Hi Pete, Looks like you use the same suppliers as me. Its hard to find stores in NZ that have stock of parts required to build DIY. I have also had good experiences with RC timer as long as you don't mind having any tracking until it arrives at the back door. Keep up the good work Bart...

Hi All, I have just about to get my new Octa in the air and would like to move to a Sony NX camera. Can someone give me some advice what body (looking at a NX5 R) to go for and also a recommended lens for general use. Hope you have a fantastic New Year, Dave :nevreness:

Merry Christmas to all. May your flights be long and your crashes be few. Dave

Hi All, Had no problem with this supplier. Got a alexmos board and gps unit from him. I needed the pin out for the gps board and they supplied within a day. Cheers Dave

Hi All, Have upgraded two quads and one hex without problem other than having to recalibrate radio inputs. Because it all went so smooth I have now set them all FS return to home and this works very well :nevreness:. All NAZA V1. Cheers Dave

Hi Bart, I have some boards on order and will be having a play when they arrive....just need to stop getting new toys to get some free time :-)

Loaded new software yesterday and she is flying smooooooth...just had to reset the levels for flight mode switch :-)

Hi Gary, Thanks for the info. I have a GOPRO one and i love it. Looks like it would be a good idea to leave it for a few months till they get the bugs fixed. Hi Nic, Hot in NZ today but not as HOT in Australia. Thanks for the advice.. Cheers Dave

Can anyone tell me if the WiFi on the camera affect the radio system and if so can you turn off the WiFi on the camera. Both will be running at 2.4gH i think. Thanks for your help. Cheers Dave

Maybe a car lamp in series with the positive battery lead would work. If things are going to short out then the lamp would light and limmit the high current. One lamp for 3 cell lipo Two lamps in series for up to 6 cell. Cheers Dave

Hi Gavin Are the ESCs the correct voltage :-)

Hi Rick, Getting the same results down in Kapiti. Some flights go without a hitch then from one up to three red lights. Thanks for the info. Cheers Dave

Had the same problem with mine and it was a broken wire on the motor where it plugged into the esc. I think it was caused by vibration from the prop. you will need to give a tug on the wire because it held with heat shrink. Cheers Dave

Hi All This is my first post to this board. To fix the toilet bowl problem i pointer the gps to about the 2 oclock position and now i get rock solid hold. I still get one red flash sometimes in flight. I have not upreaded to the current software. Hope this helps Cheers Dave
