Another nice evening. must be a record for the UK! Lec

I'm up for giving it a a go. I actually know someone who will be the torch bearer so I could capture that. let the fun begin. just hope i don't blow it out id i get too close!

Hey everyone. Ok so the Y6 has been out and about for a number of flights and performance and power wise it is great however as most MR's it has its little niggles. just wondering if I threw some of them out there then i can solve/improve them. Firstly it does have a tendency to drift in neutral...

Thanks Ross I will do. Lec

its just wrong on so many levels! @ dave Are you running clover leaf antennas? we have a 3 leaf on the Tx (100Mw) but if we put the 4 leaf any of the receiver aerials it won't pick up a thing. running a patch & omni works fine though. We did hear that the aerials may be tuned to a certain...

The sky was super here tonight. wind was pretty blustery but i managed to get a few shots before the sheep were totally spooked!. Lec

Hey Dave what sort of heights / distances were you getting with your fpv setup as the shots seem to be from a good altitude? maybe some more detailed shots of the crap factory will satisfy jake!:shame: Lec

Check the motor current and BL temperatures, especially in the lead up to the yaw. If one BL/motor is having problems it will show up here. Our Y6 had a yaw problem that was finally tracked down to motors set out of vertical. I don' think this is your problem but in the log files I could see...

Have you looked at hydraulic/pneumatic pipe clamps like these http://www.bearingboys.co.uk/Standard_Single_Clamp_Body_Set_-_Polypropylene-2365-c andy

Geoff... Its my first experience of ESCs and what a pain it was compared with the MK BLs. Programming 6 ESCs by listening for the correct beeps takes an age. I left most things at default but changed the timing to high and the switching frequency to 16 kHz. The start up was left set to mid speed...

So we gutted the old MK Hexa to create the Droidworx Y6 .... what to do next ? Take the frame and motors, add 6 ESCs and a Naza controller. Dig out the old Spektrum DX7 Tx & Rx. Throw in a few left over MK and Droidworx bits. Construct a power distribution ring out of a small plastic box, glass...

This seems a bit more stable than a ZenMuse ..... maybe ! cheers andy

Hi Ross.Thanks alot. I know the last was 250meters and the second I would guess around 200. It's the highest I've ever taken photos from but with the clover antennae the feed was flawless. Maybe i'll try and photograph something abit more exciting over the next few days. Lec

Hey Midnight we were thinking you had disappeared good to see you're still flying! Nothing that exciting from today as I'm still trimming the Y6 except that I seem to be keeping the COE stocked with pictures of their churches! Lec.

try this to help with the warren .... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2umEFHeo6mw might be the only thing to do ! We'll wait a few weeks before updating, never like being a beta tester for rather expensive kit. andy

So, who is going to brave enough to try it out first ? For once MK have gotten ahead of themselves with some documentation on the Wiki. Start here http://www.mikrokopter.de/ucwiki/en/MK-Parameter and click on Camera, Misc, etc to see their explanation of the new features. Good to see us old...

Ross... I am going to assume your retract unit works in a similar way to a GentLED shutter release, that is it simply needs a servo full travel command to operate and will lower the undercarriage at servo zero travel. 1. Link Servo3 to a Poti. I've used Poti 4 for my GentLED. Do this on the...

The Windows GPX reader is a pain to use but the only way to easily interpret the data. I have found you can open the data file using MS Excel 2010 Starter on a Windows7 PC and get tabular data so I tried Excel2004 on the Mac and it presented the same undelineated rubbish you saw. I wonder if the...

So the left hand hasn't caught up with the right hand ! Also, if you get paid for anything make sure its 1 beer bottle short of a crate full. andy

UK MR flyers should read this.. words from CAA Latest issue of CAA model flying guidelines, Feb12 Essential reading I reckon. http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/CAP658.PDF
