    Pixhawk able to do what the Solo does?

    Thanks Chuck What I'd like to do is film small fireworks shows from the air, Plan the flight and have the drone circle the shoot site and do some type of "orbit" around the fireworks. I have all this gear and figured I'd look into seeing if it was capable before thinking about investing. I...

    Pixhawk able to do what the Solo does?

    I started a quad about 2-3 years ago using a Pixhawk controller for the sole purpose of aerial photography. Life got in the way and I set it aside never finishing it or getting it flying. I've been eyeing the 3DR Solo and a lot of what it can do photo wise like the Orbit and cable car feature...

    Hello from Northern Kentucky

    The SunnySky motors are hot items, good quality for a good price. I ended up getting mine from HiModel.com. Paid a a few dollars extra for fedex and had them in less than a week! I see that they're out of the 4110 as well. You may have to try a different motor combination or pay more for a T-Motor.

    Hello from Northern Kentucky

    Steve, Those numbers look good but you may need to either elevate the GPS mount or move it as those 14" props will hit it. I also saw you other post over on the RCG and you were using 12" props with that eCalc setup. Those numbers look good as well. If you can get the SunnySky V series motors...

    My first Quadcopter build - your opinion is appreciated

    I've got the same frame and with the FPV/GPS mount on you can only use 12" props. 15" props even with the mount removed would be cutting it close. I spent days hashing out different scenarios on eCalc as well and ended up going with the SunnSky 3508-20 (580Kv) motors and a 4S battery. Here's a...

    Choosing a flight controller

    I'll wait a bit longer on Witespy. I did have one of his Flip pods flying on a tricopter but couldn't get it dialed in. That was a year ago so I was hoping the software and hardware from the 1.5 version had improved. Buddy RC which is about an hour and a half from me also sells the SuperX. It's...

    Choosing a flight controller

    Not to hijack the Ops thread but I didn't want to start a new one since this deals with a similar subject. If you were to pick a flight controller for ease of use full fpv support and autopilot features which would you choose? I've had limited success with multiwii and do have the same board...

    Simple Frame/Prop/Motor calculator for beginners

    Thank you for doing that! It must be my firewall preventing me from accessing the original link. The web version worked for me once I made a copy. Nice tool, thanks for your work on this!

    Simple Frame/Prop/Motor calculator for beginners

    Hmm, site doesn't open for me. I might be behind a firewall and it looks like this is in Excel format, any way to share it via google docs?

    Hello from Northern Kentucky

    I'm up near Cincinnati so only about an hour and a half from you. I'm working on my second multirotor as my first was somewhat of a failure. Hopefully I've learned a few lessons! It's an addicting hobby, if you like this sort of thing then you'll enjoy it as well.

    Do ESCs need to be reflashed over time?

    I've done a little searching and haven't had any luck in finding the answer. I have 3 year old ESCs from a Tri-Copter build I was considering using in a Quadcopter build. The ESCs are http://tinyurl.com/a2u53ot here. I just purchased a 4th from the same company but didn't think to ask if it...

    Hello from Northern Kentucky

    Hi everyone, I was referred to this site from a mamber over at the RC Groups site. Not too many multirotor people that I know of here in Northern KY but hopefully I can find help here in the forums. Just started building my first Quad Copter based off HKs Alien 560 frame. My first multi-rotor...
