Bart You gonna charge your batteries on the car. How else can you fly the snowman show?

Dave, I thought you would have put some decent motors on it!!! Looks like they go together pretty quick. Are they selling a camera mount for it yet? Are you sure those ESC's are supposed to go there?

Nice, I really like my AC boards as they suit my heavy lift machines due to the wide PID parameters. I can't wait to see what Jason comes up with in 2.0.50 It is a much cheaper alternative that DJI but not for beginners who are not into electronics.

It seems to work like this. A small 450 size frame lifting say a 550D plus mount and telemetry plus a couple of batteries could weigh for example 4 Kilos. A large frame lifting the same is going to be a bit more say 4.2. The larger frame was created to swing a larger prop. So along comes a gust...

I don't think it is sold in Istanbul but I can send you one from my distributor in N.Cyp. It is one of my best sellers as I was the only one allowed to overfly the North since 1974 invasion. As the title says 'No politics just the pictures you asked to see'. I have filmed in a lot of different...

Ozkan You have a nice FPV shop in Istanbul, I must try and get over there sometime. North Cyprus is my favorite place to shoot. So you are not too far away. This is one of my books that it printed in Istanbul. Had some fun making this one. I used my fixed wing drone and multirotor Also used a...

Good try, looks like you ran out of battery in the end.

Ken When is it going to lift something into five buckets. You can do it.

It was a little late, or was too early in the morning, so I missed the bit about the big bill. Ha Ha.

I found a similar problem with big props and big distance between motors with the DJI. I now have smaller, 11x5 carbon props. and 700mm between motors also tiger motors and ESC. It is interesting that DJI chose 450 mm between motors for their own version. I have seen better stability in high...

Yeah I think a lot of good stuff is on the way. I think Jason Short has also taken the bull by the horns with AC which is starting to look very good. I am working on hollow shaft direct drive PCB motors for small camera mounts with sensors built in to the board. Currently building an autoclave...

I think wookong does some kind of calibration at lift off to find hover at the mid position of throttle travel. At least that is what mine seems to do. After a few mins. it settles down.

That sucks man I have been put off buying an Xaircraft now.

Bart sometimes high bearing wear can be attributed to having the shaft tolerance too tight in the bearing so that thermal expansion loads the bearing as well as the thrust loads. If they get hot then out comes the lube. The shaft should be a nice slide fit and not need any force to assemble it...

With the wookong you can set the disturbance volume and the center point. which is useful for the roll function. I used a spirit level to set up both axis so that it maintained a level base plate. It's only drawback is that it is a little slow during the initial movement. That can be overcome to...

Jes Well actually quite a lot changed. As a general rule I try to avoid any form of unpleasantness and simply keep away from it. I did report the fault and the only thing I heard from Dankers was a personal character assassination because I accepted a free board from someone who I have only...

Interesting that they chose a 450 size frame.

The smoothness of the Tx input is often a function of what type of Tx you have, the servo outputs beyond the 4 main stick inputs are often not as high resolution and maybe analog only.

Ryan I have been toying with the idea of getting a V8 for a spare machine that travels. I keep reading all kinds of problems with the electronics, is that generally what is wrong or does it work ok in the right hands would you say? The Tiger motors would be my first choice for any replacement...

Gunter I tried tweaking the settings for a while on my big machine which is not suited to the standard settings, I was not really getting very far and then I tried smaller props which was a big improvement.
