SilverFox commented on Scott Berfield's blog post Adding External LED Indicators and a Piezo Beeper for Arm and GPS Status
"Thanks for sharing. I had an unfortunate event with my quad on Sunday which led to a bloody finger and a desire to add something similar to my code. I want the quad to beep at me when its armed and the motors are not spinning.  That way I know its…"

SilverFox commented on diego colonnello's blog post UAV fuselage redesign....
"Your airframe looks great. Mind sharing it's stats? Weight, span, power system, etc. Also, is that spot up front for your camera? Again, good job with the new design."

SilverFox commented on Thon's blog post Path to an Aerial Photography Drone
"I've always liked Twin Boom pushers! I've built a few from scratch and have always been pleased. The Ursus design is great, I scaled it down and built a 50" version using pictures of the 70". It is one of my favorite planes to fly. If you would like…"

SilverFox replied to UVM UAV Design Team's discussion Not getting enough thrust to sustain flight
"I've been scratch building RC planes for a little while, so here are my recommendations.

Don't use a 8" prop with that motor. General rule of thumb; the lower the Kv, the bigger the prop. The higher the Kv, the smaller the prop. With a 890 Kv…"

SilverFox replied to Kirill's discussion ArduPilot Mega Instructional videos for beginners
"Good job Kirill. I have found that one of the best ways to really learn something is to teach others. You can get a basic understanding on something by reading and a better grasp by applying that knowledge. I believe that you get the most out of it…"

SilverFox commented on Julian's blog post Unmanned Development Team
"Everything looks great!  Congrats on starting the new project.  I really wish I had the chance to do this kind of stuff when I was in school.  Maybe I should look into doing this for one of my local schools.  Could be just as rewarding."

SilverFox commented on Andrew Tridgell's blog post One ESC is not like the others. Why?
"Have you tried to calibrate each ESC seperatley? That is recommended in the Arducopter manual.  Here is the link to that page:

Greetings, I am in need of some expert advice.  My Quad does not want to level out correctly and I am suspecting that I may have a problem with my hardware. I have tried multiple versions of code. Arducopter RC2, ArduPiratesNG, and ArduCopter…

SilverFox commented on SilverFox's blog post HobbyKing Quad Frame Hands On
"Everything has been installed and my QUAD took to the air again tonight. .  I think there is room for improvement, but I still recommend this.  The gear is still an issue, it will need reinforcement. Also, the motor mount holes did not match up for…"

SilverFox commented on SilverFox's blog post HobbyKing Quad Frame Hands On
"That's a great looking frame you have there. I would much rather have it done in G10, but I don't have access to a CNC. I made my first frame from aluminum tubes and G10 that I cut with a table saw and jigsaw. Not the best way to do it, but it…"

SilverFox commented on SilverFox's blog post HobbyKing Quad Frame Hands On
"I've been using AX-2213N 800Kv motors and Dynam 18A ESCs spinning 10x4.7 props on my homebuilt frame.

I think the strength will be fine once I get all of the screws in place. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to finish. HK supplied nylon bolts and…"

My shipment from HobbyKing arrived today.  Among a few other things, the new Quad Frame V1 was in the box.  I  was pretty excited to get this and see if it was worth the $14.   When I opened up the shipping box I noticed that HK packaged the frame…
