I don't think the "shadow" thing will work here in the UK. In the winter, the sun is so low the shadows are a mile long...that's if you can actually see the sun! It's been overcast here for weeks now :( Regards, Gunter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

After a bit of inspiration from Ken and others, I thought I would rebuild the hexa from scratch. The main aim was to slim it down and reduce the weight a bit, giving me more flying time. I threw out the home made power distribution ring and replaced it with a Afropower distribution board. This...

Been there, done that :)

Dave, you have done the same as me, with tabs front and back. That seems the obvious way to do it...

Just wondering how peeps have orientated the lower board? I have built mine with the 2 tabs pointing backwards and forwards, but I have just seen DJI pointing the tabs left and right... What have you done? I'm trying to design a little landing gear for a camera mount...I suppose I should...

Denny, it's not BMFA anymore, there is another training course you need to attend (the name eludes me now) which costs dearly but needs to be done. You have to have a good amount of work lined up to pay for it! Regards, Gunter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've also looked at my usual suppliers and they also only have 1.6mm. Odd! Regards, Gunter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was just wondering if anyone actually earns a proper living from our hobby. I know of a couple of folk who have made a success of it (eg Jeff at QC.us and a few others) but does anyone else manage to earn a living from aerial videos and photo's? I suspect a lot of us have a normal job and do...

Yes :) Thanks for clearing that up, I obviously missed the release notes on the website...too busy looking at the click and go videos and wondering what I can sell to afford one :) :) :)

Good stuff, success at last! Well done for persevering! You are going to love the smooth flying :)

Dom, where abouts are you?

No, I think he means the WKM led which indicates what flight mode you are in or any errors.

It would be nice if they noted on their website what changes were made. I have a day or two free on my hands, I might just upgrade and see what has changed :)

OMG, that thing is huge! I thought mine was heavy at 4kg! Just a bit confused by your payload?? Regards, Gunter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great, it's coming on. That looks very big, what is the motor to motor distance? Gunter.

Oh bugger, seen this post a bit late! Im afraid I won't be as to make it in today Bart, got stuff planned for today unfortunately. :( Regards, Gunter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You need to arm the motors. After powering up, try pushing both transmitter sticks down and to the left for a second or two. Motors should spin up and idle. Regards, Gunter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, I thought they might be a bit small.

Not sure Ed, I haven't tried it. I really can't get to grips with ecalc, never certain what I calculate will actually work! Regards, Gunter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is quite a lot of drift, not just slowly but you have to keep the stick hard over to keep it one place. Last night I levelled it up on the bench with a spirit level and reset it, then played with some of the settings. I managed to get it a lot better but occasionally it gets a bee under its...
