Hello to all of you drone enthusiasts and not only. It's been a while since I posted on my bog, but today I really felt to do so...What do we want from multirotors or drones? Some of us searching for thrills want speed and fly mostly smaller and more agile drones, some of us want good camera performance for our "artistic" side and therefor we need good camera outputs with 3 axis gimbals, all of us I think we want our toys to be small and portable but to stay a long time in the air alike, right?<br />
Before going to today's subject for this post I want to let you know that I build a few multirotors myself, in various shapes and sizes...just a few examples:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=io71lVq5AdI" target="_blank">Flip Fpv pro</a> with multiwii FC</li>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_7fczZS8Ds" target="_blank">HJ Alien frame</a> - think it was my first build</li>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zprdIYfI1IU" target="_blank">650 folding hexacopter</a> with the "famous" back then Crius AIOP flight controller</li>
<li>650 class <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul6DJjFCwIU" target="_blank">Tarot 650</a> carbon using an APM 2.8 flight controller</li>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9twqkCs_GUo" target="_blank">2x 250/280 "racing quadcopters"</a> and will start building an Lumenier QAV R soon</li>
<li>I also have a CX 10 and a Walkera ladybug, and not lastly...</li>
<li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ7Ud6JsSks" target="_blank">Dji Phantom 3 Advance</a></li>
</ul>
<div>
Building and programming the FC's are really a nice learning experience that will get you to a certain level of knowledge on how to debug and fly these RTF quads, unlike other guys that buy themselfes directly Phantoms and upload on different media channels how high or crazy they fly...sorry guys but this is my opinion...Now if you ask me why in the world I bought myself also a Phantom3??? The answer is very simple: IT JUST WORKS...yes, you heard me...last quads I sold were my Tarot 650 and my flip FPV PRO which both flew very well, but none of them could take pictures or record movies with one click on my Ipad, none of them could fly over 3km's like the P3A does, and none of them could stay airborne for 20 mins ( Tarot with lower kv motor and larger props could but in a much larger format)</div>
<div>
So, today I have my P3A that I trust a lot when airborne and an Lumenier Qav R "race quad" for when I need to feel the thrill :)</div>
<div>
Now back to the original idea...The drone industry is a new realm that has an increasing cash turnover and here DJI reigns supreme...Gopro on the other hand is of course our favourite action cam (where the budget allows it ofc) and they also rule that market...So they thought to wait and see what are the best offers in the market (drones like the P4, Yuneek, a.s.o) and speculate the weaknesses in order to release their product at the right time.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, the Gopro Karma was announced on the 19-th of september and compared to the P4 it has foldable arms making it more portable, front mounted gimbal accomodating a gopro camera, a nice all in one remote including LCD and a nice handheld camera gimbal for the Gopro camera in the package. All this of course for an correct price including or excluding a Gopro hero 5 or Session 5.</div>
<div>
The hype was on, all the guys that recently bought Phantoms were looking at the new Karma that came in a smaller more portable form factor, unlike the P3/P4 that has fixed arms and landing gear.</div>
<div>
Now, to be honest, I really like my P3A and was not crying tears of despair for having it...at all...</div>
<div>
But GOPRO's joy didnt last long...I am sure that DJI who owns this market, doesnt like any real competition and their higher management team were pushing hard the Mavic project release earlier than scheduled, just to provide Gopro "la coupe de grace"...</div>
<div>
They did this by launching today the smallest and most portable drone in their portofolio: </div>
<div>
DJI MAVIC. This thing is kicking the Karma in terms of size/portability, flight time, the range of 7 km's !!!!!, sensors built in, flight modes / options and ways of controlling it (via controller or only smartphone) I think it's worth mentioning the fact that Dji for the first time are offering FPV goggles, allowing to fly the Mavic as a racing quad, which could mean that DJI wants to extend their operations also into the FPV goggles, where Fatshark is the leader? We'll have to see...time will tell</div>
<div>
What's more interesting to me is the "collateral damage" resulted from the launch of this new product that has similar or sometimes better characteristics than their hobby consumer top drone the P4. </div>
<div>
I think they realised that it is the only way to beat the Karma and they assumed the chance of doing so. Now, same like buying a new product, it is better not to jump on the first batch but wait for the first update, but that is only if you can hold you back not to buy it.</div>
<div>
So, what package do you Guys like the Gopro Karma or the new DJI Mavic?</div>

<br />
As you might know, I have amongst other quads a Flip Fpv Pro-G version, the G standing for gimbal.<br />
Since this is my main beater quad, I thought it deserves some better ESC's than the old(non SimonK) ones it had, so I got 4 from HK + the programmer for them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgHjerUcssceFD93TZkGxzLnu9ieCNO_86rQKxff9C0aSGujCT-MkxDrF4iV1ZNSUsvqrGFGmXzXhalf48ybc_NLzptOzuDb24kVeD_-1HUSqKrhgrd65nRKLQvLZFIwcUUuYdcJTllWs/s1600/afro30a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgHjerUcssceFD93TZkGxzLnu9ieCNO_86rQKxff9C0aSGujCT-MkxDrF4iV1ZNSUsvqrGFGmXzXhalf48ybc_NLzptOzuDb24kVeD_-1HUSqKrhgrd65nRKLQvLZFIwcUUuYdcJTllWs/s1600/afro30a.jpg" height="234" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Since the main benefit over the regular ESC's is the better refresh rate, meaning the commands from your flight controller will reach the motors faster and thus giving a more stable and "locked" feeling in flight, I was expecting to see a real improvement during testing.<br />
To be honest I was a bit disappointed since I could barely see a faster motor reaction compared to my old ESC's .<br />
Since these have the original SimonK firmware I assume they should work as advertised, do they?<br />
Below is the movie I made...please check it out and let me know if anyone else had a similar issue with their SimonK Afro ESCs? Some other movies that I have seen on youtube showed a better motors response than mines...<br />
I want to mention that my motors are Sunnysky X2212 / 980KV.<br />
Thanks a lot !<br />

