Well that must have been damned inconvienient for you :)

From my understanding the 3 position switches just set an output of 0 (1ms), 50%(1.5ms) or 100%(2ms), I cant see a problem with using a Y split on the GPS channel. From the manual for the gentled trigger it doesn't specify any particular speed of pulse so I can only assume any voltage seen at A...

You know what that frame reminds me of? Very cool.

Bart, been there done that :) Thankfully these sorts of forums populated by people with a willingness to impart (sometimes hard earned) knowledge from a wide range of subjects are a boon in this day and age. When Wi-Fi networks were first getting popular I built my own antennas because we...

Thats good advice from Zorba, shorter = less signal lost in the cable. SMA has a pin in the plug, RPSMA has the pin in the socket. http://www.macwireless.com/html/products/antennas_boosters/accessories/antenna_adapters_guide.php has all the common types of RF connectors you are likely to come...

RG-174 will carry the signal, but you have to spend megabux with someone like Belden to get stuff rated to nearly 6 gigahertz. http://www.belden.com/pdfs/03Belden_Master_Catalog/06Coaxial_Cables/06Coaxial_Cables.pdf if you want a look at what they rate theirs to. Just in case anyone were...

Just as long as they sent you a 5.8gig patch not a 2.4 :)

NM Found the Immersion Due 5.8 gig receiver. What about the patch antenna, where did that come from? Also the Duo is a diversity reciever (picks the best signal from two inputs) do you need to set anything if you only use one?

God bless the inventors of hot melt glue, gaffer tape and zip ties.

2.4ghz (assuming thats what it is) has a wavelengh of 125mm (about 5 inches) so as long as they are at least that apart you should be good.

Liftoff! So because I am on night shift, and couldn't wait to play with it in daylight...in the garden...where I have space. I tried it in the office. First launch from the floor....too much throttle and cracked a ceiling tile :eek: Second launch was much better but I got cocky and...

Wireless video links. Bain of my existence in my day job. Things to check, try plugging the camera into a screen direct to check that part of the link. The other one is batteries/voltages I had a system where the TX was 12v but the receiver was only 5v...... luckily I spotted it before I...

I can see it now "Darling.....yeeaaaaasss.....why are there twigs in the bed?"

I have been thinking it might be ground effect, I guess I just need to grow a pair and give it some :)

Yes (direction of travel, so between 1 and 2) X Pretty sure, but, hell, this wouldn't be the first time I was wrong :) When I was doing final tests, there was some oscillation front to back whilst I had it in my hand, I tuned the pitch pot till it stopped. After doing all the ESC calibration...

Many thanks for posting this Droider. Thankfully most of it isn't all that MK specific and the pilot training exercises will be invaluable once I get mine in the air.

Gregg from Portsmouth, UK. Currently limited flying experience (like.......none) been into RC for years but only really things like monster trucks and the like. Sold it all when I moved house and got into photography. Someone showed me a Youtube vid of someone flying a Quad with FPV and...

I know its been a while, but I finally received all the bits from Hobby King, eBay, etc this week and have completed the build. Its been gingerly hopped on the bed, sadly something isn't right and it constantly wants to front flip. Due to work commitments I haven't had any time to start...

What about somethign like an ALICE frame? I have used them in the dim and distance past for portable camera recorders (an MATX motherboard, capture card and a small UPS) they have many convenient locations to bolt things to, including various pouches and holsters that are designed for the...

50/50 usually wether its slow or not for me, although I make use of the "new posts" feature quite often so its usually running a search.
