SHHHHHHHH Bart, his wife's away...its the mistress ;)

I made a 3A 12v supply...the trouble is that when dropping from 22v down to 12v it produces a lot of heat & therfore the 3A became about 400ma!!!! I did find a replacement chip & new circuit diagram that gave 1A @ 12v. Try this:- Ross

Thanks Dave. I have 10 emax 2820/07's & started to get very worried :) At least your in the warm for the weekend...easy access to munchies & kettle...bargain ;) Ross

Dave, what emax GT motor is that?? Ross

Mate, I don't have any space left in my place...even got my octo on the floor behind the sofa :( Have you tried a 5/8 wave antenna? Good low angle of radiation. Ross

Ed for use on the aircraft I think a centre fed dipole is best for your distances, its less prone to fade outs when your aircraft is performing aerobatics or sharp turns...but geta decent RX antenna ;) Ross

Ed I am also a member of FPVLAB & they have a section just for Alex's aerials, for anyone who is interested:- http://fpvlab.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?28-Video-Aerial-Systems Ross

Right, just finished eating my share of the elephant ;) All the ESC's still have the BEC lead connected, the main power inputs are ALL soldered to my home gashed power board, so I will need to do each one in turn & then leave 1 only with the red BEC lead connected...then plug them into the...

Stranger Sid, where have you been hiding? As Dave said, its knowing where to go or what to do next. I was thinking of drawing a "To do list", but my biggest problem is knowing which order to do things in. EXAMPLE: MK FC2.1 I2C-PWM 8 x ESC's 8 x motors 8 x props 1 x spektrum diversity receiver...

nice filming, good choice of scenes & objects. Ross

Dave, I'm so glad you said that. I'm sat here with everything needed to complete my SJ8...but I just look at it & walk away totally dumbfounded...where do I start??? I was going to make a special journey up to see you one weekend with all the bits & some cash for your expert help....its so...

Top man, I always shoot fully manual (except gopro). But I wasnt sure if the autofocus worked on video mode on the 7D?

Superb Quality Chuck, I so need to upgrade my 40D to the 7D, especially after seeing the quality on here. I take it during HD filming its manual focus only? U4 shame you didnt get any more footage of the MB339, wicked aircraft mate. Ross

Droidworx are very efficient at replacing missing/bad parts. If your local stockist hasnt got any, contact Droidworx direct. Ross

Thanks David, I will take your advice on board & cut the tracks so that they dont form a ring any more. I dont want to put an expensive toy in the deck for a few mins extra work ;) Regards Ross

Thanks David, I will break the tracks then. Ross

Lovely filming Wanho, love the location & the filming of the leaves works really well. One or two questions for you. When your camera LCD display closed...ddint that put your camera into standby ;) What's the power chain you are using on your octo. Regards Ross

I always thought, please correct me if I'm wrong, that magnetic thingymabob could only be generated by AC & not DC? Hence why ESC's produce AC from the DC to make the motor spin...but as I said, I could well be wrong? Now you see why I wanted to see if MK boards had a break or were complete...

Hi Dave, I have made my own power distribution board for my octo, it was cut from a blank PCB & I used a compass to mark out 2 complete rings, 1 for +Ve & the other for -V. I didnt know if to leave the rings complete or break them apart? Ross