I received some time ago a really nice looking and practical bag for carrying a T-REX 500 class heli. For the smaller helis up to 450, you can, let's say improvise using some other bags, but the 500 is already quite big, so in my point of view a decent bag is needed.<br />
This one I got from miracle-mart and is not the one in the picture on the link but is this one which looks like the Align bags.<br />
So far I had no issues, material is fine, zipper also feels well built...<br />
I also made a short review on the rcg forum, link <a href="http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2141102" target="_blank"><u><b>here</b></u></a><br />
And this is where you can get the product for only 13.5 USD !!!, link <a href="http://www.miracle-mart.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=80_294_303&products_id=7303" target="_blank"><u><b>here</b></u></a><br />
I attach below some more pictures that hopefully will make you decide on this bag: <u><b></b></u><br />

Hello again dear friends,<br />
Even tough I prefer the bigger, more stable quads and helis, Banggood.com offered to send me this tiny mini quad, offer which I couldn't refuse...I was curious about this, since it is almost as big as my Crius Aiop flight controller I use in another project, and I think it is amazing how small things got in this hobby.<br />
Please check below the youtube movie I uploaded and let me have your comments or questions...<br />
I guess a test flight video will follow, so stay tuned :)<br />

<br />
After having several quads and a hexa I thought the X5C will fill a gap in my line of toys, by being not too big but still quite stable and be able to take a movie also...<br />
And I was quite right...Bigger than my Ladybird, but smaller than my flip, the new Syma X5-C is a nice and an easy to learn on quadcopter...I would say that even if you start on quads, you can have a basic reading on the manual for the transmitter operation, and be able to take off and land safely... <br />
The quad is light at under 70 grams, it has a 6 axis gyro, meaning it can be hand thrown( I don"t recommend this) and the camera can be operated from the TX, cool huh? :)<br />
It also has led"s under the arms to help with orientation, but I would suggest swapping them instead of the defaults-orange in front and green in the back.<br />
<br />
Please use the below link to purchase it, it is from banggood, for which I would like to thank for providing this sample, and they send it with free shipping everywhere in the worls...<br />

I will upload later, a flight test and a camera footage since many people asked about these points...<br />
Fly safe...<br />

<br />
<span style="color: red;">I don"t like:</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">-battery compartment under camera</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">-flight commands with a tiny delay </span><br />

Even if this blog started as "RC HELI...." here I am lately posting about multirotors and today, surprise: and RC buggy...Bare with me on this one :)<br />
I guess all boys at a certain age dreamt of having an RC car at some times(and other things I will not mention here :)... Mine was a Peugeot 205 with the Ari Vatanen sticker on it, but that car wasn't meant to be mine back then...Many years later, here I am being the owner of an 1:18 scale buggy from www.banggood.com, for which I thank them...It's a 4WD buggy from WL TOYS called the A959.<br />
<br />

<br />
Funny thing is that for WL toys it all started a few years back with the V911, from which I also own one, and I guess with good management decisions they expanded into multirotors and now RC cars...I guess many of us were surprised when the L959 came. It looked like a real RC car that could wheelie on throttle, isnt't that something ? I looked at that but banggood (Sami at that time) suggested this smaller 4WD, and I liked the idea to be honest...<br />
Just a few hours ago, I filmed the unboxing but I could only play a bit in my apartment, but wow what an acceleration this beast has....AMAZINGGG, I cannot wait to go outside and see really how it performs...A piece of advice still: since this buggy uses a brushed motor, take it slow on the throttle, untill the motor's brushes settle in.<br />
The buggy has a claimed "maximum velocity " of 50 km/h (yes, you read correctly) and it uses a 2.4 Ghx tx/rx system. I like already the nice suspensions which are not too soft like the L959 seems to be, and the grip on the tires is also good.<br />
What I don't like is that in order to access the battery you have to open 2 metal pins to remove the canopy, install the battery, and later switch the buggy on, again from under the canopy.<br />
Not very convenient but maybe a cost saving idea for WL Toys?<br />
I want to end this post in a positive note and tell you that I am very excited about this buggy, and I hope it will be a nice and funny ride alltogether...<br />
<br />
Some dimensions and specs of the car:<br />
Vehicle size (LxWxH) = 245x175x94mm;<br />
Wheelbase 165mm<br />
Wheelspan 105mm<br />
Wheel diameter /width 61mm / 28mm<br />
TX battery 4xAA<br />
Car battery 2S (7.4V) / 1100mAh<br />
Motor 390<br />
Control distance 100 above is mentioned in the manual<br />
<br />
Please enjoy the unboxing video I uploaded, and I will upload another video (at least) showing you how the buggy actually goes, and more pictures, so please stay tuned...<br />
<br />
<br />
You can find this great product that banggood.com provided me, here:<br />

<br />
Below is the unboxing video from youtube :<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Update: 19.07.2014 I just managed to get my shaft a bit of off-set which rubs against the electronic parts. Guess it happened when my wheels were stuck and I pushed still on the throttle...<br />
<br />
I hope you find all the pictures you need below, pictures taken during transmission shaft dissasembling:<br />

I could have bought some cheap chinese clones but since I read many negative reviews, I decided to take "probably the best" prop balancer available.<br />
I can only confirm the quality is great so far, and the fact that bigger props like 10, 11, 12 inch can make a full turn for me it makes a big difference compare to the other "magnetic" or whatever balancers...<br />
I made a small "unboxing" basically showing all the bits and pieces that must be put together easily, and also showing the good manual showing you some tips for an effective balancing process.<br />
<br />
Highly reccommended !<br />

At the first moment I put the goggles on I was pleasantly impressed with
the image quality</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
they display from the small Fatshark CMOS camera
bundled in the kit. Just a very small blue-ish colour around the lcd’s
but barely noticeable</div>

and due to the optics getting the wider FOV.</div>

The Dominator goggles are supposed to have just a
bit clearer picture (never tried myself) but the FOV is smaller and the
IPD’s are not adjustable.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fortunately the goggles suit me just fine on the
largest IPD position, so definitely the Domi’s would have been no good
on my bigger head…</div>

