    Wookong Woes

    Has anyone noticed any difference in the roll/pitch gains when flying with and without a camera? I managed to have a gain of 280 of roll and pitch for my maiden flights without the camera mounted and it was flying perfectly. Once i mounted the camera (Sony CX730) i had to reduce the gains at...

    Octo Build for Aerial Video

    How reliable is the SimonK firmware either for Blueseries or Maytech.Does it worth doing it on a 5000$ (or even more) multicopter???Are there any significant changes to justify the 'risk' of a bug in the firmware program that may have devastating consequences for our copter or even other people...

    Batteries-connectors and Amp`s for heavy Octo & Hexa

    What do you use to measure the current Amp?The first test i will do when i finish my octo (after a hover) i will stick it to the ground and apply gradually throttle and measure the current at each point of the throttle curve and i will also check the temps of everything.I won`t mount my dSLR...

    Batteries-connectors and Amp`s for heavy Octo & Hexa

    You probably won`t be needing that power quite offen, but since each motor on bench can draw 25A, the whole setup should be build not according to what you will regularly need but even to what you might need.I really don`t know how much it will draw in fast climbing but 80A it seems quite low...

    Batteries-connectors and Amp`s for heavy Octo & Hexa

    The 'here' link doesn`t work.I have seen many hexa using it and the users reported they are drawing 120Amp without getting hot.The one that solds them also claimed ratings above 100Amp.That is why i decided to use 2 of them.

    Batteries-connectors and Amp`s for heavy Octo & Hexa

    That can be the one solution, one battery to each board.Although i am not quite sure if in the event of a one battery failure the one distro would handle the whole load for delivering power to the second one.I will be using these boards...

    Batteries-connectors and Amp`s for heavy Octo & Hexa

    Even if i join the 2 power boards the main connector amp will still remain the same....the load to the main connector will not be less.The question is whether the main connector will stand the total load?

    Batteries-connectors and Amp`s for heavy Octo & Hexa

    I am in the process of building an AD-8 HLE and i will be using 2x 4S batteries in parallel for longer flying times. I am mostly concerned about the main battery connector, the one that will power the whole octo. First of all, let`s see the max amp`s the octo might draw.If each of the motors...

    Lipo C Rating

    Well my question isn`t which battery is better.My question is how a battery can deliver 150 Amp through a connector that can only deliver only 93Amp?? And to extend that i am thinking of using 2 of these batteries in parallel.So, even if i use an EC5 connector that can support up to 120 Amp`s...

    Lipo C Rating

    So a 4S battery at 6000mAh rated at 25C discharge can constantly output 150Amp.Right? How all these amp`s can be transfered through a connector that supports a maximum of 93Amp like HXT 4mm?? The battery i am talking about is the Turnigy 4S nanotech 25/50C. Just a thought...

    Octo Build for Aerial Video

    You did a really good job.I might solder the connectors on the esc also to save some weight and space from the cables.We are in the same project except from the motors.I will be using the MT-2814/770KV with Turnigy plush 30A.How come and you choose the 40A esc?Future upgrades?

    Nice distro mbsteed, how much is the weight?I have ordered two of these http://flyduino.net/Flydubution-Power-Distribution and i will receive them this week.I am thinking of using them both, so that the max each one would have to handle is 100A.
