TBS DISCOVERY - New quadrocopter frame

[ramboky]

Got it. Thanks. Holy crap those things are expensive! $85 for a gel pad?

I'm planning on trying these Align Gyro Gel Pads unless someone has already? They're around $10.

[Enthlapy]

Don think it will work, this quad suffers from lower freq vibes than whatthose gels are made for, but i maybe wrong.



I got some new motors to test on Discovery. So far looks promising, will reportafter weekend full blown tests (These will appeal to us Froogle shoppers)

Enthlapy, the green one is made for the lower vibes. We had a sales rep there calculate it. The blue one isn't working. Keep us posted on the motors !

yeah it's high tech stuff. like I said, if you're after vibe-free 720p stuff all you need is balanced props and a bit of foam from the household. Rensen even had luck with just double-sided tape. If you want full-blown vibration-free image in any flight situation, you'll need some of the high tech aquagel stuff.

Trappy Is it possible to get a shot of the Green vibration gel ?

I ordered a discovery frame and iam going to use Avroto motors on it.

[Trappy]

here you go. quick & dirty as always, used in the TBS DISCOVERY video so it works as advertised.

I really look forward to step up my game in FPV

Here is my last movie, tricopter with a KK kontroller,

just be careful, I stepped up my FPV quad game a little too fast yesterday. Completely confused the Naza trying to be like Juz until it said "**** you, trappy, get OpenPilot" and decided to nosedive into a forest from 1000+ meters AGL. 30+ seconds of free fall. I'm going to look for it on Friday, very interesting to see how a 1000m drop translates to damage on the frame. Right now it's raining like crazy up there, too dangerous for a recovery.

Will look at the video once I get off work

nice gel pad, i'll have to get one of them

Trappy, did ya see naza is suppose to enable a ppm input soon? Will it change anything on how we wire it up other than just use the one signal wire?

NAZA has some quirks, some are worse than others. When is cc3d suppose to be available?

[Trappy]

ppm will only simpify the wiring. hoping they get that done soon, we're having some custom cables made in the meantime. soldering the RX to the board directly is not good, it kills the receiver on a hard crash.

no idea when CC3D is supposed to be available. I know I'm going to kill for one very soon, so better not disclose if you have one
