    Sony Nex 5n test flight.

    Jeff/Dave, I read somewhere that the NE5 doesn't have video out, does the firmware update address that? I would buy this camera tomorrow if I new I could use it to frame photos/video while flying with a transmitter. It seems a lot of camera for good money. Gunter.

    LEDs.. WOW these babys are BRIGHT!

    PS: I have also received my LED's and they are super bright. If you look at them, you can't see properly for ages afterwards!

    Cable size??

    Boris, the shipping I selected said it would take 3 - 7 days, hopefully it will be here soon. Thanks for the help. Gunter.

    Cable size??

    I am now shopping for batteries and wire to make a power ring, I'm just not sure what rating the cable needs to be. I'll be running 6x 880kv motors each drawing 20A at 100% throttle. I'm thinking 2x 5000Mah 4S batteries Is 12 AWG cable suitable? I don't have any idea how the AWG relates to...

    Xoar PJN Electric 12x5 props

    That just dawned on me a few minutes ago when I was browsing their site...I'd look a bit of a fool with all RH props fitted, wondering why it didn't fly properly! I'll call and ask him tomorrow if he does both. Thanks, Gunter.

    Xoar PJN Electric 12x5 props

    Hi Bart, I would take you up on the offer but I have just found a local dealer (about 5 miles away from me!) that does JXF props (apparently JXF and Xoar are the same people??) Are these something similar to what you are getting? http://www.4-max.co.uk/jxf-props.htm Cheers, Gunter.

    Gunters new octocopter build

    It just depends really on your camera, + configuration might mean that you see the arm in the video where an X configuration means there is less for the camera to see.

    Gunters new octocopter build

    Ben, my sister lives in Stroud and we have friends in Nailsworth. That area is lovely, I wish it wasn't so far away from my work, otherwise we would have moved there! Regarding the ESC issue, lots of people keep them off the arms and under the canopy without a problem, so hopefully it will be...

    Gunters new octocopter build

    OVDT, I did initially draw the batteries under the centre plate, but what I found is that I had to make the lower mount a lot deeper, so that the battery didn't interfere with the 2 tubes for the camera mount. I know what you mean about the vibrations - I think what I might do is have 2...

    Ross, thanks for the comments. I'm going to just try and see how it works with the esc's in the main frame. I see where you're coming from, but I hate seeing them cable tied to the booms - I'd rather have a nice clean outside!

    Gunters new octocopter build

    I decided after a bit of deliberation that I would change the octo to a hexa. This means that I can use the last 2 channels on the WKM to stabilise the camera mount...quite important for me, as I plan to do lots of videos...a few hours design work later and it's almost ready to go to the laser...

    Does anyone have...

    Thank you und vielen dank.. the picture is very helpful. It such a pity the gps has a box right in the middle of the cable! I was thinking of mounting the gps on a boom, but that means the ugly box has to also go on the boom as well...I'm sure I will work it out! Gunter.

    Does anyone have...

    Oh, another question please! Do the modules just stick down with Velcro or something like that? I don't see any mounting holes... Thanks, Gunter

    Does anyone have...

    a link to a photo of the Wookong LED indicator? There's nothing on their website. Also, approximate length of the GPS cable. Thanks! Gunter.
