    New Octo II for sale

    So you don't want to sell here...you just want to know what to charge? Compare your kit with other Ready To Fly MK's and figure out how valuable your time is. Shop hours can be as high as $130 so RTFs cost substantially more than kits. Why cut the cost of your camera mount when including it...

    A few stills from GH2 video

    The video was so shaky and wobbly that I didn't want to post it here and make you all nauseas. :) Taken on Bowen Island, BC just outside of Vancouver.

    Mikrokopter Any workarounds for shutter trigger on an 8 channel Tx?

    @Dave Thanks! Things are good. Happy New Year to you too (and everyone here at MRF). I am using easyfly a bit when I get disoriented. When I learn to fly FPV I don't think it will be necessary. @Tomstoy2 I will look into that. @RTRyder I was hoping to avoid spending $750+ right now :)

    Mikrokopter Any workarounds for shutter trigger on an 8 channel Tx?

    Maybe this has been addressed somewhere else on the forum. Apologies if it has. My issue is this: I have a DX8 8 channel Tx. I just bought a shutter cable for my GH2. It plugs directly into the FC and allows me to trigger the shutter using this method. The problem is I am using all 8 channels...

    Mikrokopter MK Transparent cover alternative?

    Thanks, holco, but those would be $80-90 to my door as well. Nice looking bird, btw. I got a quote for two tinted domes from cleardome.com. It was $115.70 shipped and including tax.

    Mikrokopter MK Transparent cover alternative?

    Thanks for the info, guys! Anything from Europe is out of the question, unfortunately, as I would pay an additional 30% duty. I think the plastic dome business is the one to be in. The margins must be huuuuuge :)

    Mikrokopter MK Transparent cover alternative?

    Ugh....I added shipping to Canada and it will cost me $76 for a piece of plastic. I need to find a better option. My stock cap is cracked and broken and held together with packing tape. Not the prettiest but it gets the job done.

    Before you buy, please read this

    The best reason to not buy RTF right there...that and the $$$$ you'll save. The most valuable time you can spend with your multi-rotor is learning how to put the thing together. It will save you so much frustration in the long run. This forum has been a fantastic resource with building and...

    Substitute for Roxxy 2827-35 motors?

    What's wrong with the Roxxy's? I ask because I have them on my octo2.

    Envirowar found Multicopters and now it has found you.

    Not sure I love the name, Dave. No offense intended but it strikes me as a bit...um...adversarial and shrill....just sayin'.

    Mikrokopter New MK HiLander-26 landing gear is garbage!

    if anyone cares, you can just drill 'em with a 5/64 bit and they go in easy.

    Mikrokopter New MK HiLander-26 landing gear is garbage!

    I recently had a big crash and snapped two of my HiLanders so I had to order a couple of replacements. Apparently they changed them and boy do they suck! The new ones are so poorly manufactured that they all have to be drilled to allow the screws. Not worth it to save a couple micrograms...
