Sounds like an interesting project, let me know when you've started a thread for your build.

Sounds interesting flying the Air 01, are you going to make a custom gimbal for it or adapt a generic one?

Yeah i haven't really been uploading any videos... I've got tons of footage but nothing i really deem worthy of uploading. I've only ever really been flying round where i work (local high school). Would like to go out and about, but i don't have enough batteries or a decent charger yet. Its...

All depends on what you want to do with it. Are you wanting a craft to mount a camera to? what size camera? GoPro, Sony NEX, GH4, DSLR, RED? If you go for the 960 frame, then you will need lower KV motors, larger props, etc... as the items i'm using are designed for the size/weight craft i...

Thanks. If you have read through the posts you would see that earlier this year i changed out the propulsion system for DJI's E800 system (Motors, ESCs, Props) as well as extending the arms to fit the larger props, adding retracts, and going to a 6S battery. If you don't want to go the for E800...

Software Development Kit. Information for developers/programmer to write code that communicates with various functions. e.g. gathering GPS data or flight data, sending control inputs for pitch/roll/yaw, etc..

Stupidly enough I threw out some old HP servers at the start of the year. I've seen people do they same thing with the newer 1000w+ desktop PSU's, but looking at the price of them its just the same to buy a proper power supply. Yeah, i'm much happier with getting 16min, before this upgrade I...

Thanks, i've already been researching power supplies as well.

I have been suggested the ichargers quite a few times now. Will have to put aside some monies

Need a bigger charger. Took well over two hours to recharge the two 6000mah 3S nano-techs in series. Used 5362mah in that last flight (89%)

Well, looks like third time's the charm! 17min 30sec flight, this was in quite breezy conditions as well in GPS mode, so the craft was working harder to keep itself in position. Wasn't all hovering, did some back and forward, side to side, short punch outs, etc... couldn't do a whole lot with...

Ive had two flights so far, just dialling in the gains. This is what i have so far: BASIC Pitch: 235 Roll: 235 Yaw: 100 Vertical: 100 ATTITUDE Pitch: 150 Roll: 150 I'm about to do a third flight to dial in the Yaw. For the first flight i wasn't really keeping an eye on the clock as i was...

Couples of pics before last evenings flight. The LEDs just make the look of it. Some day time pics from before todays flight.

So mechanically its all complete. I have gone through setting up the ESC's, all good, came with the latest firmware (they were only manufactured a few weeks ago). Just got some tweaking of the FC and radio to do and it be up for a fly. Tucked the excess led cabling under the motor plate. All...

Removed the top plate and arms last night ready for the new arms etc.. As you can see the arm clips don't last, well the red ones don't, black seems to be stronger. Looking a little more complete. Went with mounting the retracts on the fixed arms as was suggested by jhkiom on RCGroups...
