I'm using the same batteries on my v8. I reckon for about 7 1/2 minutes endurance. Well recommended, just keep an eye on the timer!

Many thanks Chris, I will give it a go! If the SE of England gets smokey, you know I got the polarity wrong! Best wishes Rich

I wonder if there is anyone who can give me a hand? I have a DJI iOSD (sadly its a Mk1, ordered just before the Mk2 came out) and an Immersion RC 5.8ghz audio/video transmitter (600mw). I want to transmit using the Immersion TX but can't work out the wiring. I don't want to 'smoke' either...

My top tip! Graupners are worth every penny. The confidence I have in my 'beasties' is totally different. I had a few failures with inferior props and the investment in Graupner props was fantastic - even vibration is better.... Please don't risk it!

Gopro in Somerset This a still from my brothers 450 in Somerset. The GoPro curved horizon is evident, but its a fab photo. Gopro was set to 2sec photos, I wore the FatSharks and gave directions to my bro..... if you can name the village, you get mega brownie points rich

Folks, In error I posted this on the DJI thread.... Just wondering if anyone can help re flying in France? Dear all, I am planning a quad battlefield trip to Northern France in April 2013. I currently fly a x650/Wookong and a DJI 550 Naza GPS etc. Both are controlled on FRSKY 2.4Ghz and...

Bowley, your help on this forum was invaluable. I was so grateful! It has been a lot of hours getting the x650 ready, but it was worth every second of work.

Xaircraft 650 v8 also pimped!!! I have just modified my XAircraft 650 v8. I will post better photos when I can, but the result is the most perfect quadcopter that I have flown. I added the following: Wookong M Torxpower 2216 800s turnigny 30amp ESCs Graupner eProp 10s Spacers and a new...

Really sorry to hear about your burglary. I so hope that the blood provides DNA and the scumbag is apprehended. I will keep my eyes out, despite the fact I am 3000 miles away in the freezing UK. Wishing you the best of hope for their return, it's such specialised gear, it's going to be very...

I have had great results with my go pro hero 2, Naza and aeroxcraft mount. I really recommend the combination, bolted to a 550. I would strongly recommend filming in good light as if you want nice, still images at dusk, the images just appear blurred and pants! The summer higher sun definitely...

Thanks Bowley, it looks like you have a good setup. Good point about the chaffing wires. I have the wire mesh protectors, hence will be using that. I was planning on carrying a DSLR, hence the reason for the substantial ESCs. The extra payload will require more than 12 amps, according to my...

Upgrading X650 V8 Hi I am in the process of upgrading my my X650 v8 value, due to issues of reliability. Of note, whilst taking the quad apart, three of eight XAircraft props showed imminent signs of failure in the hubs (please take note).. The 'guts' of the x650 including autopilot, 1212...

I have a very similar setup to yours. I personally use a GoPro Hero 2 (on an aeroxcraft) which does a fabulous job at both video and still photography. Do be warned though, in poor light, the photos regularly appear blurred and dull. I use the gopro as my eyes for FPV and it is great, as long as...

Dear all, I am planning a quad battlefield trip to Northern France in February 2013. I currently fly a x650/Wookong and a DJI 550 Naza GPS etc. Both are controlled on FRSKY 2.4Ghz and equipped with EZ OSDs and Immersion RC 5.8 Ghz 600 mw transmitters (and GoPro Hero 2).. I have to stress...

Malc To save some hassle, I have posted an ad on BMFA. Someone hopefully will respond! Best wishes Rich

If money were no object......!?! If money were no object (I know that we are in a recession!) what would be the ultimate DJI 450 FPV setup? I'm thinking GoPro Hero 3 but would really like to know what you think about motors, ESCs controllers, downlink etc... Haleswoodcrew SEP Flying...

I want to stress that I am completely impartial to any particular quad manufacturer... My advice to you is to ensure that you have the ability to get spares easily - the inevitable will happen and if you end up waiting for spares for two weeks, it is really annoying! I would opt for a DJI 450...

Many thanks Kloner, that is very useful. I will give it a go....

Looking for a little advice... I have a GoPro Hero 2 which has the latest upgrade, which I use on my DJI 550. Does anyone have any good ideas which is the optimum setting for autumn/winter flying in the UK? Current I'm running 1080i 30fps, but wondering if i could optimise picture quality...

Just a thought but you could put an ad on the BMFA WEBSITE. There is someone who is going to be extremely happy. I am still missing a 450 in Cobham, Surrey
