"Thanks for the post. The new version of the Pro Trciopter Kit now ships with a custom, precision machined Stainless Steel Yaw axle which is replacing the much weaker aluminum axle of the past. The hardware crash replacement kit also now ships with…"
"I just loaded the latest release of 2.5 on my APM2 last night (whichever MissionPlanner/ArduCopter Loads for you). Previous 2.4 release worked well on my quad -- stabilize, loiter, alt hold worked ok. On 2.5 today, stabilize flight works, but when I…"
"Take a look at the "Mr. Lifter" competition for multi-rotors 2012. Some of the leaders in the various categories from 2011 achieved some amazing results. Chris -- Maybe we can get entrants of the Mr. Lifter competition to also be entered into the T3…"
After a successful first year of the Mr. Lifter contest in 2011, a new contest has been launched for 2012. The contest has many categories you can enter -- from 'heavy lifter' to 'all out time duration', 'most weight efficient', to 'largest copter'…
"Thank you SheehyFD! I'm glad you like it. I'll try to make a pre-order available at getfpv.com that would reserve you one of the first ones once they're ready in mid January."
FPV Manuals Introduces "LayerLens" -- Exposed GoPro Lens ProtectionThe case that comes with the GoPro camera is beautiful, sturdy, and water tight, but it weighs about 100g and the included mounts make the camera stick up over 1″ with the overall…
"Just seeing this now. Would have loved to join, but am still at work at Sony at 55th and Madison. Mmmm... maybe I'll swing by."
"@patrice -- thanks!
@rapidman2010 -- The music is "Just A Band" and the Song is called "Huff + Puff"

A new teaser video featuring the about to be released Pro Tricopter Delrin Kit. More info available at http://www.fpvmanuals.com/tricopter
"@Sergio -- The orange cover screw hole to screw hole is over 8cm, so 7.4 may be ok, depending on how the cables stick out. The width is also more like 5-6cm. The spacers for the orange cover are 25mm in height, so also more than the 2cm for the APM.…"
"@Sergio -- web server had to be restarted. Should be good now."
"@Axure: I will take some video and post it. The recommended props can produce thrust of about 700g each -- or 2100g total. The fully built kit without lipo weights 630g. Add a 200g lipo and 200g GoPro and your at around 1kg -- or about half of…"
"Hooks -- not sure if it's intentional and just to make sure it's clear: the tricopter kit posted here is a kit, available for sale, that is made from 2.3mm Delrin. You said "delrin would be perfect material"... what I am saying is that "Delrin IS…"
"Alex -- Great question!! The mount is the exact same on the top and bottom. If you use the suggested AX-2213N motors, you can even use the included hardware to mount 2 motors on the same mount. The only thing you'll need is another plain motor…"
"What else is made from Delrin? Guitar picks! Thin Delrin that can be hit against metal strings for hours on end, with force and without breaking makes for a good tricopter frame material."
"Hooks: Only the flight controller cover and feet are acrylic. The frame and motor-mounts are made of Delrin -- a super strong plastic that, in my opinion, performs better than fiberglass. Fiberglass is harder and will break on hard impact. Delrin…"
