I will definitely post some pics when I get back to the states and back in the swing of things.

For those who may be following this thread and not seen my post on my build log, the MK X8 flew beautifully yesterday after getting it ready for flight. I used default settings and it flew the best it has ever flown. Absolutely incredible! Three flights fully weighted with two batteries and...

Allright everyone, its been quit some time but I have finally succeeded! :D Many of you know of my ongoing troubles with getting the X8 to fly how I want and now it does! I am now using full MK hardware for electronics with default settings and just had the three best flights with no...

After a very difficult afternoon I finally have succeeded!!:D Everything is working as it should and all motors spin! After wiring up all the motors I applied power and all motors would spin except #2 (BL that diode was replaced on). It would sing its little song on powerup and showed no errors...

@Emowillcox - that was some tough luck man! It is great to get the support. I received the D2 diode (actually a toasted BL that was warped and a bit burnt) and took it to the TV guy. He lifted one off the toasted BL and soldered it to the BL where mine was missing while I waited. Of course he...

Hey Bart, Thanks so much! Let me see how things go between Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. I plan to have it flying Friday afternoon if all goes well. I finished up rewiring everything and got all back together. Just gotta drop the boards in and solder the motor leads to BL's. Sorry...

Thanks Crash! I also found the first one you suggested used by someone over on rcg with no problems. I went ahead and ordered a couple of each and the smallest tip available for my Weller soldering iron to take with me. I also ordered another BL as a backup and Adam at Quadrocopter.us is sending...

@#&$! Well, the TV repair guy lost the piece! We have both been looking around his bench and can't find it. Does anyone know a part number for this thing? It had a W2 on the top. :mad:

I think all I can do at this point is hope it works when I pick it up tomorrow and then try to fly the heck out of it before I leave to make sure it is holding together. If all else fails I have a Y6 ready that I just need to move my HFP board to and start flying. I would also need to move...

I was told this piece is a resistor by the seller. They said it was a 5 minute fix but I would need to send it back. I leave in 10 days for a shoot out of the country so I decided to stop by the local TV repair place and the guy told me no problem and seemed confident it was an easy fix. Said it...

Nope. It was open to all forms of aerial photography. If you look through the pics you can tell they are from all sorts of manned and unmanned craft.

Good suggestion and can't hurt. Will call them in AM. Thanks Bart. Shawn

40W Weller = cheap! At this point I don't mind paying someone else to do it, just as long as it is a quick fix!

The time gun pointed at me is what makes it so frustrating. It did not break, just lifted off at the two solder pads and the two little tabs are still sticking out from it. I don't trust myself soldering something this small. Do you think if I took it to a TV repair place they could do something...

I was mounting my new Okto XL distribution board when I guess my finger knocked the piece circled in the pic below off. Can't believe it came off that easy. Anyhow, can it just be soldered back on? does the direction matter? Bummed:( Shawn

Hey Boris, The trick with the distro ring with deans is to make the circle as small as possible and just use one piece of solid wire around. I think since yours looks to be fairly big in diameter and has the braided wire you have added a lot of weight. I agree the aren't necessary for...

Here is what the post says: Measure the resistance to ground from the C and D lines respectively. They should be about the same, and much larger than zero. THe resistance between C and D should be even larger yet. Measure the resistance to the +12V line from C and D also (without power of...

The liquid tape is what I use. Works very well since you can get it in all the nooks and crannies. I have been using this style ring for some time now and they work excellent.

I received my new assembled okto xl distro board with 2.0 BL's yesterday and just did some inspection, continuity, and resistance checks. I first blew off the board with compressed air and then took a look under a dissecting microscope and did not see any stray bits of solder. I then began with...

Back in April I contacted Xoar directly about CW & CCW precision pair props of their PJN series (wood). At that time I got a quote for 2 sets (1 set = 1cw/1ccw) of 13x5 and 2 sets of 13x6.5. For 8 pieces with shipping the total was US$206 ($36/set and $62 for shipping to Texas). Here are the...
