    Mikrokopter MK FC 2.5 Problems

    Hi Bart, Thanks for the reply. I found out what I had to do to arm the motors last night and posted it above. Strange but I can't find any mention of it anywhere...... I have the props on and now it's started drizzling but I'm hopeful I will get to try it soon. I'll let you know what I find...

    Mikrokopter MK FC 2.5 Problems

    I've worked out how to get the motors running.....Once I select the Parameter Selection Setting to 1 - 5 only then can I start the motors. I have not seen this written anywhere and may be a new feature in Ver 2.02b I had a suspicion it had something to do with a calibration and started working...

    Mikrokopter MK FC 2.5 Problems

    Hi Bart, Thanks for the reply. I checked the min gas and it was set to the default which is 8. I checked it in motor test and the motors started at 8 and stopped at 0. I tried changing the value from 8 to 15 and they still started at 8 and stopped at 0 and it made no change to the "Minimum...

    NIB AXI 4120-20 Motors

    I have 8 brand new Axi 4120-20 motors for sale. They come with 600mm wires and 8mm radial prop mounts. I bought them for a project and was unable to use them so they have not been used. These are an extremely sought after motor for their performance and reliability. Asking $800.00us plus...

    Australian CAA Permissions...

    Hi Steve, I'm not sure how you're going to get on. CASA the Civil Aviation Safety Authority are quite strict here with UAV operations. All commercial ops require the operating business to hold an OC "Operators Certificate" and the pilot to hold a UAV Pilot's Licence. Both are difficult to...

    Mondo Stinger 500

    Poor video quality and intermittent snow etc...... I'm using skew planar/patch with a diversity Rx and clover leaf Tx so I doubt it's the antennas.

    Mondo Stinger 500

    I have been having video glitches with my Immersion 5.8 600mw Tx so I've decided to get a Mondo Stinger 500 to replace it. Considering the price difference, is the Mondo really that much better?? Thanks. Lance

    Heavylift Motor/Powerboard Choice

    Thanks for the input......I looked at the U series motors but they are 50g heavier than the equivalent pro series motor...That's 400g total!! Motor efficiency is a couple of percent lower also. Has anyone tried the MK motors and Powerboard?? Thanks, Lance

    Heavylift Motor/Powerboard Choice

    Some time back I started putting together a SJ8 and bought everything I needed to run it on 6S. Back then there weren't too many options and I ended up having to shelve the project and wait for the technology to catch up. What I did get was a set of AXI 4120/20 motors which at the time were the...

    AV200 Brushless Upgrade & Stabilization Unit

    I looked also and had a hard time finding somewhere that listed the price......I know why after I found it!!! 6,000.00Euro is a bit over the top..... There seem to be a few other nice nice gimbals around now for a lot less. Thanks. Lance

    AV200 Brushless Upgrade & Stabilization Unit

    I have an AV200 and am considering upgrading it to brushless and wanted to see if anyone here has experience with it and if it's worth the money. I never did get a stabilization unit at the time I bought the gimbal due to the controversy regarding the Skyline and thought they might have sorted...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Skyjib 8 motor options - looking for longest flight times

    Nothing is ever easy with CASA........Believe me!!! It's actually an OC not an AOC which is what Air Charter Operators need which is similar but different. A PPL is a good start but I know when I made my application they were asking for a CPL and an IFR rating.....Add to that you'll need to log...
