"I personally purchased 4 solos in the last 3 months. 2 with backpacks for 599 and 2 with spare batteries for 399. They fly great and the smartshots are amazing. Very impressed with the rig. They just work! All came with rev b gps except one from…"
"Hi Nick. I have been doing some digging around could not find the weight of the AUAV-x2? I like the compact form but wanted to know if there was any weight savings over the pixhawk. Great work and thanks."
" I have spent the last 24 years flying anywhere that seemed appropriate (i built and flew my first rc aircraft long before I could drive, my dad was amazed it was possible), I have never been AMA and never had a negative response. I hope this does…"
"In the end, he has a seeing eye dog leading him around...now that is full circle."
"The 880's run best on 4s if you only have 10" props or your rig is very heavy. In general a 12" prop on 3s runs very good as well. A 10" prop on 3s is never going to work well at all. At 4000 -5000Ft in altitude (were I live and fly) a 13" prop…"
"Nicads are very heavy and most of our stuff is not "high discharge" unless your blowing your battery in under 5 minutes (I shoot for 25c max ). I would never use a nicad in anything that flies . Twenty years ago I did, but the only alternative was…"
"Nice work. I like the design."
"Thanks for the post. Good work."
"And sorry for your crash."
"Quick note, I run from 2-4 batteries in parallel on my y6 that is theoretically capable of pulling 150 amps. I wired my current sensor coming from just one battery prior to the parallel circuit connection to get around the 90amp limit. I just…"
"Does Naza have a log file? I don't think so but they should. ;) I have found logging to be THE most useful feature but I may just be a data geek. I think Yaw overrides all others so check motor direction and numbering. A 650kv with 13" on 5c…"
"Because it may be very gone, or destroyed quickly. Good luck. Start slow and low cost. There is so many factors and learning curves that go into these things. There is a reason a good camera ship costs a pile of money and may still end up in a…"
"Good work. This is exactly what more people should be using to test with. A GP3/ NEX mass model for dialing in gimbals without the risk. The next level of this would be for testing alternative lenses. Thanks for posting. Ideas like this is why I…"
"Anyone know how this thing is actually flying? I can't see any props."
"Thanks David. This is great work. Can't wait to try it out. I'm running a hex but was considering a x8 or y6 in the future and was not sure how it loaded down the processor. "
"Amazing work! Hope this makes its way into a regular release in the future. Would this code work on a hex or octo with the 2.5/2.6 controller? I know those guys are pushing the envelope on processing with octo's already but it seems the devs have…"
