Top of the pile dosnet necessarily mean 'airworthy' it just means of the highest quality currently available. Also, a genuinely safe aircraft doesn't necessarily mean $$$$$$$. In the UK under the new safety case system it looks like it will be very possible to build an aircraft that isn't...

In business it seems that those who make money are either those at the top of the pile or those at the very bottom. It seems to be much harder to be successful if holding the middle ground. There are already plenty of products at the lower end of the market but very few at the top. As the...

In general, lifting off in GPS mode is not a problem. The key to a good safe take off is not to fanny around by trying a slow gentle take off, instead just get the aircraft off the ground by giving it the beans. The reason for this is that should there be any lateral drift on take off then a...

Or indeed the KDE ESCs which have given the best performance I have seen having tried Hobbywing, Tiger and Jeti

You don't need the pros on this forum to help you although of course they will. Everyone here is generally very helpful so just ask away. Welcome to the addiction.

Count me in! North Yorkshire. PC me as above.

Keep your eyes peel for green and yellow flashes on LED and if seen land immediately regardless of flight mode. Fly in Attitude too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think this video should be definitive enough:

Actually- to clear things up and so people dont point fingers- it was myself in my roles as a moderator. I spoke to Bart about what I saw as inappropriate behavior but rather than wade in with both feet, I discussed it with Bart what was appropriate action from the mods and he posted for me.

Well, I always take off in GPS mode and never had an issue. Where I have seen other people have issues is because they take off too slowly and this can easily cause a tip over on take off as a skid catches on the ground with the FC trying to compensate. Best thing I can recommend is just give it...

Im with the others on this I'm afraid. Poor storage conditions have malkied the cell in my opinion.

Yup its a coax config and gains are at about 190 for Pitch and Roll, 150 yaw and 190 altitude.

No such thing as a stupid question here so don't put yourself down. Im a pro flyer but I remember only too well what it was like when I first entered the whole RC world and then multirotors. There's a lot to learn but a great community here. Welcome and watch out for you bank balance, once you...

Cellpro 8 is one of the best chargers on the market. It's competitor and my favourite is the iCharger 4010 duo or 406 duo. The two ichargers are the same except the 4010 will do 10 cell batteries and the 406 up to 6s. Go with the 406 if you are only going to deal with 6s batteries. I prefer the...

It sounds as if it is wired just as the DJI retracts are in which case it shouldn't cause huge problems with your FC voltage supply. It shouldn't do that even if you are plugged into the flight packs- providing they are rated to a high enough C rating which for MRs is usually to a minimum of...

Also, if you get caught, the fines are pretty huge!

I use a phone. Start the call before a flight and finish it afterwards. Never had a problem with interference from it and it doesn't ever show on my spectrum analyzer. Simples.

6s 5000mAh exceeds the limits which are each battery must be less than 100Wh so I would send them ahead or use 6s 4500mAh or smaller. Ultimately you need to check with Air Canada to see what their Ts and Cs state about Lipos.

Good advice that. Go with a really simple build ie small quad, and use cheap components and use it as your teaching platform. Once you have done one, you will then be in a great position to build something much bigger if that's the way you want to go.

Welcome and enjoy the fun.
