Hi all, I just got a good deal on a hex and a quad (plus some other bits). One of them has a rabbit flight controller. I knew this probably would need replacing with something more supported but would like to get it up in the air until I get round to doing that. Can anyone point me to some...

Hi all I recently bought a 250 quadcopter and a load of bits. It was however a mess of sticky pads and cable ties. It also had troubles flying (went up a bit then came back down). So I decided to strip it all down and start from scratch. I thought I had good enough pictures to get it back...

Yeha - all motors span and it did go up so I am saying motors/battery/ESC at the least look o.k. It's almost as if it's doing a RTH landing. Should have time to strip it all down tonight though. See where I am with it and maybe have a flight later today or tomorrow. First I need to replace a...

Hi folks, Finally got a chance to try out the quad I bought on ebay. Plugged into a laptop and had a look at the setting on the APM - all looked good. So off to the field I went. Everything seems to be fine but even at full throttle it only hovers a few feet (8-10 something like that) and even...

Well - it arrived today. So many wires. There are also several things not connected like the telemetry ... stuff is held on with tape and so on. I am thinking of stripping it down to just the bare minimum - motors - esc - controller - RX (I think that is enough to fly) and then setting up the...

So - the quad should arrive sometime this week. I recon get it plugged into a PC before I even attempt my first flight - check that out. I am also trying to find a local RC club that is not 100% into "proper RC planes" and has some sort of a multi-rotor section. I think I might have found one...

Yhea - a night sleeping on it and it's going to happen that way. A F450 (maybe a F550 or even 3d print something) with motors/ESCs seems to be about £60 on ebay. Drop the APM/GPS/telemity in there and put a KK in the FPV. May well invest in a second camera so I have FPV on the photo quad for...

Hi all, I have just joined the "big boys world" after playing with some toy grade quads for a year or two. I picked up a nice FPV250 with GPS - APM 2.8 screen, batteries transmitter and all sorts of other goodies for £130 I am not 100% sure what is going to end up being "my thing" but I am...

Hi GJH, I am not sure exactly what I will be doing. This one seemed like a good all rounder. For video I will be using the Mobius or maybe my SJ400 (Go-Pro Copy). For stills I have a Canon A570IS. This has been hacked and one of the functions is an intervaometer. The plan is to put in a big...

Well ... as it happens I bought this on ebay yesterday http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291838114715?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT It seemed like a lot of gear for a very good price. A 250 quad sems to be more than capable of lifting a gopro if the included mobious is not...

Hi all, I have a couple of RTF quads and they are fun. I now feel it’s time to step up and build something a bit more serious for aerial photography/videos. I have a SJ400 (go pro copy) that I am looking to get skyward and thought of something like an F450. With that in mind I found these kits...

Hi all, my x1 arrived today ... wonderful little thing but... I cannot find prop guards for it. Are there guards for anther quad that will fit?

Cool!!! The £18 was not so much as how much I wanted spend as the limit for tax free imports. I feel like a kid that has just been given the keys to the sweet shop.

I should clarify - my main desire for fpv is to allow me to frame shots. I intend to fly line of sight with a quick look at the screen to confirm I am videoing what I am after.

Hi all, I am just getting into quadcopters and am looking for my first serious purchase for aerial photos/videos. What I would love to do is use a GoPro WIFI as the camera/FPV system as this seems like it would be quite cheap and decent quality. I understand that generally this cannot be done...
