Kloner my first attempt barely flew. 2nd attempt rock star status. I have yet to dive into the FPV like you have. My wing flying is all LOS with hero2 getting some footage. That said, even without the FPV stuff - it was a bit tricky to dial everything in. I bet your 2nd attempt will be a beast.

Im excited to check this out. I have always used Canon and have lots of faith in them. Not to mention a plethera of lenses and cameras. I was super close to Nex-5 though. Seems guys are getting great results. Maybe now I dont need to jump ship from Canon to Sony.....some pretty interesting...

awesome.

piece of tape on motor shaft helps see which way its spinning.

Other way around. Arm #1 ccw. Here is a pic for you. Before putting the props on, I would fire it up and make sure the motors are spinning the right direction. If they are not, just switch two wires between ESC and motors. Doesnt matter which two. Then put the props on and go have fun.

leading edge is the high one.

+1 to Kloners advice. Also, if all bullet connections are good, swap a motor real quick and see if it does the same thing on a different arm. Been there done that, you will get it figured out.

wow - found your video at the safe flight site very interesting. tree bump test was great. i have a habit of finding my roof. best of luck to you guys. having recently a very close call - very much excited in following your progress.

make sure all your bullet connectors are completely inserted. welcome to the forum. lots of good info here.

looks great, what camera are you using?

kloner - let me know when you are done building mine and i will let you know where to send it :) super nice build, cant wait for the flight review.

also a very interesting read for those that seems to be interested in this technology...(i think i remember seeing this video on this forum too) http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/24/camera-equipped-hexacopter-turns-summer-vacation-videos-into-aer/

must improve my photo skills! again - holy crap those are nice pics.

30 min hover. i think my nerves would be shot. i seem to only be good for about 8 minutes before i need a break :)

you dont say...the infamous flat spin? i currently have a PA Addiction X sitting on my desk needing some attention due to flat spin. practice for weeks on simulator and first crack at it - no joy! cant imagine trying that one in a MB339. Balls o steel! airshow = good fun, good family fun. need...

i have a 10" haier mounted to a tri-pod. havent used it a bunch but it seems todo the job. running it and a receiver on 3 cell 11.1v

Looks great, cant wait for the updates. Subscribed!

+1. very much agree.

i thought the video was nicely done and a great idea. I am tempted to send them a small donation. Thanks for sharing.