A nice feature is that you can power the camera and
VTX from any li-po varying from 2S to 3S or 4S, since it has already in
the kit a filtered balance powered harness connector, so no more need
for additional battery…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Also, since I want the best range for this setup I
suggest the spironet polarized antennas, but I will test for range later
and update the info here…</div>

Hoped you find the info usefull and enjoy your version of the Attitudes V2 same as I did

Fly safe and take care !florinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10978101818701844792noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3161512810634466234.post-19076434083058689552014-01-05T23:25:00.000+09:002014-07-01T06:41:27.251+09:00Affordable hexacopter frame?Just finished shortly my new Flip FPV Pro build and I am already looking at the next build.<br />
Since quads are fun to fly in calm wind, I sometimes wish for a more stable platform that can handle stronger wind , fly smoother and be able to carry a brushless gimbal underneath withouth too much fuss.<br />
<br />
After a lot of searching I think I found just the hexacopter to fit the bill on the thanksbuyer website, the link is <b><a href="http://www.thanksbuyer.com/fy-650-650-x6-alumium-folding-hexacoptor-frame-fpv-quad-multi-copter-w-190mm-landing-skid-25538" target="_blank">here</a></b><br />

It costs 56.9 usd and looks nice for the price, it has folding arms, and better it comes with vibration dampening landing skid included in the kit(190mm tall).<br />
At the beginning I didn't know much about thanksbuyer, but after exchanging some mails with them they are nice guys and they answer all my questions within 24 hours in good english, and that is a good thing for a chinese based website...<br />
The motor to motor diameter is of 650 mm and according to their specs, you can fit propellers of 12, 13 or even 14 inches, of course using some lower KV motors from the 2212, 2216 and 2814 series.<br />
I personally "booked" some 850 kv motors running 1045 propellers, 30 A ESC's and the multiwii 2.5 standard edition flight controller...<br />
I already have a gimbal from my flip fpv pro gimbal version that I will fit to the hexa and the Flip I will use just for fun flying...Also I will fit on this hexa my Sony 600 TVL camera bundled with my 5.8 Ghz VTX to be able to get a bit more far away than just LOS flying.<br />
I hope I will make a good choice and the quality of this affordable hexacopter frame will be as good as it looks :)<br />
I will come back later with the build progress and a more detailed review of this hexacopter frame.<br />
Take care and fly safe...<br />
Update: 30.06.2014<br />
After other build projects and family projects also, finally the hexa is completed...Please check my youtube movies below, and also the build log from the <a href="http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2130786#post28791289" target="_blank">rcgroups forum</a>.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Hello again dear friends,<br />
Despite my initial plan to make a build breakdown for all the quad's systems, I will try to summarize it all in just this one post, since it was pretty straight forward to build and setup. Also since some subscribers from <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/MrCofl1001" target="_blank">my youtube channel</a> asked me for more pictures, I will post them also, below...<br />
And since some of you might ask why the {new "old" project} in the title the answer is that this kit is back in the original box it came in, and all the electronics were transferred into my new Hoverthings Flip Fpv - Pro quad, which is my latest project, details to follow in a later post...<br />

As conclusions, for the price of 29 usd, it's not bad at all and it can be used by any beginner...<br />
The arms are not as bad as many people complain, but I never had original DJI arms to compare against.<br />
Initially I used megapirate NG in my Crius Aiop V2 flight controller because it seem so cool to have waypoint navigation and the interface was nice...But I didnt like the way it flew and the countless hours I lost adjusting the PID values...Anyway, after transferring everything to my new Flip FPV I also tried Multiwii 2.3 and with stock PID's it flies better than any of my MPNG configurations, so I'm not looking back.<br />
I suggest you guys install multiwii straight on and save lost time and frustration, not to mention the direct bluetooth connection that works from your laptop, tablet or smartphone...wicked :)<br />
Again, please feel free to put any questions or share any ideas you had, and hopefully other newbies like I also was, will save time and find some usefull information here.<br />
Fly safe and enjoy the below movie:<br />

I want to introduce to you a good LCD monitor suitable for FPV according to the specs, provided by Banggood.com, which you can buy from <a href="http://www.banggood.com/FPV-5_8G-7-Inch-LED-Monitor-p-73435.html" target="_blank">here</a> .<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The nice thing for some of you is that this LED LCD monitor has already a 5.8 Ghz FPV receiver included, so, normally you just need a FPV transmitter in order to work. Of course you can input the signal from your normal FPV receiver since the monitor has a 2 channel input selection, channel 1 for the built in receiver and channel 2 for the cable audio in video. Also it comes with a small hood, which might not be enough in strong daylight, but only suffice at lower light.The image quality was good with enough brightness even at 50%, so I think the specified 450 cd/m2 is achieved.<br />
The specs are listed below and are according to banggood's information:<br />
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">Screen size: 7 inch<br />Screen type: TFT LCD Screen LED backlight<br />Resolution: 800 x 480<br />Brightness: 450cd/m2<br />Contrast: 500:1<br />View Angle: 140/120degree (Horizontal/Vertical)<br />Working Voltage: 11.1V Li-po battery<br />Power Consumption: < 6w<br />Size: 170 x 110x 40mm<br />Working temperature: -10℃~+ 65 ℃<br /><br /><b>Working Frequency:</b><br />CH1: 5705MHz<br />CH2: 5685MHz<br />CH3: 5665MHz<br />CH4: 5645MHz<br />CH5: 5885MHz<br />CH6: 5905MHz<br />CH7: 5925MHz<br />CH8: 5945MHz<br /><br /><b>Features:</b><br />Built-in 5.8Ghz receiver<br />RPSMA Antenna Connections<br />Built-in 1CH 5.8Ghz AV output and 1CH AV input<br />Support 9 languages menu selection</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">The only let's say not great things about this LCD is that the screen is a bit reflective and that the connectors are not as in the banggood's website, but as you can see it in my below video, so please consider this when preparing your connectors ahead. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px;">I will do a follow up video showing it "in action" since people already asked me about the blue screen and the recovery time from that...I can tell you already it will go blue screen on heavy interference(low signal) and will recover fast...</span></span><br />

