Hi Selling a Zenmuse Z15 GH2 Gimbal which is complete with GCU, cables and mounts in original packaging. It also has an unused Secraft GH3 Conversion kit. It is in as new condition, well looked after accident free gimbal and is fully functional. I no longer have a requirement for it, already...

It would appear i am Jinxed. Had my CAA Flight assessment all setup for the 9th of September and 2 days before the assessment my X8 throws out an in flight motor failure and i can't get the parts in time to save the assessment date. OK re schedule get the problem fixed, which i do and the re...

OK i am close to shouting at passing cars here. I am sure i am missing something...But what is it??? I am trying to setup a custom mix in the WKM Assistant (Herkules Double Decker quad arrangement) this is know other have done successfully. i all the motors physically arranged and wired...

I had my first motor out event on Sunday whilst in a stable hover at 280 Feet. A big change in audible motor pitch was the first indicator, like it was fighting a big wind gust (except there was not very much) followed by some very twitchy pitching. I chose to bring the aircraft down and during...

Hi Any recommendations for a good value place to stay in the area where Resource UAS do their Flight assesments? Got mine on the 10th september and meeting at Kemble airfield, i know the assesment is eleswhere but don't know where, seems like they are keeping that part quiet.

Any opinions on the SkyHero Spyder out in the land of "been there, done that" I am looking at the 1000mm X8 in an attempt to get into the sub 7Kg club with a Zenmuse. Anbody built them, flown them? 95% of what i read is positive but i guess it depends on what they are compared with. Thanks

Is any body using the Lilliput 329/DW LCD display on the ground station? http://www.lilliputuk.com/monitors/fpv-monitors/329-DW/ I am thinking of swapping out my existing LCD display which is just not good enough, i cannot see it clearly enough in any kind of sunshine (even the rare stuff we...

I have a question about the RPQ-S flight reference cards that hopefully a RPQ-S holder can assist with. I have a section to complete under "Environmental Operating Limitations" 1. Maximum ceiling height 2.Maximum operating radius, fairly cool with these 2 questions and plan to put down 400ft...

Anybody else here on the RPQS Course in Bournemouth on the 10th - 12th June?

I am got the Futaba Telemetry up and running a few weeks back on the Herkules III (great help from Andreas) and i am much happier now i have a mAh drawn value displayed on the TX LCD Display real time. I have made 5 flight tests noting the consumed current and then a charge cycle on the LiPos to...

I have my WKM Gains on a pot on my Futaba T14SG TX. 0 - 200% on the pot with 100% at the centre. All been fine and Dandy. I recently added Telemetry to my HerkulesIII and swapped out the WKM IMU V1 with a V2 at the same time (as i had the soldering iron out) and on the following test flights i...

Hi I have settled on booking the RPQ-S course and looking at the schedule for 2014 is see there is now a fairly wide choice of Venues. I am leaning towards booking on the Worcester course although the earliest opportunity is August but prepared to wait and practice if this location has facility...

Hi I currently run my SJ X8 with the standard WKM configuration So all top motors run CW and all lower motors run CCW, But i would like to switch it so it runs like 2 stacked quads so alternate motors turn CW then CCW on the top and the same on the bottom as per this diagram. So after...

Not sure if these have been discussed before (appologies if a re post) But i have recently started using one of these to check the 2.4Ghz congestion where i am flying. http://www.wi-spy.co.uk/index.php/products/wi-spy I actually use these in the day job to help manage our WiFi network and it...

Hi A question for BNUC'S/RPQ licence holders. Once and assuming i do pass and get the licence i need to maintain a flight Log to demonstrate recent practice, Right? How is this actually acheived from a practical perspective? I think back to the CAA PPL licence where once qualified you are then...

I have been flying my SJX4 with 2 X 8300 mAh 6S and have decided my Bingo voltage is 22.4 Volts, So when i see this on the down link i bring her in and land. This is after around 8-9 Mins with the all up weight (Z15 and NEX7 Onboard) a mix of hovering, non aggressive maneuvering and climbs to...

I have my Z15N all set up working, except i am currently stuck with the gimbal pointing the camera straight down instead of straight ahead. X3 channel on the Zen controller handle this function and this is mapped to Channel 3 on the Futaba T8J i have dedicated to the Zen. Unfortunately X3 does...

I have been thinking about the best way for me to mount the WK-M compass module. I have it on the mid sized carbon (Errr..Stick) but want to be able to make small rotation adjustments to it if needed, i am considering drilling a 2.5mm hole in the collar that the module sticks to and threading it...
