    XAircraft Xaircraft in UK

    Yes but still no UK competition and delivery for my SuperX was an eye watering £23. I was hoping to work with a reseller who had good sales throughput and the potential to be palmed off with old stock, as I was, would not be an issue.

    XAircraft Xaircraft in UK

    Xaircraft.co.uk lists the 650 pro as new lower price for 2014 but has just upped the price by about 10% to £750 from £680. I recently bought a SuperX from them that was old stock V1 not V2 and previously opened. Anthony at Xaircraft Australia kindly sent me the V2 IO. I'm reluctant to by...

    First UK conviction for illegal use of an unmanned aircraft by the CAA.

    Can I just say that you don't need to be RPQ-S Certified to know what's dangerous, you simply need a functioning brain!

    Unfortunate event as Triathlete sustains head injuries from drone

    Australian runner hit by UAV http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-26921504 This isn't going to help us. I never fly over people and don't know anyone that would.

    XAircraft Xaircraft kit in Canada

    www.gogohobbies.com are pretty good and not far from my lad in Coquitlam and it'd be great if they started to supply Xaircraft kit in Canada. I'm with you on the on-line sales only but here in the UK we have lots of RC stores and I like to visit in person to pick up expensive kit. That way you...

    XAircraft GPS riser or not included?

    Hi fellers, yeah I've done without a riser too. My DJI Naza GPS's are on risers and I thought it would be better to put the XA GPS puck higher and away from other electronics but I too have discovered it works without lifting up. I do like this SuperX though, I really want to see XA do well...

    XAircraft Xaircraft kit in Canada

    No, unfortunately not. One can only speculate as to why no-one got back to me. Anthony at Xaircraft Australia, who I might add is seriously helpful, said that they didn't have a reseller in Canada but that there were a few companies in the US who could supply into Canada. To be honest, I...

    XAircraft GPS riser or not included?

    Ah, sorry rwilabee, I cited XaircraftAmerica's comment that the pole is included thinking they were speaking for SuperX, the product. On reflection, Drew was putting distance between his company and other Xaircraft resellers in the US. We need more competition here in the UK. Everyone needs a...

    XAircraft GPS riser or not included?

    The sole UK distributor is on holiday from 20th March to 12th April so I am unable to obtain a comment. What I was doing is gathering accurate information about what should have been included in the SuperX box so that I could accurately take that up with the distributor. It may be that the...

    XAircraft GPS riser or not included?

    It states on XaircraftAmerica's site:- "XAircraft SuperX is a new generation of multicopter flight control system. You can download the 1.9 SuperX Manual - English Here. All SuperX sold include the GPS riser pole unlike our competition!" I received my SuperX without the pole and there seems...

    XAircraft Xaircraft kit in Canada

    I will be in Vancouver in very early May and am toying with either taking a 650 Pro w/SuperX from here in the UK or better still, is there a supplier in the Vancouver area that I could buy from whilst there? I asked Xaircraft America whether or not they shipped to Canada but no reply so can...

    XAircraft SuperX - red double-flash when in GPS mode.....

    The version 2 as I understand it refers to the IO (Bec)and the only difference between V1 and V2 is SBUS.. IO V1 didn't support SBUS but V2 does whilst the actual FC itself remains the same. But I think you're right Chris, your FC is faulty. Don't give up on Xaircraft though, hitherto I was...

    XAircraft SuperX

    The IO is the BEC - 5.8V. As Kloner said, the manual is explicit, input onto B is 3s to 6s

    Naza v2 malfunction [open ocean crash vid]

    Bloody hell Pangloss, I bet you wished you'd not opened your mouth ha ha. I enjoyed your piece though and found it interesting whether it be pilot error or not, who cares, you shared it in good faith. But how boring it must be to live ones' life always within the envelope. Dave

    Naza v2 malfunction [open ocean crash vid]

    It's only a theory but this has happened to me a few times and only when it was very gusty. I think the NAZA becomes overwhelmed by the amount of work it has to do and just loses it. It has happened to me also when I first got the Naza ages ago when I tried to defend straight down through it's...

    DJI "NEW" 10" Props

    Yeah you can upgrade to Graupner 10" which is what I use. The Graupners fit the stock DJI motor shaft but the holes are circular and not elongated like the DJI ones. So some people use a washer between the prop hub and the nuts but I don't, I just nip up the nuts pretty tight. Balance your...

    What is accepted as "normal" motor vibration?

    The only thing I like about DJI kit is what the NAZA does, it's capability. I may be wrong but there's nothing to touch it's spec for the same money. BUT, I don't like the motors. Apart from vibrating in some cases quite badly, they don't sound at all healthy. Mine sound like a coffee...
