you could always join DiyDrones and drop chris anderson a direct PM… you're going to have a much greater chance of a response/resolution if you try the right people at the right place… but do report back to let us know how it goes.

Great work, looking forward to seeing the youtube clip…

sorry, they're SOLD

I suppose you could do a build without the gimbal assembly and add weight up front to get the CofG correct or you could build a regular (non-pro) discovery first - which would be easier to balance and once you're confident, simply swap to disco pro frame plates, using the same components...

I have both a P2/H3-2D and a disco Pro. if I were buying again, I'd not have bothered with the P2. If you follow the disco pro build instructions carefully and use the tbs recommended parts (900kv motors and tbs esc), you'll have a better rig and the support from tbs is actually superb. They...

I enjoyed the workshop too, but did feel that there's a long way to go before there's some sort of operations framework / guidance within which we can build safety and risk cases AND know that we're covering all bases. Despite the CAA being on the war path, I'm also concerned that those of us...

On a 450 size quad, you might be better running something like the TBS esc's/900kV motors and 9" props. That should give you a very locked in quad - it works well on disco pros. if you look at the thread about kloner's aerial mob disco pro extensions over on fpvlab, you'll see that trappy...

thanks for the input… going to do a couple more packs this afternoon, which I'll film. I do however suspect there'll be issues when i attempt to get a replacement… :upset:

I've been doing the first few low level test flights with the Phantom 2 and H3-2D and have been having the same issue with each flight. After between 5:30-7:00 mins in the air it'll begin to yaw and wallow, loosing altitude as it goes. The first time it happened i was at head hight and i had...

thanks

could you let me know where the quick release mounts came from? thanks

I have an a/v pigtail for my gh2 zenmuse. I'm going to crimp it up for connection to an IRC vtx. The question is, do I need to split the ground so it goes to both the power connection and the gnd on the transmitter connector, or should I just have it going to the power connector? my gut feeling...

I wonder whether this design will trickle down to a new hexacopter?

Thought it might be worth chiming in here. I foolishly assumed that the flexibility of the original phantom (naza)would be carried on through to the new phantom 2. I was incorrect. I've been through the polite request route, but the bottom line and harsh reality is that the Phantom 2 is aimed...

I upped my gains as it felt a bit sluggish to me. Flew it in a strong gusting breeze yesterday and it performed better than i expected. I can check, but my basic P and R are up at 140 IIRC
