When you use brushless motors, as pretty much everyone does now, you need Electronic Speed Controllers, one for each motor, to tell the motor to spin properly - they (the motors) won't work on their own. Technically an old-fashioned brushed motor also has an ESC, but it's not really the same...

It really depends on how much you have to spend and how sophisticated you want your UAV to be. Basically you will need a frame, which you could make yourself, six motors, six ESCs, six props 93 clockwise rotating and 3 anti-clockwise rotating) and a central computer to run everything, plus a...

I like these a lot, totally Rockytastic. :)

I don't mind criticism. It's definitely a good and useful thing, so long as it's not used in a 'look how clever and smart I am compared to you - I know how you did that and it's easy' sort of way, and if the person can offer tips and useful ideas of how to make the picture better, that would be...

I agree, looks fantastic. It's a monastery in Turkey: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%BCmela_Monastery

I like it, makes me want to go there. I made this the other day from stuff I filmed last year, I think yours is a lot better though.

I made this video of a very old medieval church the other day. Has a few wobbles due to my makeshift camera mount, and I achieved a dreamlike effect by (accidentally) having a thumb print on the lens. :) Nice church though.

Looks good, I Liked it on YT. I can't believe someone gave it a dislike, I mean what's to dislike? What have you done with your camera mount to reduce vibrations anyway?

Obviously it's phaser fire.

Depends, in my case definitely not. Sometimes I don't need long range video, say if I'm just flying above a church, so I can just use the built in 5.8ghz and not have any wires anywhere. If you only do long range stuff then, yes, there is no point getting the RX versions as you'll need to plug...

Awesome, that tanker looks ace on the skidpan.

You aren't anyway, the 5.8 and 2.4 goggles have a video in, so you can either use the on board frequency or plug in an external receiver.

Does the 8fg allow you to program any channel into failsafe? I have a 7C but it only lets you do throttle on failsafe, which is no good for wookong.

I use fatshark 5.8 goggles with a portable lawmate 1.2 receiver attached to the elasticated strap at the back of my head. So I'm still free to roam around and can choose between 1.2 and 5.8ghz.

Very nice NOE flying with FPV. I need more practice low flying with the goggles, I tend to stay high up and remove the goggles when I get near the ground. Is that a Futaba radio by the way, 8FG or something? I'm thinking of going back to Futaba because I'm not satisfied with Spektrum.

Where abouts do you live. I mean which part of the country?

Cheers Dave. I did the church video line of site, but I do use video goggles sometimes also. I didn't take them with me that day because I didn't get them charged up in time. I actually told the guy from the house next to the church, who came to watch, about using goggles and how I would have...

I filmed this church, just saw it in passing and had to stop.

Not AP, but I had a go at time lapse photography yesterday and thought it was quite interesting.

Well done dude. Mine was photo number one, taken in a local park on a very very cold day. I tried doing some with a mirror first but it never came out right, so I went for plan B and attached the camera to a metal pole that I hastily taped to one of the legs and expertly bent to get the right...
