Anyone know anywhere in the UK that have the futaba t8j in stock? I seem to be struggling to find anywhere. Most sites are saying 'on order'. Parky

I had to create a gmail account to receive the mail, it wouldn't come through on my home email or work email for some reason. It came straight through on the gmail account. Hope this helps. Parky

Cheers for the replies chaps, I'll be ordering a Futaba this week I reckon! treat myself for my birthday :-)

Hi, I'm a good 10 months into this hobby now, I started out with a homebuilt quad using a KK2.0 then upgraded to a DJI F450 with Naza and GPS. From the start I have used a Spektrum DX6i tx, which I haven't had any issues with and have been very happy with. I fancy upgrading to an 8 channel tx...

Hi, Cheers for your replies. I always balance charge my batteries, I have just charged them once or twice but it wasn't really any quicker so I just balance charge them all the time now. I've just started balance charging one of the suspect batteries, the charger says it's putting 3.2A into...

Hi, I am flying a Standard DJI F450 with GPS Quadcopter. I am becoming reasonably decent at flying it now and can fairly zip it up and down and around the field where I normally fly. I am using 8" props and 'Zippy compact 4S 4000mah 25C' batteries. I have 4 of these, 2 I have had a while and...

Hi I was recently balancing one of my 'Zippy compact 4s 4000mah' batteries using my 'Turnigy Accucell 6' charger/balancer after 5 secs I got an error message on the screen saying 'Cell count error'. My first thought was I had a duff battery and one of the cells had died, coincindentally I first...

Brilliant, yep that makes perfect sense. I'll give that a go when I get home from work tonight. Cheers for that Parky

Hi, I currently have an F450 with Naza and GPS, I am using a Spektrum DX6i TX and a Spektrum AR6115 receiver. I have the switches on the TX setup up so I can use Manual mode, Attitude Hold Mode, GPS Hold Mode. I also have switches setup for 'Return to home' and 'IOC'. These all work well...

I've been looking for a decent Gimbal to mount my GoPro Hero 3 (Silver Edition). After a bit of searching I couldn't really find anything I fancied, so I proceeded to design my own in Solidworks, then printed the parts out on our 3D Printer at work (HP Designjet). The results are pretty good...

Hi, I'm flying a DJI F450 with GPS, stock motors, 8" DJI props, Zippy Compact 4S 4000mah batteries, carrying GoPro hero 3 Silver edition. I'm told only to use 8" Props and not 10" with 4s batteries, I imagine this is because you would get too much thrust from the 10" with the 4s batteries? and...

Yeh, I left the throttle about half way for about 10 mins after I lost sight of it, wasn't sure what to do, I thought if I just turn the TX it might drop out of the sky and I was worried because of all the houses around. The wind didn't seem too bad on the ground, but did blow the MR around a...

My mate said exactly the same thing! But I missed the 7.30pm cutoff point! :02.47-tranquillity:

I'm assuming I need the GPS upgrade to do any kind of return to home??? I'm going to get one this week I think after todays little episode! :-)
