In some countries you can not only be arrested for filming but for expressing your opinion. Exactly why would this area be restricted?

Another update - Finally got this bird in the air. It doesn't seem to have the power I thought it would but more of an issue is that the flight is very unstable. I've had further discussions with developers on DIYDrones about tuning the APM 2.5 controller and it looks like I'm going to have the...

Don't forget about the SkyJib Lite option as well. It's larger than the XM series but in coax configuration much smaller than the full 8. It has the components to lift a bit more weight than the XM. I just built the SkyJib Lite X4 coax and with two 800maH batteries it weighs in at 5.8Kg. I'm...

Yes, I think you have this right. If you read between the lines on their site there are other indications as well. The new materials in the Ti series apparently meet some type of certifications as well. I think it's clear they are positioning themselves as providers to commercial and gov orgs...

Some progress has been made on this build. I suspect the problems I had with my maiden flight were caused by not calibrating the ESCs correctly. It also looks like I may have swapped two motor positions in the wiring although they were on the same arm so I don't think that would have made much...

Quick update - I discovered what many here probably already knew, the ESCs I used aren't rated for 5S batteries. I checked with DW staff and they recommended that I use 5S batteries so it looks like it's back to the work bench for me. Doh! This little units PDB is a real pain to solder up given...

I used 30amp Plush from Hobby King. Droidworx support suggested 13" or 14" props and I told them to send what was best for the intended payload. I ended up with Tiger 14". I did a maiden yesterday and couldn't get it to fly. Thanks to Blurex, who was there with his incredibly stable DW X4 coax...

Build photos now on my Flickr account.

After my sad maiden flight with a SkyJib Lite X4 coax Ti using APM 2.5 and Arducopter I decided to distract myself by building a CX. I wanted something small enough to travel overseas with and this may be perfect for that. I have just finished the basic build and will be mounting the motors...
