Tim Carter replied to Heller Gregory's discussion Gimbal screws in IRIS
"I found a wonderful place to get all the metric bolts and nuts that are hard to find.
http://www.mrmetric.com/
Great service, fast shipping, big selection. I needed 4 3mmx6 bolts to mount a motor, ended up getting 50 because the price is right and…"

Tim Carter replied to Tobey's discussion Foldable Carbon Props in IRIS
"I like the idea but it seems that the prop would lag behind it's theoretical ideal position, causing the disk size to decrease, especially under a load. This may be completely unfounded, just a hunch. The slow-mo guys could clear this up.... Maybe…"

Tim Carter replied to Michael Z's discussion Order Placed Days Ago in IRIS
"3DR is not amazon! They take their sweet time. If you order from them, patience, patience, patience...I have experience in this regard, order same product elsewhere if possible. My iris+ tipped and flipped a few times upon landing (before I figured…"

Tim Carter replied to SteveL's discussion Black Pearl rc801 Battery not working in IRIS
"I just powered mine on, then plugged an unpowered charge plug in and it did not shut off. So there doesn't seem to be a battery disconnect in the charge port. Could you check for voltage at the battery pins?"

Tim Carter replied to Justin M's discussion Rotors spin, but no takeoff in IRIS
"Just calibrate the ESCs. I've had the same problem several times. Just follow the directions in the video (Jimmy Oliver sent you a link). Your problem should go away. Just remember how to do it because it may happen again when you least expect it."

Tim Carter replied to Kris Kitchen's discussion Landing drone flips over and will not turn off? in IRIS
"Ok, how about an "it's landed" switch that will let the iris know, before it does, that it is in fact on the ground?
ps... I did get mine back in the air today :[)"

Tim Carter replied to Kris Kitchen's discussion Landing drone flips over and will not turn off? in IRIS
"A switch to stop the motors seems to me to be a no brainer. I had a RTL that cost four blades possibly due to a last minute gps adjustment. In RTL, I didn't have control of the throttle. In my first prop replacement incident, I let the iris+ land…"

Tim Carter replied to Keith Fraley's discussion resetting the IRIS+ to original factory settings? in IRIS
"I have reset all settings as described by Todd Harper, but the propellers still wont spin up upon arming. Is this a radio issue? How would one reset the radio?"

Tim Carter replied to Khanh Tran's discussion Has anyone received the new Iris+?
"I've had mine for a few weeks. A few dozen flights. Two crashes upon landing, I set the throttle all the way down but IRIS vetoes that, flips over, slinging gravel, breaking props...need some sort of kill switch so once it has landed, I can stop the…"
