Just had a quick look at the DJI web site and used their ZenMuse manuals for both the original GH2 and the new GH3 versions. The way they are hung to their support rails has changed .... DJI inconsistency again .. so the Droidworx plate you have will fit the old version but not the new. I hope...

Simple question... Does the Jeti SAT1/2 connections on a R18 receiver allow you to connect a DJI A2 flight controller using ppm ? andy

Details here. I have used the connector they also sell with perfect results. http://chargeconverter.com/blog/?p=130 andy

A point to remember, its not the camera which is set level it's the sensor board. Why not mount this at minus the required angle and the camera should point where you want. andy

Bart Thanks for the reply. Its sort of what I expected. There's no crying need for them but if they're there it does looks more 'techie'. After pondering for a while and shifting the rings on the leads I did get it fairly neat but it still takes up as much volume under the dome so I'll follow...

Continuing my X4 build I've come to tidying up the wiring and the messiest bits are the ferrite rings on the KopterWorx 60A ESCs. Are these really necessary with DJI WKM flight controllers? There's eight of them and the ferrites take up a fair amount of the limited space under the dome. If they...

Try http://www.lightingforaeromodellers.co.uk/ Wacky web site but good to deal with. andy

Dave ... From my reading of the A2 manual it seems as if you will never get more than the eight channels required by the A2 for sticks, gps select, gimbal control if you use the DSM2 satellites. So if you want LANC, LED on/off, shutter control, etc you're b*****red unless you can use...

Dave ... Rather than wait for DJI, could you use a Futaba SBE-1 S.bus adaptor. It seems to do the same as the DJI vapour ware. http://www.fast-lad.co.uk/store/product_info.php?products_id=15947 andy

Dave ... Try KingsLynn Model Shop http://www.kingslynnmodelshop.co.uk/Radio-2.4_Flight_Receivers-Spektrum/c29_100_315/index.html?page=2 seems like they have DSM2 satellites but you need to make sure. andy

If the gimbal 3rd axis motor is attached to the copter by its bell, the gimbal is attached to the coil section and all the control electronics plus Rx, videoTx, LiPo, etc are mounted on the gimbal then nothing needs to go past the 3rd axis. This suits two man operation but a bit of fudging with...

Some motor manufacturers are beginning to offer hollow shafts, do a Google search to find them. andy

I am well into a Droidwrox X8 build and intend to use their recommended arm folding arangement for transport. This involves removing the outer boom fittings and pivoting the arms on the inner ones so they lay along side each other. Coaxial craft really do require almost perfect vertical...

Dave ... Spektrum satellites come in two flavours, We have one that is simply labeled DSM2 and others that are marked with a large X. I've always thought that one is DSM2 and the other DSMX. They do not seem to be interchangable. May be worth checking yours. andy

Dave ... How about a photo pointing away from the Y6s so we can see your magnificent workshop. I know it puts McClaren's F1 team to shame so share it with the rest of us. cheers andy

As noted on the Show What You Filmed thread, Droider Dave has been involved with a BBC production 'Harvest' . From their web site I got this link, have fun trying to spot the drone. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01f144b/features/pano-vegetables andy

+1, didn't realise cabbages could be so interesting ! andy

Final update ... Zen arrived today. andy

A longer look around carvec's web site will give quite a good overview of whats on offer. It does look like the Radian was designed as a single 3 axis controller and John gives a good explanation as to why that never quite happened ..... out of true pulley wheels. My initial feeling is that it...

Thanks for the update Geoff. andy
