Of course, and it's cheaper too :)

All I am waiting for now are the boom clamps, apparently coming on Tuesday/Wednesday. It looks like I might be able to fly it at the meet next weekend. A quick weigh-in says it's 3.7kg all up, including 2 batteries...is that good or bad? :) PS: it's a BEAST :) :)

Thanks for the replies...I have actually just tried to pull the red wire out of the connector, and it comes out quite easily. I used a scalpel to lift the locking tab and the wire slides out. I will just do this to make sure it's okay. I then put heatshrink over the terminal. :) Another...

Guys, I am busy wiring the WKM to the esc's. I read that the red esc wire needs to be removed...do I have to remove this, or will it work okay still connected? I'd rather no cut the wire if I don't need to. Thanks, Gunter.

Good one!

Brilliant Dave, I'm doing exactly the same thing right now :)

Matt, It does look like there are 4 of us going from the south, ovdt also needs a lift up. Will your jeep have enough space for 4 people plus gear? If not we can go in mine, with 4 people I can take out the back row of seats which makes a huge amount of space. Gunter.

Thanks Bart, that's exactly what I had in mind. So it's just the negative loop that's open? Can the positive be left open as well? Would it do any harm? I'll post some pictures later tonight when I've had a crack at it!

ovdt, I was planning to paint my hexa black with orange landing gear, but just spotted you have the same colours! Good choice ;)

I have the same problem with my laptop - I eventually had to connect with my desktop. I emailed DJI asking for drivers last week, but still no reply! Gunter.

Well, at the moment I have 10 gauge Turnigy silicone cable. I don't mind doing it with this instead of a board, due to the fact that I have already bought the cable, and I don't have space for the board! Dave has also suggested I leave the loop open, so that's what I will do... I will get the...

I am busy making my power distribution ring from batteries to esc's. I plan to make it so that I can use either 1 or 2 batteries, so a parallel connection. I just don't know if I need to make an open ring, or closed. Should I make it like the diagram, or should I close the loop as I have shown...

No idea I'm afraid, I have never used Archicad. Have you tried opening the DXF file? Maybe Archicad doesn't do 3d drawings?

No Boris, that is powder coating (Pulverbeschichtung) Anodising is when the aluminium is dipped into a tank (Eloxieren)

The glass of red is a must, things don't happen without it ;)

I agree, just make sure when you get the heatsink made, that the aluminium is the correct grade to be anodised. Not all aluminium can be anodised.

No problems, only happy to help :)

No Dave, that would be a dream for me! You're quite posh, what with 2 workshops! Gunter.

Make sure you don't fly that copter over the school at playtime! :)

I think it's a very clever design for getting a good view from the camera, up and down. With regards to the patent, I'm sure you will be okay building something similar. I think they would be more concerned if a manufacturer stole their idea and started mass producing them, but for one person to...
