I have a F450 with a GoPro Hero 2 hard mounted to the frame and it works great, but I'd like to add a gimbal to the mix to keep things level. I've got a couple questions: 1. Is the gimbal controller on the V2 with the latest firmware decent or should I be looking at a third party controller...

In researching ways to balance props I’ve come across discussions regarding balancing motors as well, and am wondering if it’s worth it. Dynamically balancing motors seems to involve the use of servo testers, lasers, mirrors, and all sorts of elaborate setups. I don’t mind doing all this, but...

Complete noob questions here. First, how tight should the prop be on the propeller shaft? I have some T-Motor MT-2216’s for which I bought some Graupner 9 x 5’s and some APC’s. The Graupners have a metal adapter which fit snugly into the prop, but are just ever so slightly loose on the shaft...

So I can't seem to find Graupner 9x5 props anywhere (at least not stateside). Who else makes a good propeller in this size? I don't mind doing minor balancing, but it seems like a quality prop shouldn't need much. APC is a brand I see a lot, but they sound flimsy. RCTimers sound like they're...

I'm planning on running these motors on my F450 and am wondering what prop size I should be using. Initially, I'll just have my GoPro Hero 2 on it, but eventually, I'll add some FPV gear. I have a few 2200 3S lipos I plan on using. Does the same rule as the stock motors apply? 10" on 3S and 8"...

Hello all, Virgin poster here. I am getting ready to jump into the multirotor world, and am leaning pretty strongly toward an F450. I've been flying single rotors for a while now, but want to try FPV and possibly some AP, and multirotors seem like a better platform. I think my plan is leave the...
