There are people here with more experience than I have but a couple of things I noticed right away. First of all I would say you are sorely underpowered. I plugged in your values into the ecalc website and it's showing that your hover may be around 80% throttle. In other words your bird weighs...

Oh, don't get me wrong there is a reason I don't want the cheap HK H-Quad besides it's just to big. As much as I like the quality of the QAV frames too 150+ for a frame is just a little more than I personally am willing to spend on a frame with out easily replaceable main components. What you've...

Really like this design too, it was a little spendy back in November when you were first making them.

Just thought I would write a bit about my Talon and thoughts on it so far. I ordered mine along with the 380mm extended booms. I also ordered the HK "recommended" TGY-306G servo. Once the Talon was dialed in with the KK2 board and the v1.5 firmware I was immediately loving the way it flew. I'm...

I've been flying a few different machines over the last couple of months and have learned quite a bit. One thing that is not fully clear is the placement of the Rx antenna wires. The other day I noticed an inch of one of the wires off the Futaba Rx is gone. Likely a prop trimming. I guess I need...

I had a very minor love tap with a prop and solid object with one motor set. One of those motors does have a slight rough feel when hand turning, I swapped it out. On my tri with another motor set I had a crash that busted up some props. After looking everything over, replacing the props and...

Very helpful find thank you. I will be doing this shortly as I still have the issue that I think this may help narrow down.

So the big question is I can "see" anything off in the movement of the motors with or without props. Nothing feels strange when hand turning either. What methods does one use to figure out if a shaft is bent, or something else with the motor has gone all miss aligned? I had a very minor bump...

Edit: I appears from further reading that most any 28mm motor will fit, so I guess the issue I have is with an ESC that will fit in the arms. So I ordered a Gaui 500X frame mostly because it was pretty inexpensive at $25 and because I like the slightly cleaner design of the motor housing. It...

So, here is an odd thing. I've finally about finished up my talon build but I'm getting no output to the servo out of the M4 output on the KK2 board. Connecting the servo directly to the Rx works as expected but completely get nothing when connecting the output from the KK board. I've getting...

Nice! Mine is sitting in customs right now, hopefully it will arrive by the end of the week, but more likely not until Monday. For the KK board if you use the java flashing app you don't need a direct download to the 1.5 firmware since it has the link built into the app. I've updated both my...

juz has some bad *** stuff, but that video is killer fun. Damn smooth flying that I would expect from a fixed wing not a quad, he is just nuts flying low and fast through obstacles like that. Love it!

Several years back I was doing some autonomous robot development with the basicx-24 chip. Back then the ultrasonic sensors worked great for range checking and it the same idea today with them in flight controllers. I'm not sure there is anything off the shelf, but honestly the sonar ones are...

Jim, yes mine are the Turnigy nano-tech 4000 mAh 4S. A few folks around here have expressed distaste for the nano-tech batteries but I've yet to find any consensus and these have been great and worked pretty hard lately.

Ahaha nice... I almost ordered one today, but I pulled in the reigns just a bit to do a little more digging. I really didn't want the CF frame honestly, but the more I see the utility of the Talon the more I'm sold on it. It's sitting in my HK shopping cart waiting to hit continue. Posts some...

When you say phone app you don't really say which phone, but since I'm of the opinion that the iPhone is the only device worth using and developing for there are several flight log app in the app store today. They are all for actual pilot logs from what I can see, but there are choices ranging...

I don't have exact experience with the 5000 Mha battery, but I have been using a couple of the 4S 4000 batteries and have had excellent performance from them on my quad. I basically have been running two charges a day on them, and a few on weekends. Fly, charge, fly. They have not even gotten...

Found another "universal" plate design from Flyduino. http://flyduino.net/Flyduino-Cheese-Plate-universal-Centerplate-Set-for-Quadrocopter These Grasshopper body parts has a Y set that may be able to be modified with other arms for a tricopter...

Ahaha, oh so you are the reason the 18 awg and 16 is out of stock... ahahh <style id="_clearly_component__css" type="text/css">#next_pages_container { width: 5px; hight: 5px; position: absolute; top: -100px; left: -100px; z-index: 2147483647 !important; } </style>

There design is really only for Y6, plus the all carbon fiber is just way over priced.<style id="_clearly_component__css" type="text/css">#next_pages_container { width: 5px; hight: 5px; position: absolute; top: -100px; left: -100px; z-index: 2147483647 !important; } </style>
