    I have the MK FC mounted like the last diagram (arrow on board [front] is straight up) and the rotation of my motors follows the last diagram as well. Basically the board orientation is the same but the motor direction is exactly opposite the first MK diagram below. Is it the +/- values which...

    Well most of my electronics have shown up, still waiting on the MKUSB. I have mounted the FC on my copter and it appears I am almost ready to start soldering and connecting wires. So I have found what I believe to be two different layouts for an X8 and need some advice on direction of...

    Good to know, thanks. I will update my previous post so others don't buy something they don't need! Anyone out there have experience with this setup on a Futaba 10 channel radio? Shawn

    MK electronics are on their way. Also ordered the I2C encoder(s). Now I just need to decided what to do about the TX/RX situation. Shawn

    Mikrokopter Suggestions for Futaba tx/rx solution with MK?

    I think you missed copying part of the link, try this for the Jeti Duplex TU2 at mikrokopter or the product page at Jeti's site. It's weird that the Mikrokopter site says its compatible with the Futaba T10C (what I have) but the Jeti site does not. The Jeti site shows the Duplex TF being...

    Shipping Containers???

    I traveled to Ecuador with my hexa last summer. It was my first time traveling with a copter but I have been hauling research equipment to and from South America since 1997. I am usually traveling with 300-400 lbs. of research equipment and it is just me and my wife moving all this stuff. I have...

    Mikrokopter Suggestions for Futaba tx/rx solution with MK?

    Hey Guys, I really appreciate all the comments and suggestions so far. Not being that familiar with all the MK features yet I am having a hard time figuring out what all I will want to assign to channels. I forgot to mention that I am still really new to RC too, so not familiar with a lot of...

    Mikrokopter Suggestions for Futaba tx/rx solution with MK?

    As posted in another thread, I am about to convert my X8 copter to the full suite of MK electronics. I have pretty much finalized my shopping list, but am still trying to decide what path to take so I can use my Futaba T10CAP 2.4ghz (modded for smooth throttle). The rx I have is the R6014HS. I...

    X8 coversion to MK - shopping list suggestions

    Hey Ken, You should definitely contact Oleg for a couple extras then. I ordered my entire set from them and the transaction went perfect. Also, because they don't have to charge us the VAT you get the prop adapter and motor mount stuff and don't have to pay extra for it as it shows on their...

    X8 coversion to MK - shopping list suggestions

    I don't know that is necessarily the case. MontoRC used to carry all the Pulso motors and as they run out of stock they are removing the pages for those motors. Also, someone I know who is start up a multirotor business has become a dealer for them and they will only offer him the Cobra's. It...

    X8 coversion to MK - shopping list suggestions

    Great to know! when I looked on their site about a week ago both were out of stock and since they supposedly are making no more I just figured I would never see them again. Maybe he managed to get a hold of the last of what they had. Who knows. I wonder if this is just a USA thing? Could there...

    Too funny! That's exactly who I got mine from and they were the last ones available on the planet via the internet. He is also out of the 2814/20's too. Thanks for the suggestion though. Shawn

    X8 coversion to MK - shopping list suggestions

    Are you a distributor? I was told they will no longer be selling these (at least in the US, I guess) and are now going to be going under the name Cobra. I was also told by one of their US distributors that they will not be offerring the 2814/22 in the Cobra either. I don't actually need any...

    Howdy - Multirotors for tropical forest research and conservation

    Fire away when you have a chance. I have made a few changes to it recently but still looks the same. I purchased one of these: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?InvtId=BLK-VRD-MC6-FB-R It's awesome! WAY better than the EasyCAP. Shawn
