It looks like a good machine bob but the controller doesn't have the Alt hold feature so it will take a bit of getting used to to fly FPV The extra few dollars spent on a controller that can d...

I might head down for a look tomorrow I'll post up what I find if I get do get there :)

I forgot to mention what the size means. A 250 size quad means that if you drew a circle so that the motors were all at points on the circumference then the diameter of the circle would be 250mm ...

To carry a gimbal with a Gopro in it's protective case, which is quite heavy, you will need at least a 450 size quad. You won't get much flying time with a 2200 pack probably about 4 mins with some ma...

with the master set you can do a lot of things I use the computer to load the firmware and alter the parameters, set up the flight controller etc. The Ipad was very handy for my spotter they could ...

I didn't end up getting down there this morning my 30 minuet window closed unexpectedly :(

I have this 59 inch span Sadler Vampire that is surplus to my needs. I had thought to use for FPV at one stage as it's a pusher and sizable enough to carry any sort of gear. It's also capable of going...

I might head down and walk in with something small to fly around 9:30 but I won't stay long maybe 1/2 an hour The field will very likely be too wet to drive on and we do not want to chop it up!! ...

Welcome Ian, Your certainly in the company of a like minded bunch here !!

Here's an even lighter, 3 rubber isolator version of the camera mount It gives a little more clearance as the 4 isolator mount is almost infringing on the downwash of the front two rotors. The swi...

Hi Tim welcome to the forum!! Look forward to seeing you down at the field. Hopefully the weather holds off a bit and it's not too damp by sunday

I saw it last night from the other side of the road, well I saw a heap of water going over the weir so I'd say the field probably went right under again. With this bit of wind and no more rain b...

I have a 9x It's ok a little tricky to buddy with as the channel order is different to the spectrum radios and the momentary trainer switch needs to be changed from normally open to normally closed [...
