the pressure sensor, ;-)). Although I can't read the number on the servo power TRACO, I'm using 6.5 volts.

    SkyJib and basic HL settings for MK Toolz

    Thanks guys. Well, today's testing wasn't great. The pitch reaction time is too slow to keep up, the SJ ended up up its tail most of the time and occasionally the nose. Didn't even break ground! Good thing the test site had about 4 inches of freshly cut and very cushy grass. No damage at all to...

    SkyJib and basic HL settings for MK Toolz

    Thanks Lars. I'll review it but first I need to double check that I installed the correct 25V Elko Cap on the MK FC. I already updated both of the DC/DC converters to TRACO's for the 5S power. They have a slightly lower max input voltage than the ARCH but the efficiency is a little better for...

    SkyJib and basic HL settings for MK Toolz

    OK, so my SkyJib 8 is ready to test fly. Since there's already a few flying, I'm curious as to any changes from stock settings that were made. Mostly the gains... Heavy Lifters are presumably slower to spool up and decelerate, so that would make them slow to respond. I assume that you guys...

    MK FC 2.1 ME Boot Loader

    Thanks Lars, that was one of the issues. It's more of , "the boot loader for FC2.1 is not public domain and can not be read out thanks to our good friends in china". What's the difference between the older(better built) Red Boards and the 2.1 boot loaders?

    MK FC 2.1 ME Boot Loader

    OK, I see this on the Wiki pages and I'm not sure what it means... although I get it that they don't want China de-engineering it, the boot loader for FC2.1 is not public domain and can not be read out thanks to our good friends in china. a AtMega1284 Prozessor with programmed bootloader is...

    New Power Distro Board for High Power apps!

    Hey Seattle, I'm anxious as well but I have a Red Bull HD shoot tomorrow morning in Tampa so the install will have to wait a couple of days. I agree about the solder but they could still at least wash the boards after. That residue IS corrosive.

    New Power Distro Board for High Power apps!

    Not a great macro lens but here's a couple. Try zooming if you can. I'll try again with another cam later but I think these show some of my issues with QC. I have no doubt that the board will work as there's evidence that it was tested. The motor pads have scratches consistent with a clip-on...
