    Aeronavics / Droidworx Upgrading AD6 Ver 1 to all the new goodies.

    Hi Dave The height from ground to top of dome is 500 mm, a little bit taller than with the old legs. Still having fun wiring all the hanging on bits up so not back in the air yet. andy

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Upgrading AD6 Ver 1 to all the new goodies.

    You can hang the battery on the gimbal mount but it will be on the camera side of the anti-vibration mounts. You will have to careful not to compromise the isolation with the battery cables,etc. If you have a separate gimbal battery, its an excellent place to mount it. The quick release is part...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Upgrading AD6 Ver 1 to all the new goodies.

    You wanted pics so here they are ... Droidworx supply everything you need to attach the upgrade bits with the kit. You do recycle a few of the original mounting bolts. As you can see Dave we went tippy toed again. Prevents the CX730 hitting the ground when tilted down. andy

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Droiderbuilt SkyJib Lite 4x

    It just a small black ABS box. A company called Hammond make them and can be obtained in the UK from RS components or Farnell. Maplin also have a range. Elsewhere I'd hope local electronics suppliers are a source. I've always used the 1551 series plastic boxes. See...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Upgrading AD6 Ver 1 to all the new goodies.

    Josh ... We've an AV130 2 axis gimbal fitted to our AD3. On the new vibration isolated mount it has to be screwed on rather than use the existing grommet holes of the AV130 so the gimbal is hard mounted to the new Droidworx gimbal plate. This plate appears to have holes to suit a 360 mount...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Upgrading AD6 Ver 1 to all the new goodies.

    We've just started down this route. We went for all new undercarriage so out has gone the original landing legs and in has gone easily detachable landing leg assembly and vibration isolated gimbal mounting gear. We're in the middle of getting it all attached to the original AD3HX body, so far it...

    This seems like the perfect place to introduce myself!

    Hey there. I was going to say you already have the transmitter so it would just be the case of another receiver and setup a new model. I would defiantly suggest a F450 Flamewheel/Naza kit and build it yourself as they are around that kind of price range and will carry a GoPro no probs and are...

    This seems like the perfect place to introduce myself!

    Hey guys good to see some new faces. My best piece of advice to yourselves is to get a smaller quad to practice and refine your skills . A few hundred pounds on a flamewheel or similar will seem small fry if you have a heavy landing with the big bird. Looking forward to hearing your progress...

    Practical guidelines for self-regulation of sUAS ops

    For those in the States and elsewhere, a look at the UK sUAV aerial work permissions is worthwhile. All in all they are a very sensible and thought out set of guidelines. It boils down to learn air law, air navigation charts, write an operations manual and then take a test to demonstrate you do...

    As a long time observer of this thread, can I throw in this point ... Everyone seems to expect the software to come right someday but surely its just masking deficiencies in the hardware . Isn't it time for PH to admit defeat and create a true version 2 hardware rather than endlessly just tinker...

    Efliernz .... Its been 16 years since I last heard two Merlins in full song flying over my house on its way to the next airshow from their home at Broughton, UK. I was devastated when it crashed, I am so jealous you not only get to hear two Merlins but two Cheetahs as well. Kiwis seem to have...
