@bart - nope , www.photohigher.co.nz are their NZ dealer however, it would make sense for the only multicoptor specialist in New Zealand (me) to actually be their rep ........ :D for got to say, well done droidworx for stepping up and donating a quad - i feel a news article coming on !

i should win because shipping would be cheaper :)

When I did a giveaway for a ritewing , we made the punters shoot a youtube video of why they should be selected. funny stuff.

easy to load quick to use setup/tuning software

auto stable is a must, esp to help beginners/photography alt hold/barro/sonar option velly helpingfull ability to set overall roll/pitch gain via a channel on the TX, thats the biggest issue i have is varying loads, from no load and 3S, to fully loaded, to swaping to a 4S pack, then throw in a...

@droider - thanks for that, but for you guys, best bet is to go to www.kkmulticopter.kr directly instead of shiping all the way from me . the kits from there are very re-configurable, Minsoo has done a great job. For something a little bit nicer, and not much more expensive, hit up Jakub at...

@ whoisthedaddy - parachute - set a failsafe servo position on your reciever (most decent systems can) for the 'chute servo, taht way, loose TX, the chute deploys, also have it so it cuts throttle

well done, so do you like the x8 config ? is it stable, yet manuverable at the same time ? Man im a glutton for punishment, have two X8 builds on the go, one with KKuk and one with Ardupilot !

Doh ! thats my weeks holiday gone, just got a second order for an X8 :)

@ droider - that one sure handles the wind nice, i guess i have to add Y6 to the build for a tru comparison

haha, more like thursday, waiting on 16 motors to turn up :) brought 100 props last week !

@ jess111 - sorry , mis understanding my friend - the x8 with motor pairs rotating in the SAME direction has redundancy, in that if one fails, you double the speed of the good one to get the same thrust and tourque, so the system remains stable. In a x8 with counter rotating motors, and the Y6...

@ RTRyder - good stuff, happy to see the X8 flies ! @ jes1111 - love the Y6 design, they seem to handle the wind well (another consideration) but not sure on redundancy, if you lost one motor you would be in for a world of hurt. @whoisthedaddy - i have that on a tee-shirt "whos your daddy!"...

from my relatively recent experiance with multirotors, i have this little bit of input. I think a X8 is the best solution My reasoning is that, each corner has a motor pair, one top, one bottom, and you can handle one failing as long as you have made sure that 4 motors can carry your total...

just noticed, droider and bartman are twins - both at 541 posts each

add me as a moderator if you want, help share the load.

yep, there is something funky in the programming, super stable inside, but outside influences knock it around. I think the instability is due to its blade/motor setup, absolutly optimised to "tread air" at minimum weight, its about 30% more efficient than my quad (used 2200mah in 16 minutes...

Hi Kilby, nope haven't flowen a Xaircraft 650. Flying out side in a slight breeze, the T580 is not so comfortable, more testing to come

happy to hear i am not the only one with hover issues...but even side on gets me at the moment RC flying wing at 120 mph towards me, no issue, wings fly in one direction, and pull back on stick is still safe. but these quads..... i noticed my control throws get bigger when i am side on or...

excellent, just about to build a couple of X8's so very interesting read. Are they flycam 925's ? if so, they will handle 4S on 10 by 4.5's , i like the fact you are using 11's so will give that a go on 3S Have been debating redundancy on a x8 platform here with a good friend of mine here in...
