I experienced a strange arming issue today that I wanted help trying to understand. I couldn't arm my copter, and it displayed the light flashes like alt hold was on. Strange thing was - I didn't have the alt hold gain channel connected, and it's been this way for the past 3-4 weeks with...

So, just had the Masters on right now and they showed what has to be an MR shot of flying the 13th hold. It's at tree level - so no real heli I would think My money is someone on this forum did it.. who's taking credit? Beautiful shot btw.

http://sd20.senate.ca.gov/news/2012-12-03-senator-padilla-introduces-bill-regulate-drones-california Hopefully, Hollywood responds to this. I am writing a letter to the senator trying to point out hte positive. I encourage you guys to write as well to show that there is a growing community...

Hey Guys, I have been flying my GP3 black a lot recently - mostly in 1080 M 60fps Protune ON. Today I switched it up and turned protune off. Wow, I know that protune ON needs post to look good, and I have been doing that. But straight out of the camera the protune off looks way better than...

http://thehill.com/blogs/hillicon-valley/technology/279235-hollywood-wants-drones-for-movie-making Hopefully this helps move some fair legislation along. I know probably a reach.. And I wish people would stop calling our RC multis drones.

http://vimeo.com/56170997 Anyone have any insight into the new controller Jeff is talking about? I am guessing it's from FreeFly, but this is the first i have heard of it. Whatever it is, looks like it's designed for the big guys!

So, I have been noticing lately that my Y6 (HFP, 4.3.860, Avrotos, 12x3.8SF top, 13x6.5E bot, 4.0kg, Man/AL gain 35% EPA, props are recently balanced) has had issues descending. When descending at slow to moderate speeds, I will get oscillations and wobbles. Generally, I have to arrest the...

Just was watching Discovery channel, and they were featuring there new documentary: Winged Planet. It's basically planet earth but for birds. Besides their normal awesome film work, they used a multirotor, which they talked about a little (it's used on the flamingo scene). Looked like a...

Hoverfly team, I have been noticing that there are more options for low pitch props in the standard, tractor config (CCW) than the pusher config. As the HFP requires pusher on the top, that limits the prop choices we have if you want to get out of the APC SF scene. For example: I am looking...

Hey guys, Anyone have any tips on how to take panoramas? I have someone wanting me to take a tricky panorama (aerial obviously) which captures both the sunrise from the east and sunset in the west. This would at least require two flights and some slick photoshopping. He wants to use it as...

Hello all, I am noticing some slight shuddering that leads to slightly shaky video when i am flying in manual mode that seems to go away when I am in AL. Could this be due to a low or high gain setting? I would normally blame this sort of shaky on unbalanced props or over damped isolation...

*Note: Posted this over at RC groups, but I am liking this forum more and hoping to get some responses here! I have read some older topics on the questions that I am about to ask, but I haven't seen anything recently or anything conclusive. So pardon my repetition. I am getting excellent...

Hello all, Trying to migrate to these forums from rcgroups (seems to be much more civil..). Lot of good info here to digest from what I have seen. I currently fly a Y6 using an HFPro and a small quad with a APM2. The Y6 is still in need of a gimbal and some tuning, but beyond that it's a...
