"@Hugues, that's a great point. They are about 98% of where they need to be, and that last 2% can be a show stopper for a lot of people. And it would be great if rctimer included the 1.25mm hex wrench, since the entire build would…"
Hugues commented on Andreas's blog post RCTimer Brushless Gimbal and Controller"Great post but unacceptable product quality. Most people Do not have the tools and skills you have to correct the screws,bolts,plates design/build faults. Hope rc timer listens to correct this beta version and bring it to a finished product quality."

See what happens if two APM powered quads get too close to each other.
The innocent ArcticCoper was in loiter, the TBS Discovery was in stabilized trying to get close up. Slow motion footage shows how one motor of the AcrticCopter completely stops after hitting the TBS Discovery quad. The damaged propeller then drags one arm down of the TBS…
Continue FPV Video with failsafe demonstration
Posted on March 19, 2013 at 3:30pm 8 Comments 0 Likes
First off, nothing bad happened. In a recent FPV flight at Berkeley Marina, I inadvertently triggered my remote’s failsafe mechanism four times. You can observe the failsafe kick in at 1:04, 1.54, 2:34 and 3:02. Each time the plane banks sharply towards the launch position and the throttle increases aggressively.

Acorn said… Andreas - I was hoping you could help me with a question I have on my DIY Oak Frame. I read in another thread about the importance of the motors being "equidistance" from eachother. In other words, the frame needs to be sqaure (Arms at 90 degrees from eachotherin a Quad setup). My frame is not perfect. It slightly more rectangular, measuring 16.5" on the long edge and 16.0" on the shorter edge. Have you ever encountered this as a problem with your quadrocopter designs? I read that you would have to adjust the Pitch(?) and Roll(?)?
By the way, I changed my screen name to Acorn in case you didn't recognize me.
I hope to hear from you,
