My personal copter has evolved over the last year or so into a reliable, stable and capable platform. But I've decided to sell it and buy an ALTA because a) I no longer have the time to maintain and experiment with it b) I need the portability of the ALTA and c) I need the space in my shop. In...

I have moved to 1.3gHz on all my machines, and my lovely Iftron hardware is now looking for a new home. I have the Iftron Mondo Xtreme transmitter and the YellowJacket 5.8 USB receiver. I have a couple different antennas (CP, Vitenna, small yagi) that I'll throw in, too. Both units are in great...

I did the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge with my X8 copter today. 10 pounds of ice water dumped from the air on my head. It wasn't easy, but it sure was fun! Hopefully I can whip together a "Making Of..." if I have some time this week. It was quite the adventure! :D

I have a big quad with the NAZA-M V2. In an attempt to isolate my 1.3gHz vTX antenna, I tried moving my GPS puck as far forward as I could on my big quad. I have a CF boom out front for my gimbal, so I put the antenna (mast and puck) out there. GPS fix was horrible before, and it's great now. I...

I currently have my flight mode switch on my Spektrum Dx8 programmed for GPS/Atti, Atti, and Manual modes. I like having Manual accessible, as I'm new to the Naza, and I want to be able to override the flight control's brain if things get wonky (I've read all the flyaway stories). But I'd also...

I am building this copter, and flew it for the first time yesterday: http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?20678-Airsight-4-A-Strong-Shouldered-Quad This is my first foray into Naza land. I'm an experienced Mikrokopter guy. Of note is that while the copter flew OK for a maiden, I have...

I am a Cinestar/Octo guy, and committed to the heavy lift platform I spent more than a year designing, building, testing and flying. And when it's time, it'll be a real moneymaker for me. But I've found over the last year that I miss having a smaller copter that's less complicated to put in the...

I just saw that Hobby King are stocking a new model of the Walkera QRX350 called the “Pro”. It’s notable for some interesting capabilities. High capacity 3S 5200mAh battery provides 25 minute flight times G-2D brushless camera gimbal (compatible with iLook and GoPro Hero 3) Devention DEVO 10...

I’ve built up a heavy lifter, and I’m ready to part with my old reliable Cinestar 8. It is a sturdy, smooth and super reliable flier. I have logged hundreds of hours with it, and it will undoubtedly do the same for you. I have many spare parts (such as a motor, bearings, BL 2.0, extra power...

Anybody have a Graupner GR12 that they’re not using (in the USA, please)? A GR16 would be fine, too. I’d like to buy one. Thanks!

I bought these for a project, and they're not going to fit what I'm doing. They are these motors, specifically designed for brushless gimbal usage: http://www.armbgc.com/gbm4114-120t/ I have never used them, and they're in perfect condition. Price delivered to you in the USA is $110 (Paypal...

I am using the MK-USB board to talk to my MK stack on my Cinestar 8 and it works great. But I noticed that the Navi board actually as a USB port on it. I tried plugging into it, but Windows says it doesn't know what to do with the connection. Does it do anything? Can I use it instead of the...
