Just received this email today from the ACUAS organization. It had a link to an interesting article that may provide some insights into upcoming FAA regulations, I sure hope this is real and on target. It looks promising...

As the proud new owner of a Taranis radio I have NO clue how to set it up but figured a thread might help others like me setup what appears to be an awesome radio with our awesome flight controller. I've got the radio that comes with the X8R receiver, is this a good rx? My knowledge is limited...

Selling off my spare boards and quads trying to raise funds for my Hex project. Here's a great flying Hoverfly Pro board I purchased used and have used it A LOT and it performs great. I'm selling this one DIRT CHEAP as the OSD portion doesn't work. Everything else works and passes as you can...

I have a used Hoverfly Pro Black Board and a used Hovefly GPS Board both in great condition. Both upgraded to 4.8 firmware and working great. I also have the 3DR GPS antenna with integrated battery for quick GPS locks and subsequent locks. These retail for $450 a piece for each, $900 total...

Hello Fello SuperX users! As some of you may know I'm looking to build a hexacopter to carry my nex5 camera with brushless gimbal. I've been looking at the Tarot t810 folding hexacopter frame as portability is important to me especially on a copter this huge! Something I noticed however is...

While this is not a step by step setup these are my initial thoughts upon setting up a SuperX. The Super X comes in an Apple-like packaging which was pretty impressive. The casing is aluminum and looks impressive. It's a little on the heavy side but it's nice and compact and the IO module is a...

I recently purchased the AG500DD 3 axis brushless gimbal from Tppacks.com on 9/19/2013, It's the latest version of their Sony Nex sized brushless gimbal. It's an awesome gimbal and I was able to successfully set it up on my hand held setup where it worked well. Unfortunately, this is much larger...

I thought it might be a good idea with all the pros here to discuss what makes a good video including ideas, techniques, shots, etc. I feel like from a technical perspective I've got a couple of quads that can take nice video. But I don't really have a videography background so I think it...

Hey Guys, I figured this forum probably has the highest concentration of pros around that have experience. I recently had an opportunity to work on a commercial shoot with my Hoverfly Pro based Spidex/Brushless gimbal quad. My quad setup has a separate FPV cam from the HD cam. The shots...

Thinking about going with a Naza-M V2 but was wondering if people are still having fly aways with this? I've read about a lot of fly aways with the original Naza, has that been resolved? Thanks in advance!

Would something like this help in GPS accuracy? Sure seems like it would! http://www.engadget.com/2013/08/07/piksi-brings-half-inch-gps-accuracy-to-kickstarter-for-900/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=feedburner&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+weblogsinc%2Fengadget+%28Engadget%29&utm_content=Google+Feedfetcher...

I've seen some great deals on used HF Pro's and GPS gear lately over on RCGroups classifieds. If I wasn't spending all my cash on my brushless gimbal I would have picked up the Black board + GPS for $450. Then another sale a few days later for the same combo at $540 together. It's a buyers...

I realize this isn't directly related to HF unless you count the fact that I'll be using one of my Pro boards as the FC for my new frame/gimbal from Quaternium. Hopefully the Pro board fits on the frame as the gimbal has a nice rail based vibration dampening system that bolts right onto their...

I've got a quad that has a sport board in it. A couple of times now when I try to arm it, the board does the first beep then starts flashing purple. I looked in the manual but didn't see what kind of error this could be. I replaced it with another sport board and it's worked perfectly. Anyone...

I just discovered this last night as I was running the frequency tester off my EZuhf Rx. The biggest culprit was my power switching regulator (TBS CORE) but I think I can fix that a little bit with a grounded tin shield (just learned about it :). The next surprise was when I powered up the ole...

I've had a GPS unit since they first came out but until recently have only really used it for the OSD features it offered. On my last FPV flight I threw caution to the wind and decided to test Position Hold as well as Return to home. Here are the results: Notice the twitches while the GPS...

Bear with me on my FC rant :) When I first started out in multirotors I was flying a Gaui 330x like I suspect a lot of people did. I moved that FC to several different frames and it served me well but definitely had its quirks. I then thought I needed accelerometers for safety so I picked up...

I've had a problem with every multirotor I've built. Given that, it's probably my builds but here it goes... I like to fly FPV and I like to fly fast. Whenever I get going or really just the the motor RPMs up there the motors start to pulse causing micro-bounces in my video. I've been...

Is it just me or does this seem to be a REALLY slow moving forum? Whenever I go to the Hoverfly section it says anywhere from 5 to 15 people are viewing the section at any given time but the amount of posts is next to nothing :( I was hoping for a lot more activity over here in the HF forum. I...
