Even though others have replied, I'm from Milton Keynes, UK!

Excellent stuff, what software did you use for the interactive 3D 'stitch' ? Thanks Lee.

Hi Dave... Hi Dave, I live in MK! Just getting to grips with MR and using the forum for advice, photos, design ideas etc. It has already proved invaluable. I too have purchased stuff from Flying Wings (looked into foamies a little while back!). I'm hoping to start an aerial photography...

Count me in... Not going to creep, only do that to the wife when I'm after a golf week/end away!!!

Agree with both, interestingly I suspect blade guards could also used be in the form of ducts to give some aerodynamic advantage and as well as reduce/eliminate tip wash and possibly increase the efficiency of the engine (and make things safer as well). Jes1111, with reference to your earlier...

Yep, left a message over the weekend about a frame and no call today, the web site is poor too.. I did look at the Quadcopter which is excellent but it looks like they only stock the Quad frames (the name is a bit of a giveaway!) and I was after a price for the ADX-3 HL. I'll speak to them...

Hi all, It would be useful to me if we could start a list of UK suppliers (together with their website details) for buying the popular and maybe not so popular items. For me I'm going to be looking for a Droidworx frame (and there are two distributors in the UK listed on their website) as...

I've never flown MR (won't be too long hopefully) but I have flown planes (electric, diesel and slope soarers). I learn't to fly on a simulator and my first ever flight was solo. (Good for the adrenaline!). I have only ever written off two aircraft with lessons that are not immediately apparent...

I have to agree with your comments on OpenPilot, it does look really interesting and in the mid to long term will almost certainly compete with MK. I would never underestimate the capability of a team of like minded, focused and intelligent individuals. (You only have to look at the success of...

@jes1111 Just what I was thinking!.... :)

Thanks to everyone for some very interesting posts, it looks to me like there is no such thing as a perfect design, there will always be compromises with different solutions and it is picking the compromises that you can live with and those that you can't. For me, having read through all the...

Mat, I'm not in any particular hurry, I would rather wait and build the right design with the right gear than rush in. Very happy to wait for the comparison....

Absolutely agree with your point on maintenance and quality but even with these things do go wrong occasionally - just look at real aircraft. Coming from the plane world there is the luxury of knowing that at least the thing glides if you lose the engine, with helis there is auto-rotation...

Yes Ken, I agree the point about the torque on the arms is neutral and I hadn't really thought of it that way. On a flat 8 the torque of each of the arms should make the entire frame neutral (obviously) but each arm of the frame has both a lateral and vertical force, on the x8 the only force is...

Some really interesting stuff here already, especially some of the links to video and websites. @Droider, thanks for the link to the Reece2 build, it looks excellent and I'm going to review in detail later night. @Mat, I have to say I didn't really consider the X8 configuration although the...

All, What a great site, so many useful threads and posts. After reading many of these over the last few days I wanted to share my thoughts so far for your comments and advice. Before I go into the details and reasoning I think it worth mentioning that my personal requirement is for a craft...

Thanks guys, still finding my way around the system but am already finding all the information really really useful. I am looking at building an aerial photography platform (probably based around the A8HL frame from what I've been reading) but don't want to jump in without reading all about...