<span style="color: lime;">What I liked:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: lime;">good price vs performance;</span></li>
<li><span style="color: lime;">good brightness</span></li>
<li><span style="color: lime;">good image quality</span></li>
<li><span style="color: lime;">FPV receiver included</span></li>
<li><span style="color: lime;">fast recovery after signal is lost </span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: red;">What I didn't liked:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: red;">connectors not like in the product images;</span></li>
<li><span style="color: red;">screen a bit reflexive</span></li>
</ul>

</h3>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Again,
I choose this design over the classic one, because of the versatility
of the TBS Discovery like frame… Assembling it was an easy task, but I
suggest to use blue Loctite for the screws if
you want to keep everything in place… You can see more in the pictures
below…Anyway, I think that it would be a good idea to prepare your
electronics aside the frame and plan on how to attach everything…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Also
before mounting the top plate of the frame, I suggest to put in the
flight controller, or at least to take a picture of all the connectors,
pins and wires going to the FC for later convenience…In the below shot, I just formally installed the motors to check if the supplied screws match and everything works fine, and it did :)</span></div>

In the below picture, I just used a piece of foam pad that I had sitting around from a tarot zyx controller, and I will fit it under the Crius AIOP v2 flight controller to damped any vibrations from the motors...If you used anything better please let me know by posting your comment...<br />
Currently my build is on hold since 3 out of 5 ESC's I ordered were dead on arrivel( 1 ordered extra just for this case)<br />

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Hello dear friends…</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">I don’t know if all rc heli fliers end up flying FPV multirotors or not, but it seems maybe as the next step in the hobby ?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Don’t
know the answer, but I know that since I assembled my 450 heli, I tried
to hang my smartphone to the landing skids and try filming the flight:)</span><span style="font-family: Wingdings;"></span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Later
on, after getting my Walkera Ladybird V.1, I was surprised on how easy
an indoor hover is compared to a 6 channel genius cp, which is anyway a very
stable and smooth heli…I think that then, I had the “click” and decided
on building a new quadcopter, a 450 size one, against my wife’s
opposition</span><span style="font-family: Wingdings;"></span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">If
you are into the quadcopters (or multirotors) already, maybe this info
is not useful for you, but if you’re a newbie like me, figuring out all
the pieces</span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"> of this puzzle, then I hope that this info is useful to you…</span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">So, it should all start, like any other project with your requirements:
<u>what should your new multirotor do</u>? (quadcopter in my case?)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">If you need a heavy lift platform to carry a heavy D-slr camera, then a hexa(6) or even a octo(8) platform is needed.</span></div>

my case a 4 motors(quadcopter) will fit my bill, and if needed able to
carry a small camera for DVR purposes(maybe the 808 #16 V2), but also
not be very expensive to repair a crash.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">There
are many quad frames from more or less famous brands, but I choose the
HJ 450 alien or locust/flycat/alien or whatever name it might have
frame. What’s special about it is that is not symmetrical
like the typical 450 frame, but it’s longer and can fit a camera gimbal
in the front and the battery on the back to compensate for the weight.
Also the front arms are
spaced, so that the front blades don’t show up in the field of the
camera. I also liked that it has a lot of fixing points and gives you more options to install later add-ons.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Moving
on, the main component or the “heart” of the quad is the FC or flight
controller. Again, based on your target budget you can choose several
types, but the most popular one’s in terms of software
used would be the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/multiwii/" target="_blank">MultiWii</a> and the
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/megapirateng/" target="_blank">Megapirate</a>
versions. You can search more about each one of these great open source
projects in the links. Considering the price vs. features, my choise
was the Crius AIOP(All In One Pro) V2.0 flight controller
from the RCtimer site. It has all the nice features that more expensive
FC’s have but comes to a under 60 usd price tag. Together with it I
ordered the N-06 V2.0 GPS module and the FC Bluetooth module for
Android.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Since
the FC is quite sensitive to powering voltage, I choose to use an UBEC
that provides a 5V with maximum 3A current only for the board.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">I also have FPV equipment, 5.8Ghz tx/rx, and a SONY 600 VTL cam.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">Anyway
I will add the FPV stuff only after setting up the quad fully, and
getting used to it, since now I can practice only with my Ladybird V1
micro quad…</span></div>

