Al over at Hoverfly has also put together an excellent set of quadcopter tutorials: http://www.hoverflytech.com/video-tutorials.html. They are based around building a quad with an HFP board but demonstrate the basic build for almost any FC. They are perfect for the noob to take them from start...

Quadpowered (now Hoverfly) was the first FC I ever flew with and it was really smooth and easy to learn to fly. Yes, there were lots of growing pains with firmware updates that introduced bugs but they always got taken care of. When Hoverfly Pro FC came out there were issues again but they got...

1w vtx!:shame: Sorry, I edited the post. Just put it on the scale and it is 1544g with 12x3.8 props on it and no GoPro. That's with the Avroto's and the new dome (no pics, still waiting for paint to dry). It's lighter than I thought. With a Turnigy nano-tech 4s 6000mah I get around 17 minutes...

I'll get the thread started! This is my current FPV copter. It has changed a bit in the last few days and will update when I get it finished. Frame: Rusty's Rev-8 with floating camera plate Motors: DYS 3536-11 -> NOW Avroto 2814-11 ESC's: RCTimer 30A Props: APC 11x4.7 or 12x3.8 depends on wind...

A blog post I did a while ago might help: http://www.multirotorforums.com/entry.php?6-International-traveling-with-X8-how-I-pack Have travelled with my copters several times on international flights with little to no problems. I have gotten a lot of questions about the electronics stack at...

I was going to say the same thing. "They" need to rent a real heli to be safe. Heck, it would probably be cheaper.

Actually, I've sold most of them as I come up with new ideas of what my ideal copter would be. I now have a really nice FPV quad, my original X8, and another X8 I am working on (slowly) as a backup. I would have stuck with hexa but the lack of redundancy just sucks. I did notice you say you are...

I have had a quad, tri, hexa, Y6, and X8. In my experience - my hexa was pretty light but was super smooth, I never flew anything bigger than a Canon SX200 on it. I then went to X8 and once I went with full MK electronics it flies incredible. It is twice as heavy as the hexa and flies just as...

Landing legs with Rusty frame I just wanted to show you all that the legs will also work great with Rusty's frames and his boom clamps. I have the floating camera mount from Rusty that can hold a 4s 6000mah battery with my FPV camera hanging underneath on a tilt mount and the GoPro attaches via...

Love dart frogs! Used to keep D. leucomelas myself. I regularly find ventrimaculatus with tadpoles in bromeliads at 150+ feet up in the canopy where I currently do research. Shawn

No swarms, but I do envision future development of a robotic arm coming from copter for taking samples from the tops of 150+ foot trees!

Hey Andy, Been using the DW single battery strap with two 4s 6000mah batteries for quit some time with no problem. Just get it cinched down tight. Shawn

+1 to infinity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been working with multi's for almost two years now trying to get to the point where I feel comfortable with a final setup and flying. You can see some of my interests in my first post here...

Well, 142 was it and p. 259 "Timer confirmation with control or switch" is too! Didn't realize they were called phase timers. Thanks! Shawn

I have tried several ways to program my Graupner MX-20 to start the timers when the throttle is beyond about the 15-20% position. I normally have one timer count up from 0 and the other count down from about 10-12 minutes so I know when its getting close to time to bring her home. I had no...

Thanks! Gonna paypal Yuri now!

Hi Yuri, What is their total length? I need something like these on my Rusty's frame and I'll just use one of his clamp sets. Thanks, Shawn

Bummer...I had a great photo. Time to rethink. Shawn

Yep, although I wouldn't say the flat hexa reacts to "every bump on the road". It still has great suspension :-)
