A casual conversation with an interested observer at a recent outing brought up the gem that he had seen these 'quadcopter things' before. One was being used by the owner of a camp site in SW France to check the status of his 1000 odd pitches so he could rapidly see if campers had checked out...

Having suffered an embarrassing battery failure over the weekend we've been looking for viable alternatives, might have just found one. ... ummm... maybe a slight power to weight ratio problem? andy

Our 5.8GHz video downlink works well 95% of the time but there are times when the cloverleaf antenna is blanked by the frame or camera, etc. Is it practical to have two antenna in separate locations connected by a tee adaptor to the Tx to give better coverage ? andy

Our collection of props is growing and I'm looking for ideas on storing them. Originally all our props were 11 inch and fitted nicely into a plastic QuikLoc spaghetti container from Sainsburys. We've now progressed to 12 and 13 inch size and they don't fit. Any cheap ideas on where to put them ...

Having recently discovered how good skew planar / cloverleaf antenna are, I fitted a three lobe one to our Iftron 5.8Ghz Tx and used both a rubber duck and a patch antenna on our Passport diversity Rx. It worked very well and a real improvement over the original drop out prone arrangement using...

Ok so for the past week I've been trying so solve a few issues with the Y6. I've come to to conclusion that it is this unintentional roll of the camera gimbal that annoys me most.