I didn't planned to write these lines now, but I read about a tragedy that happened this week, on Thursday, when a fellow RC pilot, named Roman Pirozek Jr. was killed by his own Rc helicopter during a flight in a public park in New York city(Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn)...I was thinking maybe daily about what could happen during flying, and this thought is hiding all the time in the back of my mind, troubling me...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
My honest and sincere condoleances to the mourning family, and as a parent myself, I can't think of something worse on this world than seeing your child die before your eyes...But now, even if maybe some of you will argue about this and disagree, I would not fly anything bigger than a 450 class in a public park, assuming there are no people nearby...Bigger birds( and I assume he flew one) should not be flown in other places that flying fields, to minimize the risks on public...Just imagine that the heli could have fallen on someone just having a walk with his family in the park...This thought is just real...Again, these things are NOT TOYS...They can be deadly...To be honest, I think also a 450 size heli carbon blade at 100% RPM could easily cut your throat open, leading to certain death...<br />
So, just hoping that the following compilation of personal safety rules could help avoiding a tragedy or any type of rc heli accident, I will just lie down a summary of the rules I use when flying my helis:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Always connect transmitter first and helicopter second;</li>
<li>Always, I mean ALWAYS, use Throttle Hold(TH) whenever you don't plan to take off, but the battery has to be plugged in;</li>
<li>Always hit TH and then remove the battery no matter what;</li>
<li>If you loose the heli and there's no way to recover, hit TH ASAP;</li>
<li>If you fly a flybarless heli, always tilt the heli and check for the FBL compensations before taking off;</li>
<li>Always land ASAP if you see or feel something is "not right" or you hear any strange noise;</li>
<li>Regularly maintain your heli, and lubricate whatever needs that to be done;</li>
<li>Don't fly the heli over your head, you could loose orientation easily;</li>
<li>Don't fly when you are too tired, you need to be very focused when flying;</li>
<li>Don't fly when you have any alcohol in your blood, again focus is key when flying;</li>
<li>Always try to have someone with you(behind you) in case something bad happens he/she can call for help asap;</li>
<li>Don't fly when friends are around, you could push your limits "to impress" and you can make mistakes;</li>
<li>Don't push your limits when flying, take normal steps and only when you master it, move on;</li>
<li>Always take your time to check the sequence of steps before a flight, sometimes you're rushed to see the heli in the air and forget important things;</li>
<li>Maybe the most important rule of all : NEVER FLY OVER PEOPLE or near them....</li>
</ol>
I am sure some of you have their own lists, and you are welcome to share them here via the comments section...<br />
We all enjoy flying and sometimes just disregard the risks we take, and unfortunately people need to die so that we open our eyes and realize that this hobby is fun but can be also deadly...<br />
Please be responsible and please consider the safety of other people nearby and yourself also...<br />
<br />
Life can be beautiful...Let's not waste it...<br />

Rest in peace Roman Pirozek Jr. and let's try and stop this count by being more responsible<br />

Hello,</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Like many of you, I was looking to get a camera for
my FPV quadcopter, and based on too many good reviews to ignore, I
decided to go with the Sony 600 TVL.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Camera with additional metal case, PCB OSD and OSD manual</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The camera comes like you can see in the below
unboxing video with the separated OSD PCB board and you can connect it
when needed, adjust whatever settings you need, and then simply unplug.
Since currently I live in S. Korea, the seller
automatically choose the NTSC camera, but after contacting them, they
sent another PAL camera that I will need back home in Europe.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Another “good thing” that came out of this wrong
spec camera being sent to me is that I got the first camera with the
2.8 mm lens, and for the second one I choose the 3.6mm lens, so after I
will set it up, I will have two lens to choose
from.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My camera comes with the metal case, already mounted, and since the PCB is not so crash resistant, I suggest getting it also…</div>
Please check below the unboxing movie, and I will come back with more details during my quadcopter build.<br />
<br />
Here is the unboxing and short presentation of the camera:<br />

Since I really like my little flying tank, I thought of an small up-grade...Since the plastic stock swashplate developed quite a big slop, I considered a metal up-grade version from X-treme Production...I put some pictures of both old and new, and by flying a bit with the new swash, I feel the heli reacting a bit faster and feeling a bit more "locked" in...You can find the part on miracle mart website that sent it to me for a small review, <a href="http://www.miracle-mart.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=110_265_809&zenid=e0637bb4fa714a6ef7e0da375ea7f71b" target="_blank">here</a>. I think a more interesting up-grade, would be their combo that they also sell, but at the time of this post, it was out of stock, <a href="http://www.miracle-mart.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=110_265_809&products_id=10124" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

Now, hopefully my budget will allow for the addition of more metal parts in my Master CP, and later on I will have to see how the metal absorbs shocks in the eventuality of harder touchdowns compared to the stock plastic...<br />
But you can't have it all, can you ? :)<br />
What up-grades do you guys have on your Master CP's ?<br />
Let's share this info, and maybe consider these also...<br />
Take care and happy flying :)florinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10978101818701844792noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3161512810634466234.post-31834498552682495562013-07-03T00:07:00.002+09:002013-07-03T00:13:36.107+09:00My new Walkera Ladybird quad<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Hmmm, why would I need a micro quad? I asked myself not long time ago…</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The obvious answer was: I don’t need one, especially this small, right ?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Actually since my Devo 10 tx passed away with no reason, I was looking for a new TX, but then</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">a Devo10 deal bundled with the Ladybird caught my eye on RC711.com.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I only fly helis, so getting this quad should be an interesting experience…</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">So, I started reading about the ladybirds or ladybugs on the net, and I realized there are two versions of it…</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">-version 1, which is the one I got is the original bug with telemetry 6 axis gyro and up-gradable firmware;</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">-version 2, is the cheaper one with 3 axis, no telemetry and no up-gradable firmware.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I
guess Walkera released V2 as a response to the huge number of Chinese
ladybird clones starting to pop-up in the market and their
main goal was price reduction in order to re-gain the lost territory.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">What can I say about the Ladybird ?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I
was surprised how stable my Genius Cp V2 was, but the bug is even more
stable and unlike helis, you don’t need constant aileron/elevator
correction to keep it leveled, this thing just hovers nicely…</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Of course, you could use it to improve your orientations on your helis, but orientations only, since flying is totally different
and I think the learning from quads cannot really be implemented on helis, as per se.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Since
I already have some batts for my GCPV2 I am able to use it on the bug
and reduce the downtime needed for recharging. I want
to suggest you should leave it a couple of minutes between batteries to
cool off the motors, since this was probably the reason my GCPV2 motor
passed out. This is the bad thing about brushed motors, but I guess it
was the only way to keep it simple.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<br />
I am sure there are about a ton of different variations to having a GCP converted to brushless motor, but I choose mine, and I want to share it with you guys, so maybe you go my way and find it easier to get the needed items for the conversion.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8U_bYQUMfNZ1o0ZOeYERSKXkqO6_QS0Z9ViI__Nj6AOvUXB5XsSLCg4bOKSSbOWSdI7BQhpnYMCdZSpnqbZgnM50KqMac7V5oz0IwqucdMSQXk3HuNPmqIasGAWsfzVMsVWURs_sUkJw/s1600/DSC03272.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8U_bYQUMfNZ1o0ZOeYERSKXkqO6_QS0Z9ViI__Nj6AOvUXB5XsSLCg4bOKSSbOWSdI7BQhpnYMCdZSpnqbZgnM50KqMac7V5oz0IwqucdMSQXk3HuNPmqIasGAWsfzVMsVWURs_sUkJw/s400/DSC03272.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The 3 pin connectors, the motor screws, the 7A Airbase Esc+converter and the C05 motor+8T pinion</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
Despite the fact that this conversion is apparently something complicated to do, I can say it was really easy as long as you know what you need and how these things work.<br />
Now let's look at the "ingredients" needed:<br />
<ul>
<li>C05 brushless motor - comes in different KV ratings and pinion sizes, personally I chose the one I found at <a href="http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=10578" target="_blank">hobbyking </a>despite other more expensive deals already had terminals soldered onto them;</li>
<li>The Airbase 7A ESC and brushless converter - this device has a double role of speed controller and brushed to brushless signal converter and I bought it from Miracle-mart, but at the time of this post, the only version on their website is the most expensive 10A version, link <a href="http://www.miracle-mart.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=83_830_167&products_id=8563" target="_blank">here</a></li>
<li>6 pin micro plug - you need this to connect the ESC with the C05 motor, I got this from <a href="http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=15424" target="_blank">hobbyking </a>also</li>
<li>Heat shrink tube(2mm) you will need this for the connections to the motor, link <a href="http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=5205" target="_blank">here</a></li>
<li>Pinion - for better flight time, you can use the 8T pinion, for higher headspeed you can go 9T, anyway this is what I used, again from <a href="http://www.miracle-mart.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=83_216&products_id=8313" target="_blank">Miracle-Mart</a>, a 1.5mm 0.5M</li>
</ul>
Now, assuming you got all the above in front of you, you should prepare the soldering iron or gun and after inserting hss of suitablle length on each motor wire you must proceed in soldering them to the 6 pin connectors. In order to get the right motor direction I tested the rotation direction before soldering and swapped if needed...After this step you will have the motor with soldered connector like below.<br />

