I agree with Bowley... the KK2 will take you far. A quick warning. Don't look at the pro-grade videos from multis. They are the 5% that have spent $Ks and have years of flying experience! This is an example what a bit of diy, 18mm square pine and G10 or Hobbyking carbon plate + KK2 will let...

Good on you stepping-up Al and the team. I rolled back to 4.3.802 after I had two machines flip in AL while almost stationery - loosing a camera too. I fly a lot and I fly in 30Km winds at times. Nothing handles the wind like a HFP. Like Stacky, I have two boards (and a 2nd-hand Sport...

The Naza is a good step up. Once you start building and flying these things, you will suddenly find your shed full of them!

KK2 with lcd. Basic, cheap, works without any other device like a pc. Yes, you will need to learn how to fly rather than relying on the gps to do it... but you get to learn to fly! Not the damn controller. I see so many "multicopter pilots" that cant fly manual. I just don't see the...

I place a cd in place of the prop and put a small spirit-level on that. Free to spin to check the alignment... Pete

I have spent way too much them over the last 5 years. I have never not received an order. A delay due to poor counting by them delayed an order by 2 months (was in stock... but it really wasn't). Sometimes it's here in a week... more often 2-3 weeks. I accept that some really cheap items are...

8X4.5 8" wide tip-to-tip 4.5" Pitch. For every 360 rotation of the prop, it moves 4.5" forward (in the ideal perfect world). Lower pitch is best for most multis as the machine is not climbing at 30mph (like when a plane flies at 30mph forward) so lower pitch props are more efficient...

Hi there Dont forget to fill in your loaction ;) WI is such a nice place... why not premote it! Where in WI? Pete

Awesome. Thanks Ben. I'm just wondering whether having such a tight tollerence (with the need of being very level and in a stable hover) may be asking a bit much when we want to enable AH at 150'... where we are not able to judge climb/decend perfectly. Cheers Pete

No. My Droidworx hexa had 60 minutes of testing with r2 and I was finishing a shoot over a road. I was in AL for a VERY SLOW descent from 200' and a small thermal hit at 15' up and it start to pitch oscillated - until it flipped (smashing the RX100 camera + half the machine). My quad was also...

HF have said that you really need to be level and hovering at a stable altitude for AH to work with 4.6.r2. I did get an ok hold at 2% too - so I know what you are seeing. I tried all the way up to a high number and got quite a mixture of results. I always climbed to 50' so I had room for it...

I suspect he hit idle-up to bring the revs up with the collective mid-stick, then he moved the collective which was reversed. Just a hunch

While I love you sense of humor... I doubt the paranoid neighbour will ;) Pete p.s. Most of my neighbours have aerial prints of their homes presented to them by me. They enjoy watching my machine these days!

According to a semi-reliable source... A nylon-tie was too tight on one boom and shorted out the power... hence the smoke on take-off. We suspect the lack of control wasn't due to motor struggling or poor piloting but the FC not getting it's full supply of electrons. As for the actual...

As a previous 700 owner... I LOVED THAT! It made my night (well... apart from some night flying tonight). Pete

First impressions... "is that it?" Appears a "little" small... ;) Pete

There is pending legal action over this by the Police. I presume that is why it has gone. Good luck finding a copy... but someone here must have one ;) Pete

Will this do? Pete

The HFP has it's own gimbal outputs. It works too! It also has an OSD feature showing altitude and battery voltage.

The self-leveling of the HFP is really good. I "choose" to fly manual most of the time. I can fly... why not enjoy it. Stacky was down for a fly last week and while (fpv flying) he flew in manual mode, he flicked the HFP into auto-level for landing. I land in manual. The aggressiveness of...
