That's quite impressive Ken, though I think my main problem today was taking off & flying with AH on :( The 3 minutes could well have been 5 mins, thats 8 motors as well & 2000ma less than your pack......Though I hope a change of props might help! As it stands I agree, the emax are greedy...

Hi Stan, let me say they are very easy to mod..you could cut off the bottom plate, add a few inches on & then reatach? the bottom back on. The legs could exntended as well to accomadate the changes.If you want to see my SJ8, check out my galleries on here. Regards Ross

I think she's 4.5kg....flight time, the best I can get really thanks Mat Ross

Terry, if paypal play hard to get, they hate the fact that you can go to your issuing card company & do a chargeback...so you get twice the protection. They say you get the same protection direct from your bank account...back ask yourself how? Once you've paid out of your bank account you cant...

Cheers Mat, so I will be on with 5 1/2mins max I would think, so maybe I will need to run 4 lipos. Ross

Nicely done Jeff, cant wait for snow here either ;) Ross

How to get protection. 1)Use paypal to pay with 2)Always fund paypal with your credit card, NEVER direct from your bank account. Ross

Thanks mate, so I will need to reverse that channel, so that switch down is 254 (ON). So maybe thats why it didnt seem so powerful ;) How stupid of me....... Ross

Excuse the shots & cables on the gimbal Stan...its been away in a duty box for 6 months as I have been trying to make this SJ8 first, mount is to be connected when I'm complete, so its just slung on for now,m but Im sure you can see it clearly:- It's 6 inches wide by 5 inches tall thats the...

Stan, i'm seriously no expert...it turns out it might have been my AH setup that caused my earlier problems, cant tell until its daylight again tomorrow. DW SJ series have serveral mount options...are we talkign cam mount or motor mounts here? My camera mount is a askman trex600 heli mount & has...

Craig you might be right here! I have set my AH up on AUX2 on my DX7....I have altered travel adjust etc & its on 254 & 0 now. So AH on = 254 (high) or 0(low)??? Ross

How big was this thing??

Hi Bart, I put back in 1780ma in each pack give or take a few mah's ;) I have the low voltage cutoff set at 3.3v, I was being careful if you get my drift. So basically I took 50% of pack for 3 mins....maybe I will get about 4 1/2 mins but that would be really pushing it I think. ESC's are ALL on...

AH is definately off as I can climb up to any height I want & back again...but I will make sure again ;) Total weight is...2 secs let me go way her....between 4 - 5Kg including 2 x lipos! Though Im not sure how accurate our bathroom scales are ;) What motors are you runnign on yours Craig? Ross

Hi Boris, I dont have jeti or any downlink...just the FC2.1ME & I2C-PWM..nothing else yet! I have awatt meter that I will try later today on just one motor & see what its drawing etc. As for what amount of batteries they normally use...havent got a clue mate to be honest. I was the first to...

I'm having problems & this looks like I could help as well as be helped. I am running a Droidworx SJ8 octo, using emax 2820/07 motors & 12x6 props. I have 2 x 4s lipos rated at 4000ma each (35-70c discharge), so thats a total of 8000ma...flight time today from fully charged was 3 minutes...

Hi guys, Got a slight problem I think. I'm using 2 x 4s 4000mah (35-70c) lipos in parallel on a droidworx SJ8 octo running MK firmware etc. The motors are emax GT 2830/07 & 60A ESC's (yes Im running I2C-PWM). I flew her for the first time properly today & managed a few circuits...but landed at...

EVERYTHING :) :) To be honest Craig, I tested my octo yesterday & it was nearly full throttle until lift off...went out again today with 2 fully charged 4000ma 4S 35-70c lipos, running them in parallel & had a quick test flight. Done about 3 orbits lasting a total of 3 mins...measued the...

Glad to have been of such a small help to you Craig, that's what these forums are for...now if only I could get help ;) Ross

Dave Im impressed mate. Glad you have a passion for the enviroment, so many dont! Questions in the viewers mind.....I spent hours doing such in a studio with complete control over every beam of light, loved it.
