Looking forward to hearing what is coming up, Bart!

I saw these guys on a tech-oriented shark tank type show. I am surprised to see the booms are still 3D printed, as I figured that was something they would do away with after the prototype.

Looks like more of the same... But mine's red! Wait, but our company's motors are upside down! This is revolutionary, thinking outside of the box stuff!

Definitely has their gears turning now, though, I'm sure!

DJI is advertising their stabilization system as 'Vision Positioning Technology'. Watching the following video, whatever they are doing, it is working quite well. Any ideas?

Hi Guys, Are any of you using opto ESC's? I have a YS-X6 and none of my ESC's are arming, though all work when tested separately. I tried one esc with sbec with the red wire snipped, and it worked without issue. Any thoughts on this?

Enjoying the view. Would have liked to have a copter with me.

I am building a new setup with a Zero UAV YS-X6. I accidentally ordered one sbec esc and 7 opto's. I can only get the sbec esc to arm. I can tell power is running to the others, as I can feel the tension on the motors, but they won't spin up. I also can't get the programming card to work on...

I'll just leave this here... http://gizmodo.com/this-poor-guys-loses-1430-worth-of-camera-and-drone-in-1480711934

Viacopter has repeatedly come up as a trusted vendor. If only I'd learned that early on!

To make a long story short, watch the video. I'd seen some run-ins with this company in previous posts, but wow, my own interaction bordered on the comical. In the end all I requested was a refund. From claiming I was a Chinese spy to claiming I was blackmailing them (for the refund) this was...

As the president of one of the largest and most successful companies in the world, he understands that there are a hundred answers to those reasons.

I'm pretty excited to see what Amazon comes up with. If anyone is going to move the technology and efficiency forward, it is someone with a 25B R&D fund.

What improvements have you seen heat-wise by switching to HF? I work in some pretty intense heat, so I'm all for the best FC heat-wise. Thanks!

That is the site of the primary US mikrokopter retailer. I am not sure if bart has a site. He goes by the username Bartman here and runs this site (multirotorforums.com).

I have one of Bart's XY8's and just built a larger one using a cinestar 6 center plate. Flies great with mikrokopter. If you haven't purchased the super x I would consider an mk stack. Some great deals pop up on here and rcgroups.

Truth be told I hadn't watched them before. I checked it out now and see it revolves around hoverfly, however the basic principles apply to any flight controller. And yes, you will be a solder-pro by the time you are done. If you aren't, you will gain lots of experience fishing your quad out of...

Do you have any experience with a soldering iron? If not, you are about to learn. Don't let this overwhelm you, it seems like a lot at first, but once you understand what does what and what goes where, putting it together is like a very intricate set of legos. If legos required soldering. My...

At the end of the day, there isn't much to any of these rigs. Some carbon fiber booms, three motors and a respective bracket, some right angle adapters. The price on these setups will continue to drop as more companies undercut each other. With the markup on all of this, there is PLENTY of room...

I'd also be interested in what FC's you've tried with this design, I am testing a similar design (minus the two middle booms) and have nearly come to the conclusion that mikrokopter isn't capable of being programed to work with it. I really like the attention to detail and quality of the build...
