    Test Flight 10th December 2012

    This is my test flight today after repairing the quad after the nasty crash I had in November. Theres something not right with it, but Im not sure what.

    I'm up and running finally!

    Well, after way too much time away from home, I'm finally back and the quad has been repaired, I think. 1x arm, 1x esc, 1x motor, 1x 8" prop and 1x TeamFTP leg and some careful testing in the Naza Assistant and I think I'm ready to go. I just need to refit the Go-Pro and wait for some good...

    Stripping and cleaning motors

    Given my recent incident with the ground, I'm left with a motor covered in mud. Does anyone here know how to strip down and clean DJI motors? I will probably be purchasing a new motor anyway, but I believe it would be adequate as a spare. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    'twas abit windy!

    Here's footage of me and my mate having a quick fly yesterday. It must have been blowing 20 mph but the Naza and GPS seemed to cope quite well, although the video is a bit lopsided in parts. It was an enjoyable afternoon anyway, even considering I had a little crash (it's not on this vid)...

    Ok, I've got a future project in mind which I would really like to use droidworx airframes on. The airframe would need to be able to carry a minimum of a 2 axis camera mount system, possibly the Z15 or a PH system and an NEX 5n, I know a lot of airframes can carry that at this moment in time...
