I know of a school around here who would love this quad, what a great computer/science project!

86, I was living in Barnstaple then, like I am now. I fly rc helis with the CO of 22sqn, Olly he's called, great guy. 63sqn hawks, those were the days, did you get any photos Gary from the back seat? Would love to see if you have, even better would be some video ;) Ross

Still not sure on the FC board...was thinking MK or ardupirate? Did consider H/F pro, but a few on other forums have had bad experiences with them :( Now I'm worried :( hope the GT's last longer than 5 hours, hence why I got 10 incase of failures. I can always upgrade the bearings if needed...

Ken & now Dave have saved me a fortune already, mine will NOT be HF pro. I asked the guy who makes them on another forum all about them, he gave me loads of info (could have been on wattflyer or RCgroups), then after 4 email exchanges I asked about the problems I had heard about...guess what? NO...

Well my 10 motors arrived (order 9 get 1 free) & I must say they look & feel so nice. Good assortment of accessories as well, check out the pics that I quickly snapped today:-

IP...Ingress Point, on the way to Chivenor. My late father was SWO at Chivenor up until 1969, in the days when it was hunters/meteors & vampires. Then it was home to the hawks before Brawdy CO made prince charles the commander in chief, knowing then that they wouldnt shut done Brawdy...Chivenor...

Lost me already ;) I'm fine with helis & fixed wing, but this octo/hexa/quad stuff is a bit strange to us heli pilots ;) Thanks for the reply. Ross

Dave, they cant prosecute for the truth!!! At the end of the day its legal talk & not lawful, there is a world of difference between the two, just ask a copper, bet he cant tell you the difference! Legal applies to the PERSON..NOT the human being, legal is designed for corporations, like your...

Hi Sebbie, Iknow you'll enjoy this place, its full of info & some really helpful guys to. Ross

Already reading this thread I see that Bart has mentioned 2 problems with MK boards, things I had no idea about...is it a good idea??? You bet, go for it Bart, save us poor humble slaves some money my friend. Ross

Hi Edouard, welcome aboard. I'm very interested in your openpilot projects, will they control an octo copter? Regards Ross

Bart, where does one get a spektrum diversity board? I take it you plug in 2 satellite's from a spektrum receiver??? Ross

Line of sight with the heli, she's a handful at the best of times, one of the downsides of using a 3D heli for aerial work! Ross

Nicely done Jeff, with 3 cams every angle is covered. Ross

:rolleyes:Anticlimax I think in my opinion they need to reduce rotor size, make them clark Y or under cambered section (like glider) & alter the gearing to make the main rotors spin faster, he little legs were going like a belt fed wombat but the rotors were hardly spinning! A lot more work...

Watching it now, I think they have the wrong blade section, they need an undercambered section like used on gliders. Ross

Hi CTBON, welcome aboard, I'm sure there will be plenty of info to read on this forum. To me its a god send as I'm comming into this side of the hobby from helis & fixed wing, but there is so much I didnt know & still dont know, but the guys here have helped big time. I even learnt today from...

For those of you who want heavy lift here is something a touch lighter but the same specs as the AXI 2820/14 goldline motor. It's the Emax GT 2820/07, which can be purchased from robotbirds, www.robotbirds.com the main man is called Andy & he's very helpful & even does special prices if you buy...

I suppose I'm luckier than most as my fiancee is also my aerial cam operator, she controls anything to do with the camera I just fly ;) My trex600ESP carries my Canon 40D up to great height, I try & hover (very hard at height) whilst she controls the cam, well thats the theory behind it, but the...

Bart, get a fixed focus lens, they are lighter & more crisp. I use a 28mm & 50mm both F1.8 & give great results, set manula shutter at 1/500 or 1/640 & away you go Ross
