Very much appreciated, tried a few things, including recommendations found on RCForums - re GPS issues on the V1 X650, it seems that this is not an unknown issue and there seems to be no resolution to it - at least that doesn't include a hardware upgrade - disconnected GPS - much improved...

I'm planning a self build, am using eCalc extensively to assess battery, prop and motor combinations. Just as an example I looked at a Turnigy NTM Prop Drive 28-26 1000kv, they recommend a 9x6 prop for 14S - .973kg thrust. eCalc reckons this motor won't even get off the ground - stating that a...

At this stage that would be highly appreciated ...

if it will only hover 5 minutes that's no good, I'm aiming for a flight time of between 10 and 15 minutes, struggling to find a battery combination that will work. Trying to find a motor / battery combo is the biggest challenge, the longer the flight time the better, doing everything I can to...

I've read conflicting information on the subject but most of the official places i.e. Ofcom aren't very clear on it although they do discuss 1mW continuous with 10mW 'occasional' - I've seen nothing that says 100mW - although how they apply different rules to airborn versus ground based...

Not at 100mW it isn't unless I read the rules wrongly - limit is 1mW

OK I have an x650 that has the blood pressure up to spending levels ... Anyone care to comment on the following build plan, it's based on many many hours of Googling and trawling through forums, should have done it before rushing into the x650 but I didn't .. However I want to build a...

Nah not the real name - comes from a Star Wars heritage ... get called the Jedi master at work ... Not sure if the AHRS isn't barfed, can stay horizontal but can't hold position or altitude, and the GPS lock is a joke. XAircraft have removed all links to older config tools and PID setup files...

Yup I'm a noob here, first post is a 'problem' .... sorry for that ... Despite having 3 or 4 satellites indicated and toggling between -2D and -3D lock the pilot lamp never goes solid, it is correctly connected to output 12 on the flight controller, the copter refuses to play nice and is a pig...
