Another nearly newby from the UK

[Pjtyros]

Hi boys and girls,
My history started with heli flying, I currently hava a Trex 700E F3C and a 450 PRO.
I also fly planks.
My first interest in multirotors was with the Xaircraft X650 and the X450. I departed from the Xaircraft club because of the total rubbish Gps rip off.
I now have two MK's, a basic quad with navi and Gps and a Hexa XL, again with Gps, my interest is AP and I use a Canon G12 running CHDK script and a GoPro.
A real steep learning curve with the MK but woth it.
Been lurking here for a while, can I say a real good natured bunch here.
Cheers
Paul

Hi Ross, I just edited my profile. I am at Ferndown just outside of Bournemouth. I think Barnstable is a long way from here but you are welcome to come and fly anytime. I am no expert but I do have my head around the software, updating etc so if I can help I would be only too pleased.
Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul, I know Ferndown very well, was stationed at Blandford in the early eighties for a few years...love Wimbourne, Poole & the local area. I will keep you in mind for when the big business of installing software etc comes around
Enjoy your stay on this forum, its probably the best there is to be honest, great bunch of guys & some with really good experience (not me of course )

Regards
Ross

Hi Dave
Yes it would be great to meet up if you get down to this neck of the woods. I have read many of your posts and I am sure I will be picking your brains!!!! I have been flying a few years, heli's mainly,
but looked at the MK's a couple of years ago but thought they were too expensive so last year I got the Xaircraft X650 and although not a bad quad it is light years behind MK. I got the MK quad about 4 months ago and just love it. I added navi and gps. When the chance came to get a Hexa XL I snapped it up. I have been playing with fpv on the quad and use the hexa for ap, it is a steep learning curve but at least the MK does what it says on the tin.
