Bad motors or ESC?
Started this discussion. Last reply by Graham Dyer Oct 15, 2012. 1 Reply 1 Like
Hi,I finally completed and configured my 3dr-c quad full kit (880kv motors). About 5 minutes into my (very stable!) first flight, the quad unexpectedly flipped over and hit the ground. I killed the…Continue
Mounting APM2.5 off center?
Started Oct 11, 2012 0 Replies 0 Likes
I am finishing the build of my 3dr quad and had a mounting question. The manual suggests using 3m double stick for mounting to the carrier plate, but I feel better about using nylon bolts to bolt it…Continue
Placement problems with 3dr Quad C
Started this discussion. Last reply by With Oct 2, 2012. 3 Replies 0 Likes
I'll preface by saying that I'm new to multicopters. I've been frustrated with the quality of the documentation around the 3dr and APM2.5. Documentation is all over the place and often glosses over…Continue

Does it make sense to fly a quad in Mode 3? Where throttle and yaw on the right stick and elevator/aileron on the left? Continue

Monroe Lee King Jr. commented on Jason Hilton's blog post StabilGo Camera Gimbal"Defending a patent IS an expensive journey. Time consuming and usually fruitless unless there is big money at stake. Both sides draw in most cases in my experience. If you go up against a small corporation they usually bankrupt and start a new…"
Peter Akacs commented on Jason Hilton's blog post StabilGo Camera Gimbal"Of course depending patents may become expensive journey, but there are still many single man army patent offices and attorneys working with flexible arrangements making the final deal win-win situation in each case. Everybody have an option to…"
Peter Akacs commented on Jason Hilton's blog post StabilGo Camera Gimbal"Actually, whole Stabilgo "project" is just repackaged Mastor Gyro from http://www.foxtechfpv.com/mastorg-brushless-gimbal-for-goprofree-shipping-p-1017.html and yes, it does have separate gyro for each axis thus is violates Adams…"
Monroe Lee King Jr. commented on Jason Hilton's blog post StabilGo Camera Gimbal"Patent law another subject I have some experience in. From my experience it takes about $250,000 to get started defending a patent. If you win the company that infringed had better have made a few million infringing on your patent. If not you may…"
Peter Akacs commented on Jason Hilton's blog post StabilGo Camera Gimbal"Patent law is somewhat complex, but what counts at most is the first claim with respect of the patent description and equivalent function rule. In general aircraft or UAV gimbals without handlebar(s) are not affected by this patent, as such only the…"

"I think that patent won't hold. It specifically describes a see-saw roll mechanism, which is different than the roll-axis most of these new gimbals use, and which are clearly superior for our application. Also, it uses 1 gyro sensor…"
Tian commented on Jason Hilton's blog post StabilGo Camera Gimbal"That patent brings an interesting perspective to brushless gimbals, especially for those companies that profit off of selling them. As for the kickstarter, it is a complete ripoff even if the product is good."
Peter Akacs commented on Jason Hilton's blog post StabilGo Camera Gimbal"It will have very short life. Too expensive, way too shaky, cheap cogging motors, and foremost it violates US patent US8179078 of Adam Sidman see it at www.google.com/patents/US8179078 - Movi gimbal of freeflightsystems as well violates…"

Daniel Allen commented on Jason Hilton's blog post StabilGo Camera Gimbal"I agreed with Paul, build your own! But that guy didn't need a whole Tx setup just to control the tilt. He should have just used a simple servo tester unit.
Just for the record, I wouldn't buy the Stabilgo because of that lady's…"
