"I was trying to say, the prop and outer portion of the motor pops off, saving the prop from breaking."
"Indeed, the magnets hold the motor together. I have flown many times with a motor that had the clip missing. No problems. One side benefit is, on the chance of a crash, the prop amd"
"The copper foil, or any shielding needs to be grounded to work"
"Randy,
I loaded rc10 onto my IRIS, and have flown about a dozen test flights.
I've tested Stabilize, Loiter, Hybrid, Sport (lots of fun!), Auto, RTL, and all are working perfectly.
All modes were tried both with, and without EKF.
EKF seems to really…"

"100 feet is WAY too close to the nest.
No wonder the poor bird attacked your intruder.

"I would be interested in doing some indoor flying and trying out my new quad.
Also would like to meet and pick the brains of local flyers.
