We are running a MK Hexa 2 with Full MK electronics. We just added GPS and had the first test flight using it and the new Graupner MX20 yesterday and was suitably impressed even in the high wind. Only a few weeks ago I was driving back and saw the sun setting over the lake, had the copter in...

Yes, I see your van quite often so next time a grey Freelander flashes you its just me. andy

Hi and welcome to the forum... It came as a complete surprise that someone else in Nantwich was into multicopters. We're 3 miles south of you, small world isn't it ? andy

close but our's have to line up and take their turn

Bart... That's a serious number of batteries. I feel humbled already. andy

I'm just preparing things for a day's flying and it struck me I have a table top full of things just charging .. Flight batteries Downlink Tx battery Down link Rx battery Field monitor Camera battery Transmitter I'm sure this is not as many as some people so I'd be interested to know who holds...

Plingboot.. Yes, GPS shield is fitted and today's the day for the first test flight. Fingers crossed. Close to a window inside it will pickup 5 or 6 satellites but further into the room 1 or none. The original problem was due to not having set the DX7 3 way switch (off-PH-CH) up correctly. I had...

David .... Google translate is a wonderful tool. Just copy and cut text from the eBay page and paste into the translate window ... hey presto english give or take a bit. http://translate.google.com Here's the main text Offered here is a new cnc machined camera holder with belt (belt drive) for...

Passing through T5 on Sunday. I'll keep an eye out for your handiwork. andy

This scary ? andy

Now then.... will it have a set of MK or WK electronics ? Discuss ...

Already done !

Very good Jake. I can see some collaborations coming on! Do you know anyone with dry ice?

Another gem from Gary Mortimer's susasnews site Perhaps the next UK fly-in could try to match this

Thanks guys for the info. Seems like a good way to go. Just have to get the GPS working as it should... seems to have a mind of its own at the moment. andy

Gunter This a link to the finished advert. I've only see short versions of it on TV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiJ4T3E-NM8 Its really good, wish I'd thought of the idea first. Like you I can't remember who it was actually for, too busy watching the video. andy

Thanks Dave The interest is prompted because we now have GPS and have run out of channels on our DX7. You need a 3 position programmable switch for camera tilt control and now another one for GPS control. Having another few knob controls looks useful for parameter tweaking and telemetry has...

If there is anyone out there still interested in MikroKopter stuff, I have a question. Has anyone used a Graupner MX20 Tx with any MK copter and FCv0.86 ? If so what has your experience been like and did you use the telemetry feature.

An idea picked up at the UK MultiRotor meet which works... If you want accurate framing for the NEX-5N, add a small video camera mounted behind the NEX-5N looking at it's LCD monitor. Thanks to the lads from Bridgend - midnight999 - for that.
