    Motors with bullet connectors

    I do each one individually, then if there is a problem, just slice the covering off & slip in a new motor. Ross

    Aerodrive 8 vs Herkules II what's better for a DJI

    Yes thats a shame about the plush 60A, I have found a programmer for silabs esc's...but I really dont have a clue where to start? I am running 12x6 apce props. Ross

    Motors with bullet connectors

    From power board to ESC's I have soldered my connections, from the ESC's to motors I have kept the bullet connectors, but wraped each bullet in heatshrink.

    CineStar camera gimbal

    Ken, what size motors are you running & what does the manufacturer recomend as regards prop size? I ask because I use apce12x6 props, which are recomended size for my motors, but I wanted to know if you found bigger better or smaller better? Ross

    New vTX and Antennas

    Here's what my fiancee uses when cotrolling the camera, it could just as well be a MR aircraft as she uses a DX7:- Its a carbonfibre/fibreglass tray, with sprung loaded metal arms that hook over her shoulders. The DX7 sits on the tray & to the left + right are arms rests/wrist rests. Under one...

    All ESC's should be a minimum of 400Hz, thats a standard ESC. Ross

    Droidworx AD8 Hercules Photohigher , Professional Heavy Lift AP Build

    After watching your video Parick, I gave my LED's a go & had some 25mm clear heatshrink, I only used 6 LED's on the 2 front legs. If you look at my avatar you will see its a long exposure night flight with a 3D foamie, so yes they are very bright :) :) 800ma should be nothing...dont forget thats...

    Octo Build for Aerial Video

    I also fly a Droidworx SJ8 using 60A ESC's & emax GT2820 motors on 12x6 props APCE (not slofly). As for the video TX, you will need a 3s lipo, 7.4v will not even switch it on! Basically you want to do what I want to do, I want to have my DX201 FPV cam mounted so that I can get in closer to...

    WKM and reflashed ESCs

    Hi Ken, I was going to do my ESC's, they are plush 60A...ripped off the heatshrink & they are the wrong chips, so the 60A ESC's cant be reprogrammed yet!!!! Did you up the 400hz timing? Ross

    Droidworx AD8 Hercules Photohigher , Professional Heavy Lift AP Build

    Let's say for arguments sakes that there is 4 x 50cm LED's. Total = 2mtrs & @ 400ma per mtr = 800ma! I must admit its very easy to see it & adds so much further distance. I do a lot of night flying (3D fixed wing) & LED's treble to viewable range, so this octo will be seen for some great...

    Droidworx AD8 Hercules Photohigher , Professional Heavy Lift AP Build

    Very nicely doen Patrick, one thing that worries me slightly...the LED's? Be careful you dont get any glare onto the camera lens or it will tinge your final film! All camera lenses pick up some form of refracted light & having so many LED's could cause you a problem!! Apart from that, what a...

    AV 200 servo upgrade

    Thanks Sebas, thats the same mounting & drive system as my askman mount, except it uses 360 degree robotic servos! I much prefer the modded savox servo & extrnal pot like your mount uses, hence why I wanted to see a photo. Your main cogwheel is 72 teeth???? Ross