</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The problem I had was that the pin spacing on the motor connector didn't match the spacing on the ESC combo perfectly, so I just helped it by hand to settle in the right way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For the pinion, I just add a bit of blue loctite and it sits there very nice, no more worries about it... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Next things is to fix the motor, and make sure you dont' put it very tight against the pinion, otherwise it will wear the teeth faster and the battery life will decrease. After you do this step also, you should find a place where the ESC combo should sit on the RX mainboard, without damaging any connections, some people use a bit of velcro to secure it in position, but I leave that to you guys...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Now in order to connect the ESC combo, you should do the following:</div>
<ul>
<li>the two wires on the motor's side must be connected to the battery(red (+) black(-));</li>
<li>the original board's power supply connection(to battery) will be connected to the opposite side of the motor's connection point(3 pins), and the remaining connector will go the the original's motor connection point.</li>
</ul>

<br />
All these being done, change your throttle curves for more headspeed, and fly...<br />
I got some 300mAh batteries that are designed for the solo pro but with my modded Solo Pro 180 landing skid, they can be used without any issues...<br />
The landing skid mod in a future post...<br />
Enjoy your new heli, and you will see it flies so much better with the new heart...<br />

<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">Hello dear friends,</span></span> <br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">Today, I want to tell you about my experience with the TH 9x 8 channel transmitter.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">It all started when I finally “compiled” my necessary “list of materials” to build my first proper 450 size heli, </span></span><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">with carbon fiber frame, unlike my plastic Esky Belt CPX. On top of many components, it was the well priced TH9X transmitter </span></span><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">and to go along I got a 6 and 8 channel receivers also. First impression when I opened the box was of cheap plastic.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">The display was not bad, and the sticks and switches had normal feeling, so nothing special here…The good thing about this TX </span></span><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">is that you can switch the RF module on the back, and unlike the Turnigy clone sold by HK, you don’t need to cut the antenna wire </span></span><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">and re-solder it…When I connected everything to the receiver, I got the bad news: meaning this cheap TX had some serious channel bleeding</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">like you can see in this movie I made for myrcmart, hoping they will replace my transmitter…which they didn’t do </span></span><span style="font-family: Wingdings;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Wingdings;">L</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">This exercise was a lesson learnt for me, and imagine when I did the first tests, I removed the blades (which I strongly </span></span><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">advise you also to do.) and I moved elevator right and my motor spooled up to maximum rpm…holy cow….that’s not something I would expect </span></span><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">from a new out of the box product…Unfortunately more tests I did, just confirmed it was some factory issue, and changing the gimbal would cost </span></span><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">alone about 25 USD…I was so disappointed, and set my build on hold…Even tough I did the movie explaining myrcmart(otherwise a good seller) </span></span><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">that it’s busted, they kept saying I just like to complain…</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">At this point I considered installing the smartieparts upgrade board ~25 usd and the extra backlight lcd from HK~5 usd, hoping that by flashing </span></span><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">the firmware to ER9x I could get rid of the problem; but adding 30 usd to the already payed 70 usd would make 100 USD for a product that I couldn’t </span></span><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">really trust anymore, and what happens when you fly an more or less expensive heli and you crash it to something or somebory because of faulty TX? </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">I didn’t want to take the chance, so I decided I go Walkera way, and I bought a Devo 10 bundled with the Master Cp heli and an additional RX-1002 </span></span><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">for my 450 project at a good price. The Devo 10 already has backlight LCD, and Usb connection for firmware upgrades, and on the TH9x I needed to buy extra components to have the same features..</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">As a bottom line: can I recommend the TH-9x? my answer is no way…I know some of you have good experience with this TX, but I read way too many people having issues with these, and especially considering that no matter how many heli’s or planes you have, you use the same tx, I think that buying something a bit better is the normal thing to do….I am personally happy on my choice, and I fly my Genius cp v2, my master CP and my RCX 450 FBL with the same Devo 10 TX…</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">I hope TH-9x might have improved since, and hopefully nobody will just throw off the window 70 USD like I did(btw, the TX is still in it’s original box and never touched it since)</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10pt;">I wish you good flying and be safe,</span></span><br />

