Very nice Jeff.....Love your work :) Regards, Lance

I am planning to carry a FPV, HD video and a still camera in the same lift.

A big box of bits arrived from Droidworx today followed by a box of motors........Time to start screwing the airframe together :)

Hey Steve, Welcome to the forum. Regards, Lance

I'm trying to find one of these and not having much luck.....Anyone know where I can get one or have one sitting around and want to part with it?? Thanks, Lance

Hahahaha...When was the other time it was upside down ;) Yeah I agree if it was a conventional heli it would have been a wreck!! It will be interesting to hear what you think of the Naza when you hook it up. I have opted for MK electronics and plan couple my mount up to it....That is when I...

Congrats Tom.......When it rolled upside down I thought Oh Nooooooooooo

Very cool and thanks for sharing with us. It never ceases to amaze me how certain things get the attention of some people and they dedicate so much time and resources to restoring what most of the time appears to be no more than a pile of rubbish into a thing of beauty.......I am sure this one...

Great clip Jeff......Looks like it's rather cold over there at the moment 8-) Regards, Lance

I hear you Dave........Thanks for your comments.

I very nearly bought an Aerodrive8 myself but it's limited to 5S and I really wanted a 6S setup so I ordered the Hercules II set up http://www.kopterworx.com/vmchk/PowerBoards/RTF-Herkules-II-OKTO-+-FC I wanted a set of Graupner 14 x 8 props but opted for the smaller 15 x 5 to be on the safe...

Hey Graham, Looks like we are at the same crossroads waiting for the green light!!! I have decided upon a 6S power supply for my SJ8 via Hercules II boards and MK guidance, Axi 4120/20 motors and Xoar 15 x 5 props. From what I have been able to ascertain so far the props are on the small side...

I bit the bullet and have ordered all the parts I listed in the original post plus a couple of extras. I had a difficult time trying to get 14 x 7 props so I ended up with a set of X-oar 15 x 5....These should be a good starting point and have a PF of 75 versus 98 for the 14 x 7 I ordered 4...

Hi, Has anyone tried using the Graupner Elektro Prop 14 x 8 ?? I was thinking of going with 14 x 7 but I can only find ordinary looking props and I really like Graupner but I cannot seem to find any. Thanks, Lance

Hey Ross, I'm working on battery options at the moment. I have decided to go with a 6S setup and can split the packs into 2 x pair of 3S packs..........Thinking about your set up with 4S and 4 packs .......I'm guessing you're running all 4 packs in parallel, how do you get on when you...

Thanks Ross.....You seem to have it pretty much sorted.....Can't wait to start working on mine!!! Regards, Lance

WOW....They are hungry!! Thanks for the info

Thanks Ross.....What run times are you getting with 16000mah onboard and what props are you running??
