Horses for courses Bensid, heli's are really quite simple and parts fairly cheap, for say a 450. and its all done with just one motor and ESC. my views are biased though.

Good effort Shills, incidently, you could actually have achieved the same with CPM heli's using Naza H, flymentor or copilot 2 or such like.

WTF...ROFL etc

I have it connected to a VTx so frame shots with a 7" monitor mounted on my Tx. One down side here is that the USB is common to AV out and remote control so its one or the other unless you can wire up a fully populated canon style USB lead. I get round it by using a mechanical focus/shutter...

This is direct from art 166 of ANO pertaining to small unmanned aircraft, I'm assuming its the same for both. certainly not condoning the practise though, especially in the light of the amount of recent flyaways.

Absolutely love it, cracking camera for just 10mp. This one from my last shoot, would almost match anything from my DSLR The S100 is by all accounts better, and not much over £200 in UK, could be a good replacement for your S90

I use my F450 to fly a Canon S95....still a fairly lightweight camera, I switch between a S95 on Xaircraft 2x gimbal for stills and a Gopro on a Brushless gimbal. need to throw together another F450 from bits I have lying about to avoid the hassle of reconfiguring.

So much ambiguity. even still, hear many reports of statements made by the CAA that contradict their documents. as I understand it there is still a sub 7kg distinction although the BNUC-S has blurred the lines by encompassing all into the sub 20kg certificate. for example you can legally fly a...

Basically GPS flight mode will provide position hold, ATTI will simply provide autolevelling and in the case of DJI controllers, Altitude hold. just be aware that when you initialize the FC will establish its home point at that location whether you are in GPS or ATTI mode so if you dont trust...

I believe that we have to always assume that MR's are inevitably going to fail and conduct our business accordingly. of course there are always methods of mitigating hazard if not risk, we can ensure redundancy in the case of a single ESC/Motor/Prop failure by using Octo's and perhaps Hexa's and...

Great thread Bart. thanks for taking the time to post this

You missed one in your 'Misc' section Dave! which surprises me considering where you been flying for last few months. - Midgey Spray...Check :)

What do you intend to run with the UBEC?

Awesome...floats me boat! Is that Arducopter 3.0 on APM2.5? or is it the latest APM? I have an APM2, sitting aside waiting for the right SR.

You still heading through to Moray? I'll be back mid afternoon, if your still around.
