    Build thread: KRATOS from Flexacopter.....Ultimate Octo-Copter

    The actual build is finished now, all what is left is attaching the booms, some LiPo's and good nerves for the maiden flight. This won't happen before the next couple of weeks, since the Kratos will go straight into my container, heading South Africa. As a conclusion I can say that the Kratos...

    ESC throttle limits with PPM receiver?

    In general it doesn't matter what receiver / transmitter you are using....with most ESC's it is the same procedure. I do it always by connecting the ESC directly to the throttel channel on the receiver...one by one. Only then I connect them to the Naza/Wookong and do the stick calibration in...

    Tau Labs OP Developers banned

    Hello I have no experience at all with OP, but followed this thread from the beginning......it seems to me that all developers which have been banned are intelligent, skilled and very nice people. Reading the way osnwt has been treated, down to the lowest with involving his family, leaves a big...

    S800 foldable GPS mount

    I am also not sure about the frame being a multi-layer circuit-board, but it's impossible to find out without sanding the plate down micron by micron. I suspect it's a single-layer board, since there is enough space and manufacturing double-layer boards is a lot more expensive. Looking at the...

    S800 foldable GPS mount

    This is what I would do: stick some cello-tape over the drilled hole and the circuit (bottom side), than fill in some good epoxy from the top-side into the hole and let it cure. Pull the cello-tape off and your bottom-side will be even and repaired. On the thin broken circuit lane you could get...

    Absolutely great post....100 % agree with you. Because it is not that easy and a lot more involved than a good GPS-hold, it will also make sure that a dedicated and focused person can make his way to success.....even if the copters become more and more Plug'n Play. The copters are just an...

    WARNING - Firmware 5.24

    I am really very critical against DJI, but the fact that lot's of crash-reports related to GPS are somehow "concentrated", meaning that for a week there is almost no crashes, and than within a day or two we can read reports about GPS failures, crashes or fly-aways almost every hour made me...

    S800 foldable GPS mount

    Not a bad idea....but you would have to do a little dis-assembling since the circuit lanes are are on the bottom side of the top - plate. Just take the bottom-plate off, and with tilting the bottom side of the top-plate in the light you will see where the circuit lanes are running. When...
