Thanks Paul. I wanted to know if it showed up or not.

Er, there's no quick checking the assistant. Go through it slowly and properly. The important bit: Which transmitter are you using? Calibrated it yet?

Welcome Pete! Good luck with the build. It's a steep learning curve at first but worth it! :nevreness:

Are you sure it won't show up on my Vimeo page?

Well said that man! I used to say that helicopters were stable and fast, but now MRs can be just as stable and fast with the correct set-up. Often more so.

Anytime. I spend my free time on the forum as you learn so much here. MultiRotorForums.com rules! I would increase your gains a bit. I believe the default is 100% which would make it look wobbly in-flight. You can try 120% across the board to start with and then adjust them in between flights...

My GensAce from March last year have had well over 100 cycles. They are the same as the day I bought them. Same IR, same flight times. I honestly can't fault them. I have 12 and they all perform exactly the same.

Restricted airspace. I looked on the map ans was a little shocked to see all the red warnings pop up. It's the testing ground for full-size drones! And artillery, and helicopters!

Sounds like a new lipo thing. 3.75v is as low as you should go anyway.

I put my speed down as 40mph. I've gone that fast before with the iOSD showing 40mph. That was flat out in GPS mode. Could probably go faster in manual mode, but that's not for me. For the altitude, I just found the highest point in Europe and added 400ft. You're good to go anywhere then...

It took some planning, but not by me. Someone called and I went there and filmed. We decided on the shots whilst in flight. All I had to do was call the MoD and say we were filming with a UAV, but since it was early in the morning they had no problem as the heliport didn't start up till 8am...

Welcome! It's a steep learning curve at first but when it starts to flatten out you're on top of the world! :nevreness:

You may have to make many adjustments to your setup depending on what electronics you have and you'd likely have to change your props. What is the rating of your motors? I mean what input voltage can they handle? Same for ESCs Agree with CC, it would be easier to just add more mah, then you...

That is some killer landscapes you've got there! You're spoilt for choice! Welcome to the forum mate! :nevreness:

Sounds like gains. What gains have you programmed in? And what gains does the manual tell you to program in?

Steve mate, we both understand what you are saying. Please stop repeating it. To flatten around the middle is to make it non-linear. Ed just mentioned expo as a side note.

Hey mate. Well, it's not in a bad position. What antennas have you got on your receiver (rx) and what receiver have you got? The rx antennas are the most important. I highly recommend a patch antenna of some sort.

Wouldn't take long to pay that off really. 6 well paid shoots and you'd break even. Even for a cheap chap it would take maybe 12 shoots. Then there's the rest of your life to make money. How much does University cost these days? And you forgot to look at ResourceUAS. £1300 all in.

Hmmm, nice idea but what about inertia when your motors are slowing down? Wouldn't the props just spin off? Great solution otherwise.

As always, thanks Quinton! Watermarked now.
