It looks like almost everyone these days uses 2.4Ghz radio control gear but does anyone use other frequency ranges that are legal in the UK ? andy

Yeah Durango has some great downhills and is steeped in history of the sport. I haven't been to the states for any races but the WC circus is in Canada next weekend then I think it is in Windham at the start of July. Droider looked like he was having the time of his life up the hill..except for...

Yes it certainly is the Fort william Dh track. No I didn't get chance to get out and do any flying while any riding is on as I run the live mixing on screen throughout the weekend. Droider & quadcopters were up the hill shooting the action so they should have some good stuff. did you watch the...

no but it fits in the truck!

Not a hi res still but it was quite easy to frame the shot with the new field monitor! Lec

Thanks for the insight. Its always nice to see the other side of the fence. andy

Rather crude censorship there! I don't know how the James Bond fan club forum would survive under this regime andy

At least it is good for another eight crashes ! Is an eight rotor one an octo*****? andy

The art of flight ??? or there's not enough room to swing a cat in here Cat Flap: Dead Pet Turned Into Helicopter Dutchman Bart Jansen stuffed Orville before teaming up with a radio control helicopter expert to attach propellers to each of its four paws. The cat - named after pioneering...

Really nice job there. also very impressed with your flying. Lec

I think it will actually be for best supporting aerial drama ;-)

I'm going to test the water.......Why?

We have used a GentLed IR remote control for our Sony NEX5 and it worked really well. Versions are available for Canon DSLRs. In the last week we have bought a StratoSnapper and are really impressed by it. The ability to reprogram it at will is brilliant. We've checked it out on the NEX5 in all...

Bart, Interesting observation on the inevitability of toilet bowling unless you adjust the gain. In still conditions our Y6 has been pretty steady on PH but in wind it has been toilet bowling so we'll give your suggestion of linking a slider control to the gain a go. A question to ask is, do you...

Welcome to the forum, yet another scientific user to add. Your application is rather interesting, how did you create the fly through ? Are you university based ? What equipment did you use to capture the images ? andy

Jem ... Nice build, welcome to the cult of Y6. andy

Welcome to the forum, it pleases me to see someone using their MR for true scientific work. Its such an obvious tool and so under employed. Any pictures to post ? Any papers published ? andy

Thanks for the responses guys. Pretty much confirmed what I suspected. I'll just try changing the antenna location. andy

Our 5.8GHz video downlink works well 95% of the time but there are times when the cloverleaf antenna is blanked by the frame or camera, etc. Is it practical to have two antenna in separate locations connected by a tee adaptor to the Tx to give better coverage ? andy

We use a 7 inch Lilliput field monitor with a 5.8Ghz Rx/Tx link. Has a built in battery that will last several hours and the screen can be seen in bright sunlight conditions. Very portable and comes with a tripod screw so tou can mount it on a tripod or elsewhere. Do a Google search for them, in...
