It is either something that got stuck in there and chipped the magnet or it was already chipped and just got lodged in between the housing and made things worse. It's easy to say check your motors before applying power but I don't. You can't always hear or see these small things either until...

I was kinda asking the same thing. i actually taught sailing at that lake when I was in high school. Was not super clean water. I dont see why you couldnt walk out on one of the long docks and get a sample there. Or, like you said, just take a boat. I guess boys gotta use their toys.

I would say it's not even worth the risk if its not in the specs. It's totally possible the esc's might work but running anything beyond the ratings is just asking for trouble.

dont you already have a huge octo? If so i would think the Y6 would compliment that best.

you can fix it by taking a grinder and erasing the "Made in China" markings. :)

I had a dust speck on my 5n sensor in almost the exact same place. :) I dont know why that cam is so susceptible to dust.

auto rotation specifically refers to single rotor variable pitch helicopters. If i am understanding you correctly you have loose connectors and are wondering if you can tape them together? If they are super loose, replace them. If they are pretty secure but you want a little extra holding...

How many times have I told you to not solder and heat shrink anything and to just twist the wires together and use electrical tape? You dont listen! :)

try swapping another motor with m2 and see if its the same. Would be interesting to see results.

Damn those foldies are pricey!

I suppose that could be true but it does seem like "they" have made some improvements over the years. Maybe it's just coincidence that the videos we see are better setup to deal with a motor out. So far I've seen every config except a quad land safely with a motor out. We have all over...

It seems DJI and a few others have found a way to make a hex controllable in a motor out situation. Yes a quad is SOL no matter what FC. It has a lot more to do with how much power reserve you have though. So don't expect a hex that is overloaded with gear to act the same if you are flying at...

Corey, well said. DJI is the answer you dont really want. Couldn't have put it better. Xaircraft has always been very bad at marketing. They need to hire someone that can spruce up their image. Their website is light years better but still lacks some info such as videos. I wish they would pay...

Thanks for all the replies. this info really helps.

Thanks. It will be interesting to see your results.

yes, that's basically what I was presenting.

I am curious to hear some feedback as the s1000 and some other manufacturers start making more folding props. Are these structurally reliable? Are they a PITA to balance? My main thought/question was really if they tend to self balance or make vibrations worse by not being rigid. Can you...

Well, i could be wrong, but this is how I would go about it given the info from XA. So if you were to assign say aux 3 or 4(one of the sliders) on the radio, you could adjust your gains as necessary but after its set, instead of having to physically unplug the cable from the IO you would simply...

Ben, we have very similar thoughts. I would wait for the next set of brushless controllers to come out. I think that will answer itself in the next 4 months. gh4 is the goto cam for sure. the RAW in the BMPC would be nice as well. I dont care for 4k so much as some of the other features but...
