Hi Chris, Yes, my wife was quite happy with the B'day celebration although my wallet is now significantly lighter ;) I'd say we're looking at a Monday 8/19 ship date for the return of your 550, a couple things are taking a bit longer than expected to get sorted out but I think you'll be...

Yes, they're very common ESCs sold under a number of different names, the ones I have are labeled by DYS although I think they're actually made by Hobbywing. If can you find a vendor in the EU that sells DYS ESCs, then a 30amp replacement should be all you need. This is what mine look like...

The quick and easy summary is, the APM sends detailed data about flight controller status and location information from a GPS module over a radio link to the ground station for use with the GS software for flight planning and monitoring. FRSky sends basic information by two way communication...

Yes, I'll reply a bit later, got some work things to take care of right now... Ken

Progress to date... Naza transplant completed, did a couple test flights and it's a lot more stable than with the Multiwii controller. Still need to do some tweaking of the gain settings and I need to try and figure out a way to get RTH to work with the TX, that's being more of a problem than I...

Already working on it. I also remembered I have a couple things stashed in the parts boxes on the shelf that will help Chris with the APV side of things, I'll have to dig those out and see if they're compatible with the 550 frame. Probably not going to make any more progress today, it's my...

If it works as well as a purpose built brushless gimbal and it's reasonably priced, you better gear up to sell a LOT of them. I have two AV130 sitting on the shelf gathering dust while brushless gimbal do the work the AV were intended for, would be nice if I could see some return on the...

While I've been working on the 550 that thought has crossed my mind. I know given enough time to tweak and tune I can get the Multiwii flight controller to be at least 95% reliable, it's that last 5% that worries me. I've got a few hundred hours of stick time on multirotors and sometimes that 5%...

Spent a bit more time with it this morning. Since the configuration settings were suspect I connected the Multiwii board to the computer, erased the eprom, and then compiled and loaded a fresh copy of Multiwii firmware V2.2. A quick test flight with the default settings was night and day, it...

The postman delivered the 550 today. Took it out of the box a while ago and had a look, the component parts are definitely decent gear with one notable exception, the radio is complete crap. First thing I noticed about the radio was the lack of any form of external antenna, that tells me that...

I know that feeling, was out on the motorcycle once when a bee flew into the space between the top of my sunglasses and the helmet and wound up stinging me on the forehead right between the eyes, OUCH!!! Since I'm allergic to the little Bas@@@ds I made a quick detour to the nearest hospital for...

Good luck, I think you're going to find you almost have to give them away these days. I posted one of my AV130 for sale a while back on several different forums and had zero interest at half the price you're asking. Servo driven gimbals are pretty much dead for all but still photography...

I have a set of Fatshark Attitude goggles that have been used once for sale. My first set developed a problem and I bought the second set to use while the other went for repair, turned out I was able to find the problem on the first set and fix it without having to send them off to China...

Sure can but it will be a few days, I'm in Phoenix until Friday and the multis are back home in Boston. Ken

I have a Tarot and a pair of RCTimer brushless for GoPro. All three of them combined cost less than one DJI H3-2D and as far as I can tell they work exactly the same or better. Granted they don't have the fancy builtin Hero3 connection or the hidden wiring of the DJI unit but on the other hand...

Perfect, as long as I have the radio you plan to use I'll be able to get everything setup and dialed in. I seem to recall you mentioned you will be flying a GoPro on it. Which one (Hero HD or newer Hero 3 size) and how are you planning to mount it? I have both the old and new GoPros so I'll be...

LOL, amen to that! At last count I had 18 in total out of which only a few were not in flying condition. I did however actually sell one of my less used quads recently, I'll be in therapy for months over it... ;) Ken

Yes, still valid. I can PM you my address and all you need to do is put the pieces in a box and send it off, I'll take care of the rest. Right now I'm in Phoenix at a business conference until I fly home on Friday so no need to rush the shipping, I wouldn't be able to do anything with it until...

Forget about the Turnigy and other cheapo Chinese radios, they're just that, cheap radios with all that implies. I gave the 9XR a try and it went stone cold dead in the middle of a flight less than 3 months after I started using it. I opened it up and quite honestly the hardware is crap, poor...
