    Thanks chaps! It was quite stressful to get that. I had to fly constantly for an hour as the sun went down hoping the clouds and sun would do their thing!

    The ALL New DJI S900 Hexacopter!

    Yes, it includes motors and ESCs as they are integrated into the frame. Why wouldn't you use a WKM? They're great! I'm sure they'll offer it as a frame only also. Remember, they are not on sale yet so you'll only see the package deals on offer at this stage.

    FPV Set Ups

    I use an ImmersionRC 5.8GHz transmitter and a black pearl monitor. No complaints.

    The ALL New DJI S900 Hexacopter!

    Yeah, it looks like it's going to be tight on the weight front. I think it might be a single lipo setup to keep it down. It weighs 3.3kg whereas my original S800 is 2.6kg. The EVO is 3.7kg so there is a small weight saving in comparison.

    2-man operation

    Everyone flies with FPV! How on earth would you frame a shot otherwise? I think you are thinking I'm sitting there with goggles on or something, wrong! Why does everyone get so confused by the term FPV, it just means video transmission. I have a monitor on a tripod which I glance at every now...

    2-man operation

    You can both share the monitor if you like. I prefer to give the cam-op some goggles so they don't get distracted. Or, they use the monitor/goggles and I use these Pirate-Eye sunglasses which have a small monitor built into the corner of them.

    The ALL New DJI S900 Hexacopter!

    Looks lovely doesn't it. I like the removable top plate for placing your electronics easily. The DJI S800 EVO is now discontinued for those who haven't heard.

    2-man operation

    That's the million dollar question. It is stressful with one man and it usually takes a couple of goes to get it with one man. Saying that, I have been doing one-man for a year and a half with great success, but I think it is down to the transmitter I use to be honest as the control arrangement...

    Hi form Oxford England

    Welcome to the forum mate! :nevreness: What problems are you having with the A2? What work are you hoping to do with it (I assume filming and photography)?

    3 rapid violet flashes on A2 on startup ?????

    Sounds normal to me. My WKM is three flashes even though the manual says six.

    A picture I took this week of the London skyline at sunset. Edited in Lightroom and stitched with Photoshop. GH2 with 14mm as usual.

    DJO A2 Can Bus Recommended Order

    Hey mate, Firstly, avoid powering up your Zenmuse without the signal lead connected to the flight controller. It needs that information to maintain it's hold. Could you explain drifting and erratic behaviour? Also, how can you connect them in different ways? There's surely only one correct way.

    Johnny Dronehunter - Phantom Blaster

    That was brilliant! I can't believe how quiet that shotgun was, what an awesome suppressor it has!

    Wookong M compass will not calibrate correctly.

    I personally have had a great time with 5.26 this year. Not a single issue. I would leave the gimbal and props on. You may have to stretch your arms a bit but in my opinion the aircraft should be entirely flight ready when you do the calibration. Just keep trying, it'll come together...

    CAA Information Notice - Future requirement for a safety case assessment

    Email Lawrence Hay at the CAA with a plan and a rough safety case. Avoid asking questions and use maps, Scribble Maps are great. Don't expect a quick response so plan early, he's a very busy man by the sounds of it!

    How would the DJI Ronin mount to a Multi Rotor?

    I'd wait to be honest. The figures don't quite add up at the moment.

    CAA Information Notice - Future requirement for a safety case assessment

    Yeah, I know what you mean. It's only when you compare a sub 7kg to an over 7kg permissions that you see the difference.

    CAA Information Notice - Future requirement for a safety case assessment

    Maybe have a read of the document this entire thread refers to, it explains all this. Here it is again: http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/InformationNotice2014115.pdf Sub 7kg have a 50m radius from congested areas (Section 3.2).
