It is, I fell for it. If you read the wing it has the name of the fx guy who did it. I spoke too soon!

Could be a fake, but if not...... Here we go!

WKM likes a cadence when switching back and forth

I'm a huge fan of X8. I set up a Vulcan frame as an XY, and it handles beautifully. The props in view did become an issue, but we've remedied that issue with all z arms. No issues with arm flex, but the bottom motor mounts must be shimmed to drop the props about 3/8 to 1/2" in order to avoid...

And here's a new one... my woman loves helis too! First one that didn't storm off in a fit of jealousy after competing for attention with my fleet.

Higher rpm's and smaller props = more stable I've built 3 different X 8 quads lately, and I'm a believer now. I love X8 configurations. My favorite to fly out of all of my copters ( helis 800 size to 450 and multis 1200 Octo to Estes micro) is my Hobby King Dead Cat frame set up as an X8. It...

I don't think that this will appear anytime too soon, but the days of GPS may be numbered. Interesting tech news : Quantum compass http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2014/05/british-mod-works-on-quantum-compass-technology-to-replace-gps-2957016.html

I've had the AMP kit, and it was ok. It's basically a set of bolt on extensions with a set of nice motors and props. After a while I bought the RCTimer 800 arms that fit DJI frames to install rather than use the cnc extensions that come with the kit. I was more pleased with the rct arms in the...

When the first s800's were released there was a problem with the esc's. At first it was recommended that we jump the 6 almost microscopic resistors on each esc, then they just offered to swap the old esc's for new ones. I did it, and it was a nightmare.The problem that occurred was almost...

Jon, If I were you I'd recommend getting that scuba gear out! I have lost an s800 in a lake, retrieved it, disassembled the electronics and dried them in rice, lubed the motor bearings, and it still works beautifully. I also know of a local guy who had the same experience with a Phantom. If you...

A zenmuse will work beautifully with nothing on it. If you manipulate the camera until you find a "balanced" position, where everything will sit level, I see no reason why it wouldn't work. I've re-balanced mine after a crash, and it's really not a big deal.

Have you tried adjusting your trims?

Take a look at the Vulcan Mantis frames. Very cool! http://www.vulcanuav.com/multiframe-Mantis-Octo.html

You need to adjust the potentiometer on the pan servo. You should be able to rotate it.

Those guys took too much merchandise to remain invisible. They'll turn up when they try to move some of it. I'll keep an eye out. Sorry Patrick, Steve ATX

Another big fan of Patrick here! I've been dealing with him for a few months now, and I recommend him to anyone who asks me where they should buy their equipment. He's always easy to reach when you have a question, friendly, helpful, and he really knows what he's talking about. These are the...

Check to verify that nothing else is using X2. What you're describing happens when that channel is assigned to something else like remote gains, gimbal, etc.

I agree that the RF signal shouldn't be affected by gps signal variations due to the flares, but I don't know how the flares might affect RF signals. If someone does know I would be curious to know. Sickan.... What radio were you using on Sunday, and did you find your Discovery?
