    Hi Guys!!! WOW....what a difference a weekend "off" makes when checking the forum! SOOOOO SORRY for your crashes!!!! We got 14" of snow at the house and I was (and still am) battling a bout of stomach flu. Doc put some IV's in me this AM and I feel WAY better! Dehydration is a ***** even...

    Hi from Mississippi, USA

    Welcome DI, If you aren't a late college attendee/student then you may or may not know what came to my mind..."Disco Inferno" by the Trammps!!! LOL Anyhow...I think you are going about this the right way. Some folks may say don't waste your dough on a "toy" but I did just that to help me...

    Group Build 2014, DJI NAZA/F450 Quadcopter!

    Corey, Yes I agree with you on the lift of the rotors (ESC will detract from the downforce from the props) but there are always trade-offs.....I have seen many folks PREACH about keeping the ESCs cool and others that do not care. I would think, again assumptions, that keeping the ESCs cool...

    Hi Guys! Your new motors from Paul look kind of similar to what mine look like (Sunnysky 2216 900KV)....the prop adapter on the sunny's have three little threaded bolts that attach it to the bell. The prop adapters came with both a nut and the "pointy thingy"...LOL that goes on the top. I...

    Group Build 2014, DJI NAZA/F450 Quadcopter!

    Thanks Bart! Did you also move the ESCs closer to the motors so that the prop wash will help cool the ESCs as well?

    Mobius cam

    Here are a couple of videos from Bruce in New Zealand (RCModelReviews)....the first video gives a good overview of the camera and at the end you can see his results from his buddy flying an electric plane with the cam mounted on top. The second video shows the testing Bruce did to illustrate...

    Group Build 2014, DJI NAZA/F450 Quadcopter!

    Good thoughts on the little butane soldering device! Never thought about that before but makes perfect sense!!!! Bart, why did you elect to start going with the bullet connectors? I think I am going to start with them and then if I need to cut a few grams I would do that. Excellent idea on...

    Group Build 2014, DJI NAZA/F450 Quadcopter!

    Way to go Corey!!!!! Can't wait to see how the flights turn out! I am already nervous about my maiden flight.....all my parts should be here by the end of the week from RTFQuads and I am really excited about the legs and batwing that I ordered from IrisAerial (Yuri is a great guy and I would...

    Mobius cam

    Monster, I cannot comment, YET, on the Mobius Action Cam and how it does on a multirotor aircraft. I can say that it is a brilliant little camera for sure! I have been using it primarily as a "Dash Cam" for when I do long drives in the mountains, I use it to record my "track days" when I take...

    Group Build 2014, DJI NAZA/F450 Quadcopter!

    Bart, I hope you didn't take my rationale on the connectors as an argument....it wasn't meant to be so. I appreciate the comment on the connectors.....I wasn't aware that there was that much of a difference in weight but you are spot on by saying that we all need to keep the weight down as...

    AerialMediaPros.com DJI North America Dealer NOT EFFECTED by Colin Guinn Suit

    Thanks Patrick! I'm sorry to see any folks get caught up in this mess. It is nice to know that there is someone out there (AerialMediaPros) that can still sell DJI products to the masses! I currently don't have a need for anything now but when I crash my F450, I will be certain to give you...

    CaptainJustice.....why are they not tall enough? Tall enough for what? I am a bit confused. I do love the way you painted them up...it looks really nice!!!! Did you use any "special" paint to do that to them? Thanks Bart....I had a great conversation with Yuri about the legs and the...

    Colin Guinn Injuction Video

    I think this is a subject that SHOULD be discussed here on MRF. Aren't we, as a community at MRF, dedicated to furthering the multirotor hobby/profession/addiction ;) ? I do not know anything about Colin but this subject piqued my interest because there are a great deal of enthusiasts and...

    Group Build 2014, DJI NAZA/F450 Quadcopter!

    I elected to go with the IrisAerial legs.......good way for ME to keep the quad upright and still allow for a cam in the front (batwing)......
