Wellll, if you were being argumentative and I was foolish enough to rise to it, I'd point out that he is pretty successfully commercially http://philip.greenspun.com/personal/resume-photo-list Plus outside of Photography he has created a lot of very successful software and given it away for...

I definitely don't have a casual view of it. I've been through my share of online and offline legal disputes, despite generally subscribing to this way of thinking. That's just it though. Say you only ever publish tiny low quality images online because you're worried about them being ripped...

That's a shame as it would be nice to be able to look at the work properly. I'm surprised there isn't some room for compromise - Jason Hawkes who seems to me to be the best aerial photographer working today (albeit from full sized helis) manages to put some beautiful and pretty high quality...

Denny, you're spot on about reproductive/transmission quality and have certainly proven your point - I'm sure your images look fabulous when printed on good quality stock, but those scans seem to have really limited dynamic range and look rather flat on my Mac I'm afraid. Are you still...

There was some talk about a London meet up. I'm proposing the date of Saturday 27th October on the basis that if we don't set a date it'll never happen, though of course anyone could suggest a different date. Now the tricky part - anybody got any ideas for a location, ideally something close...

Thanks for all the comments. I'm well aware that the images break various conventional "rules". That's why I was interested in what appealed to other people; each of these is a work in progress to deliver something a bit different. The diversity of the opinion about each one rather confirms...

Considering the creative potential for AP shots, which of these images has most impact do you think? Put another way, if you could only show someone one image to say "isn't aerial photography interesting", which would you choose? You're welcome to say they're all rubbish, but then which one is...

I think you might have to go to EuroUSC rather than expecting them to come to you. After all, Andre has gone to the trouble of setting it all up and has thus put himself in an enviable position (though of course there is nothing stopping someone else doing the same), so it's his game to lose...

I might be able to come on the 16th. It's a long old haul from the south east though for a few hours there. Maybe I'll start a thread for a London area meet up to gauge the interest levels.

I concur that it's about "what it says in your ops manual" and not about airworthiness requirements. But the ops manual is aircraft specific so it's a bit of a catch 22, or at least that's how EuroUSC can choose for it to be. As you say, the CAA might view it differently if a suitable case is...

The trouble is I think that they are looking for some validation for the aircraft itself. EuroUSC say (and I've no reason to disbelieve them) that one of the CAA's biggest concerns is "fly aways". Hence they are keen to see a demonstration of the RTH feature of the flight controller in action...

I've had a number of PMs about these. Yes, they are the ones shown in the first post of this thread. They are complete and unused (other than testing). They also include the optional eyeglass insert that doesn't come with the standard kit. The price is £240 plus shipping. For those that...

I have a set of these for sale. Unfortunately the previous time I advertised them the buyer wasn't able to come through. Price is £240 plus shipping. They are in as new condition and I can throw in a prescription glasses insert.

Manual Mode Leaving aside the notion that manual is "completely useless" (on a WKM multi if you want to fly loops you can't do it without manual mode) and the status LEDs, this is why professionals use a checklist prior to take off - either a written checklist, or a "cockpit" driven one whereby...

After your "back off by at least 5m" you then need to move the IOC switch to the POI setting, it doesn't just happen because you backed off having set the POI. But other than that, yes.

Explanation about the new switches/modes/etc is here: http://www.multirotorforums.com/showthread.php?4637-Wookong-M-Firmware-v5.10&p=46698&viewfull=1#post46698

As far as controls go, if you're using SBUS or a traditional receiver, not as much has changed as at first might appear. There is a new "Go-home" switch mode which can be assigned to channel X3. If you previously had a method of activating go home, such as through the main flight mode switch...

Yes, it's powered by a 6V BEC. Have verified the output is 6V with a voltmeter.

Thanks for the reply - I do really appreciate it and I think there is a lot of useful stuff in your post that will help others. HOWEVER! When I power up the board now I don't get an orange LED - I get all the LEDs (blue, red and orange?) all on at once. No matter what I do, these stay on...

Fair enough and I apologise if I misrepresented you. I'll be in touch directly.
