    Hoverfly Finally gave the GPS board a try...

    In my experience, the Hovefly Pro is very reliable. I've got over 1600 flights on my Cinestar with Hoverfly Pro and haven't had an issue. Manual flight is awesome and the board is easy to set up. Auto-leveling has worked great for several months. As of v4.8, the altitude hold works really...

    Hoverfly Finally gave the GPS board a try...

    Right now, raising the board with Bart's kit sounds like a good idea. I'll have to relocate the battery tray to do so. Another option that I'm looking at is shielding the board from EMI better. Maybe a blank circuit board down below would help (I got that idea from here).

    Hoverfly Finally gave the GPS board a try...

    So I finally gave the Hoverfly GPS board a try today. I don't have a mast for the GPS sensor yet, so I put it on the front boom. Is raising the GPS sensor necessary if I'm getting the blue LED representing a good lock? I know it is shown on a mast in the manual. I went through the manual and...

    Can someone recommend a bracket for the Mediatek GPS module? Also, as an alternative, is it OK to mount the GPS module on one of the booms? Thanks for any help. all the best, Ben

    Hoverfly HoverFly Sport - artificial horizon not working properly

    Pete, I once had a situation where an octo would fly forward fine, but cornered weird. I landed it and double checked the ESCs I had just hooked back into the board - I had confused the ESC wires of two booms that were next to each other. Just goes to show how good the Hoverfly boards are -...

    IrisAerial's FNF frame - first impressions...

    Here's a quick picture from my iPhone. Don't judge me based off the wiring. I threw it together quick so that I could get in the air and start having fun with it. I'll probably clean the wiring up later on.

    IrisAerial's FNF frame - first impressions...

    I've been fortunate enough to beta test IrisAerial's FNF frame. This thing is FUN!!! I set mine up as a lightweight rig that I could run off my abundant set of 3S batteries. I've got a HoverFly Sport on it and it is so much fun. Did I mention it was fun? Other than the obvious fun factor...

    Hoverfly HoverFly Sport - artificial horizon not working properly

    I went with MT2206-23 motors, 8x4.5 props, and turnigy plush 25a ESCs. I wanted something really lightweight. I'll probably put lighter ESCs on there at some point. For a heavier FPV setup, this wouldn't be the right combo, but it works pretty well for a lightweight setup that runs off of the...

    Hoverfly HoverFly Sport - artificial horizon not working properly

    Figured it out. Yellow and orange look very similar on POS Acer I use for programming these suckers. I should've printed the manual instead of looking at it on this silly computer.

    Hoverfly HoverFly Sport - artificial horizon not working properly

    I cranked the gain down, still flips on takeoff. I'm going to double check everything.

    Hoverfly HoverFly Sport - artificial horizon not working properly

    Yuri, Cobra shot shouldn't be a problem. What gain setting did you use? Do you remember?
