In Nic I trust. Hey drew, you should extend my offered discount to this guy, he was one of the first to jump on board and promote XA and knows his stuff. Definitely one of the handful of people on here I don't feel is biased and would only post the real truths. I'm a bad person to demo these...

I'm hesitant to jump in on this conversation but since I have all of the above, i will. First off I love macs and HATE pc's. but comparing a 5+ year old PC to a new mac is no different than comparing it to a new PC. Where apple excels is in its OS and build quality of enclosures. No...

I was just going off of Drew's own comment about how the RTH is "scary" fast. As long as it ends up around home and doesnt crash or randomly fly back to China, I am happy.

It is nice having a little control over height and rate of return. If it returns reliably but an an alarming rate that might not be to some's liking. I would rather everything happened very smoothly just for piece of mind. Does the SuperX have a height of return variable?

That brings up another question. How is the AH on the SuperX? Is it like DJI where it's always on? I will say DJI's AH is pretty nice. You dont even think about it. On my hoverfly I have to rely on really well tuned throttle curve and a good knowledge of what the heli does at a certain...

Kloner you gotta tell us if you are in GPS or not. Try it all out for us. Rth and all. C'mon test monkey! Oo Oo eeek eeek eeek.

You beat me to posting this. thanks.

Drew, have you actually tried this? It's rare for a FC to initialize on an unstable platform. Stacky, that's why I brought up using a smaller lipo like a 1000mah 2-3s, not enough to do damage but enough to keep it powered up. plus what controller are you using that just powers up without a...

kloner, have you tried these? http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/22/tech/innovation/apparently-this-matters-shreddies/index.html

sounds like the best answer to this is to keep a lipo plugged in at all times once you have gyros initialized on land. maybe a 1000 mah 3s to be safe. Then just swap it after plugging in a full size cell on the 2nd batt cable. Assuming you have 2 lipos powering your heli, otherwise this would...

I have to defend my friend again. After it crashed he flew the Trex700 back up, no auto anything, and everything went fine. So i guess the wookong just barfed? Either way, you're not getting me to show up with a wookong on a job.

drew, FYI, I never received a PM or response to my email. did you get an email? thanks Yuri

no this was different. it was in atti, at the last minute he kneeled down to check something on the camera and accidentally switched it into manual. So he took off in manual and it hovered for a second but it just got progressively more and more unstable until it flipped upside down. there is...

I have raw footage of the crash which I know to be from manual. it is not manageable! but it didnt climb, just rolled around like a balancing on a beach ball in a swimming pool. No one is that good, not even Denny!

my very experienced friend accidentally flipped into manual on his wookong and he could not control it to save his life. He has flown as long as any seasoned pilot, I watched this happen in front of my own face and was amazed how erratic the wookong was in manual mode. It is NOT like flying a...

great! hard to tell if it came down under power or just fell. seemed to be level the whole way down. Ugg. we're doomed.

I think this is a great idea, I've actually thought of doing this myself. I dont see why the FAA would care if it is tethered and limited to a reasonable height. Hopefully it does a lot more than fly an FPV cam. They should be marketing this with something that will lift an Arri Alexa or 10+...

This video captures the latest hardware being loaded on a plane in China. I think this might explain why a large percentage of owners have fly-aways and erratic behavior. http://vitaminl.tv/video/1064?ref=fbsm disclaimer(this is not true and for amusement purposes only)

interesting frame rate timing with the blades.

Bart, please leave me out of the FAQ's if I have a say :). I know my decisions are erratic at times, although I would still sell everything I have if someone wanted to give me an honest offer. I have a lead with Comcast that could potentially be regular. Drew, that's very kind of you to...
