    Thanks Kgarrison. I see what you mean. We're new to the editing side of things which is why I'm asking for crit. Thank you. I'm glad you like the yaw movements. It's all copter, our camera man does not have control of pan.

    Wrote, recorded etc. It's not a real grand piano, and the timps, snares, chimes etc aren't real either. They're virtual instruments in pro-tools played on a midi keyboard. One of the guys I film with and myself are musicians first. The filming and flying etc came second out of mutual...

    Thanks for the input guys. It all helps. I thought it may have been a bit long myself. We did the music too, so I think it may have been a combination of not being decisive / brutal enough when deciding which shots made it to the edit, and wanting to keep the entire piece of music intact.

    UK National Trust land permission

    We recently flew at Wightwick Manor. We contacted the guys at the manor rather than the trust itself, and they OK'd it all. Hillsides and cliffs may be a different matter though as you won't have people on site to contact. I'd say just contact the trust, make it clear that your not just any old...

    Motor, ESC Temprature

    So would 35°C for esc temp and 42°C for motors be acceptable ranges? That seems to be what I'm getting on my micro y6 carrying a gopro

    Over-flying houses.

    Interesting. I have been gaining permission to fly when ever I'm within 2nm of an airfield or more if it's a large airport. Never had any issues with ATC and they've generally been quite accommodating. I have noticed on my permission that it does not mention residential areas. Just proximity...

    IPAD ground station does not work with WKM bluetooth LED module !

    I believe there is a new Bluetooth module (BTU) that plugs into the GCS module that would normally plug into your laptop. The BTU just acts as a wireless connection so that you don't have to wonder around with the GCS module plugged & gaffa taped to the back of your ipad. Connecting to your WKM...

    You spoke to EuroUSC about this or the CAA?

    How long should it take to charge a 10,200Mah LIPO battery?

    Are you charging at 1c (10.2 Amps) or lower? It will take longer depending on the charge rate (amps). Check your packs maximum charge rate. If it's 5c you can charge it at 51 amps...but I very much doubt your charger is capable of that. I'm unfamiliar with that model charger, but I know that my...

    WARNING - Firmware 5.24

    There have been lots of issues with DJI's firmware in the past. That's the reason I stayed with 5.02. One of the releases (can't remember which one) shortly after 5.02 was crashing octocopters that used traditional rx's. They didn't erase all history of it though...

    WARNING - Firmware 5.24

    Strange. This is the first time I've updated my wkm since 5.02. I've been flying a lot on 5.24 and other than the gps hold not being as locked as it was in 5.02, Its been fine. I've not had it exit into atti mode at all.

    Planning to build. 6s system

    The tiger motors are 2814-11's and are 710kv....well they're torxpower 3536 pros which are rebranded tiger 2814-11's. I loved flying my xoar 10x5's on 5s at about 5.8kg. Got 9 mins on 2x 5500mah. The high disk loading on the WKM gave excellent stability in wind. It wasn't as responsive as with...

    Planning to build. 6s system

    Only a 5s system but I'm running a 6.3kg octo on tiger motor 2814's. Upped my props yesterday from 10x5 to12x4. I expected to be taking them off, thinking that the motors would be running far too hot, but they came back down at only 70 degrees Fahrenheit. Now getting 14-15 minutes safe flight...
