    Question regarding carbon fibre frame

    You're probably okay to enlarge the holes a little, but be careful as they're quite near the edge of the frame. Maybe some gentle filing?

    A heli tour of the SF Bay Area

    That was brilliant footage mate! MRs have a lot to compete with and learn from you full size guys!

    First pic of the Z15

    No, you're all good. I use a GH2 which has a direct link to the shutter control. Not sure about the Sonys but I think the Zen has a built-in IR shutter control. Correct me if I'm wrong. PS - Feel free to start new topics. Drugging through these olds posts to get to your one new entry is a bit...

    Please don't fly over the public mate. You won't win any friends here otherwise. Great footage! :02.47-tranquillity:

    Has anyone mounted three 2200mha three cell batteries on a DJI 450?

    I went that route then at first (2x3S) as I had lots lying around then changed to 4S. What a difference! Twice the flight time and less current draw and the motors/ESC/Lipos don't even get warm.

    Batteries and what I found

    I think brand is very important. Your lipos are the life of your multi. It's not like you can glide home if they fail:nevreness:. I go 40C as the higher C ratings tend to be better quality overall. I went with GensAce last year and have now spend over £1000 on them as they just last and are...

    From your transmitter. Just set it up and you're ready to go. All in the manual. You can even just plug another receiver into it and have a cameraman take control if you like.

    ASSISTANT SOFTWARE... DO I REALLY NEED to go there?

    I personally wouldn't even fly a rig if I hadn't checked it on the assistant software first. Maybe that's just me. Not sure about the Phantom though.

    center of gravity ?

    Pick it up. Balance on your fingers. Simple. If you add a bunch on weight underneath it lowers the COG a bit. Add on top raises it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    I've been having problems for the last week. Threads won't update. I delete and reinstall the app and it works for a day only to cease working again. Get that 'API has expired' message also. Don't worry Bart, it's them not you.

    Small drone crashes in NY city

    I can't believe he was flying in manual mode. His take off attempts are bad enough but it looks like he got it up and then couldn't work out what to do with it, hence the random tilting here and there. I was well impressed by those prop guards! And no, the FAA probably can't do anything. Here's...

    Problem with dji Evo2 S800

    Hey Chris, Just out of interest do you generally increase or decrease your gains for windy conditions? Cheers!

    Problem with dji Evo2 S800

    Fair enough. If it works for you stick with it. I also have the IMU (V1) and have not had a problem with it. Good luck mate!

    Problem with dji Evo2 S800

    Can't tell what the problem is but your gains are quite high. I use a lot less. About 130% to 160%. And 100% for attitude gains. I find the S800 gets twitchy with high gains. Hope this helps. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

    Howdy. I live in the Cotswolds, a beautiful part of the world in England. I imagine the house is a couple of hundred years old? Most houses are round here. I'm afraid I cheated and used the YouTube stabilisation feature. It vaguely works if your not looking for pro results. Alas lots of vibes...

    Bnuc-s

    Try ResourceUAS. Their RPQ-S qualification fills in a lot of the blanks left out by EuroUSC. They help with your operations manual (which you don't even need for the flight test!) and the price is all inclusive (£1300). The course is a bit longer (3 days) and they are long days with only a few...

    And here's a lake just opposite my new place. Second time flying over water but relaxing a bit with it. Cheers!

    No audio alert when Wookong-M powers up

    I can only find posts that say its the motor that beeps. The ESC generates the waveform which causes the motor to produce the beep. A speaker has coils of wires and a magnet, just like a motor. No cone to amplify the sound though. Shame, we could make our helis produce some awesome kicking tunes...
