I am going to hack another module into the Devo7e running the DeviationX firmware. This nRF24L01 module will allows me to run WLToys new protocol, HiSky and a host of others. It has the PowerAmp circuit for longest range. See this protocols spreadsheet for more info.Here's the schematic:And here is ...

Someone on RCG wanted photos of the two 80-class CP heli, so I took these quick photos for reference.In photography, the object closest to the lense generally looks larger. Despite that position, the photo of the HCP80 (aka FBL80) still shows that it's a slightly more compact heli overall. Both are ...

Just sharing a discharge curve I just grabbed while cycling the new Hyperion 550mAh and Glacier 600mAh cells. Interesting result.I'll discharge at 2A to 3.7v at a later time to see how well the cells really stack up.Preliminary results. ...

Helifreak user Ian99 made available a beautifully rendition of the Mikado Logo XXtreme. His interpretation into a paper model looks great. I wanted a different color scheme and wanted to be able to use my Silhouette SD machine to cut it out for me...so I vectorized it.Here's the first draft of the r ...

To help those of you hacking the FF120/mQBot Micro flight controller, here are some photos.You can see some pads underneath.Here's the transceiver used. Clearly seen with the shield taken off. I foolishly attempted to desolder the shield. Then I saw that the shield can actually just pop off. Very ni ...

The Walkera Devo 7e is a good compact transmitter. Install the Deviation firmware, and you have an unbeatable transmitter that supports many protocols. The one wishlist item that owners have is that the TX can be use for longer range flying. Fortunately, the gurus hacking on the Devo 7e found that b ...

Yes! Just received my Walkera Devo 7e from BangGood. I was surprise to see it arrive in only 14 days all the way from China. I have been wanting to try DeviationX out for a long time. With the release of DeviationX 3.0 and support for WLtoys v929, v949 and v959 triggerable accessories, not to mentio ...

I took the v922 out for a hike and photoshoot the other day. Of course, the morning I have time to have this little adventure and bonding time with the little heli, mother nature decided to drizzle and overcast the skies thwart my use of the typically beautiful morning sunlight. And the wind didn't ...

Just got delivery of the WLtoys v922. It's a Blade mCPX style CP heli and it flies well. Giving it a once over, it's well made and the PCB and servos are better manufacture than the Blade mCPX. Shiny solder joints with just the right amount of solder.I like that the status LED is right in the middle ...

Lately, there's been a number of threads created where Nano CP X owners who have installed a brushless motor on their heli, have learn that upgrading to a thicker gauge wire improved performance noticeably. There is a noticeable increase in pop acceleration and less to no bogging.I wonder how much o ...
