"For me the calculated values didn't match the real used mAh, it was about 1/3 too high. I need to check the A metering with a digital multimeter while the motors are running as the A metering doesn't seem to be correct at low values. I will need to…"
"V3.3 RC10 doesn't let me set the Initial_SetUp\Optional_Hardware\Battery_Monitor\Sensor to "4: 3DR Power Module", it always reverts to "0: Other"."
"Serious now: the language is Flemish, it is spoken in the north of Belgium and very similar to Dutch."
"Mars. Ever wondered where all the cows go that got beamed up by UFOs? And on Mars they speak Belgian."
"Why, cows don't have mobile phones?!?"
"I heard one of the cows mowing to the other, "Look there is a GPS on it and the camera is still running""
"Nice, girls from the Limburg (NE) side of my country. They get really technical, amazing! They probably didn't take it because they understand what a GPS tracer can do, or maybe they are just nice girls."

"Guess you're right, the tilted surface seem to have the ESCs mounted underneath, maybe for cooling? Here is another picture:"

1: With even number of motors: half the motors turn CW and the other half CCW
2: Tricopter: using a servo to tilt one rotor
3: Like above picture using thrust vectoring
4: ?"

"Hi John,
now I'm starting to understand why they prefer to use servos with all the risks of having moving parts involved. So you think the camera only needs tilt (for framing the object) and no roll gyro compensation? But why are they using two…"

"Guess they didn't find any decent CW / CCW pair of props in that size. (Prop size is 500 mm diameter) The more I look at the pictures I believe they are using 4 servos, tmho the red and green part are moving too. Or maybe they do this because a…"
I found this picture of a quite unusual quad. This model has no counter rotating props, it uses some kind of servo controlled levelers on two sides of the booms. Never seen this before!This heavy weight quad doesn't come cheap, prices starting at…
