Do you think it would work as a drone gimbal?

Motor one of my quad stops at times. All motors will arm, but motor one stops after take off. I have calibrated the ESC’s and all wire connections are solid. Does this sound like a bad FC (NAZE v.6) or an ESC (all are new)? Thanks

Anyone know how long the approval process is now days? Seems like the FAA was getting them done in a couple months for a while there, but I’ve heard it is 8 – 12 months now…….. Anyone know??

Per CNET: The EHang 184 AAV is a one-person pod lifted by eight rotors mounted in pairs on four folding arms -- thus the number 184. Announced Wednesday at the CES tech show in Las Vegas, the battery-powered aircraft is designed to carry a passenger for 23 minutes at about 60 miles per hour. The...

While performing the below ESC Calibration steps using Betaflight, with the battery disconnected, I'm not hearing any beeps at step 5 or 7, when I connect an ESC to the FC. What are possible causes for no beeps? All motors start at same time while motor testing, although with shallow range...

After linking my Orange FASST 8Ch receiver to my Futaba T14SG, and connecting my flight battery, I don’t get any stick response in Baseflight, under the Receiver tab, The receiver has a solid green light and a slow blinking red. I have the Naze32 Rev 6 board. Any suggestions for what I can...

This multirotor can lift a person - great fun to watch! http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/hoverboard-duru-1.3270569

Always fun to put a face to a post! Dezy

I'm having difficulty getting GPS/satellite lock after installing video tx (5.8G 32ch 600 mW). So I tried wrapping the wires and covering the bottom of the DJI GPS puck with copper foil tape to try and shield them – which helped a little, but still hard to get 6 sats. My next step is to form a...

For a Futaba with a monitor mounted to it, would it be worth it to get a tray, such as http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DVW21ZG?psc=1 or just go with a good shoulder harness? Any opinions? Thanks, Dezy

How many minutes does your 2 or 3 cell battery power your monitor? I’m considering buying an 8” monitor with a built in 5.8 receiver, and not sure what size battery to get. Since I’m going to mount it to my radio, I want to keep the weight as low as possible. Thanks, Dezy

I think I would only need to be able to tilt. Any recommendations? Thanks, Dezy

I recently came accross this video clip showing a hawk vs. MR......... http://fox5sandiego.com/2014/10/08/angry-bird-hawk-knocks-drone-out-of-the-sky/

What would be a good camera for photography, that shoots raw images? I would like to keep its weight to about 6 - 9 ounces. I'm looking at the Sony DSC-RX100/B 20.2 MP for about $500. Does anybody like another fairly-light camera? Thanks, Dezy

I have a Futaba 14SG and want to turn down the sensitivity of the sticks – at least until I can get mo-beda.:02.47-tranquillity: I’ve read that other radios use an “expo” adjustment, but I’ve not found that on either the radio, or its manual. Does Futaba call it the “trim rate”, instead? I’m...

I was testing the motor direction on my new quad with the NAZA Lite. All motors were working/spinning, except my #4 motor. So I switched the M3 and M4 leads at the FC, and then #4 worked, but now #3 didn’t. Does this sound like I have a bad FC? Is there something else I can try before trying to...

I'm building an F550 and wondering where is the best place to mount the LED so that you can monitor its light color and current status. Is it best to mount it on the bottom facing down so you can see it in any orientation while in the air. Or is it better to mount it on the side of a rear arm...

As my first build to hang a gopro from, I was thinking that by not using the M1and M4 arms of the F550, this would help keep the arms out of the camera view. In other words, to build the F550 as a quad X.:highly_amused: Has anyone tried this? Is it stable? I’ll be using the NAZA Lite FC, and...

Should I order one extra motor as a spare for a F450 quad? I'm a nubee following Bart's Group Build (didn't get a reply, there) recommendation of the MT 2216-12 motors. What are the chances of needing to replace a motor in a year, and Tiger not making that model anymore? I'm assuming that one...

Greetings! I'm considering a Scarab Y6 for videography. Has anybody had any experience with the company, or the Scarab itself? I noticed they use a 3-bladded prop. Anybody know the pros/cons for those? Maybe you can use a shorter prop.......... Thanks in advance.
