quadcopter

Since it was FliteTest on Youtube that got me interested in RC and "forced" me to start this hobby, I figured I would log my progress here on flitetest forum >.<;; My adventure starts with 2 years of watching FliteTest videos and drooling over the RC vehicles :P After being really bored one 4...

Here is my first video using the Tarot 2D gimbal. This is mounted horizontally on the front of my Cinetank Mk2. The gimbal is working pretty well so far and really smooths out the video. I am running a seperate FPV camera (Fatshark 600TVL) so I can still see the quadcopter tilting, which means I...

So a passing seagull almost ran into my flying cinetank mk2 quadcopter, luckily it missed, so I followed it for a while. It was a very interesting flight.

I had the opportunity to take some aerial video of some deer in the field. The deer didn't seem too concerned by the quadcopter itself and only walked away after a few passes. The Cinetank is flying well and seems very stable. Enjoy the video!

I am building a small quadcopter with coreless motors. This one: http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/37V-50000RPM-Small-Coreless-Motor-716-p-1884.html?cPath=39_40 Speed: 50000 rpm Rated voltage: 3.7 V Rated current: 100mA I think Hubsan X4 uses similar motors. So, i guess, i can get the lift...

Hey guys I wanted to share with everyone my experience building my first multirotor and some of the things I did to get it in the air. I set this up to be 2 person so I can fly it and someone else work the camera. First Id like to say this was built with the idea of moving some of the parts...

Hi, I'm started to feel a little frustrated and that I have wasted my money due to wiring up all my fpv gear and getting nothing, hoping someone could please help. Here is what equipment I have: TX&RX...

I'm sure some folks don't like cheap quad kits, but I had to go for it. All the more expensive bare bones kits I looked at didn't include an FC board, so I went this route to see if I even like multi rotors. I also like the small airframe to start out, since I don't have a ton of space in my...

This is my first quad copter build and so i am very new to all of this. I am using a naze32(full version) and was using cleanflight to set it up. I did manage to start to set it all up without any problems. I managed to assemble the whole quad copter fine and everything seemed to be working but...

I have two quadcopters for sale. Both are practically new. Selling because I have another 250 that I fly a lot more often than these. The HobbyKing Spec FPV250 is RTF and a fairly clean frame. It flys ok, but I prefer the Naze32 board over kk, so I would recommend picking one up with it. The...

A small skit I did with my little sister. The easter bunny?! Turns out NOPE! It's really drones that deliver and hide our easter eggs and presents! This explains everything. A little girl wakes up early to see if she can see the easter bunny hiding eggs, she gets a huge surprise when she sees...

The video above is a comparison between our aluminum frame and a G10 counter part. It tests things like strength, weight, and overall durability. The idea came about after we got tired of buying knockoff G10 frames online, each time we crashed hard we pretty much needed a new frame. So I had an...

Check out this video from Tested. Jamie Hyneman attaches a circular saw to his quadcopter to do some landscaping...or is he preparing for the zombie apocalypse? It's one use for a multirotor that is unique because it does not involve a camera or cargo transport.

This isn't article material but I had such a great time exercising the fingers the other day I wanted to share a couple of the videos. The two frames I was flying were the R220 & PM300 mini quads. Both are frames I CNC cut myself as those who follow my articles on the main site will be aware...

I have been flying quadcopters for quite some time but mainly have been rtf. I really want to make a multirotor for fpv racing. I'm stuck on the fence between trying to make a 250 class quad or a tricopter as I like the yaw characteristics of a tri and they are relatively cheaper to make. Any...

Hi All, This is my first Quadcopter build and so far everything seems to be going good. I do have a few question for the pro's out there. I have a Acro Naze 32 flight controller and I wanted to make sure that I am hooking up my ZTW Spider 20A OPTO ESC correctly. I have all four ESC connected...
