"Thanks for support!
Can someone explain how motors can start at full speed when powering FC? How that can be prevented?
My accident scenario is easy to reproduce. What is the propability of my accident? Someone should setup a secured test bench....…"

I wanted to share my experience to help & protect you all. No multicopter is worth personal damage & stitches.BackgroundWe have been building & testing ardu-based octa-V craft. Part of the challenge has been power usage / high amperage. Orginally we…

Our OctaV project is progressing. Now it was time to test the gimball with Gopro. The end result was surprisingly good.We still have challenges with the basic flight. The amperage is quite high - 2x 20C 4ah 3S lipos are at their limit. We could add…

"Chris good work!
We all need to be active and demostrate the hobbyside, diy-attitude, innovation, science, - all the good side of drones.

"1) A fast crash- I wonder what happend in here?
Video: http://youtu.be/mdfObwQ06vs?t=2m13s (starting at the crash)
Also at 48s you can hear a sudden burst & roll direction change. That was caused by FC.
My take on the video + logs would be that…"

"Had a test flight with 2.9. Only hover + ALT hold.
All works smoothly. Thank you!
I turned the rate P sligtly down. I want the hexa to be rather smooth for video use.
One feature has appeared: When putting alt hold on, the hexa drops 1 meter down…"
