Your problem is that you make ugly multicopters!!! They don't want to go fast... just hide! ;)

Sub-50 seconds tonight! Quad weight - 1Kg without Gopro or 3S3300! I must be up at 1.5Kg :livid: I think a smaller battery and keychain camera... Pete

I'll weigh it tomorrow. I did a handling demo this arvo in 60km wind! Still in one piece. It got blown miles in the loop!

30kt gusts today. I have a photoshoot to do... down town! Well that aint gunna happen! My 3S batteries are old (most things I fly on 4S or 6S) and are struggling. My only decent 3S batt is 3300 and heavy. It gets bogged-down in the turns with the wind if I'm not careful. Add a Gopro...

Another go. i didn't hit the ground this time... but the damn wind keeps blowing. Pete

Yes - photogrammetry. Google : photogrammetry + multicopter and you will see samples. I did some trials a couple year ago with the Trex600 heli with a survey company. The biggest problem was keeping a constant altitude - and the second biggest was that most of the quarries and mines in my...

Just think... I might see yours before you do. I might even put my greasy fingers on your machine FIRST... That would be wrong though ;)

A month in theory (altho it is new...) ordered on the 25th. They don't need to post to me! I'll pick mine up. How accommodating of me i think!!! ;)

I've got all my stuff already too for my VM-6... I'll race you ;) Pete

Lucy is more than welcome... does my order get closer to the top of the list? ;) Email me if she wants the full-size photo. I would have got closer for a proper shot but Raglan was my first of 3 sites... at $360 an hour... I was shooting a new native forest area up on Maungatawhiri Road...

Blowing 35Kts above Raglan today... damn hard work. I didn't get close enough to check them out ;) The arrow is Droidworx... I have red on the back pair, fluro-green on the front pair. I have seen both options used. Pete

I'll check on them Nic... I'm flying past the factory on a full-size photoshoot this afternoon ;) Pete

Test before you go. Stacky and I just have occasions when the gimbal rolls when we are yaw'ing. It used to be really bad on V3 firmware and is much better now - but it still happens. Our weather has been crappy for weeks (spring westerly winds) so we haven't had a chance to fly. As for...

I have two HFP in the quad and octo. I've had them both up in 25mph. Happy so far. I haven't been given a date yet. With the wind we are having, they are not too busy flying - that is for sure. I'm flying passed their factory tomorrow on a full-size shoot. I could "drop" them a reminder ;)...

Just the VM-6. Sunnysky 120g 710Kv motors. I built my own hexa last year with 6 x 70g RcTimers... as shown below. It was awesome to fly. The kit might turn up and I'll change my mind! An X hexa will sort of be like flying my octo I suppose... I will need to look at my HFP FC choices...

I'm waiting too... the motors and ESC's are sitting quietly in a box in the shed... Mine will be stock +. I have looked at the X option and measured-up how wide the motors will be in relation to the camera FOV and I think they will be in frame with severe fwd-tilt of the copter in both...

Good luck on the recoverey. A quick fly over by another model would be perfect (I've done a few grid-searches for models...). Is it just me as a HFP owner that I've never had a fly-off but I read about them daily here...??? It just seams to happen too often. Pete

You are not the "new guy" ;) You have been at this game nearly as long as me :D You will find a little less politics/garbage (than the rcg multi forum that has got full of clutter...) and great info and help here. Welcome over here Guy. Pete

So you've been given an Audi for the Coromandel roads and told to go shoot... tough work! Lots of wind up there! I've postponed the fullsize shoot until Thursday. Weather looks best then. I've two weeks to shoot the other. Downtown shoot is on a busy street with trees and poles...

Nice shot Stacky. My two jobs got canned today. Weather wasn't good enough to fly downtown and my pilot cancelled my fullsize flight :(
