They are just some generic 2208/14 1450s and some 18 Amp speed controllers. These are the ones that will come with a kit Its the TriCopter power set times 2 with some different props.

Ok finished the power distribution board and added the motors Here it is with speed controllers and motors Now if you can tell me where the safe place is that I left my bag of props it would be a great help. I bet I'm not the only person that puts stuff somewhere safe and...

We don't do very serious at Robs! I was really cheeky and said to my dad that my soldering is rubbish could he show me how to do it again. So he did.... He was an electronics engineer for years so knows what hes doing. Hooray Will shrink wrap the power distribution bit along with hot glue...

Yes its CNC'd and could be kitted if there was interest.

Made a wooden frame on Monday with a view to flying a heavy super simple thing but then decided heck why not fast forward to a G10 version using the arm design from our TriCopter. So far so good, it came together well. My folks are coming to watch the Royal Wedding here and then we are going...

This is sliding into a wish list for MK improvements! I am no expert on ESCs but my handle on it is that some just are really much cheaper than others! There are several Open Source ESCs coming. Obviously you would tune until vibration reduced with that data Crash? Has anybody worked on prop...

Autotune PIDs would be on my list as well. Was talking to my mate with a Falcon 8 yesterday and we came to the conclusion that its such a good machine because nothing changes. The payload is always the same. That said boards now ought to handle the load changes as they are not seeing the...

Just for interest, I wonder what people would like their boards to be able to do and what the minimum is they expect them to be able to do. For me its just a stable hold both position and height. Anyhow I throw the floor open. If you ruled the world what would your board do?

Constant speed variable pitch, Rob and I were giving it a bit of thought during a board meeting he called at The Canon NP this afternoon.

Well as multirotors gain more traction (no pun intended) No doubt prop fettlers will come up with better designs for our purpose. Motors are already coming shorter shaft and longer lead. There will be considerable resistance from the masses about price though. I would not be surprised in the...

Is it not better to use props with different pitch when they are top and bottom, or is that urban legend?

Ohh what a lovely looking frame, I'd love to try a CC in that. Interesting patent idea for the Y6 that means Dragan are in trouble?

CAP 722 is about to change again, not sure in what way but should be any time soon. We are lucky to have some sensible rules that allow commercial AP. In the USA it seems years off. I think they are facing a CB radio type situation there, where so many people start doing it its impossible to...

Heres an introduction to the Copter Control board, says what its all about. http://www.openpilot.org

I would leave your machine by the window for at least half an hour, switch it on and go do something else.

@MikroJ you will have to let it see sats for a while to update the almanac and then it should lock faster http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_signals#Almanac

Ah Duchars a very nice pint, I'm between Bedford and MK at the minute. Gaui 330x Scorpion Tri, Hexa that we have not named yet Y6 in the process of being made. So when will the fly in be??

No I don't think so Kirk it would be really tricky to hand solder and frankly not worth the pain. If you PM Dave he has some developer boards for sale now with JTAG support and USB. They are for the hard core types stout of heart. The first run of final boards has happened. They just have to...
