Well it's commercial use - its part of their business activities. Therfore they need CAA authority etc... And alough everyone is in their restaurant, I think they would be hard pressed to demonstrate everyone is "under the pilots control"... I can't see how it is legal, even if they are not...

Yes sorry it should have been "stick inputs", so control inputs in your transmitter. Sent by my thumb, a trusty slave to my crazy mind. The above is the ramblings of a lunatic, and should be treated as such. Terms and conditions apply.

I'll try and give you a quick 101 class on how rotors affect stability and thrust... Multirotors work very differently to helis in that we don't use blade pitch to alter lift, we use rotor speed. Therefore, unlike a helicopter, we are constantly accelerating our rotors. This happens every time...

I see that it's slightly rounded, but is it firm or soft, like it's air or solid? Before they are shrink wrapped, they are wrapped long ways with a fabric core tape - which can stop batteries from being perfectly flat on every side. Sent by my thumb, a trusty slave to my crazy mind. The above...

Hi guys, I've had a few phantoms, and know a lot of others who do too. I know a few who had the this issue... What they all had in common was the use of aftermarket props... When we chased it through it turned out to be one of two things 1. Badly balanced props causing vibration 2. Props they...

The easiest way would be to either change your control to 5.8 ghz, and use a FP40 camera. The FP40 gives about 150 m range and goes to opponents or Android, with very low delay. The good pro is lucky to go 50m, and has several seconds delay. This means changing your receiver board in the...

And remember that very close to the roof you get a reverse ground effect, and a sharp increase in lift... So stay alert! Sent by my thumb, a trusty slave to my crazy mind. The above is the ramblings of a lunatic, and should be treated as such. Terms and conditions apply.

If you are all right when forward and right, you're channels are set up correctly. You must be plugged into Naza assistant to do the basic and advanced calibration. Then take it outside away from any metal, put it down, and power it up in gps mode. Wait until you get all green led. Then...

And BTW, both IMU and compass calibration should be done before the motors are armed. Sent by my thumb, a trusty slave to my crazy mind. The above is the ramblings of a lunatic, and should be treated as such. Terms and conditions apply.

First of all your 3 red leds make perfect sence... It indicates the Naza thinks it's not stationary, or is badly out of calibration. Plug into the assistant and masked sure the model is level, then do a basic calibration, followed by an advanced calibration. Then go back into the RC channel...

You can get battery warning bags from hobby king. They are big Lipo safe bags with heating elements in that run of a Lipo aswell. I sometimes also use a microwave 'hot water bottle' in the peli case with my batteries. Sent by my thumb, a trusty slave to my crazy mind. The above is the ramblings...

I'm glad your on the right track, and I hope I can get you there! There is a couple of things I'd check... The motors are mounted on the correct arms, and the model type is set correctly. In the Naza assistant, go to the model type, and check it is ticked as a single rotor hex. (is set as a...

Yes you can. The "correct" thing to go would be to adjust the voltage settings each time. However you could turn all voltage warnings off, and use a stand alone voltage alarm. That way you can leave it set to 3.6 v per cell and land when it goes off. Sent by my thumb, a trusty slave to my...

What radio have you got? In general you will use aero mode. If your receiver supports S-bus or PPM then you will just need one cable from your receiver to the x2 port of the Naza. If not you need to connect each channel with its own cable, as per the Channel outputs from your receiver. To...

If you have no interest in building one, buy a standard Phantom 2, and then add on your own gimbal and a go pro camera. Choose a go pro to suit your needs and budget,and gimbal wise you can go from 100 usd for a tarrot stand alone unit up to DJIs own Zamooze. Sent by my thumb, a trusty slave...

Both will give you the same CAA cirt at the end of it, and both will cover the same topics, so I'd choose the one that is closer to you or cheaper. But I must ask... If you are only just starting out in multirotors, why are you looking at a sUAV cirt? You know they are only required for...

Did you charge it before you used it? Lipo batteries are normally stored and delivered about 50% charged, which makes sense given your recharge values... Have you seen what it did after a recharge? Sent by my thumb, a trusty slave to my crazy mind. The above is the ramblings of a lunatic, and...

Right, start at the start... Yes you can use a 2 way switch for the U channel, and make it give you Gps and either atti, failsafe or manual. You need to have the Naza assistant open and connected whilst you move the receiver switch. If the chanel limits are wrong it will overshot slightly and...

I'm after both a Gps and iosd, can you pm me with your ballpark prices in the UK please? Sent by my thumb, a trusty slave to my crazy mind. The above is the ramblings of a lunatic, and should be treated as such. Terms and conditions apply.
