    What do you want from your Flight Control company??

    Bart I was thinking more along the lines of No Tx. at all. You just have a laptop with a side stick for manual control. the stick controls the three main functions with one hand operation, plus a slider for the throttle. (Manual mode) the GPS data screen provides the real time waypoint info...

    3d print quad by Ultimaker

    If you have a 3D machine then you can make a mold from modeling board and then make the stuff in prepreg carbon. Otherwise it's the old fashioned pattern making route. Fun if you like doing it. Jes how is the new board coming along. I have been using a cc board with great results just lately...

    DJI Zenmuse gimbal and S800 Spreading Wings preorder

    Boris I think the low voltage has corrupted the bootloader. You need to talk to the factory. They may not want to give you this file!!!

    What do you want from your Flight Control company??

    Flight control as we know it is all going to change. It will become highly configerable Data transfer. Like OSRC/ Ruling. Your receiver will do everything.

    What do you want from your Flight Control company??

    I think the idea behind pre order discount should be to get people to start using it and see what it can do. Not to fund the development. What is slightly worrying about s800 is that at NAB it was still in prototype form. The next day they are selling it. An important part of the camera mount is...

    Hoverfly Mikrokopter vs. HoverflyPro

    I think the biggest disadvantage with MK is that it is all open plan. Dirt, dust and moisture become a part of anything that takes off from the ground. It is almost planned failure. The way that MK lash those cheap nasty motors to the square alum. tube just about sums up their lack of mechanical...

    Yeah mine is already sold to a customer in Russia who has bought a full package including flight training, but I may get one if it turns out better than my own design. I love the F1 with a GoPro-2 for just having fun but It can also do serious work. And if legislation comes in the form of under...

    DJI Zenmuse gimbal and S800 Spreading Wings preorder

    Says more about the gimbal than the S800 which was fighting hard against the wind. Both looking good.

    I think wind performance is a big factor if you are using it as a commercial enterprise, often you have to fly when the conditions are not perfect.

    DJI Zenmuse gimbal and S800 Spreading Wings preorder

    Competition is good for business so lets hope they don't get carried away with too much superiority syndrome. I have yet to test this thing against a Logo extreme 800 with 830 asymetric blades which I believe will have better high wind performance and endurance, plus Ace One. Heli's were their...

    I suppose they want to cash in before RCTimer copy it for 200 bucks. I just bought a knock-off F550 for 49 euros.

    Flexacopter ---The Making Of---

    Looks pink to me. Here's an alternative in design materials, despite it's larger size the one on the right is 40 grams lighter. It has no steel nuts and bolts, flys for 25 mins on a 5000 Ma. battery. Vibration free it has the best stability yet seen anywhere. It can fly in tight areas without...
