"I remember when Michael Jackson (actually Rocketman) made a Jet Pack entrance on stage to a concert of his. Gotta say that between her style stolen from Cher, and this recent Multicopter stunt where she was the payload, I just see another example…"
"I read your story and scrolled up to see what kind of radio you were using and instantly recognized the culprit. I had an Optic6 with which I lost several aircraft due to glitching. I am sorry for the damage to your Quad, but I was not surprised…"
I was updating my firmware on my Arducopter APM V1 board, and got an update failed lost sync message. Now I am unable to connect to my Arducopter APM V1 board at all:-( I was using USB with Mav9 because I coulnd't connect using the newer Mav. …
"I swapped in some APC 12x3.8 props today, I don't need the power of the 12x6 props right now. I ordered these props in glass and carbon fiber. I will only use the carbon ones for display for the most part..Well, I am very happy to report that…"
"Well, I spent some time looking at how I can put another center plate on top of the speed controller/power distributer plate and ended up just using stacked double sided tape. I hope the tape works well for vibration too.After connecting the APM to…"
"Ok, well the AVROTO motors are tested with the BL2 ESC, but I am not too impressed with these motors so far. Basically, they are advertised for A/V specialty, yet they make a lot of noise, even without having a prop on them. The AXI's are a lot…"
"Very Nice, just combing through the photo section. I like the gun metal!Did you have to do something special to tighten the motor mounts to the arm mount? In the case of my AVROTO motors, basically the same motors, I couldn't get at the allen…"
"Cool, I made a few changes which I saw had worked for someone else's quad airframe, and they seem to be working pretty well for the GAUI500X. I am basically making hops hovering 1-3' and noted a far smoother hover, especially over 2-3' where the…"
"Well, I guess the inside term is PID values, which I am starting to modify. The GAUI500X has scorpion 960kv motors, and I am running a 3S battery with the factory 10" props. I lowered a few of the factory values a bit and experimented with them.…"
"I found this page with tuning tips doing a google search:http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/Quad_FlightTips
Here are some more useful links for me:http://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/Quad_PIDTuning Tonight will probably connect up the MK…"

"Well, I have been flying the Gaui500X in stabilize mode for the last week (about 1-3'), and though it's a little bit of a bucking bronco (oscillating), I am feeling more comfortable with Ardu and feel ready to slowly and cautiously, dive in and…"
"I would be careful on the Internet, you are basically documenting your crime, but as far as the actual work, I would just do what you want. Maybe if you get caught, the CIA will give you a job. It's now a crime in LA to throw a frisbee or football…"
"I wasn't arguing, just pointing out that there are some rules which are made to be broken, simply so that you are always at the discretion of the law, or at least that's how it works out. I think park flyers work out like this, not that a park…"
