It still seems there is a severe lack of 10" Graupner electro props in the UK. Even on the German Graupner website, they are out of stock. I found my way over to 4-max and spoke to George who has some 9x6" thin electric counter rotating APCE props. I received them today and tried them on the...

I need a few more 4C lipos for a good price. I normally buy Turnigy's from hobbyking but time is of the essence as I have a job coming up. Any suggestions? Thanks, Gunter.

A pano of Discovery's flight deck...not sure how it was done! http://360vr.com/2011/06/22-discovery-flight-deck-opf_6236/index.html Gunter.

It's pretty cold in the UK at the moment, last night was the coldest of the winter so far. I decided to go for a fly and test out the new gopro II which arrived this morning (big smiles!!) So I went to a local quarry and did a couple of panoramas, a video and a few pics...here's one that makes...

I have just finished building a RTF FPV F450 Naza for a friend who wants to fly it up Monte Baldo, which is a large mountain next to Lake Garda in Italy...not sure how far he's going to get, but I'm sure he will have fun trying!

I have seen the question asked many times on here how to find the center of gravity on the WKM so I braved the winter weather and made a short video in the workshop on how I do it. There may be other ways, but this to me is the easiest and most accurate.

I have been trying to get this new gimbal working but with no luck! I have it hooked up to the WKM tilt and roll. When the heli tilts, the gimbal tilts, but totally randomly. I set the zero point, tilt the heli and then put it back on the table but the gimbal returns to a different position. No...

All, I am compiling a list of camera mounts and would appreciate it if you could let me know names and/or links to add to my list... I found the Photoshipone website and they seem to do some good mounts, obviously Highsight and Photohigher. Any other suggestions? Thanks! Gunter.

Me and a mate took the hexa out today to see what it did in high wind. One take-off was disastrous as the wind blew the heli over and it broke the camera gimbal! Have a look, it's a bit long winded (pardon the pun) but you can see how it is battered by the wind...have a look from about 10:15...

After a few enquiries about surveys, I thought I would give aerial panoramas a try. Yesterdays weather was perfect, so set the gopro to shoot every 10 seconds and got the hexa up to 40-50 metres. The sun was a bit low but I think for a first stab it works okay. I stitched it all together in...

The weather was lovely today, so I took the hexa out with the old GoPro attached...

Have a look at their panoramas and photographs, absolutely outstanding! http://www.airpano.com/?set_language=2

I have tried for the last few days to get this Naza flying but it's really unstable. It's seems more unstable when I use a higher mah lipo. I'm about to send it back to Geoff to swap the Naza controller to see if that could be the problem, but I was thinking that the esc's may be incompatible...

Has anyone used the new waypoint system yet? I know it's probably pretty rock solid and works like a charm, but I just wanted to know if anyone had any experience with it. My partner and I have had a load of new enquiries for surveying building sites etc, one which is 500 acres...it's a bit...

Has anyone had experience with this camera? It seems to do very good HD video for the price and size. The colours in the video below are vibrant and the quality is brilliant. I understand that it's probably not for high end users, but for me it looks perfect. Sample video:

I headed out to do a test video of the home lock function. It works a treat. One thing I noticed is that when I flicked over to "go home" at the end, it just stayed where it was and didn't do its usual failsafe. I will go out at try it again tomorrow, but I'm sure it is all set up okay, so...

Just starting the FPV build tonight. Things are a bit tight, but I think it will all fit! Regards, Gunter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In a recent shopping spree I noticed a transmitter which stood out. I mostly like it because it is yellow, but the other reason is because of the ease that you can connect telemetry modules to the heli which you can monitor on the transmitter. You can choose exactly which sensors you want to...

I'm looking for some Graupner 10x5 thin props but the only place I can find in the UK - Electricwingman - is sold out! Any other suggestions? (I have emailed and asked when they will be back in stock, but the message on their website says they are on hols until the 3rd) Thanks. Gunter.
