    Yes Jeff the production batch has carbon Nano tube reinforcement plus a few other mods. I ran all day for two days and the Motors and ESC's hardly get warm. The APC's are the way to go for sure, I was getting 20 mins plus from the 11 Amp Maxamps. I do have a rule about the modes we fly. I...

    I guess you are talking about the thread into the motor. With my prop. adapters you could try mounting with just two opposing screws. Normally the hex. drive of the DJI screws is very poor and this strips before the thread. A heat gun and some multi grips could pull the sucker out. Failing that...

    Dont let your ex-wife fly!

    Juri The real danger in flying light aircraft is after 50 hours, when you go off and don't know what you are doing, the next bad time is at 500 hrs when you think you know what you are doing but actually you don't, the next critical time is at 5000 hrs when you do know what you are doing but...

    "Roll of Death" other then when its a s-800

    Long before DJI came up with the cause and solution I posted that switching rapidly from Atti to GPS could induce the FOD in test conditions even with the old style GPS unit. Since that time I take off in Atti and do not switch to any other mode. everything disabled in the Assistant. So far no...

    Actually the camera mount is at the front. this is a very compact machine that stands only a couple of inches or so above the standard TDR. As Walkera have now stepped up from TOYS to a decent 500 size heli that flies real nice. I don't think it would take too much effort to put a GoPro3 on the...

    Rob It's a Henseleit 3DRigid hot rod for mad 3D guys to smash up doing crazy stuff or go for speed records in excess of 260 kph. However it has a really nice rotor head and Drive system. I throw most of the rest away to get the parts that I want. I am not ready to release the design yet but It...

    A few years back when MK boards had gyro failures every few mins. We developed a triple gyro redundancy board using the brain IMU from a Segway. Not needed these days. I suppose what I mean by 100% reliable is 100 x more reliable than any MR. Gravity is reliable stuff, it is what powers...

    The reason that I developed a SR for most of my commercial work is due to the following reasons : The drive train is bullet proof, Tested thousands of times to a far greater level of stress than I will ever use. If it did fail, I have auto rotation which I practiced a lot. I have no need...

    It has to be said that DJI are the minority in entertaining any form of warranty. I do think however that we are pushing our luck to modify any part of the model (Not just the Props) and expect any form of replacement parts etc. Modelers being modelers will always try to improve and change what...

    Inspiring kite aerial video.

    A better idea might be to use this as a bailout when your MR fails in the air. Just trail the kite!!!

    Rob No declination setting. They suggest that you turn the unit. No link to the look-up tables. Also very slow to acquire. How reliable is AMP for helis BTW. Looks like MR version is now working good.

    GoPro Hero 3

    GoPro-2 works well on the Zen with no jellow. It needs some parts to get a proper balance.

    DJI WKM GPS failure

    I know that Jeff has done a good job with his preparation and this is a very worrying development. Even so it takes some force to break the arm at that point. Are you completely sure that it was the motor that came off in the air. It looks like something hit one of the props first. Maybe some...
