    British MR fliers UNITE

    This organization has not been formed yet and yes although it is an offshoot from UAVS trade organization, its management committee positions are open and available, including elected Chairman. As the flyer states: "To achieve anything effective however, Sub20 needs to have a financial base to...

    British MR fliers UNITE

    you dont have to have a BNUC-S but it is geared towards the commercial sector. At first glance it seems to be just what we have looking for with the added bonus that it covers all types of SUA, not just MR's

    Rigid frame for y6 or big X8?

    Agree on the Vulcan, good solid frame at good price and ever so versatile when it comes to configuration options

    Aerial Still Photos from GoPro Hero 2 on DJI 550

    Nice pics, I rarely use my GP2 in stills mode but if i do I use 8mp and medium FOV. I find I have to crop too much after using lens distortion when I use 11mp wide. I also liked to just take pull stills from 1080 narrow video before I loaded up protune FW. Gonna have to try the GP3 though!

    This is good to hear, I've almost finished my XA X650 X8 in its 4th incarnation, with HFP and Turnigy Plush ESC's. Really looking forward to getting it airborne.

    New rescue system for Multirotors

    Loads of what if's I can think of, but I guess multirotors = multi variables and no certainty. The one in the YT Clip was deployed from beneath. makes sense I guess as most likely its gonna flip.

    New rescue system for Multirotors

    Chute deployment is a level beyond failsafe, failsafe is more dealing with loss of signal or command input and relies on a fully operable machine. this is a last resort measure, as its states, its a rescue system. If your machine is capable of performing an RTH, then why would you want to pop...

    New rescue system for Multirotors

    I was thinking along the same lines. mixing the chute deployment signal with throttle. or throttle cut off.

    5.16 official release

    Yeah, I just remember the old WKH having a set height limit which could not be disabled. could be a good tool then if it is user defineable.

    5.16 official release

    OK, so there is the option.

    5.16 official release

    Dont like the idea of height restriction, It is permissable to fly outwith stated limits in the UK with permission from CAA. I wonder what the mechanics of this restriction are, baro or GPS, I take it the ground datum will be set on powering up the FC.

    Just tried a collective pitch heli...

    I found orientations to be the biggest hurdle and cause of most crashes, sims are great for learning this as are coax heli's and MR's, if you have your orientations sussed from flying MR's your half way there. The fixed pitch helis with 45° flybars (self levelling) like Blade 120SR are great for...

    MultiWii / NAZE / SP Racing F3 Apm 2

    Thanks R_Lefebvre. I thought I may have been missing an update or something. Dont have the time to get to grips with manual coding so I'll stick to my X4 and use a HFP on my X8, APM2 would be handy as it has OK,ish GPS Pos'n hold.

    Show us what you shot.

    Yeah very nice, dynamic, smooth and quite novel to see some natural movement. you done a good job with vibe isolation, I only really saw a little about 00:46. what mode were you shooting in? Certainly getting on better than me with Naza and Gopro 2. I'm getting wobbles and jello all over the place.

    A good day gone bad
