About Me:
Old british cars, computers and electronic are my interests. Always making or fixing something with hands-on approach.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
Built two Mikrokopters quad- and an oktokopter. Building my first Arducopter.

"It gets even nicer than Cameroon videos??? Amazing footage and really cool drone."
"That explains the prop issue quite much. Still looking for first 1 bladed props to reach the market:
Nightflyers prop tests
That guy also has videos of one bladed helicopter."

"That is some heavy beast. Flight times are going to be the biggest trouble. Even with 8000mAh I guess your flight times will be around 5 minutes. I suggest you go for two 4000-5000mAh(25C) lipos parallel. That way you will only have to replace one…"
"Check your lipos. I had pretty weird behavior like yours and reason was a bad battery."
"@I.S.
I fly my batteries to 3.7V-3.8V per cell. I have 1000Watts of motors which propably take about 600W-700W when flying. I have always thought that that can temporarily lower the voltage quite much with empty Lipo. I just bought low voltage…"

I have used 750kv motors from RCtimer. Those look exactly like Arducopter motors. My motors are these:

The motor did not burn. I just flew quite long and the battery voltage got so low one off the ESCs cut off power. You can't turn that stupid feature off. When one motor is off, voltage is again higher and rest 7 stay on.
Copter can barely fly…"

Here is video of first flights with the new lighter Hashcopter. PIDs make it a bit agressive and unstable because of reduced weight. Also you can see the massive camera flying with the copter.Story goes like this:I had a bad crash after few hours of…
"ESCs are connected as pairs with servo Y-connectors so no resistors just signals tied together. I use only one ESCs BEC to power the APM+IMU and other ESCs + and - wires are cut away."
"Nice to see how well that quad can carry 1000 grams. You will need quite big battery because the extra weight shortens flight times a lot.
For stable video key factors are well balanced propellers and isolating camera from vibrations.

"Just upgraded to ArdupiratesNG r.589. Will be testing with AH+PH in the following days. Did shoot some video just for test. It didn't have too bad shaking.
I have a feeling things are again going forward during next week or so...

"I'm using Arducopter RC2 with no changes to it except the basic settings.
I calibrated full throttle positions for ESCs separately with receiver. No other balancing done. Basic Quad stabilization takes care of small differences between motors.…"

"Here is how my motors are rotating. If you counter rotate the pairs you won't have any yaw. This is one thing I was concerned when building my copter because nobody seemed to have tried it before. Now I can say it works really well.
Here is couple…"
Here is couple…"
"I have not let the copter stay out to cool down. Actually if I do that my ESCs don't want to initialize. They just start beeping like no radio signal. That could be caused by APM but I believe it's just the speed controllers.
I've noticed no other…"
