Thanks for the comments censrd. You are right, I did lose quite a few parts along the way. Not expensive though. The motor and escs were faulty and replaced by the dealer. At least one of the Nase32 Fc's was a dud as well. I probably spent about £80 replacing the other bits and pieces. Far...

Thanks so much for that, I will print it off for future reference. Being in Ireland, it can get windy, but we have nice still days also. Im mainly going to be doing aerial video and photo I expect, not much interest in racing or zipping about, but there 920's do give me a solid reserve of...

Well, just to update from day one. After quite a few crashes and tumbles and a few strip downs, I have finally got the Hex flying the way I like it. I am quite pleased with the amount I have got done from the initial build. Upgraded from Nase32 to a Pixhawk, installed an FPV camera and...

thanks for that, it makes sense.

Handy if you want to watch Netflix when you are flying!:)

Ive run my spec through a number of spreadsheets, and my setup currently gives me a thrust ratio of 4.3:1, which I think is pretty decent? I could go to 800KV with a 3:1 thrust ratio at 2212 size, which for mainly aerial video and photo is probably ok. However, Thats not a huge difference, and...

Motors are DJI copies, labelled RHD. To be honest, they seem to be quite robust and have in the main held up very well to the abuse I have given them while learning to fly. But I want to have motors that aren't as power hungry, but also capable of a larger blade size because I am using this...

I have my new build Hex in the air and doing pretty much what its meant to do, which is no mean feat given the abuse it has had at my hands! So, I'm really looking to upgrade the motors now as the motors I have are cheap Chinese made things, and I am not convinced they won't let me down. I...

Bit the bullet and ordered a Pixhawk PX4. I have enough spares to build a Quadcopter as well, and I will use the Naze32 on it. So, I've been playing around with the Pixhawk since the weekend. I had another steep learning curve jumping to another stack so early in my experience and after just...

Thanks, I thought that may be the case as a quick google did not bring up any UBEC with a high enough Amp rating. Ill hold on to them and buy a few £S batteries.

Hi, I bought some backup Esc's and Motors for my Hex, just to have spares. However, on delivery, I have notices they are for 2s-3s battery. This is my mistake as I should have read the detail in the advert. I can't use these on my Hex now unfortunately, but I have enough parts to enable me to...

Thanks. Yes, I think the Pixhawk may be the way to go with an M8 GPS. I am peeking through my fingers at Mission Planner, as I will now need to learn this, after just about getting used to Cleanflight, but the setup of the Pixhawk PX4 looks fairly easy. I like the option for 6 flight modes...

Ok, update so far.......Still not in the air!! :-) Ran into many first build issues and a huge amount of man hours studying up. I can say, I am 500% more tuned in to this now than I was just a few weeks ago, but it has taken a lot of study. Firstly the build. No issues here. Ive a nice Carbon...

Hi Phillip. All I have done was flash the latest firmware from within CF to the Naze. What do you mean by reflash C Cleanflight?

Thanks for checking. I have a new Naze32 on the way, as I think this one is faulty to add to the issues. Too many freezes for me to be comfortable adding it to a build. I'll try what you say when I get it next week, but Im sure I selected the receiver type first as you say.
