Very cool!

Sorry I've not been around much lately, work has been keeping me far too busy. Need to do something about that! Since last time, have fitted the DJI rx, managed to get one antenna vertical and one horizontal, so in theory should be good, will have to wait and see. Easy to change if I need to...

Thanks cooter. Love my Phantom, it's kinda why I am building this other one. Besides filming random stuff, I want to be able to do some more high speed stuff. Know the P3 will be more than capable, but I'm not unfortunately, so if I'm going to damage something, would rather that is wasn't my...

One from this weekend....

Thanks guys! Using a Hudl 2 as a monitor (cheap supermarket own brand tablet, but big screen). Been flying since may, so not that long. The confidence the P3 gives you is incredible. My flying wasn't so smooth, but did this within my first week of owning it, it gives you that much...

A friend of mine owns Fort Perch Rock, an old fort right on the beach at New Brighton, at the mouth of the river Mersey, directly opposite Liverpool, so was up there over the weekend enjoying a couple of cold beers in the sun, sat on the walls and decided on having a closer look at some of the...

That is actually perfect, thanks!! Got loads of space in the nose, so can mount it in / under the nose with either the V pointing down transverse across the frame, or have one horizontal and one vertical, have the space to do either. And apart from the Naza remote LED there is nothing in the...

Thanks Moto, would you recommend having the 90 degree L with both wires horizontal, both vertical, or one horizontal and one vertical? Or even both at 45 degrees to horizontal?

Really interesting thread! Great stuff, Bartman, when are we going to see the beastie in action?

Need to get over my DJI addiction, this "cheap" build is rapidly becoming more expensive by the day. Or should I say night - working nights at the moment, so far too much time for online research and shopping....... But, on the plus side, ordered a shiny new DJI DT7 & DR16 set so making...

Good idea, looking at the frame, it's basically a space frame, so cable ties inboard should be possible. Don't mind the cable ties inside, just not a fan of the look of having stuff cable tied to the arms externally. I know it's just me being weird, but it would really bug me so will be worth...

Ah brilliant thanks, very good to know, opens up a lot more choices :) Any recommendations on securing them? Will be running them inboard as I hate wires and stuff cable tied to the arms, and as I imagine that they will get a tad warm, a hot glue gun for example wouldn't be a great idea?

Latest update - motor, prop and esc choice has changed completely, power distribution board (that hasn't arrived yet) is now useless for this build :(, may be able to tweek it to handle the extra power, will see when it gets here. Suppose there is a lot to be said for forward planning...

Ok, so bit of an update, obviously the Naza is installed, a friend has kindly donated a spare Phantom 2 controller to the cause, so need to find a receiver compatible with the Naza Lite and Phantom 2 transmitter - if anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated! Think I have made...

Will be interesting to see how long your HobbyKing order takes to come - I've just ordered a 200amp power distribution board and that is having to come from their international warehouse
