Sorry not been on here for ages, madness at out end. We have used this airframe on a number of shoots, primarily the Epic with Master primes and Fiz unit, MTOM 19kg, 8min flight with 3min extra safety buffer. Aircraft is lovely to fly, although we had a few issues with it slowly losing altitude...

just read my dead beat post meant dead cat of course... We have had an issue with a part so am having to place hold on the build for the moment, bummer. Hopefully up and running again soon. Will start a new post incase anyone else interested.

hahahahaha, brings a new meaning to swinging a deadbeat around.

great, that is good news. All makes sense on the motor idle speed, they are certainly beasts. My son asked me just now as he sees me writing. "If he says more weight is better, then can it carry me. Happy to help dad!"

Almost there.

How are you getting on with the settings? Almost everything is here for us now so going to start building in the morning. Should be ready to test we'd afternoon. Will let you know how we get on and can see best settings for us and pass on.

I would go for the same comment as Rentakill. - Checking the IMU first, positioning and measurements. - Then take each prop and check that they are all balanced. What are you currently setting your gains at? Basic and Attitude? Basic - Pitch 130 / Roll 130 / Yaw 140 Attitude - 140 / 140 /...

Nice job fella, get that Dragon out there and whip it into shape. nothing like taking the bull by the horns and giving a good whipping. Metaphorically of course as I am a freshairean. Goodluck

Sweet, look forward to hearing more on your results. Certainly can understand the terrifying. First time I flew the epic I nearly gave myself an embolism. Good luck with it all.

Great, cheers for the help on that. Hope that everything is gong well for ya.

Hey Teecee, might of missed this somewhere but wondering what was your workaround in the end on this? trying to get my ducks in order ready for the build.

That is a good question and something that has been on our mind. We have both the movi Mr and the long retracts from aeronautics. Haven't used the sky jib system for about 3 years now, so wanted to check it out before deciding. All the bits will be here next week so hopefully can test by the end...

Genius stuff

oooohhhh that looks so nice. Just jumped on board this thread as we have the exact same build next week for a movi and dragon.
