The Avroto shaft is 6mm. So you will want to get the 8mm-6mm reducer with your graupner props.

Right now, 11x5 are working well with my current weight. The Avroto's come with a 6mm prop adapter.

Hi Azure, Welcome to the forum. When using the conversion kit, you use the stock 30amp esc's that come with the f550. They are plenty for the avroto motors. I have been flying with the AXI motors and 11" props on mine. With approx 4000grams my copter flys nice an smooth (see video above). I am...

Do those Plety's have prop adapters on them? If so, are they tight? I have not used them before, but have seen set screws on other types of adapters come loose. When that happend, the adapter will spin on the motor shaft making a metal to metal screeching noise. Thats probably not it, but...

I do not want to see a PRE ORDER DISCOUNT for a product that is not fully developed and in production. It looks like allot of people are jumping on the DJI Pre Order band wagon. I dont think its right to take peoples money up front for something your still trying to design or produce. I believe...

I am not Using DJI on this Octocopter. I am Using MikroKopter FC. Hercules work awesome with this set up. See demo reel with footage shot with this copter here (http://aerialmediapros.com/videos.html)

Geoff, and Jem I did not notice you were not in the USA. Like I said above, the service/warranty is top notch. If you need help with them simply send them to Droidworx for replacement.

RTRyder, Great review. I am building another Skyjib 8 right now. I am using the Aerodrive 8 Board. Do you know if H/F will work with that? I am a full on MK guy, but also have DJI products on my cheaper copters. For Aerial Film work, I have stuck with MK. Well recently, I was chatting with...

Thanks, That is the Droidworx Extended landing gear, Photohigher AV130 Gimbal, and your standard LED Strip lighting. I use RED/GREEN for port starboard, and BLUE in the back.

Hi Jem, Glad the build thread was helpful. As for Those brackets, they caused me to worry also. I had found stress cracks in mine, and thats why I made them. Quadrocopter.us was pretty concerned too after haveing some fail. They now stock, and use my brackets on all their RTF builds . For...

UPDATED ORIGINAL POST, and uploaded quick Demo Video.

Yes that was with the Conversion. No Landing gear or gimbal. The 6000 mAh is the Nano tech 6000 4s. I also tested the 8000mAh Zippy 4S and got 16.47min (battery voltage at end 14.9v) UPDATE: Stock F550 with 8" Props I just did 3 flights using a 4S 6000mAh lipo. I was tuning and testing a...

I run a 4S 6000 mAh lipo. The F550 handles it easyily. I also run that same Lipo on my F550 conversion. With the larger AXI 2814 motors, and 12" Props, I am getting 15.36 min flight time (Battery voltage at end 14.9v).

Thats pretty funny to see the F450 with a broken prop in the pic.

Yes, They are built for Airline travel. They come in under the 115" max girth Diminsions. I have personally used the cases to travel with multiple times. More info on he cases can be found here. http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?2434-CUSTOM-TRAVEL-CASES-for-your-MULTI-ROTORS-AVAILABLE

I have used 3 of those. 2 worked and bound fine. The other no matter what I do, would only show like 6 channels. I asked quadrocopter (who I got the D Board from). All they could say is "Yea, sometimes it doesnt play well with others, sometimes it does". LOL so on that board, I was out the $50...

Eyeball, I have made a conversion kit for the F550. That way you can run 12" Props. See the thread here. http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?3368-DJI-F550-Heavy-Lift-Conversion-Larger-Props-and-Motors-gt-Now-Available-lt

That was with the Naza

Droider, I appreciate you wanting to see some of my other builds. That is something I pride myself on. Others have said my build quality is top notch. I feel it absolutely must be, or else it shouldn't be built at all. Here is a link to one of my AD8 Builds...

Dave, There are quite a few threads of people wanting to run Larger motors and Props on their F550 frames. There are already a few that are drilling the arms to run Avroto's (I dont think they got DJI approval either). I personally wanted to carry a decent size camera, while using a cheaper...
