A quick 5 min tour of our Workshop https://youtu.be/aUh8vaI9PT0

That is very cool I'd like to see that

Contraversial !! I did see a 100km range air test of ELRS Not sure how the other makes would go in that scenario? I don't think it's a hollow claim as CASA fined the guy a few grand for doing it....

Thanks for posting this Very informative I’m just setting a few things up with ELRS at the moment.     I’m using Ardupilot and 5 is usually the flight mode channel but it’s easy enough to map to an...

That would be a hoot to fly. Not sure where would be a good place to fly it tho? Out on a dry salt lake in the desert perhaps? Untill you've heard one of those engines running you cannot appreciate th...

Looks like you can get these locally now for $89 That’s not at all bad Here’s the link https://www.phaserfpv.com.au/products/sonicmodellskyhunterracingwing

This is a really cool system. It works great with Ardupilot and if your a long way out flying FPV and suddenly your video dies or you just loose orientation you can just go into loiter or alt hold,...

It's looking nice and light!!
