    Kloner's Klean Kable idea.

    Well, it's not really kloner's idea but he was the one who told me about this and I give him credit for it. When running cables where you have long distances or running multiple frequencies in close proximity, cat6 cable supposedly works miracles over standard servo wire. If you go to Home...

    JR vs. Futaba

    I've always been a Futaba guy but I bought a JR thinking I would end up with an MK and wanted the PPM output. I know they now have converters but there seems to me some manufacturer bias towards a certain brand. Does anyone know for a fact if a company designs their controller around, say...

    I just flew it yesterday and everything works perfectly. I sold the wookong and parting out the rest of it. it is very well made, all parts I CNC'd at my shop. The Avroto motors have less than 20 hours on them. The esc's are Maytechs v1's. Just needs flight controller and batteries and...

    Lytro camera

    Just heard about this little caera that allows you to adjust focus afterward. Software can even correct out of focus images. maybe someone will try one of these in a heli some day...

    Does having more motors make for a smoother yaw?

    I have an X8 with hoverfly pro and a Y6 with Wookong. because the two have different flight controllers it is hard to tell what my problem is due to. The issue is the yaw is borderline erratic. it always has been on the wookong but i dont know if it is because I am using the Y6 configuration...

    Hoverfly Hoverfly GPS

    I have a new Hover GPS and first thing i noticed is that there are 2 ports where the gps receiver could plug into. The manual's pictures show a unit with only 1 port so i have no idea which is the correct one. I am also curious what the super short cable is for as it is way under the 10cm...

    Diagnose this one!

    Ok, so apparently I was not as meticulous as I thought I was being as I left one of the negative wires off of an ESC! I had no idea until I had another bad esc which I decided to recently replace. what baffles me is that the ESC seems to have been working. I am using the HoverFly pro board...

    Are my batteries going bad?

    I dusted off my WKM Y6 to take up to the mountains this weekend. I had something very weird happen for the first time ever. My throttle was 100% full and i still barely had enough juice to cushion a decent that would otherwise be no issue at all. I did change the firmware from 5.08 to 5.12...

    Is this really new?

    Maybe the patent is related to the fact it flies on a wifi network? http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2012/09/hon-hai-invents-unmanned-aerial-vehicle-control-system-for-security-surveillance.html

    FS700 shots

    We dont have the camera insured yet so no heli shots. But I thought I would share some clips we took over the last few weekends. Mostly kitesurfing with our friends. My buddy is starting up Trickmob.com so we are using a lot of the footage to help kick the site off. The camera is so much fun...

    All joking aside, this is some pretty amazing stuff. I dont know why it is only low def. Almost hard to tell if it is CG, other than tha plane of course.

    calling all Kloners, calling all Kloners.........FPV Q

    A friend wants to collaborate on filming some sailing races using Zephyrs instead of helis. I guess less risk and easier to get a nice fly by over the event. some questions: 1. When flying fpv can you use the gopro only if it doesnt show the wing in the frame for orientation? On the heli...
