A casual conversation with an interested observer at a recent outing brought up the gem that he had seen these 'quadcopter things' before. One was being used by the owner of a camp site in SW France to check the status of his 1000 odd pitches so he could rapidly see if campers had checked out...

This is the BBC news link. Look at the price and then think what a bargain your Flamewheel and Naza is. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-18812128 What I did notice at the show is that every body and his dog is slinging a optical sensor under anything that can get off the ground, with or...

fantastic imagery there AV8Chuck! and a great soundtrack. well done! Lec

we use one of these. Not sue if it's under $100 though!

+1 on this. Never looked back since changing over to them. andy

Saw this at the Farnborough Airshow and it has been featured on BBC news. Specs are rather interesting Hate to think what the price is ! http://www.a3r.it/public/en/Products/uavs.html

Ross, nice set of pics. Really like the Rafale with the deep compression clouds. The last time I saw an explosion like that at RIAT was when 2 Mig 29s collided ! Guess it was the Tornado role demonstration show piece. Just to give a civilian balance, I was at Farnborough this week. The flying...

I checked my mail the other day & saw a message from a california state college & an attached video message from their students. below is the link..I'm thinking this could be the first ever case of multi rotor spam mail! be kind! http://bit.ly/MzGFgs It did amuse me though.Lec

What happens if the camera is fixed directly to the platform rather than on the vibration isolation pads ? The gel may prevent the movement of the mass of the camera being correctly interpreted by the Skyline. andy

and lemon drizzle cake .... Count us in andy

The LED transistor is an option on the hexa PDB to allow the LEDS to be switched on/off from the Flight Controller. The Octo PDB seems to lack this feature and the LEDs are simply powered straight from the battery. For the Octo you need to use the Extension PCB (Link), this gives an additional...

We suffered a similar burnout on our y6 last month. A LED strip had it's connecting wires pulled in a heavy landing and the power to it was short circuited by the carbon fibre frame. The LED drive transistor went up in smoke. It was the weakest link in the circuit, perhaps on your's it was the...

Hi Benjamin. outstanding work there. really like the high shot. you'd be hard pushed to set it apart from a genuine heli with that stability. well done! Lec

Having suffered an embarrassing battery failure over the weekend we've been looking for viable alternatives, might have just found one. ... ummm... maybe a slight power to weight ratio problem? andy

Supergravy ... nice shots. After a quick read of Wikipedia, it seems you are not the only one to take a potshot at Fort Stevens .... it was the only continental US military establishment shelled by the Japs in WW2 ! andy

Thank you Photo Higher for putting your head above the trench and into the direct line of fire. We have been waiting some little while for the RSGS to make it to market, intending to be one of the first users but have been truly taken aback by the user experiences posted here and elsewhere. A...

We now use a 3 lobe skew planar on the Tx and a 4 lobe plus a patch antenna on the diversity Rx. Performance improved by an order of magnitude over the rubber duck/ patch setup. As with all things radio, it is not perfect. We still get some breakup on the picture which causes the Lilliput grief...

Motor alignment is vitally important in Y6 /X8 configurations (bad experiences there!) but I'd say less so in flat configurations. If motors are not all vertical you get an unwanted yaw component but thats not the problem here. It looks like vibration from unbalanced props that is causing the...

totally impressed andy