Hello dear friends,<br />
I just found this as a very interesting "toy" and <a href="http://www.miracle-mart.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=66_165&products_id=10384" target="_blank">Miracle-mart</a> has it for sale now with 89 usd...<br />
I think that if you got this on the flying field you would make quite an impression to your rc hobby friends, but to any flying birds nearby...<br />
This bird comes equipped with 2.4 Ghz, with a theoretical range of 100 meters, and a flying weight of only ~ 9 grams !!! wow...that's a real light one. Also I think it's worth mentioning the patented systems that allow the simulation of real bird movements...<br />
So, despite never flying it myself, I think it looks more than interesting to all of us flyers, to be able and actually fly something that really looks like a bird, and doesn't have blades or propellers.<br />
Enjoy<br />

<br />
Hello again my friends<br />
I was looking for a cheap digital pitch gauge to use on my 450 flybarless heli, and since the Align AP800 costs around 35 USD, I decided I would try the Tarot (clone) that I found on <a href="http://www.miracle-mart.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=83_84_168&products_id=9667" target="_blank">miracle-mart.com</a> for 16 USD...<br />
The gauge has backlight LCD, meaning you can use it in pitch black darkness(not really seeing the point of doing that, but you can :), It had already batteries inside, which these days is a rare commodity, it's detachable, so you can attach the lower part seen above to your blade, and then connect by pushing in place the electronic part which has autorotation function, meaning even if you hold it upside-down it will rotate the angle reading 180 degrees for the reading...<br />
Important: you must tell it first the zero level...<br />
<br />
Some specs available: <br />
It can read up to approx 60 degrees pitch with 0.1 degree precision <br />
It works with 20 to 72 mm width blades<br />
It has 110x55x16 mm.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: lime;">What I liked:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: lime;">price</span></li>
<li><span style="color: lime;">batteries included</span></li>
<li><span style="color: lime;">backlight LCD</span></li>
<li><span style="color: lime;">simple to use</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: red;">What I disliked:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: red;">the quality of the plastic used </span></li>

Hello again dear friends...<br />
Since in this hobby every mistake costs money, pride and frustration, I am sure that like me, many of you consider using a simulator for practice and only later try flying on the real heli...<br />
Since I am always trying to find the best value for money I can tell you what I found regarding heli sims:<br />
<ul>
<li>RCheli sim free sim, good for learning orientations, but in my opinion the physics and graphic detail is not so good...still not bad for a free sim if you want to start;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>HeliX version 0.9, is the free version of the well known german sim which you can download <a href="http://www.heli-x.info/download.php?id=1" target="_blank">here</a>, the official version is 4.2, and I can say I like this free sim a lot, the physics and graphics are much improved, but of course the full version 4.2 which is about 60 euro has many extra features...I can recommend the 0.9 if you want a good free heli simulator, and additionally you can find some extra heli models on some rc forums;</li>
<li>Clearview SE, this time by releasing this version, they give you the free sim but you must pay for the models you purchase...In my case I bought a set of 1 terrain and 4 helis for 2 usd each, total of 10 usd, and saved the rest up to 49 usd if I remember correctly. The graphics is acceptable, but the physics is not close to real.. For example T-rex450 helis spin with maybe 5 or 6 full 360 degrees in one second and this is far from real...The only model that was closer to reality in terms of handling was the TREX700...Of course that you can fine tune the models but is in a more difficult manner by editing some parameters which you don't really understand what they do...anyway in my opinion if you buy something it should work right away...so as a bottom line I think the Heli-x v.0.9 is better here...</li>
</ul>
And finally I decided enough frustration caused by bad physics, small number of helis and airfields to try on...I decided to buy a real sim, and I choose the Phoenix v.4 sim which is known for good heli physics, good graphics and maybe most important free future up-grades...preety cool, huh? The main competitor is the Real Flight but on this one, just understanding which version you must buy and which add-on version it works with, caused me a headache :)<br />
The content is simple and it has a short installation guide, the version 4 DVD and most important the bundle cable, which is mainly the "key" to protect their sim against copying it...<br />
The installation is simple, after that make sure the usb bundle is connected and the TX is on and you will be prompted for setup and calibration..After this is done, you can edit dual rates and other adjustments you need.<br />
Just a tip: since I have a Walkera devo10 and the Phoenix comes with stereo 3.5mm Jack, but the walkera needs a mono jack, I just plugged in my universal sim cable in the tx, turn on the TX which thinks now it's in trainer mode, and replace the universal stereo jack with the phoenix mono jack with the TX on, and it works...I still plan to buy a normal stereo to mono converter but just want to let you know it can work like this also...<br />
After I am more used to it, I might come back with a review of the sim's menu, settings, and so on...<br />

<span style="color: red;">Dislikes:</span><br />
<span style="color: red;">-considering the usb bundle is the hardware key to using the sim, the exit points of the electronic box is not perfectly tight, so I suggest putting some heat sleeve to ensure a long life of the assembly;</span><br />

