Looks like you are abandoning MK? Let me know first if you decide to sell any of your MK FC's! :frog: Shawn

The mapping feature is very cool! I love maps!! Thanks Bart, Shawn

When I flew this with the Droidworx gear and AV130 gimbal it was perfect. I mostly used the MK HiSight gimbal (comes with it) for stills with a Canon SX200IS which were perfect and a GoPro that would sometimes have a bit of jello. I think that jello could be gotten rid of with some moongel under...

Hi Italo, The camera mount on it will only hold a point and shoot. At one point I attached my droidworx landing gear and AV130 camera gimbal with a Panasonic GH2 and it flew beautifully. Hovered right about center stick. This thing can easily handle a large dslr and would do even better with...

Snap Quad frame with extra arm/leg and center plates - $30 shipped CONUSA I bought this frame a while back thinking I wanted a small little quad to fly. I flew it a few times but I didn't have the right motor/prop combo and didn't feel like spending more money on it. It has very few flights...

SOLD!: Heavy Lift Y6 Ready-To-Fly w/HoverflyPro FC and Futaba T10 plus many extras SOLD! I am selling my Heavy Lift Y6 to help fund a new project. Originally this copter was a hexa that I converted to a Y6 for redundancy purposes. I rarely fly it because I mainly use my MK X8, the Y6 was a...

Hey Guys, Thought I would let you know about a great sale on the Aoyue 968A+ Soldering station that I just found and finally purchased one! Very excited to get this. Its on ebay for $143.10 with free shipping from Top-rated seller...

Sorry Bart! Told you I was getting ready for another build. Slowly I'm gonna pickup what I can. Thanks Boris! Shawn

Finally getting around to posting some more pics from my recent travels. See the blog posts with pics here: Pics from photoshoot at the Tiputini Biodiversity Station in Ecuadorian Amazon - part 1 - Pics from photoshoot at the Tiputini Biodiversity Station in Ecuadorian Amazon - part 2 - Pics...

I have an RC-Carbon frame with a Futaba R6014HS rx connected to a Serializer ppm converter. The converter is velcro'd to the rx and the rx is velcro'd to the inside top of my dome. I have been out about 1.5km with no problems. I now have RSSI feed from the rx to my ET OSD but have not calibrated...

All from the same manufacturer, interesting. So, design wise they are all the same except individual components may differ. Correct? I wonder what the quality of individual components between the three is. I thought I would save folks interested in these the trouble of going to each site to...

I am currently using Avroto's and have no complaints. I am just curious about the two new motor's on the block and how they compare. Personal experience opinions would be great. Also, can anyone explain why the QC-3328 is listed as a good bit smaller compared to the others but has about the same...

Wow! That's almost even more of a bonus than the folding arms. Helps if you read the details and not just look at the pics. This sounds like it might be a another revolutionary frame and camera mount. Looking forward to seeing it. Thanks, Shawn

I actually like the layout and look forward to seeing the real deal. I hope they will put it out as an X8 kit. I currently have an RC-Carbon X8 and while the arms do fold up it requires the wires on two arms to be very long so that set of arms can be folded back next to the others. I have to...

the link to blog post works now! I forgot to publish the blog entry. Sorry, Shawn

I am curious if anyone has tried one of these frames: http://www.maximus-racing.com/fr/maxicopters/vortex_x4-8.html

Hey All, Just made a blog post about my packing technique for rugged international travel. Go here: http://www.multirotorforums.com/entry.php?6-International-traveling-with-X8-how-I-pack Shot at Cochasqui, Ecuador

Fantastic!!! Bart, really good looking copter. When I was looking into coax redundancy I read that having props spinning in an alternate pattern provided better redundancy in a multi-motor failure scenario. But, no one could/would (take the time to) ever provide an explanation of the theory...

Thanks EMO. I have a feeling this is just the beginning of some cool scientific uses for MRC's! I keep telling everyone its a tool not a toy :highly_amused: The next site I am heading to has satellite internet in the middle of the jungle so I'll see if I can upload some stuff from there. Shawn

As mentioned in my blog I made several flights the other at an altitude above 3000 meters (>10,000 feet) with my MK X8. Upon reviewing the recordings from my little cam with Eagle Tree OSD I noticed that the altimeter reading would start to go crazy at about 300-400 feet and then cut-out and...
