Nice post Michael, I have downloaded that free programe. I hate having to try & get all these stabilisation programes to accept AVCHD, its so annoying. Ross

Bart, glad you have got some seriously stable results...you give me hope ;) Juz, you still scare me....that's some seriously good flying my MR addicted friend ;) Tabb, very arty & creative use of the sun & slo-mo, well done. May I ask what is the max current draw of your CS8? Ross

I was thinking something along the lines of car battery cable? form it into a continuos loop & take 8 taps off to each ESC! Ross

I take it thats a 26cc gasser in that bird? I did think that route or even a maxijoker 3, but opted fort he octo after seeing some seriously good aerial video. I'm sure someone told me the FC2.1ME comes with navi control built in????? So your off to see the pirates, enjoy & maybe catch you...

Yes Sid, got them mounted already....just trying to sort out where I can get cable to take 450Amps?? Ross

:) :) :) :)

This Skyjib 8 isd our first EVER MR aircraft, so its all new. We came into this via a trex600esp & never used any stabilisation...the mrs controls all camera functions..I just fly the thing. The camera mount has its own power source, transmitter & R/C receiver...& she gets some seriously good...

I have put my skylib build on hold, new parts about to be sent out & would hate to have to strip down & start it all again ;) Ross

They no longer say oo arrr, its now "Yertiz dreckly" ;) If you bring your toys with you & can make it to Barnstaple, I would love to meet you, maybe exchange some B/S as we do ;) Regards Ross

Thanks for the great info Flash, I dont have to worry about ANY camera controls, the Mrs does that via the 2nd DX7. The carefree mode would be nice, does that need GPS to work I wonder? Ross

Jes, I should have made it clearer, the camera mount is my own, not a supplied one from Droidworx, so Im converting a heli mount ;) Ross

Thanks Bart, I have a few more questions. I am using spektrum DX7's for my octo & my camera mount, so should I do the octo as an aircraft...I presume so as idle up just wont cut it with a MR ;) I only have 7 channels for octo control & no gps (I take it navi is now built in on the FC 2.1ME). So...

:) Ross

Strange, I use the exact same camera & find OIS causes more problems than its worth! Especially when mounted under a trex600esp, but I must stress that my old cam mount wasnt the best (askman series) so its now modded for use under my CS8/Skyjib 8. Ross

I have just been informed by Rob & Lynda that the skyjib 8 is the NEW name for the CS8....I was worried for a while there ;) Dont forget I have some production photos in my gallery if anyone is interested & some new ones to be taken soon with the retractable undercart as well....when I can suss...

Amen brother, I hear you well ;) Ross

I dont have the navi board, just the FC board Bart & dont think I will be using waypoints etc for a long long time...I dont know if I could trust that amount of money in the air to be controlled by a computer ;) ;) Ross

So is that version 1.78? I downloaded version 1.74b......to be honest I couldnt see a higher version ;) Thanks for your input my friend. Ross

mmmmm, now im a touch confused, so older might well be better? Do you know what is the most stable for octos? I have FC 2.1 ME if that makes any difference. Ross

I've been using turnigy 20c 6s packs for my trext 600esp for over 2 years now...they do puff, but still working well. I have just bought 2 nano techs for my octo, but havent used them yet. What lipos are you wondering about & what use will they be put to? Ross
