Charlie, You are right - I also found these at Hobby King:- http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__25662__XT90_Battery_Harness_10AWG_for_2_Packs_in_Parallel.html http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__23132__XT60_Harness_for_2_Packs_in_Parallel_1pc_.html The thing is to make sure it...

If you trained at GEC then you may need some lessons in soldering :black_eyed: Ouch that hurt.... Nice to see a Kent boy enjoying the big US of A . Knowing when GEC went I won't ask you for your age... Being north of the river we have to take our passports when go over the Dartford...

Short of making your own your local hobby shop will probably stock a simple Y cable. If not people like HobbyKing will have them in stock. It may be that the load is OK at 9" but the 4S does spins up the motors faster so this could putting an awful lot of Amps through your ESC if your props...

The institutions will always let down, those they are pretending to be there to protect because they are indeed funded by their own fraudulent schemes.

You don't need laws control the population you only need them to generate revenue streams.....

Do get the GPS it makes the flight time so much safer and if you do have a Tx failure it will fly home (where you took off from) and land very very slowly So slowly you may be tempted to take hold before it lands.... Don't or you may find out first hand just how dangerous the blades are...

I would check all your connectors, especially the ESC and Motor at idle. Don't just push them together disconnect and reconnect. Next I would re-solder the ESC to the bottom PCB to make sure there isn't an intermittent dry solder. I don't know the temperature in WV but looking at...

The F550 is more than capable of taking 2 25Cs. The potential discharge rate would be doubled while the voltage remains above 11.1 for longer. The other advantage is that despite the additional weight the flight time will be extended by about 40% over 1 25C. A simple Y cable can be used but...

Charlie, I have no doubt the batteries are causing the early red light flashing. If you are adding load to the machine i.e. fast assent then the lights will come on very early if they are marginally within load tolerance when fully charged. I use 2 x 35C and get exactly this at about 6 mins...

Very nice. You must have been well over the 400ft allowed in the UK in some of those shots. .... though I can see the fox was off to his lawyers to get an injunction for filming him naked in his own back yard. :frog:

Good point well made plingboot.... The CAA would be mad if they prevented licensed pilots from updating because of the cost of re-examination. Mind you are talking about Civil Servants and common sense was never one of the recruiting officers pre-requisites. If a large organisation or...

I can't imagine that the CAA would allow any jumbo to fly with old firmware/software when new software is available. Especially where there is enhanced safety or improved functionality. I would have thought that anyone who failed to update may be in more danger of clashing swords with the CAA...

Glidetech, How did it go.....? As for insurance, I have found the same problem but already have BMFA insurance so am assuming that as the test will not be for any commercial use this will cover. Although I have no intentions of crashing so will not need it :dread:, fingers crossed. I have...

YouTube is now owned by Google so they will probably pulled it because it breached someone's copyright: Oh and probably upset someone in the White House too. Although they do allow other broadcasts to go on there until someone complains that it breaches national security.

Hobbyists and Aerial Photographers are being lumped together with military applications:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwkxx84wXNo

Photobobga, Glad to see you have a successfully utilised a DJI F550 and GoPro 3. I came to this the other way round from you... I am an old hobbyist moving into AP so the camera shots, video and editing are my learning curve... I have to congratulate you on the photos and Video as they are...

I do love the simplicity of this. Send it out to all and sundry.....

so suddenly my Ladybird Quadropter becomes a threat to the state?

And this for blades - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgSqnjHHmtY

Would it not be better to locate the source of vibration and balance it? Balancing motors and blades is relatively simple but time consuming. I found this on YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skFhlYeo-1k
