Dave, Try these, they may point you in the right direction. http://www.bmfa.org/index.html Park Rangers can spot a Model Flyer from a distance and will do everything in their power to quote the relevant Bye Laws prohibiting Model Flying. Give them any lip and you're a...

Dave, Are you looking for the Distribution rights ?

Dave, PM sent ! Sid

There is no doubt, if you need heavy manipulation of the image, Lightroom 3 is amazing and worth the investment if Commercial stills is your business. This image was a quick edit with Picasa....... a slight straighten and a push on the contrast.

Most interesting !.................plenty of food for thought. I like the look of the Y6 config. The camera placement exploiting the 120* arm angle looks right. Is there a major benefit in placing the camera close to the prop plane ? Really like your design, 7kg auw, what camera are you...

This Forum is attracting innovative and forward thinking individuals who are willing to share their findings and offer words of wisdom to newcomers. Glad I stumbled across this Forum, I can think of other forums where newcomers questions are treated with disdain. I have a good feeling about the...

jes1111, Thanks for your informative reply,.............given that we need battery power, is using a bigger battery an efficient way of increasing mass ? Is there a point when greater mass compromises the handling ? It seems that we need to be looking at a more aerodynamic profile to...

Bart, Nice composition,............ What are your camera settings ? Looks a bit soft to me and there's sensor or lense dirt ? (see the dark spots in the sky) I feel a bit bad saying this but this is constructive criticism........ Sid

I agree with Fox222 on his experience of the MinAir. products. I own a Spectra G which is gathering dust now that I have gravitated towards Multicopters. The quality of components, value and customer support is excellent, the emergence of this new MRC supplier can only be good news for us...

There was a small craft warning in place for today, The Met were forecasting 35Km gusts. it was ok untill I got above the tree line. My AUW with a GoPro HD and 5000mah is 1.8k Is it likely that a heavier platform will handle these sort of winds better or is it a case of the bigger rig...

Is it just Western Europe, but there seems to be an extraordinary amount of wind of late. Very frustrating trying to schedule fly time around the vagaries of the elements. It is a held belief that MRC's will be grounded due to wind when the Heli guys can fly. As regards AP, it is doable...

Bill, Excellent ! ..... Beautifully smooth take off. Where will the camera be mounted ? Thanks for posting Videos........looking forward to more. Sid

Yeah,..........it's called the playline. Makes for an interesting flight path on Tree lined dogleg holes. FPV is the way to do this, in fact it is probably the only way to do it well as most Golf Hole Flyby's are a too high altitude from full scale Heli's. I looked at doing these some years...

That's right...........of 30 years now. have you something in mind ?

Dave, Nice !........It's a wonder you have time to get out with all your 'Moderating' work. As they say on this Island.....'Fair play to yeh!' nothing from me of late, both Platforms grounded with a failed motor and the other with firmware issues ? Apparently...

Denny, Thanks............ very interesting set up, your videos certainly point to the fact that creative ingenuity is at work. So, you're using MK electronics with a HL Hexa, Octo ? Those rotational shots are sublime, might be possible for us 'one man' operations with...

Denny, Very impressive indeed !...............Please can you give details on your platforms, cameras.......FPV, 2 man operation ? Sid

Dave, OK............let me know if there is a trip. They are some nice shots, were the Panoramas stitched or is it the 'Pano' mode from the NEX 5 ? Here is one from yesterday from Estate :) Lanestown Castle, Anyone find a slight degradation in image when using the GoPro HD...

Excellent background history...............with time, patience, $$$$$$$$$$ and a will, everything is possible. Subscribed ! Sid

Bart,...........the props on order are the same APC 1047 as used. The difference in video quality only became apparent when I used the GWS 0845 props. I feel the reason is point number 5 that DennyR posted in his excellent reply. The extra oomph ! of the APC 1047's is transmitting a...
