How is it going with the Arris, I put mine on the shelf I cannot get the setting to the point where I can fly without crashing. I have two others which fly fine but the arris just dives to the ground and there is no recovery. I think I am going to change out the controller, the current one...

I need to fly a fairly large Hex coptor indoors for a short while for some investors. I will be considering flying in the room where we are meeting (last choice) or set up a programmed flight to have it move about (mostly up and down) in a atrium. I am planning not to be able to connect to...

I cannot comment on these machines but for the GPS to be effective you need compatible ground station software. Mission Planner is the go to waypoint software for laptops and there are a few others that will run a android device. I believe is you load Mission Planner on your computer you can...

Bought the X8+ last week to get set up for aerial surveying, assembly was really easy and this is a solid machine, a bit bigger than I had thought it would be. Eight motors and props turning made me take a step backward. Should have been RTF out of the box but that was not the case, however...

Also note that if they are very close they will not sync, set the receiver down a few feet away

Mine is a bit sluggish when I first take off, I think it is the batteries, I have several flights on them. I let it hover for 30 seconds or so and then it seems to pick up. BTW make sure you are on the high power setting, when the batteries were new I flew on the low setting and it seemed...

Get ready for more of this, government spying of a farmer, really

I guess the Naza 2 is a receiver, not familiar but will take a look, thanks for the info.

I would like to get into surveying and 3D photo rendering. For a quad copter to start, I was considering the Phantom 3, learned yesterday that it does not currently have waypoint navigation which is pretty much mandatory for surveying and 3D photo rendering. My basic wants/requirements are ...

BTW here are the proposed rules.

Flew it today with some success, was very stable. I still have a major issue with ailerons, discovered that most of my crashes are due to the ailerons, I can only move the stick a fraction of an inch to get the 250 to pitch, any more and it will flip sideways and crash to the ground before I...

Little update, new regulations expected in September will remove the pilots license requirements, bad news, probably will not be finalized till 2017. Good news there is a bill in the legislature that will remove the requirement until the new regulations are finalize, bad news, our legislature...

email sent, let me know if you don't get it or have questions

The other trick is to look in the documentation, the flashing blue light will show some information on your configurations, here are the setting I used today, was pretty stable given and wind and I had good control. still lots of power so it was faster than I am able to operate until I get more...

I would check with motor it is, turn power up slowly and see if one starts before the others or if one does not start. In the Open Pilot Setup you go through a process to make sure all start together, I would then check the motor to see if the software verifies when all the motors start, mine...
