O.K I have been trying for weeks to get my S800 flying nice, and have failed.. It still flys terribly! This is mainly noticable when yawing the machine will drift a few meters then start flashing white lights at me... I have been out again testing and found that if I yaw more aggresively the...

You should buy an ardupilot board, APM2.5 that will help you learn much more in depth how all this sort of thing works, it is open source firmware and hardware, you can even make your own circuit board with all the sensors e.t.c then program the mirco-processor to control the multi although much...

I started with Helis first then planes then multi`s... Must be about 17years now, The first time I flew a plane it was only a relatively cheap one but it ended up in bits after a couple of minutes flying and wondering why the rudder doesnt turn the plane properly :) So I went and bought another...

I managed an hour today with a couple of planes and my Tricopter... Perhaps go sloping tommorow? Haven`t flown so little in ages, My 96" ME109 hasn`t been started in over a year! but hoping to get a few flights in this year if the weather is more agreeable?

It`s not so easy to tell but looking at those pictures, I would say there shouldn`t be any reason why the MK1 cannot do the same as MK2? with a firmware upgrade

Really would love to Dave.. But got a fair bit of work booked in and cannot afford to turn it down, hopefully you will do a blog on it with progress e.t.c It would be great to see for those that cannot go.

Me too if I win the lottery before you leave :nevreness:

Thanks Bowley, not seen that before but seems like they have some connection to UAVS also... What are people paying here? apart from BNUC and the £113 to CAA to look at your machine each year and certify it I also am paying just shy of £1000 per year for insurance against theft or damage and...

FS100 is a nice bit of kit

Never heard of it? the only thing I have had is a questionaire from UAVS that was emailed to me by the C.A.A

I flew for weeks with the Fat Shark spironet antennas reversed before I noticed the small print on the casing, never made any difference that I could note? maybe at longer distances it would be noticeable.

Hi Tomas, hope you are well.. I believe the improvements they were talking about were with current firmware i.e 5.14 and the result of the 72 hour testing they done, a better firmware was produced using the observations from that test.. 5.16 was released and appears to be the best update yet

Look on DJI website the MK1 that we have will remain as is and the MK2 will benefit from firmware upgrades and assistant software.. I know the MK1 has sd card installed and usb port so there must be some way of upgrading?

Me too.. I am already a licensed operator and have been speaking to the C.A.A about UAV regulation and how to get involved? but as yet they have no working group on UAV regulation, so I would suggest there is still time to form something...

You probably get a CD when you buy the MKII OSD with the software needed? a bit like the datalink radio

I know mine doesn`t always work as it should, not had it long either? I cannot find any software to upgrade it... Looks like the other functions are only for the MKII I hope this is not the case..

I know it`s depressing isnt it? I haven`t flown for days....

Also using a white card background that hangs off the wall and across the floor helps... Thats how they photograph for sales magazines

Panasonic GH2 on the S800

Definately a servo on the verge of death.. Usual cause is too much load on the servo or a stalling servo due to incorrect ajustment?
