was it snowing? ;) Pete

If you have enough motors, it will fly with one messed up. Not well... but it will fly. Pete

Sweet. It would go well with my Hoverfly Sport I suspect...

Great job mate. No time-lapse! It would have been a perfect contender. I presume everything slotted in perfectly or did you need to file/sand anything out? I suspect it just fell together... and that is what we pay a bit extra for ;) Pete

That gimbal is going very well. I love the flying over the wildlife... Pete

pssss. Hey Nick... click on the link in his post!

Too cute... damn you! ...another machine on the lixt... ;) Pete

It just maight have been a batch... I'm special!

I have 4 x 8ch Orange RX's. Every one had the same symptom (on 4 different machine, two different Tx's). My quad had been momentarily loosing power for a split second for no reason at all. When this happens all four motors just quickly turn off then back on in less than a second. The...

I see subtlety has left OP. Nice stuff from u Rick ;)

Yup... I noticed Ken avoided my comment about it ;)

Not good Ken. Heal quickly :) btw - The latest firmware upgrade from Hoverfly makes the board beep continously when armed until over 7% throttle. Stories like this remind us why they chose to do that! Pete

https://hoverflytech.zendesk.com/entries/23296187-PRO-GPS-Firmware-Update-v4-8 (6) There is no gain adjustment for Altitude Hold. You can return your switch values to their default settings. The Altitude Hold feature no longer needs to be tuned. I changed mine back to 100%/100% on my...

Is that because: a) We have had better weather than you this summer b) Our Super 15 teams did better than you in the weekend c) I'm a Kiwi d) I'm a Kiwi with a flying DW machine that I personnaly picked up... and I got a factory tour ;) After building over a dozen diy machines, I bought...

30 minutes on my HFP quad at the model field today. Very hot with big thermals. Gain is now set nicely. AH worked ok. I was a bit quick on hitting it first time and it slowly descended 15' so I tried to hold altitude for 2-3 sends first. Better results. AL - lovely to fly. Really nice and...

But you don't forget that it is armed!!! I took my 3Kg quad out (no gps) for a hard test last night. 10mph winds. I'm still fine-tuning the gain but it rocked. AH was perfect - and I didn't need to be level or stationary to use it. Excellent ascend/descend speeds with the throttle stick. I...

I traded my JR DSX9 in for a Futaba 10C and never looked back. It has sliders for tilt-control on the side of the tx. Something to think about. I had to program a friends new 14SG a week ago. It had sliders and is a nice radio but it was a b#$ch to program! Non-tactile rub your finger...

I have tried to use Orange Futaba 8ch Rx's. Great in my planes but... they do not work with KK, KK2, Openpilot CC or Hoverfly. There is a problem with the pulse shape and all motors on the above controllers stopped for 1/5 second every minute or two in slow and fast modes. Not worth the...

I'm flying without a gps board so in theory I don't have much to gain here... except 4.6.r2 cost me two machines + an RX100 camera after flipping... which I can't afford to replace... So my first impression of 4.8 on my 3Kg quad: No additional recal required. I set the gain to 25% each way...

If an idiot chose to fpv... yes 1800' is not a difficult. Laws will not stop it either - just like making 200Km/hr cars that are only allowed up to 100Km. I have flown 1Km away @ 100' (within our model field farm - with an observer). 1Km is far more than 1800'... just horizontal. This...
