    Lights for you copter

    I just made a test flight, I noticed a little less flight time from the extra drain and couldn't see the LED's after it was @ 60yds away but this was in bright sun and I was wearing my sunglasses. I think it will be better in lower light and definitely night.

    Props--- what brands work?

    Hi Jeff and Welcome, I'll never run DJI props again. There are some lower cost props that run fine like the Genfan or GF and APC's. I'm sure there are more.

    Props--- what brands work?

    I got a surprise this afternoon, I was emailing Patrick at Aerial Media Pros talking about his conversion for the 550 and where he was out of Country for a couple weeks. I told him about how I never expected a problem like this to get "kicked to the curb". I managed to piece together a 550 from...

    Props--- what brands work?

    I think most of the breakage was 8", I was flying 10" and thought they were great props until I lost 2 MR's in two days. I felt safe with them since they were supplied with the kit. I had read the 8" problem and thought the 10's were fine. As for the non-flats, everyone I've read about like...

    Who makes ESC's like DJI that don't require programming?

    I was looking at esc's and wonder who make them that you don't have to program like the DJI's I have now. Just plug in and go... no soft start,no brake, etc. Thanks

    Props--- what brands work?

    I heard that also but my 450 was about 2 weeks old, could have been old stock but I think the props need reinforced. The root flex's a lot and after mine broke I don't want to trust them. I'm flying Graupner's E props and like them, but I used the APC's and I liked them. I think the Gemfans...

    My brother just emailed, he built a HK Quad with KK controler and HK ESC's. He has a bad ESC and was asking if he could run a different brand and size? I never tried :dejection:

    Pretty good idea, I remember these in (I think) the 70's for full scale small aircraft.

    battery size?

    skypup, don't trust the stock 10" props, I had my 550 lose a prop last Friday and my 450 the next day 10" also. The 550 was a replacement for a 550 I lost a few weeks earlier that I was looping and it went in almost straight down and at first I thought it was from low battery and couldn't...
