First flight of my M690 on Saturday and it is very smooth. I'm very pleased with the platform. I used Align 60C 5200 cells and had to add a counterweight (no gimbal and camera for the first flight obviously) at the front to balance. Total weight was 5.5kg. Flight times were around 7 minutes...

Hi Dave, I'm currently getting to grips with a Futaba 14SG that turned up yesterday, I decided not to fly £6000 of drone and camera with a £130 Taranis (No issues with the Taranis really except the build quality reflects the low price). I hope to fly it this Saturday without Gimbal and if the...

I received my G3-5D today (strange having a courier delivery on a Sunday). Good news and bad news ref the weight. Here in th eUK we have a 7kg weight limit for flying in build up areas. M690 with G3-5D gimbal, 1x Align 5200mah Lipo & Canon 5D Mk3 with a 16-35mm lens = 7.1kg M690 with G3-5D...

I built the 690 to basic build tonight, I just need to add the VTX and Taranis reciever. It was a very easy built, taken 3 hours so far. The frame when the arms are screwed into the flight position is rock solid. One thing I will need to put together will be a transporting case or foam type...

My 690 arrived yesterday, I'm still waiting for my 5D gimbal but that should be with me next week. Looking through the kit, all I can say is that the build quality is stunning, it's a work of art. I hope to build it tomorrow evening and I may have it up for a test flight on Sunday. I'll be using...

Well here is the frame for my next Tarot. I have added Tarot 333mm tubes & Pro motor mounts give a rotor span of 828mm. i then reused a couple of the old rotor arms and replaced the old landing gear legs (although I may cut these down a bit later, depending on Payload I will be carrying...

The frame is spot on, It's a very nice air-frame. I didn't think my gains were too bad, does anyone have an example that they are using with a similar set up please?

No I have not changed anything, I thought I would give the Hero 2 a try whilst I am waiting for the Hero 3. It works but I just have to fly smoothly. I'll have to wait a couple of weeks before ordering the Hero 3 as I just spent the money on some mountain bike lights so the toy fund is a bit...

Yep sorry about that, had some problems with the quality uploaded to Youtube. Unfortunately I cannot edit the previous posts to correct this. Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlTvQ8nRdbI;hd=1 I wouldn't recommend the Go Pro2 with the Aeroxcraft mount as I think the heavier...

I have updated the video to match the music better, also added a bit of new footage.......and the crash :) http://youtu.be/LwMnKXGzSkE
