RC Planes/Helicopters/Cars/Multicopters anyone? (Page 1 of 2)

I was out doing some testing today but left the camera and footage at the office. Ill upload something tomorrow though!

Here's a poor quality photo I took with a smaller copter of mine down the valley I live in...

The full video. Not very exciting, you have been warned

It is a stock DJI F550 with Naza controller.

The setup in the picture has a separate camera operator. If you want to do anything seriously you will need a separate camera operator, its just too difficult to get the right shot trying to control everything yourself.

And to keep things interesting... a crash video when we were first starting out...

That's sweet. Are you pretty good with the whole 3D flying thing? Got any videos?

First test flight of RObot 2. Really delayed project as some of the funding and supplies struggled to come in on time or at all. Will be making its way into project section over the next few weeks. Most parts were printed on the SD or water jet aluminum.

looked like it was going down in the end of the vid.  Very Neat.

I'm still a multirotor newb.

This thing is so stable I actually have time to take out my phone and take a picture of it while flying xD

I've been working on my own quad. The mock-up was done in balsa, now I'm working on the final acrylic version.

(Sorry for the poor picture quality)

Nice Kyle, what you using for FC board?

Cool!, multiwii's arent too bad once you get the pid's set... I put a naze on my discovery it works great!

So I see a flight cam on there.. you on fpvlab also?

Anybody try printing replacement rotors on a SD yet?
I tried printing the Whirly One rotor toy from Thingiverse but it did not print the pitched rotor too well.
I have a bunch of dual rotor RC Helis and the Eflite MCX rotor blade is small enough to fit on a SD2 table.
The pitch of the rotor looks like the overhang would be well below 45 degrees so would be difficult to print without supports.
Think a printed rotor in ABS would be safe enough to spin up?

Sweet multicopters!

I got a DJI Flamewheel 550 myself that im playing around with.
i'm new to the multicopter stuff, but i enjoy it alot.

I'm more of a FPV(First Person View) than LOS (Line of Sight).  So i've attached a camera on my F550 that i can see through my video goggles.

Also got tilt-mode on my camera, that i can controll with my radio (too look up and down).

Also use GoPro Hero 3 Black Editon on my gimball to capture HD video, and i plan to buy another FPV camera that will have 10x optical zoom, so i will be able to switch between all 3 cameras with a button on my radio, and with a camera switcher i can look at all the cameras in my video goggles.

At the moment only using a 5000 mAh battery, but gonna upgrade it to a 11000 mAh one.

Here's my suitcase

It's a very fun hobby!
