    WKM flashing red led at start up??

    Thanks SleepyC, I think it may well have worked if I had had a chance to move the rig/recalibrate the compas but unfortunately it started to rain (not in the forecast, British weather you know!) but all worked just fine back at HQ. I have to go back to the same location at some point so it will...

    WKM flashing red led at start up??

    Thanks for your response, it wasn't RTH, my WKM flashes blue in RTH and I don't have it on a switch only set as FS and controller was working fine as I could switch modes and arm etc. I was in a valley with a metal garden gazebo about 5m out from the take off point so perhaps given your...

    WKM flashing red led at start up??

    Had a job on the weekend and after arming the system i noticed a continuous red flashing led (wkm on firmware 5.20), this lasted for about 30-40 seconds before returning to normal. Decided not to chance a flight so powered down and on again and the same thing happened, after a while the normal...

    Gimbals & Encoders 2nd half 2015 Have we Arrived?

    I would have looked at Infinity MR but it's heavier than H3, H3 is only 0.77kg in aerial mode!

    Gimbals & Encoders 2nd half 2015 Have we Arrived?

    New price is for gimbal only no extras such as top plate. Its just very unprofessional to advertise something at one price and then change the price, if the H3 needed furthe development or improvement then it should not have been for sale in the first place. I for one have now decided to hold...

    BNUCs, to renew or not to renew???

    I have decided to renew my BNUCs for this year and my only rational for this is that it might make the process of flight testing at over 7kg easier (something we may need soon). Otherwise there isn't any real reason to renew your BNUCs if you are work in the UK, there is one requirement that the...

    BNUCs, to renew or not to renew???

    As Buzz_Roavr has pointed out, you now have PFAW for sub 7kg for any aircraft from the CAA, if you want to keep renewing your BNUCs you could still do so with your current OM for S900

    BNUCs, to renew or not to renew???

    I should have pointed out that the CAA do require that you have at leat 2hours flight time logged for the past 3 months at renewal if not then this may be another reason to renew your BNUCs

    BNUCs, to renew or not to renew???

    The CAA now treat your BNUCs like your driving test or PPL, once you have passed that's it, you have proven you have the necessary skills and experience. EUROUSC only want you to renew for their own financial gain, although if you do operations in other countries you have some benefit in...

    BNUCs, to renew or not to renew???

    I think one my biggest issues is the time they take and talking to others (myself included) they often ask you to make amendments to the OM when you renew, even though it's been previously approved (and accepted by the CAA). I guess we are just in a transitional faze at the moment and the safest...

    BNUCs, to renew or not to renew???

    Are you guys renewing PFAW direct with CAA or going through EuroUSC? I have had a reminder from EuroUSC that my BNUCs is due for renewal (if I want to renew) but obviously this is no longer necessary as you can renew PFAW direct with CAA, are there any benefits of keeping your BNUCs? I have had...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx SkyJib X4 Crashes Testing Failsafe

    As has been pointed out already, go to the assistant and check that the indication goes into the failsafe area when your TX is switched off and check the throttle position, it goes without saying that the props should be removed (DO NOT MISS THIS STEP!!). If you didn't build the rig yourself or...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx SkyJib X4 Crashes Testing Failsafe

    You will more than likely be required to demonstrate that your failsafe works as intended by turning off your TX however you may be given an opportunity to regain control to land once your rig is back over the departure point. Always check your failsafe in the assistant first but remember that...

    New safety video

    Anyone seen this? Apparently it was produced in association with the CAA! Personally I don't think it addresses enough of the regs, no mention of 400'Agl 500m etc. Let alone insurance. I know it's not aimed at professional users but it's missing out on a chance to inform. Also how will it ever...
