    Can someone help me with a question about E-Calc

    I would approach it differently. Check on the weight of the components you are planing on using and calculate the overall weight of the bird. So enter the grams inkl. drive ! If you go with not inkl drive than Ecalc adds the compoents like lipo motors ecs to the overall weight etc. Can you...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx New Build Planned - SkyJib-X4 Heavy Retractable

    You dont need a bec to power the RX. Either the MC from the WKM or the GCU of the Zenmuse both can power the RX, thus in case of a two RX setup both are powered ! VTX also gets powered either from the IOSD or the GCU of the zenmuse ! The amount of flight time you will safe will be minimal if...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx New Build Planned - SkyJib-X4 Heavy Retractable

    Ches the zenmuse is actually designed to work with the flight lipo up to 6a. This is will power your RX and vtx. I Personally don't see any benefit of using a secondary lipo in this case ! Boris

    Aeronavics / Droidworx New Build Planned - SkyJib-X4 Heavy Retractable

    Beja should work with free mixers ! Use your SH switch to trigger the mix and the mix should effect your channel 8 ! I am actually not using the coming home feature but triggering a fake coming home by setting the copter into failsafe ! Keeps one extra X channel on the WKM free for something...

    3D printed brushless Gimbals - Info exchange

    Jhardway i had a 7d on it with a medium lense and it worked ! Its adjustable on all axis and the cam can be balanced out on tilt roll and pan. The zenmuse set the standard on balancing out the cam which other gimbals in my eyes are lacking and i took care to consider all the adjustments...

    3D printed brushless Gimbals - Info exchange

    getting there: little slow still on the roll axis and little drift from time to time. But that can be fixed ! Off to mounting it on the copter after testing tomorrow with a 7D, but already had it on it should work with no probs.

    Small X8 build - 3d Printing Parts

    by the way mounting the ESCs next to the motors it not my thing. Several did it before especially bartman ! I personally wouldnt do it in combo with all FCS. But since I will be using a AQ FC it makes sense ! Boris

    Small X8 build - 3d Printing Parts

    @ mbsteed. Once everything is finished and working i will post it all frame gimbals etc. ! PLA ABS is great but most parts eventually i get done with shape ways the material is just a better and the prints more percise ! @ jdennings. I am not happy with my first design of the removable...
