Hey guys, maidened the hexa today. Didn't go well. The hexa was drawing way too much current. 30A @ half throttle. The independent lipo voltage alarm was going off as well. I've since checked the lipo it read 16v and 75% capacity! I was in the air less than a minute. I'm running stock dji...

Hey guys, maidened the hexa today. Didn't go well. The hexa was drawing way too much current. 30A @ half throttle. The independent lipo voltage alarm was going off as well. I've since checked the lipo it read 16v and 75% capacity! I'm running stock dji motors, esc's, 8" props and 4S lipo. The...

Ok buddy. The glider is awesome! Had loads of fun with it!

It only started becoming noticeable when I started using 10" props.... with 4S lipos. If I switched over to 3S it would have to be 2x 3300mah which is very heavy. The alternative is to switch back to 8" I guess, but how much lift would I lose?

Hi Steve, its good to see you still on here. Well for a starting point I thought it would be ok. I was wanting the Go Pro off the main body of the airframe. Im not expecting miracles, but its gotta be better than what I had surely. How have you been? Im mostly on FPVhub these days. Quite a lot...

Ok, its been a fair while since Ive been on here. Im in the process of upgrading my F450 to a F550 Ive purchased the AeroXcraft landing gear and Go Pro Tilt and Roll Gimbal. Which you can see here:- http://www.aeroxcraft.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13&products_id=20 and here:-...

Aye up Dave, unfortunately not Ive just gone back to work, managed to get xmas and new year off though... just. Managed to get a few flights in whilst I was off which was great, although would have liked more, blummin British winter!!! Back home in February so will put some hours in then all...

I think youve answered your own question there Richard! :-) I was faced with a similar dilemma when I was looking to buy and decided to save a bit longer and buy quality rather than be stung later on with cheaper equipment. I second Daves quadcopters recommendation, they are very good, even if...

What camera mount do you have there? Id be very interested in going upto a F550 if I could mount my Nex5 onto it.

No, once it's found the satellites it's locked in and doesn't have to rescan if you change to atti or manual and back to GPS. You just have to remember to give it time to lock into the satellites when you start your system in GPS mode. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Heres my wintery flight yesterday, my first on 10" props, the Go-Pro didnt like it, so it looks like Im going to have to do some Prop and motor balancing and vibration counter measures. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxEumCAQydU Rich

Here's the vid of said disagreement with a tree, mentioned above. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxwRoUZKtXo&sns=em Please excuse all the graphics etc, I'm trying to get to grips with Final Cut Pro :-) any advice welcome.

Yep, thanks for that guys. I was a bit more patient today and all was well after I let all of the satellites kick in and the GPS lock on. Well, I should say all was well until I crashed into a well disguised tree. No damage done though.

This is my test flight today after repairing the quad after the nasty crash I had in November. Theres something not right with it, but Im not sure what. It yaws to port (left) slightly and drifts to port and aft quite drastically. Once all the GPS satellites had kicked in I think it seemed to...

Well, after way too much time away from home, I'm finally back and the quad has been repaired, I think. 1x arm, 1x esc, 1x motor, 1x 8" prop and 1x TeamFTP leg and some careful testing in the Naza Assistant and I think I'm ready to go. I just need to refit the Go-Pro and wait for some good...

Welcome to the Forum Rammylad. Its an excellent forum where there is plenty of excellent advice and help available. Try not to get too bogged down with the technicalities at first, start off simple and straight forward before diving into something more complex. You can get into quads and multis...

At this moment in time 4 channels are being used for flight controls and I have the Failsafe set 1 switch, GPS/Atti/Man to another switch and IOS set to another switch. Im guess that is 7 channels? As far as I am aware the receiver is 14 channels if used in S-Bus mode.

The TBS wins hands down!!! I know quite a few people that have them and theres a lot of people on here and they all love it!! If you go for the TBS make sure you get the core too!

Hey guys, I have a querie. Is it possible or recommended to use the servo channels 1 to 7 of the Futaba R6208SB when you are using the S-Bus to connect to your Naza? All flight controls at this moment in time are being run through the S-bus so I have just 1 cable connecting the receiver and...

Its certainly and interesting idea though!! Might just have to give that a bit of thought and maybe knock one up myself!
