    Photo/Video Editing

    Very creative video, love the PIP with the frame, very well thought out. Smooth flying as well, which is a real bonus. I use premiere & have done since 2001, love it! just wish my main computer didnt keep crashing when editing full HD :( I once made a film very similar, with a girl on a sofa...

    California Film Commission, just say no to sUAS

    Seems the CFC is a private body & not government run, they have commercial interests to keep FULL SIZE for filming as they dont want the man on the street to make thier full size aircraft obsolete, very greedy. Why not film standing in the sea or river beds as these aren't state owned. I'm...

    Time for a poll!

    As you know Bart I did mention facebook in a PM, mainly due to the fact that I have quite a few heli fliers as mates & some of them are trying to get into these MR aircraft, just thought it would be nice to hook up with who ever uses FB from this forum :) Ross

    Charging LiPo's with cigarette lighter sockets...possible?

    Ken, what other forums do you belong to? The reason I ask is because someone else called Ken told me to use empty ammo boxes & thats what I now use, even drilled a few holes in the top as suggested. Ross

    Have you got an old speaker? If so pull the screwdriver across it a few times & then you wont have to go to the store.

    Mikrokopter Position Hold.

    Whatever the met report says at ground level, always add 50% for altitude. I find www.xcweather.co.uk very accurate & I have a pocket wind speed indicator as well to back up what I've seen. It's worth noting down wind speeds so that you know your limits as well as the aircrafts.

    Charging LiPo's with cigarette lighter sockets...possible?

    Well that's the theory, but I have 2 flying mates who will prove otherwise. They both bought 100A leisure batteries & within 2 months both were worse than useless. I'll stick with my old car battery at 1/2 the price ;) ;)

    Charging LiPo's with cigarette lighter sockets...possible?

    I use a PC power supply as its gives 12v @ 18A, so my heprion charge works a treat, as does my mobile fridge :) For charging in the feild I would suggest another battery, not those cheap handy packs as they really do suck big time! Buy another car battery of about 60 - 80A rating, put it in the...

    Mikrokopter Higher altitudes while keeping horizontal position?

    Im no expert, but from what I've read if you put in any input then it takes it off of PH, so when you get up to altitude hit the PH switch then. Ross

    Hi from Holland

    I was really looking forward to your hexa taking a leap into the air, hopefully the sun gods will shine & the wind gods will go to sleep & then we can see its maiden flight. Ross

    The Ten Commandments of FPV

    7) Buy a decent quality camera, the cheaper ones are fine for CCTV but no good for long range FPV.
