    Opinions wanted, which are the best motors out there for multirotors?

    I like SunnySky, they come well balanced and run very quiet and cool. The ones I use on my quads with 3S lipo are 980KV and I get a useful 7-8 minutes flight on my 450. A lot of fellow fliers have similar good opinion of SunnySky. Very affordable also. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    Wanted Wanted - Right Angle Pins for APM 2.5

    I need a set of right-angled header pins for the APM 2.5 board. Specifically, I only need the Input/Output set (that fit the forward and rear ends of the board). Willing to pay plus shipping to the UK. Can anyone help please?

    Just got started - now seriously building my own airframe!

    That Dragonplate material looks awesome. Thanks @EflierNZ - Loving the thought of using wood, although it is heavier than the F450 frame by 212grams at 494gm vs 282gm. It feels very Wright brothers :D More pics on the progress later.

    Just got started - now seriously building my own airframe!

    I appear to have got it bad - elsewhere I've been posting already my early learning-to-fly experiences. I guess I've been an RC addict since my teen years but never got round to doing anything about it. Anyway, settling in to the H450 airframe (see...

    My build so far

    Wow! Each time I look at it all I see is a Vulcan Bird of Prey :) Awesome.

    Learning to fly a quad - getting there slowly. And experience.

    @swisser - Well I've just gone out and burned up two 3S batteries - total flying time around 15 minutes, despite some "energetic" throttle control to save the airframe from another total. I did what you advised and nipped over to one of the local school sports fields, it is three pitches wide...

    Learning to fly a quad - getting there slowly. And experience.

    I'll do a video over the next two days of my current level of ability :D There is a sports field not too far away, its just that I've not really sussed out where I can/should fly the multirotor. I'm also wary (paranoid?) of the "giz a go" brigade. So have been looking for isolated spots. The...

    Learning to fly a quad - getting there slowly. And experience.

    @tstrike - Thanks for the table leg tip Tom, I'll certainly give that a go and see if I can assimilate that into my brain cells. I don't think I've been worked this hard since taking up learning a new programming language a few years ago. @swisser - Thank you for the excellent words of...

    Learning to fly a quad - getting there slowly. And experience.

    I reckon that I have wanted to get into flying RC ever since a young teenager, but it never happened. Now, in my second childhood, I have caught the multirotor bug rather badly. I simply have to learn to fly the things, and most particularly get into FPV piloting, the nearest thing to actually...

    Hi from Gravesend, Kent, UK - Official Crash Tester (so far)

    FPV using multi-rotor is where I'm aiming for, currently with a F450 style frame equipped with an Hobbyking KK2.0 with the latest firmware and flying Spektrum DS6i and DSMx receiver (Park Flyer at the mo). I am now waiting for the airframe parts to construct a third iteration of this 450...
