Congrats to the new pilots here. This thread was tremendous! Some great philosophy and even better humor. I really enjoyed reading this one fellas.

Lol.. exactly!

No fpv in the beginning for me. Strictly line of sight piloting. The cam op will have his own 17" OLed Sony for framing. Separate 17" monitor station for the DP. Keep'em from leaning over the shoulder of my operator. ;)

I just ordered and will soon be building my new skyjib 8 package. I plan on using a dual operator setup in the beginning and potentially forever. After all I've read here and the hours spent watching all of the amazing video shot with this platform... it seems to me it would be hard to...

I have the 15.5 Xoar props ordered. He said they are 500.. Told him what I was building and why.. said the Maytechs would be perfect.

I'd love that formula as well.

Talked to Patrick today for a bit. He made a great case for the AMP500 Epic motors. Ordered a set with May tech 65optos. I'll start there and see where I end up in a couple of months. Thanks guys.

I will give Patrick a call when they open up today. Lanzar, the KW10 looks like a great motor. almost 2.5lbs lighter for a set than the axi. Is it a matter of personal preference? Do the AXI give some advantage that I'm not seeing until I start to experiment with different setups? Thanks...

Hi Guys, Just read on Aerial Media Pro's website that they have had some trouble out of the 4120/20 motors on heavey lift MRs.. I had planned to order the AXI motors today but am now in a holding pattern to figure this out. Hadn't even seen their site till last night while looking to see who...

Boris, Do you know if Andreas has any available Herkules 3? I would need two. Thanks in advance. Would be about $1500USD correct? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Unless I'm misinterpreting this page... I believe I'm good. http://www.hobby-lobby.com/axi_gold_4120_20_outrunner_motor_3040_prd1.htm?view=desktop&disableMobileView=1 Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

Baja, I have looked into the Herkules 3 but it seems i cannot find one available for sale. Very impressive specs though. The old saying "you get what you pay for" seems to be in play here.

Evening all. I wanted to put together the list of parts and pieces that I have compiled and researched. I'd appreciate those more experienced builders pointing out any glaring deficiencies in my planning. 1. Droidworx SkyJib Heavy Airframe 2. Droidworx Crash cage SJ-8/X4. High impact high...

No worries.. Thanks Josh

I fail to see in my OP where I said anything about flying over a crowd. But that attitude is expected i guess.. Tstrike.. great post and Droider as well. I've made myself dizzy reading threads about whats legal and whats not in the states. I have no desire to debate the issue. To each his...

Great thread! Any updates?

Dolby, thanks for the reply. I had considered that and just may add a smallish build to practice with.. however there is a certain motivating factor for me to aquire and make ready a platform for the epic. I'm going to pull the trigger either way. I currently operate over crowds on a...

Hi everyone. I've been lurking for some time on the forum reading as much as I can. I think I have decided to build a SJ8 HL for high end production work. I am currently a Jimmy Jib owner/operator and have been for over 10 years. I hoping that those skills will help me learn to fly quickly...
