    Introducing The Splash Drone Pro

    Your aquacopter looks very impressive. I would love a Splash Drone but can't afford it so I'm going to try building my own by 3D printing a housing and using the bits from my DJI 450. I believe the DJI motors are OK in water. What I'd like to know is whether my Tarot gimbal is waterproof, as...

    Convert my F450 into a Hexacopter

    What I wanted to put up was my current configuration. DJI F450 with 30A ESCs, 920KV motors 3S 3300mAh Lipos, Tarot 2 axis gimbal. I've now started to use a Turnigy camera instead of my GoPro, in case the whole lot drowns in the loch. IMG_7119.jpg by ash2020, on Flickr

    Convert my F450 into a Hexacopter

    Oh dear, I'm trying everything, but can't get an image to show up. I click insert image, then put the url in the box, in this case https://flic.kr/p/xBxy9b and lo and behold - nothing. Any help?

    The red DJI ones 92oKV, although I've never really understood what the KV stands for, KiloVolts??? Is bigger better? The props are plastic, 10". Would I change down to 8"?

    Thanks for that tip. It already has a habit of shooting off over the Loch!

    Convert my F450 into a Hexacopter

    Hi all. I notice that Hobbyking are selling a nice looking hex frame for about £15. I'm thinking I might get a couple of extra ESCs and motors and make a new hex from my quad. I believe the NAZA lite will be OK with it. Any disadvantages that come to mind?
