Dave, my kitchen looks worse than that...all the time! Just never seems enough room with MR aircraft...I've broke 2 props kust carrying it in & out of the kitchen & now she's here with me in the front room.
Are they zoar props? They sound so quiet compared to my APC's.

Aye Up Ross..

LED's From Ross at http://www.lightingforaeromodellers.co.uk

Or Oliver at BrainCube http://www.braincube-aero.com

Unfortunatley Braincube never have stock! They are modernising and gearing up production but at the moment its about a 2/3 week wait for LEDs but they seem to have stock of lighting controllers. They take your money first though whick annoyns me where as Ross will tell u he aint got um but his ordering process is a bit of an odd one. If you want any advice on them let me know.

The Props are the new TorxPower 14x4.5 beach wood. Nice but I aint ever been a fan of paddle type props always found the WKM like to spin um fast so I normally use Graupners but unfortunately they dont make um this big in useful sizes..

Geoff aint got um listed yet but give him a bell if you want to try some. I am sure the MK will like them

Hi Dave,
You're getting similar issues with power than I am. Batteries (4s 5000 35c) alert very early into my flights. Balancer shows otherwise.... Interesting problem, as my old ADX coax was fine. I'm waiting for the UPS van to rock up today with a ZeroTech power management module so I can see more accurately what's going on. My Tmotors are very closely spec'd to the AXI's. You said in the video you may go to 5s, please explain? I'm interested. BTW, I'm off 13x4.5's and on 12x5's (Xoar). Way better.

The 14x4.5 TorxPower where just to big for the WKM/motor mix. I have found the WKM like to spin um fast. At the moment I am running 13.6 APC thin electric and it like um. 4 cell at the moment but may try 5. With 2KG payload on the gimbal 2x 8000mah 30c 4cell batts I am getting a very safe 6 min flight which for me is fine. I could pu**** to 8mins if I wanted to land with 14v in the packs but with this baby I aint going that far which is about 8 mins.

I have 6 Xoar 13x6 carbons all wrapped up in soft cloth from a previous build that I ended up with 11x6 Graupners on so looks like Wingman will be getting an order on monday for two more!

A bit more flight tuning today and I should be almost done.

Skyline working nice with tilt control and roll adjustment on the fly. If it behaves itself I will be well chuffed. At the moment it has the edge over the Radian and now I have worked out hoe to tidy the harness up is neater that the Radian.

Pics later

Very nice.

I'm thinking seriously about getting one of these but am interested in the flight times you are getting and the DJI. Where is your DJI GPS located?

Cheers
