    FINALLY, after months of farting about the droidworx Y6 took to the sky (low hover) this evening. Started out as a MK upgrade but is now (and finally) a wkm build (with HW 30A sec's, the smaller of the two Torxpower motors and graupner 10" props) Initial teething problems were, as they are in...

    Naza FPV set-up

    Just thought i'd post a couple of pics of my Naza FPV build. The ImmersionRC kit is really good to work with, all required cables supplied and keyed, plug it all together and i just works and ezOSD is very clear. The FPV parts are sandwiched out of harm's way with a second flamewheel plate...

    how windy is too windy?

    what are people's opinions on when it's too windy to fly? it's forever blowing at a strength I think is unsafe to fly in, but just wondering if I'm being too cautious. I used bought a turnigy anemometer and the steady wind today is 12-13km/h with gusts at 25-34km/h

    FOR SALE - MK hexa electronics, follow-me and MX-20 radio

    I've had a long think about my multi-rotor collection and decided to sell my Mikrokopter electronics. The honest truth is i'm scared sh!tless that i'll have a silly stack and trash the lot, which means i'm not flying it, which is therefore a waste. The flight electronics had a few flights in...

    yet more dji niggles

    had chance to fly a few packs with both the wkm and naza today. first tentative fpv flight with the naza was ok, but not the best location. i do however keep experiencing niggles which spoil it all. naza, as the flight progresses, the throttle becomes less and less responsive - still plenty...

    another wkm/flamewheel build

    success! just had a first very quick flight with my wkm/flamewheel build. when i first opened up the boxes, i thought a wkm in a flame wheel would be a crammed mess, but with a bit of thought it all fits 'mid deck' neatly, leaving a space at the front for a GoPro and room on the top for the...

    prop choice… again

    Just wondered whether anyone has any thoughts/experience on this one. I've been flying both my hexa and my arducopter quad on 10" props. The arducopter, which has seen most action recently, seems to require more than half throttle to get it off the ground (it's a pretty light build) and keep...

    Mikrokopter MKTool screen grabs and Netbook - help?

    Bit the bullet and bought a netbook to run MKtool, Arducopter Mission Planner etc. I'm a mac man through-n-through, have been for 25 years, but running MKTool and Mission Planner through Parallels has been an effing slow and tortuous process. On the upside the cheap and cheerful dual core...

    This relates to my recently finished DW Y6 - running robbe roxxy 2827/35 motors. Not test flown her yet. Should i go for Graupner elektro 10" x 5's or 11" x 5's ? What difference would i expect to see between the two? Thanks, David
