    Did I Damage all my batteries?

    No.....and I am not familiar with the HiTec X4-Eighty..... If battery electrochemistry were 100% efficient there would be zero IR (and it gets worse as the battery and/or used cycles increase). Internal resistance is a representation of this inefficiency measured as effective series resistance...

    GoPro 3+ What video settings work best for you?

    GoPro3 and 3+ offers a multitasking feature to do videos but also take a series of stills but there is a bit of a tradeoff, i.e., can't take highest quality videos in that contiguous mode. I am not aware of any capability to switch between video and stills while in the air and if it did, I think...

    Did I Damage all my batteries?

    The battery chemistry health is best determined by looking at the internal resistance of each cell. Compare the charger results with the manufacturer's new battery IR specs to gain some perspective. Good quality chargers offer that feature. The manual calculation method is a bit tedious but it...

    DJI A2 Failure Videos

    Any radio frequency in or close to your RC freq, ss, fhss or not can be stomped all over if the signal strength is high enough - wreaking havoc with your RC. Also bear in mind that there are unintended spurious emissions that can result from unqualified radio system modifications and even some...

    Alturn USA?

    Interesting concept, i.e., motor bell weight almost eliminated by putting the magnets above and below the coils which improves motor efficiency in terms of reducing the total motor weight. But to capture investors, the designer/developer needs to provide two things: 1) Statistical performance...

    Dealing With the Public

    Many questions are designed to lead directly toward further confrontation and/or an argument. These tend to come from small minded individuals that are very legalistic or specifically trained to ask the following types of questions: leading questions, pointed question and loaded questions...

    The Next Steps... Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Based on some earlier data posted by DJI on the Naza in Wiki??? the Naza should not be used on MR airframes larger than 600mm... While that condition may have changed, I personally would spend more on the FC because the WKM and A2 are significantly superior. The new A2 being the very best...

    Step Up From GoPro Set Up Recommendations Please

    BGControllers: The BASECAM - Alexmos 2 and 3 axis Brushless Controllers are the way to go in my opinion. These can be configured to accommodate any size/weight of camera and lens assemblies/attachments once you know how to configure them. Their newer 32 bit BGC offers the best performance...

    Y6 vs. Hexacopter

    One possible way to find out is to buy one Cinestar flat 8 MR frame remove four motor arms and reconfigure into a an X8 reusing the four available spare motor mounts. If your not happy with the X8, you can switch back to the flat 8...

    Impossible to balance carbon fiber props from Foxtech??

    Yes..... the quality of the prop, hub in particular, is very poor.... Just a thought......Have you ever tried filling the hub hole with JB weld, then re-drilling hub hole after the JBweld has set?

    Is the DJI F550 a good choice?

    It is a good choice relatively speaking but I found it a challenge to get decent flight time after adding all the extra components especially the GoPro3 camera and 2 axis servo gimbal system. The Brushless gimbals systems are significantly heavier. So plan on getting motor arm extenders, larger...

    Very light jitter effect on Gopro Gimbal/Martinez

    Yes... that is what Martinez calls it in their software program. If set to low, your camera will fall away from the intended subject material, i.e., lose direction control. If set to high, your camera starts hunting back and forth quickly..... which also means that the deadband is too tight...

    Best Transmitter Receiver For The Money?

    Try to buy the Futaba T8FG Super without the 6208SB receiver, then buy the Frysky matching Receiver with s.bus..... for about $35 USD.

    Futaba 8FGS channels 9-12

    I am struggling with some similar challenges right now. One has to sit down with a pencil and paper and think really hard on how to map it all out at the RC transmitter end first..... Futaba configuration is not user friendly by is extremely flexible if you can stay on top of it. I call it...

    Running brushless motor without the circlip

    In North America "Fastenal" is a good supplier of circ-clips..... Don't re-use old circlips, make sure the new ones are not overstressed when put on. After installation, try to pull it off the shaft with your fingernail as a final check. And use a top quality tools to removing and inserting the...

    Pricing - Please stop cutting our own throats.

    If you really want to see some bad aerial video work, check out the opening scene of the old 1972 release of the Hitchcock movie entitled "Frenzy".... that plane must have been flying with a drunk pilot and videographer thru a shear line!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenzy
