    Aeronavics / Droidworx Recommended Gimbals - 2014 and the ideal brushless solution

    An open question to DW and other owners.... I built my Droidworx XM X4 with a Photohigher AV130 gimbal in mind. It flys beautifully and I love the way it just floats effortlessly with a Wookong controller calling the shots. But I was never really happy with the combination of the AV130 and...

    Blip - Blank?

    Hey Ozzie fliers, have any of you had any recent dealings with Blip? (http://blip.com.au/default.aspx) I bought some props of them a little while ago and their service was great. BUT I recently tried to order some connectors and a crimp tool ($129 - not exactly a fortune), and..... nothing. My...

    To stabilise or not to stabilise... THAT is the question

    (US viewers please add as many "Z"s as you feel necessary) I have had a couple of really satisfying test flights in the past couple of days. The Brushless gimbal from CopterFrames is working beautifully with my 550d and I am looking at lens options. I like this...

    Dumb Question... trimming my copter for manual mode

    Hi crew, One thing I haven't been able to work out with the Wook is how to trim manual mode (on the Tx) without messing with the really nice GPS locked mode. Other FCs I have flown (like the Hoverfly for instance) have allowed me to setup the trims on my TX and the FC would learn the trimmed...

    ESC Soldering

    Merry Christmas Multi-Rotorers, A few days off work mean I can work on my new DW XM X4 in peace (after the obligatory Boxing Day Sales of course). Today's subject (and the reason for posting here rather than in the DW forum) is a general one about soldering ESC - Motor connections. I have a...

    WKM GPS V2 vs V3

    My WKM should be here today (i hope) I ordered a V2 (advertised as "No Bug"), but since ordering I have seen several sites advertising V3 firmware (sometimes with "AUSTRALIA" in capital letters). Can anyone tell me what the go is here? Is it just a marketing "spin" or is there likely to be a...

    Hoverfly X-Bee expansion

    I have a pair of X-Bee 900 modems left over from previous AeroQuad experiments. The wireless telemetry was kinda cool... Any idea if/when they will be supported (even in beta form) on the HF? Charles.

    Aeronavics / Droidworx XM X4 Build log

    It's a bit premature starting the Build Log with so few parts in hand, but I thought it might be useful to track lead times as well as assembly time. I was going to keep a bit of a track of costs, but my beloved wife Kelly has asked not to know :frog: So..... Stage 1: 22/11/12 AV130 arrives...

    Aeronavics / Droidworx Decisions Decisions...

    Hi Guys, First post in this section so please be gentle :frog: I am still finding my way with AP and video, currently have a Naza controlled quad and a Hoverfly Pro on a Flamewheel hex (still tuning) under development. I plan to end up with a rig that will *safely* fly my 550d on what ever...
