Hi from York, UK

I've been posting a while on RC Groups but quadcopters Geoff told me about this place and said it was friendly, so I thought I would join.

I'm sort of on a quest to find the best aerial photography platform, and by now I've tried quite a few.

I have a fairly large collection of helicopters and multi rotor craft. Two Gaui 330Xs, a Lotus T580 wobble quad, a Feiyu Tech Scorpion Y6, a tricopter, a foldable aluminium quadcopter that currently has an MK clone board on, but is my experimental platform for any new flight controllers I try, and a Mikrokopter Hexa 2. I've also had two xAircraft x650s, but I lost both of those.

Hi York, Beverley here! I'm on my second x650 V4 first one is under the humber bridge in about 15' of mud if u want it!! Anyways I'm on a similar quest to you but with more of a focus on the most unusual rc airborne photo. How can I look at your cow crash? Best John

Rc these are awesome vids thanks, I am inspired! I went to that field next to the Minster at the weekend with a view to flying...but alas I bottled out as I just don't trust my x650 at the mo.......see my other thread in x650 forum. I am waiting for HiTec 9 Rx to arrive then I will reset everything and start again.....seriously hooked tho....am thinking X8 soon with a start in to fpv! Can I pick ur brains? Cheers John

@Airaid John, fpv is a must if you're going as high as the Minster. I definitely wouldn't trust an xAircraft x650 up there either. Unless they've vastly improved over the last 3 or 4 months anyway. Sure you can pick my brains, I don't mind metting up somewhere sometime either.

@Geoff, I would like your old Skywalker autopilot thingy. And, if you have the parts, everything I'd need to make my Hexa2 into a Hexa XL - i.e. arms, centre plates, power distribution board (unless you have a better alternative) and those funky motors you mentioned. And do I need different ESCs or not, not sure?

Hi m8 , No probs on the motors and center plates but you will need the longer booms as I have had to use the ones i had spare for that build I was telling you about , also the esc's will be fine but you will need 2 elkos on each bl2.0 for a heavier lift but these are not too much ££ . I have the XL Distro board in stock also so all you will need to finish is 6 x booms and 6 x elkos .

Actually I'll just have the autopilot for the skywalker for now. I might rethink what I want to do after I see some of the machines you're bringing on Saturday - i.e. I might want to make something bigger with a DJI.
