    IOSD Power Out ?

    the I OSD MK2 manual says the AV *input* port power is 11-13v at 1 Amp. AV *output* port power is equivalent to battery power (voltage) so for 6s it's 22v. Not good for your TX :-(

    Aeronavics / Droidworx AV130 with GH4

    Perfectly adequate, thanks. Thats a lot cleaner than I expected. I'd be tempted to dab a bit of black paint on them though to really complete it.

    Aeronavics / Droidworx AV130 with GH4

    Matt, Would it be possible to post a pic of the casing where the lugs detached please? I'm curious to see the condition after removal, clean or otherwise.

    Aeronavics / Droidworx AV130 with GH4

    ... and I bet you were holding your breath while doing so :-) Thanks for the update. Very useful info.

    Aeronavics / Droidworx AV130 with GH4

    That's what I suspected. Before cutting them, it could be worth emailing panasonic support to see if they can provide any info on removal of the lugs, or clarify if they are bonded, screwed in or even part of the frame..

    Aeronavics / Droidworx AV130 with GH4

    I would have done but the owner would not have been pleased ;-) They seem to be bonded very securely to the body skeleton under the covering. If I buy a GH4 I'll have a closer look at the options cut or pull, not sure which is going to be required.

    Aeronavics / Droidworx AV130 with GH4

    I found that those strap lugs also catch on the AV130 frame and prevent tilting more than a few degrees

    F450 with NAZA V2 unable to fly! Led flash intermitent orange colour!

    You may need to do a basic or advanced calibration

    Burned out transmitter?

    No problem. The info may be useful to others anyway. If you successfully replace the component, please do post the details here. I would be interested in knowing more about that component. I decided to replace the board in case other components on the board were 'stressed' by that component...

    Burned out transmitter?

    Before you replace the board, make a VERY careful note of the orientation of the motor output cable (front of the Naza ). I hadn't looked closely enough. the lugs on my connector suggested it connects one way round, in fact it was the other (the lugs are not used to match up with the connector...

    Align M690

    Seems like you're seeing what you think you're seeing. i wonder how that works with FC setup, gains etc

    Which flight controller for S900 - A2 or Wookong?

    For commercial work, definitely WKM. Google CAA and A2 safety concerns. there may a restriction if concerns are proven. Thee are other options too. superX claims to RTH without GPS, Gemini has dual FC and GPS for redundancy, although I don't believe either are proven FC's in the volumes that...

    Thats progress for you :-) I think everyone has a moment like that sometime. imagine what will be available in 8 years time that makes current tech look just as poor! :-)

    BNUC-s vs. RPQ-s?

    i believe they used the Southern map for their Northern course last time I knew of someone doing the Northern course. that may have changed now.

    BNUC-s vs. RPQ-s?

    I found it very beneficial to buy the Southern England Aeronautical Navigation chart (chart 8) and familiarise myself with it before the course. They supply one on day one of the course but having the chance to learn the chart before the course was of real benefit. Good luck. It's interesting...

    GPS Jamming NOTAM Aug 2014

    I see there is another GPS Jamming NOTAM for Sennybridge (South Wales) which is active until 15th August. I was surprised to see that the possible area affected is 180NM which virtually covers all of England and Wales and the South East area of Northern Ireland. My question is: I assume this...

    Hello from Simon Woodward.

    Yes, significant revenue potential. It is going to be a massive industry in ways we cannot even imagine. I see this as a similar situation to when I was at meetings with a very large computer service provider back in the late 80's discussing a system where companies would process invoices and...

    Hello from Simon Woodward.

    Hi Simon. If your involvement in full size aviation was flight related you will already be very well prepared for the course and exam. The main difference between manned and unmanned (apart from size and payload :-) ) is that you can operate much closer to the public in areas not segregated...

    Suggestions for drying out a camera <<insert guilty looking smiley here>>

    Bart, have you considered asking Sony support if they have any particular recommendations in this scenario. As you say, the stabilisation is quite delicate. They may know what works and what doesn't. I have the PJ780. fantastic stabilisation for Aerial work! Do you know why it happened? 3 Days...
