As I mentioned earlier, they are putting together a beta-tester group that should hopefully eliminate/alleviate the firmware bug fixes that are often (but not always) required.

Do you mind sharing the mixer file? Would be nice to have! I really thought you couldn't do it but great to know you can! Thanks, Shawn

250m horizontal distance is a lot farther than you think when flying a multirotor. Really interested to see the release of the HF waypoint navigation later this year! Shawn

Hey Ron, There is quit a bit of small & medium soldering to be done on any of the MK boards you buy as a kit. Ideally you have a really nice soldering station and one of those large working magnifying glasses on a stand. You mentioned in another thread that you really didn't want to do much...

This is pretty darn impressive! I am not well-versed in all the video lingo but it appears to do true 1080p 60fps. Correct? I am curious if Holger's camera control will also allow you to do stills. Gonna keep an eye on this one.

Hey Bart, This would be sweet! But I must say that with the MK FC and Graupner MX-20 the voice telemetry is awesome. I have mine setup so that she gives me some information every 5 secs (you can set the time of repeat) and with the flick of a switch I can change to the next data point. For...

This looks incredible except for the 4 waypoint within 100m limitation. For most of my work I need to fly at an altitude of 100m and easily over 100m horizontal distance. :upset: Hopefully this will change cause it looks great. Eager to hear your thoughts about it in the wind. Shawn

I have to agree with Bart's comments about buying the MK board kits and soldering yourself. You are much better off to buy pre-soldered and tested MK hardware from a reputable MK dealer. I had a Bl fail on my first okto xl distro board and was fortunately able to send it back to the US based...

Ken pretty much summed it up. For those trying to make this decision you absolutely must ask yourself these questions. I first started out in MR's over two years ago and it was with the QuadPowered boards that were the Hoverfly predecessor. They were very easy to setup and very stable but...

Were you flying vario-AH on? What firmware version? I was thinking about using my backup X8 as my FPV practice copter after the flyaway of my quad due to dead transmitter battery. When I see things like this it makes me realize I need a dedicated 'cheaper' fpv copter. Hopefully the boards are...

Sorry Ken!!! That really sucks. Would be interesting to know your thoughts/theories on the control loss. Shawn

I fly MK X8's and when I was getting into them I also looked for such a mixer setup. Seems I recall you can't do this because of how the mixer is structured, unless you re-address the Bl's on the octo distro board (ie. make #2 be #5, etc.). I decided not to deal with that confusion and in the...

I am using the CAMremote which I really like a lot for the intervalometer settings but am currently having trouble getting it to trigger via the MK SV2 outputs. I have ordered a pcb extension board to try and Linnar at CR has been super helpful trying to troubleshoot the problem. Hopefully we...

I am mostly using my GH2 for stills and use a separate mini-cam for lining up shots. I think I am going to get one of the HDMI/composite converters to get a more accurate view for the stills and to use for video. I am just curious if the hacks have any affect on shooting stills or are they just...

You can buy it with no connectors, just wire leads. The 100amp+ reading was not continuous as it was just when full throttle was hit during a descent recovery, normally hovers around 35amp. I know they are rated only to 75amp bursts but there are lots of different forum posts where folks are far...

I use the 150A Eagletree system on my X8 and have easily pulled over 100A during recovery from a fast descent fully loaded. The eagle tree is nice too because it logs the data according to your specifications and you can then view and replay the flight giving you an idea of what is going on...

I have been using my CAMremote as an intervalometer with my GH2 for a long time now. I am now ready to hook it up to the FC so i can have it trigger at waypoints and with a switch. Below is a diagram of how I have it wired up but it is not triggering. I am using the setting Manual: RC receiver...

Oh man Bart, sorry didn't ask you about going through the calibration procedures. They really do make a difference. Did forgoing the trimming of throttle to idle motors help? Shawn

Are you going to have the copter strapped down and throttle it up? You have to realize that they have all kinds of controls written into the code so that it does or doesn't do certain things unless it knows its flying or not. I can't recall all the in's and out's anymore but this may prevent...

Thanks Ken. Just ordered the first ones from quadrocopter.us and will order the Arctic silver now. Shawn
