    The cost of flying a Helicam per ounce

    Bob, it's a different answer for everyone, right? Your f550 weighs less than a DW skyjib. So add up the cost of your heli and divide it by the AUW of your gear. Just remember, the helicopter is just a paragraph, the video is the whole story. :) I'm sure a master sales guy such as yourself...

    Airflow debate

    It doesnt flex much as is. I made it from .060" 1" 6061 tubing. Problem is more logistics of wires. It isnt apparent at first glance but since the FC needs to be in center-ish of the heli, you really have an increase inwiring going all over the place. And that is 1 of 2 reasons this hasnt...

    Airflow debate

    Sure it does, but certainly no harm in thinking outside the box is there? I am the kinda guy that would totally put a square wheel on my dirt bike if it didnt break into pieces. :)

    Airflow debate

    I don't necessarily feel that this added vibration from either of these situations really hinders our performance. But more a theoretical question. I didn't think about the fact the blades aren't actually over the tube simultaneously due to the curve. Good point. But they are much much closer...

    I was referring to Deanot's post saying he had blue screening.

    Airflow debate

    Anyone who has known me for the last few years knows I have not given up on making a torus shaped heli. There are a few reasons I like this idea but another one came to mind. If you imagine the wind flow of a prop over our typical radial arm designed helis, you can imagine that the airflow is...

    ImmersionRC 600mw VTX issue

    If you are getting a blue screen at all, that could be your problem. I had a very frustrating experience trying to figure out why I couldnt go more than 20' with my setup, immersion 600mw 5.8 with cloverleafs. The problem ended up being my lilliput monitor went to blue. I was thinking it...

    Hoverfly Hoverfly Gimbal Controller

    Since you have an octo though, I think your wookong wont have any gimbal outputs since they are used for motors 7/8. I have a low hour y6 with Av130 i am trying to sell if interested.

    Prop balancing!

    I think the best invention for balancers would be a magnetic setup that allowed you to install your assembled prop AND bell housing off the motor and spin that whole assembly. The steel shaft could go to the magnet side and the nose would need a cone to center it on a bearing for since that is...

    This 2nd switch does huh?!

    You need to take your transmitter apart and solder all the red wires together. Then let your soldering iron warm up and force it through the 1st "A" where it says NAZA. Try not to go through the whole flight controller and dont breathe the fumes. Now run a lead from the group of red wires from...

    Plug-in HDMI converters, PAL/NTSC question

    Buying a pal cam just to use that hdmi converter sounds crazy to me. Why would you want to have 1 camera with a different format than all your others? I've never tried it but how does playing 25 fps work on 60 hz TVs? And you would need to conform your 25/50 fps to 24/30 which is an additional...

    last game at candlestick park

    I've asked this guy to not do what he's doing a few times. As he is clearly local to me, I am even more bothered by it. These videos aren't good for anyone. How else can this be made clear to you???

    How do you surf MultiRotorForums.com? Poll attached

    I use active threads but have always wanted the option to go back a few pages as there are sometimes recent threads that drift off the page. Using Search is way to cluttered.

    F450 carbon fiber landing gear extensions

    Thanks for the loyalty guys. I guess being the 1st to make something doesnt mean jack squat in a world of shameless copycats. Though I admit the product is a different design. It makes me feel for the few that come up with a product and have it stolen and made overseas just to sell it cheaper...

    DJI PHANTOM 2 Launched!

    DJI, you are a bunch of crooked car salesmen! You got some nerve to get on here advertising your stuff and not even answer the guys question in between your posts! I will NEVER buy anything from you.

    Oracle Arena

    Man, you are doing all the things I dont do for safety reasons. At least there was not a game going on I guess. I work for the Warriors and they asked me to fly over a game and I said I wouldnt do it because I didnt want to be a hypocrite after advocating not doing this on the forums. I guess...

    Landing Pad for Multi Rotors

    What someone needs to do is make a platform that is self leveling using existing gimbal tech. Would be super easy to do, its no different than a gimbal really. Now you can initialize on boats. Take off on any angle ground.

    Need a small high quality point and shoot with GPS tagging

    I just traded my Sony Nex5n for a Sony rx100 as my travel PaS and small heli backup camera. Pretty sure most of them have that gps nowadays.

    F450 carbon fiber landing gear extensions

    Just wanted to post that our leg extensions are now much lighter than before. A leg set with hardware only weigh 17gr/leg. I have over 100 in stock. Batwings are always in stock. http://www.irisaerial.com/products.html Thanks Yuri
