Thanks guys, and much appreciated for the suggestions. It's been a hectic week, so I probably won't be able to try until this or next weekend. I'll let you know how it goes. It would be great if it was just an endpoint issue!

14-pole vs 24-pole - interesting.

Good man - that's the way to do it!

Taranis radio, x8r Rx. I'm using the Taranis on both - settings are identical.

I just found out the hard and expensive way today that the KDE 4012-400's / 35Amp ESC's aren't compatible with Hoverfly Pro board. See here for details - http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?21944-Hoverfly-and-KDE-motor-esc-compatibility-(or-incompatibility!)&p=182306#post182306 If...

Vulcan Black Widow X8 frame with retracts - just under 5kg without batteries. Looks like it'd be a bit heavier than you with comparable batteries.

Hi all. Had an interesting development today. I took my Hoverfly board (that didn't work on this Black Widow) and plugged it into my old F550 with an E300 drivetrain for a laugh. It armed the ESC's! I've posted here in the Hoverfly forum -...

Some of you may have seen my build thread here - http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?21386-Vulcan-black-widow-X8-build - where I has having trouble with the Hoverfly Pro. The first one I had seemed to have an unusual hardware issue - Hoverfly sent me a replacement. I could connect to...

1700g without landing gear, 2350g with gear and Nex. 10 minute flight time with the payload, 17 without.

Too right :) I just put the retracts up, and put it on a wide aluminium tray I had, and put that on the scales. Its taken me a few days to find the tray so I could actually do this!

Weight Ok. Just got it on the scales properly tonight. It's just shy of 5kg, without batteries. Bit of a fat puppy! It's pretty close to my original estimate, but I thought I was on the conservative side. This does include for a few extras though, including retracts, Vx gear, Mobius cam...

Just measured it tonight for you: Looks like you could JUST get a 16" on there. It's close, and I'd be careful with any prop that has a degree of flex in it (it could flex up and hit the arm as it rakes over). But you really need to know what distance the prop mount is from the base of the...

Hey, Rhodes is probably a pretty good place to fly - with the Olympic park next door. You should have a few good wide open spaces out there?

Hi NeRvD, Welcome aboard! There's a few of us here from Sydney, but it's always great to have some more Aussies around for moral support ;) The forum here is a pretty good resource for getting started - plenty of excellent help and reading to get you going. My 2c worth - get a tiny...

Thanks all - think I've got one sourced now. Kind Regards, Min.

I have an F550, e300, 9" props and run it 4S. Works perfectly. 17min flight times with 5000mah battery.

Ha ha! This is brilliant. I'm adding all of these to my operations manual.

Ok, so we've all done stupid things - I'm sure it's not just me. Let's make this a list of all the things they don't tell you in the manuals - and probably really shouldn't have to. I'll kick it off: 1. Don't hold open bottles of thread lock over your motors. (I missed, but it was too...

I'm running the same all round. Internent wisdom suggests running more aggressive pitch on the bottom as they're spinning the wash from the top prop. My (small) understanding of coaxial design says the physics are way more complex than that, but hey - if it works it works.

Ah yeah, $36 for some machined aluminium! Having said that, they are really really beautifully designed and made pieces, and come with an array of washers and bolts. One other thing worth mentioning is it does yaw slightly clockwise after manoeuvring - just slight twist which puts it out of...
