I have the new batch of AV130's. And I am trying it out on an Xaircraft based hex. The software allows you to adjust gains, low/mid/high range for gimbal. So when I try to level it I am adjusting the mid number which makes it move but not enough to get it level. So my question is, do you...

Using Xaircraft FC, when all 6 of my 30 amp ESC's are plugged in and I put the USB cable in, the computer gives me a message saying port is overloaded. Nothing else being used other than the FC on the computer. When I disconnect all the ESC's it is fine, and so far the only way to log on. Has...

As multi's seem to require you set your radio up in ACRO mode, i wonder if these radios will allow all the switches to be assigned. It is a heli radio. I haven't found any success in assigning the aux channels. I would like the aux 2 throttle hold to be my shutter and the 2 trim sliders on...

before i let my new bird fly free I have been slowly making sure everything is as good as I can get it. There is one thing that keeps me from feeling confident though. When I hold the unit down in the middle with relatively even force, the craft wants to lift evenly but then has a very strong...

http://www.xaircraft.org/ I would never have thought to see DJI instructions on their website.

I made a custom hex. A few of you told me to NOT use all 6 esc's with BEC or odd nasty things will happen. I know Open Pilot wants you to cut all the power cables but 1. This makes sense. But then I talked to Jeff at Xaircraft and he says whatever you do DO NOT cut the power lead from the...

Sorry, i couldnt dig up what i was looking for in a search. I just purchased the Avrotos 2814 11s motors and 11x4.7 SF props. I also grabbed the 11x5 graupners to compare. but a few people have told me to utilize the low rpm high torque nature of these 770kv motors, I would better suited with...

I made up about 80 mounts from 1/4" black delrin. They are made for use with .825" OD tubing. i got this stuff from carbonfibertubeshop.com . I would take an offer but am thinking $40/all 80 sounds like a pretty good deal. This does not include shipping.

I am designing a new type of frame where there is no center of the craft. I am trying to eliminate the need for extra structure just to centralize the FC. Does anyone have first hand experience with the results of placing the FC at the far end of the frame?

I am very happy with my Xaircraft v8 but I need more lift capacity. So I'm putting my fabrication shop to use. Here's my parts list: 1) laminated carbon 90deg layup, 8 layeres 282 carbon. used for body and any other parts I will need down the road. 2) bought .825" x .037" wall carbon...

After "feeling" a few motors I am starting to wonder how to interpret the strength of the magnetic "clicks." Out of 8 motors, the variance is huge! Does this mean the tolerances from one motor to the next are that different? if so, how does this effect performance? I heard that this feel...

I was remembering the ballistic recovery chutes we had on our ultralights. I wonder if there isn't some way to make a light remote deployable parachute for our multi's. I realize packing a 2+ meter chute would be space consuming, but with enough money on board one would wonder why "we" havent...

It has been said that single rotor helis are more efficient due to the fact they have only 1 motor and ESC. It has also been mentioned by someone that their quad was way more stable than their octo. The reason to have more motors is usually redundancy and payload. But what if at the end of...

Ok, I have to get a bunch of things off my chest. First off, I am getting into AP because I mentioned to a client that i did a video for that I always wanted to try this. He told me he would volunteer to be my first paying client once I got it figured out. I have owned about 5 helicopters and...