Hello again,<br />
This time, I want to share with you a small review of the 9imod Alu box for the Walkera Master CP and other similar sized helis.<br />
First of all, I can say the quality is good, no rattling or other unwanted noises, only the keys are more just to show that work. The inside padding is also ok, and as you can see from the below pictures I had nothing to complain so far. Actually there's nothing fancy to expect, it's just a box, right?:)<br />
Actually the spec is that it can accomodate the Master CP and any Devo compatible Tx, but I can say that you need to cut off quite a few of the padding inside the upper layer. Even like this, I really don't like that the blade of the heli is touching and putting a bit of pressure against the transmitter's antenna !....that's not good at all...Unfortunately you can't do anything to fix this, just hope that you will not drop hard the case or get a strong shock that could damage your TX(in my case a Devo 10)...<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Hello again.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I bet you searched this post because you are tired of waiting x minutes multiplied with the number of batteries you have…fair enough...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Same was in my case. So, let’s talk about parallel li-po charging.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">First you must understand that a li-po is basically a 3.7 V nominal voltage cell, so if you have a 3 cell li-po it is 3.7Vx3cells.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The fully charged voltage, is of 4.2 V per cell, so a total of 12.6 V. The lithium –polymer(li-po) batteries can be hooked in serial or parallel<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>configuration (for example S or P, like 3SP1 which is same as 3S)but this is something already inside the battery, so it’s just a coding for understanding it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Normally since the li-po batteries don’t like to be left depleted it is strongly suggested not to drain more than 3.8 Volts from each cell, otherwise in time they will not last long. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now, to the real thing: you must understand that you are responsible if something goes wrong, and I am not to be held liable for anything related to your parallel charging…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">From my experience I can tell you that if you use different charged level batteries, you can have problems, personally my balanced connector melted on a small 1050 mAh battery !<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">so be carefull to put only same battery type and same charge state battery(not fully depleted and fully charged together).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">First of all you need a good balancing charger and a good power supply, and additionally you need a balancing charger board, personally mine can charge up to 6 packs.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Since you will charge in parallel, you must keep in mind that by doing this the voltage stays the same, but the Amp power(capacity) is added for each battery you want to charge.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For example: I want to charge 3 x 2200 mAh batteries….first I check the voltage to be similar, but since I fly my 450 heli and land when the timer shows 5 minutes, they should be very<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>similar in voltage….Then I usually connect the power plug and balance plug for each battery, and when all are connected, I plug the balancing board power socket to my charger, and lastly<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>I plug the balancing connector to the charger. With all this in place I check again the wires and charging board for abnormally hot areas<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>and only if all is ok, I connect the power supply<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>to the charger. Next, I select Li-po from the menu, 11.1V and this is important, you must select the charging current as the sum of all the cells you charge, in my case 2200+2200+2200=6.6A<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>for 1C rate. If you have really strong supply and charger, you can charge your batts at 2C capacity, meaning 13.2A, but I don’t recommend this unless your parallel charging board is really<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>top quality, otherwise you might burn it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So, another quick example: I want to charge my Master CP batts, which are 3s at 1050 mAh. After carefully connecting them on my parallel charging board, I select Li-po, with 11.1 V<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>and charging current will be 1050+1050+1050 which is 3150 for a 1 C charge rate. Usually I choose 3.2A. simple, right?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Just in case you didn’t know, each Li-Po battery has a supplier recommended charge rate, and for 1C it is the battery’s capacity, for 3 C is 3 times capacity(2200 with 3C, allows me to safely charge it at 3x2200=6.6A). If you have no specification on yours just play safe and char<span style="font-size: small;">g</span>e it at 1C, meaning charging current should equal you battery capacity.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Also the batteries have a discharge rate C value, usually between 10c to 60 C with 5 units increase. The highest the C value the more current it can give and the faster it can be depleted.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For example if you have a 10C battery and you need 20C in your heli setup, the battery will get extremely hot and possibly after doing this one time, you can throw it out the bin.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Usually for a 450 size heli it’s recommended to have a minimum 20 C battery, and if you plan really hard 3D with it, you should consider a 30 or 35 C pack.</span></span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="Section1" style="layout-grid: 18.0pt;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Yes, finally a review about one of my favorite helis…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Actually, all I wanted was a decent transmitter for a 450 build project, and since I got a good deal<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>with the Master CP, I bit the bullet and got my Devo10 bundled with a Master CP…I am happy I did so…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So, there are thons of infos on the Master CP, and I think it had great success so far, what else can be said?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For a start, if you are used with a 4 channel heli, or you want to start directly with the 6 channel helis, and don’t have budget for a smaller heli like Mini CP or Genius CP, then, yes, the Master CP is the way to go…It is a 250 size heli, with brushed motors(main and tail), and has a 6 axis gyro system. I’ve seen moviesself leveling, but mine doesn’t do this much, what it does on the other hand is it hovers very easy and stable.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Sometimes it is so easy, that I’m wondering if I actually learn anything by flying it, that I can use on my 450 helis...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I want to say that it is build to last: starting from the tough landing skids, strong tail boom, strong main blades-reinforced with carbon fiber, and ending with the flexible tail blade and flexible canopy, it’s all there. But since it is made so strong to handle crashes during learning, it adds also a bit on the weight side, making it less agile than a TREX-250 for example. But I would say this difference is visible only in 3D flight, normal hovering and circuits flight, they would be the same. I know many of you would say<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">that the comparison is wrong, because the 250 rex has a brushless motor and belt tail, but I just wanted to compare it with a similar class size heli…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Despite many owners consider a brushless up-grade, I don’t think this is necessary, since the motor is used on a 400 size walkera and it delivers enough power, without being too hot. The tail motor wears out normally faster, but walkera designed a simple replacement system, that doesn’t require any soldering, it’s just simple to replace the tail motor. Regarding tail authority, the tail holds well, but obviously<span style="font-size: small;"> </span>you cannot compare with a tail or torque driven tail. I can remember that since I was used to my little V911, I got it home, and I spool it in my living (don’t do this because this is not suitable for indoor) and the tail didn’t spin? Of course that I didn’t took off knowing what no tail would mean in the air !<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Later I found out that in the case of the Master CP, this behavior is normal, and it only spins in the air…so if you have similar issue, well it’s not an issue really…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Getting to the battery: I got mine without any branding on it, just plain black, so I doubt it’s a Walkera original battery, this battery has maybe 10 flights only and cannot keep the heli in the air for more than 30 seconds, even tough the voltage is enough…<span style="font-size: small;">l</span>uckily, and I recommend you this, I bought some Zippy Rhino 1050mAh li-po packs that fly and hold really well….good investment for this heli…after 5 minutes of flying you still have 3.88-3.90V in them…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
