    Tracking on All my props

    Heat and finished plasic products don't go very well together. You would need to know the exact temperature to apply without changing the properties of the plastic, and you would need to apply the heat only on a very small spot (best is close to the center) without deforming the shape of the...

    Tracking on All my props

You can try to remove some material (best with a fine metal file, it has to be perfectly flat since this part is sitting on the prop hub) from the bottom of the prop like in the picture...

    Help me choose a platform for AP

    +1 We all have fallen into the same trap....can't be that difficult to mount a camera to one of these flying Multicopters and get the job done....? But it is, because there is a lot of knowledge required to get the bird airborne AND to keep it there. You could get a "shopping list" from a lot...
